Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

The right wing media apparatus needs to be smashed with hammers. Literally, if necessary.

Urgent #mutualaid needed — I’m ahead with my birth certificate finally on the way, but despite working as hard as I could I am short on rent and in a scary position once again. Any tips, purchases, etc. would be appreciated and #help keep me alive until I’m stable 🖤 #disability #marequest #donate

A reminder that this week's edition of Goon Pod is a discussion of the Richard Lester-directed It's Trad Dad, featuring a very special guest: Andrew Hickey of A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs @andrewhickey.500songs.com

A quadrillion times this, PLUS No one is doing well right now, hetero relationships tend to hinge on women doing all of most of the emotional labor, and I suspect that a lot of women have decided they simply do not have the emotional bandwidth for that at the moment given *gestures broadly*

I wanted to make a Naked Lunch joke, but I cut it up.

I want to make a War of the Worlds joke but it’s too sick.

I have a theory that Spock's human mum was autistic as fuck, which is why she got on with Vulcans.

This is well worth reading through. Some of the best Star Trek micro-fiction I've seen

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

An even more hostile place

I support the government’s move to ban the province’s use of the clause, they abuse it against Canadians’ will every time for social conservative policies. #cdnpoli #lawsky

We can talk about "House of Guinness" now. I hated it. Hated it. Hated it so much. It's "Peaky Blinders" without the specificity meeting "Succession" without any moral insight. A trashy soapy love letter to our benign benevolent billionaire corporate overlords. Daddy Warbucks knows best. It sucks.

I cannot get over how badly “House of Guinness” wants to be “Succession”, but “Succession if the billionaires were slightly dysfunctional but ultimately decent people who cared for you plebs, which they do.” It’s such a strange, strange choice.

i cannot talk about anything for three hours without prep, impromptu speech is not the best way for me to organize my thoughts or express myself and i will shut down within ten minutes regardless of how encouraging the feedback i’m getting is

The wife and I are watching Star Trek over dinner tonight and it's either going to be TOS or DS9. So posed the question to her: "Do you want to watch Captain Kirk beat up a Greek God or Keiko O'Brian behave camp because she's possessed by a space!Demon?"

"Ye noble Diggers all, stand up now, stand up now!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD_v...

I've been listening to it for the first time today and it's really good. Didn't even know Ellington did that as well!

The whole thing about how the postwar consensus has effectively shielded the western voter from political consequences because of checks and balances is...really fucking annoying

A lot of people are reacting to the mad statement in headline, and sleeping on the even madder statement that "if we lose, we lose, but you lose by war anyway". You are running to be president of a country that won its independence *in a war*.

Can’t believe they’re doing young Bond when the logical next film would be Zombie Bond. He could team up with Baron Samedi. It would be awesome.

Dems should be clear that post 2026 election any political prosecutions ordered by Trump will be investigated, line prosecutors called to testify, and if warranted, impeachment of AG and any other senior DOJ involved. There have to be consequences.

The 'Merikkkan Nazi Regime is already murdering millions.

This is fascinating - it shows that basically Bluesky is a mindless Blue Resistance platform at heart, but because the website doesn’t push anything on you, and that scene is such a bubble, you never have to see any trace of it.

Writing for Pitchfork used to be a game of Grandmother’s Footsteps where the average review score would creep up slowly until the editors would send an email around saying “the 6.x score does exist you know” and the cycle would begin again

Mrs R: "There was a woman on the ward today who didn't want to take paracetamol. We've had to explain that we're not giving it to her because she's got a fever and we want her to feel better, but because she's got a fever and if we don't get her temperature down then her baby is going to die."

We're going to be finding mass graves.

Who would have thought that you need actual creativity to make a film? I'm glad to see that this project has run aground. Link to the source: petapixel.com/2025/09/23/m...

After forty-odd years of playing electric guitar, I finally have my first actual Fender Stratocaster.

Classic Great Derelict which has reminded me of my favourite recording from good old @quitstartrekpod.bsky.social, which was when we got @almurray.bsky.social to come on somehow

George Herriman is arguably one of the first major black artists in comics. And the only reason for that is because NO ONE KNEW HE WAS BLACK. He was light skinned enough to be white passing & hid that fact into old age so that he WOULD be able to continue drawing largely due to rampant racism.

I think the biggest key you will ever need to understand the quintessential american in politics is that there is no greater sin in this world than being inconvenienced. That nothing stokes their fury like a mild inconvenience. Nothing motivates them like the promise of less inconvenience.

reading Ed Davey's speech attacking Farage like:

That's from Genuine Imitation Life Gazette, one of my favourite albums -- one of those albums where someone goes "We're not just pop stars any more, we're great artists and we're going to experiment!" They usually come just before the "Oh shit, can we be pop stars again instead?" album...

And the latest main episode of the podcast is now up! Lulu! The Shadows! Jackie DeShannon! Frankie Valli! Frank Sinatra! The Gillette advert! It can only be part one of the story of "Dazed and Confused" by Led Zeppelin (in which Led Zeppelin themselves do not appear).

Bacially almost all the major black and white characters were born out of homages to minstrelsy. I talk about this in my Character Design classes actually

I’m the subscriber they make all their money on: I subbed to watch one show and then my ADHD kicked in and I forgot I had a subscription until this. Now that I no longer have a subscription, my ADHD will kick in again and I’ll forget they exist at all.

A new episode of The Backdrop is now available from @darrenmooney.bsky.social talking about the "other" successful cinematic universe.

I agree it’s good to convert voters. The thing that DC Dems can’t seem to get into their thick skulls is that kumbaya listening sessions convert no one. What converts people is creating a social penalty for stupid beliefs and ideas
