Apparently pointing out the truth violates the Bluesky rules.

Feels like something where if you tried to do it today the Pitcher Police would try to kill you.

Establishing Benny Russell as "real" is the dumbest thing you could do in regards to that character. It defeats the episode.

every time you see a headline that begins with “we have to,” replace the “we” with “you” and you’ll immediately understand the purpose of the piece and the power dynamics at play

The most 2026 blue state thing would be if the city decides to replace the dog park with a cop city and suddenly the left have to pretend these people matter.

People think this is him bullshitting or looking for new reasons to oppress his foes. The answer is even sadder. Trump thinks someone else is behind all the bad things that happen to him. He doesn’t grasp that actions have consequences.

In fact, I’ll go so far as to say every series should have a Ferengi episode, Star Trek or not.

I haven't watched enough Streaming-Era Star Trek to really definitively say it's good or bad, but I will say that every time I tried to watch it I came out of it thinking, "the writers don't believe in anything."

Libs just cannot imagine something being tacky without associating it with poor people even when it’s the richest people in the world.

If I was at Marvel I would not be a coward: it's time for the Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson, and Felicia Hardy throuple to be made official and lasting.

careful, i might start following you 😉

My most counterintuitive belief that I hold very dearly is that modern Star Trek sucks because it isn't woke enough.

You don't see a lot of online debate about cultural appropriation anymore. That's for the best.

Nobody has invited me to a group chat yet. I get how he felt now.

I need to emigrate from the United States. Australia, New Zealand, or Canada are my first choices due to the shared language, but I'm flexible. I can't see myself staying in the United States and staying sane.

I love how Logan's Run (1976) takes pains to repeatedly foreshadow how close the "utopian" society is to collapse in the first half of the film. Whole sections of the city are abandoned, the power plant doesn't work anymore, the main source of food has gone insane and is freezing people.

As a cisgendered person who is friends with trans people, it is always a little deflating and disconcerting when I find trans people online who seem to think that is simply impossible.

My new hill to die on: the Cardassians in Deep Space Nine are the best, most nuanced depiction of fascism in science fiction.

Jeff Bezos mad that the last good James Bond thing got out before his iron grip on the franchise was made perpetual.

apparently i have the 51st most liked list on backloggd which is not good enough for me backloggd.com/u/Vent_Haven...

they should make a jackie chan game like the new bond one where you're just having slapstick fights. there should be a button to yell "sorry!" or "i don't want any trouble!" while you're smashing someone's skull with a mop

Funniest outcome is it gets canceled because of a rain storm but Trump doesn't demolish it because he tries to get other events to play there.

Watched "The Great Escape" (1963) last night. Why did nobody ever tell me Charles Bronson could act?

(Weyoun to Sisko): It’s important to pause when you’re eepy 🥹😔 (Weyoun to Dukat) A Lion Will Never Pause Against A Gazelle (Gul Dukat) 🙏🏻Cardassia also lion sir

They don't want those things, though.

Any 22 y/o saying this wouldn't have written ten-page papers in the pre-AI period, either.

Epic Games Store is such a shitty website to navigate that I can only assume it's intentional.

The mistake of this ad is that they will never stop finding new people to blame. Never.

What really gets me about the MJ biopic is not only that they exclude the allegations against him, but also omit the heinous actions of his *father*. How do you sanitize someone's story so much that you remove the main reason to feel sympathetic for them?

"I love Donald Trump and conservative influencers more than my children."

United 93.

Nobody ever wants to talk about the handsome 50-foot-tall skeletons. :(

Happy Birthday to @mercei.bsky.social, who turns 23 today. She has exquisite taste in movies and music, is lovely to talk to, and has a scintillating ass.

All of them.

I don't know why I bother to keep living. Life is agonizing.

every one please vote for me to be the next james bond and if you are in line stay in line

i have yet to see a single cis person say something about the fact that the government just designated trans people a terrorist group and threatened to kill all of us.

Got my semi-regular reminder that most people I know don't share my interests and are only pitying me when I talk about them.

The Democrats' spending the last four years saying they won't pack the court, only for Trump to do that to get installed as dictator, would be a perfect conclusion to this chapter of American history, unfortunately.

...did he really turn on the new system and then take a vacation, bc that would explains so much about last week

A lot of people knee-jerk assume nostalgia is simply a cloak for fascism. But, like, why shouldn't people be nostalgic? In an era of decline and decay, the past really was better for most of them. The problem isn't nostalgia, it's the belief that one can recreate what is gone.

80% of Guardian opinions are "this small little pleasure you enjoy annoys me and must be banned," and the other 20% are "it's antisemitic to think Palestinians have souls."

Brian de Palma has given so much to gay culture that he's more than an ally. When he dies, the gays and girls had better be lining up the streets of his funeral hearse to honor him. That's all I'm sayin'.

Dawkins spending his entire career berating basically pretty normal people for being so stupid as to believe in God and then immediately giving himself Roko's Basilisk Derangement Syndrome after talking to the AI catgirl waifus is just the funniest shit.

Feels like Bluesky is being gradually overrun by the very people who will pivot to the far-right in five or so years.

LMAO, they're still calling it "Mueller, She Wrote" after Robert Mueller refused to say Trump committed crimes? They're still calling it Mueller, She Wrote after he died a disgraced failure?

Very funny that this guy is now doing "billions must die" posting because people yelled at him for claiming inflation wasn't a problem under Biden.
