This is your reminder that millions of legally owned firearms killed noone yesterday.

Don't let them forget that Trump: Ended the asylum program to bring the Afghan translators to the US. Set the withdrawal deadline before the election forcing the withdrawal under Biden. The withdrawal left many translators and other Afghan support personnel stranded apnews.com/article/nati...

If they made a remake of this today, it would be from the perspective of Velda, the middle class, recently divorced mother who's become tough because she had to be. And a rich socialite with no wilderness skills becomes a major disruption to the program, threatening to undo her hard work.

New low reached. Citizenship ceremonies canceled. So now even following the legal path is being further restricted. www.localsyr.com/news/local-n...

Having a Mandela Effect Moment. Does anyone remember an epilogue to Death Note where Ryuk goes back to the Shinigami realm and meets a new arrival that we slowly realize is Light who has no memory of being human? Everything I look up says it doesn't exist and the creator says it doesn't exist.

Was just wondering what the overlap is between people who love Dr. Pepper and people who love black licorice.

Technically, that yeast has had more generations in your lifetime than your family has in all human history.

The Fleming Estate rejected the idea that Bond was a code name. Christopher Lee was the real James Bond. His exploits around WWII were Fleming's inspiration. That said, there's no real reason a reboot couldn't make it a code name in honor of the original Bond.

I read Godot in highschool lit. Our teacher started the lesson by telling us most people don't like it, but for some reason prisoners love it. I really should go back and read it with a new perspective. www.amny.com/entertainmen...

Carlin knew 30 years ago. The FCC is a violation of free speech. youtube.com/shorts/DTATe...

Snake eating it's own tail. Venture Capital are the property owners.

Coming Summer 2026 Where's Waldo: The Movie Starring Timothy Chalamagne

Hello, I'm an engineer in a movie. It's a sci-fi film because that the only time anyone finds engineers in any way entertaining.

I want to go back to the world where the worst kind of Nazis we had to deal with were grammar Nazis.

We celebrate the ideals this country was founded on. Ideals we have always fallen far short of. But it's the striving toward those ideals, the slow inevitable progress, that we have celebrated. And in this dark hour, we need to renew a commitment to achieving those ideals.

He's in a better place now. He died? No, he just went on vacation.

Ever notice there are no meat-based plant products. Seems like an untapped market.

Woodworking day. Added some bench dogs to my "lightweight traveler's bench" designed by Rex Krueger. Working with this bench, realized I need every inch I can get planing longer boards and needing to sit on the bench to add weight. Just hammer from below to pop them up and hammer them down.

Maybe it's just me, but there really hasn't been a lot of sci-fi films in the last few years. And the quality of what we have gotten has varied wildly. Is it because we're actually living in the scifi future we dreamed of in the 90's and it's so disappointing?

If this is true, it is a violation of national and international law. apnews.com/live/donald-...

POTUS is openly accepting bribes. The only two bodies that can hold him accountable, are compromised and will do nothing. The DOJ has endorsed the deal and said it is legal. Congress will not lift a finger out of fear. A Midterm landslide is the last chance we have. apnews.com/article/trum...

At a very busy pizzeria. Passing the time watching the two guys running the ovens annoy the crap out of each other and getting in each other's way. This could be an entire sitcom with no dialogue.

Is it just me, or does this artist's shpeel sound like it was written by AI? www.timeout.com/newyork/news...

For every like this post receives, I promise not to list one favorite anything.

With the failure of the US to lead, we're also seeing the uselessness of the UN to step up. But NATO is very slowly waking up. They're starting to ramp up their own military production and making plans for their own defense without US involvement. The question is will they enter Ukraine.

Went to this park many times as a kid.

Behind closed doors, Harvard should be telling every member of Congress that they can forget their kids and grandkids getting to attend if they continue to support Trump's attack on universities.

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @booker.senate.gov The time for politics as usual has passed. The strategizing for the midterms is too little too late. Lives are being destroyed, rights trampled and lawful orders of the courts ignored. Act now or there may not be a midterm.

They really do just always game the system in their favor. $11Billion loss mitigated with some financial slight of hand and possibly a long term win. youtube.com/shorts/LpgNH...

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

A Constitutional Convention can be called by 2/3 of the states. And it takes 3/4 of the states to ratify a change. The people need to demand Ranked Choice Voting at all election levels; Federal, State, Local. Both parties have failed us and continue to fail us. They are bought and owned.

Today is Becky Conner's 50th Birthday. In case you weren't feeling old already.

Launched October 25, 2001. The world has never been the same.

There is one. It's called Ranked Choice Voting. When you can have multiple successful parties and have to form coalition governments to achieve majority control, your coalition can fall apart in a heartbeat if you try anything authoritarian. We need to fundamentally disrupt the two party system

On This Day in History: Mohandas Ghandi began the "Salt March" in protest of an oppressive tax by the British. After a 24 day March to the sea, he and other demonstrators taught people how to make salt from ocean water and avoid paying the tax.

This is my hand made wooden mallet. Carved from a piece of firewood. I don't have any build photos. Finished with butcher block oil and paste wax.

The Dune books explore methods of control and manipulation. Religion, politics, mythology...all methods of control. "Thinking Machines" were the ultimate control that almost ended humanity. All because of how people willingly surrender control to others.

Recently got serious about taking up woodworking as a hobby. After completing a couple of projects, thought I'd share with some people who might appreciate it. Thanks to Rex Krueger for his book and his YouTube videos for the inspiration and plans.

There are a lot of empty retail spaces in Manhattan that frequently rent out for pop-up shops and special events. All you have to do is contact the management company.

Has anyone done a mash cut yet between Conclave and The DaVinci Code?

Post a great sci-fi Nemo

ST:TNG should have done an entire episode with Riker in the uniform dress. Noone acknowledges it in any way and the episode remains just as serious and high stakes.

Here's the thing I hear NOONE saying. The Federal Government is NOT A BUSINESS. It is not meant to turn a profit. It is not meant to gain a financial return on investments. It is not meant to generate returns for investors. Its employees are not meant to produce revenue.

Request to authors: Hopeful visions of the future are much needed. Those SciFi tales that envisioned a better tomorrow. We need more of those, based on today's science. After we've learned the tragic lessons, how will we fix this mess?

Eddie Vedder on SNL50 Concert looks like he's planning to take over Nokotomi Plaza.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. When your basic needs of living aren't being met, higher aspirations mean nothing. The next progressive president needs to make ending poverty the new moonshot.

What movies released in the last 20 years will be considered classics and rewatched in 30 years? Which movies will stand the test of time and be remembered fondly?

This video completely turned around my opinion of the Matrix sequels. Yes, better storytelling would have made this clearer within the movies themselves. Yes, you shouldn't need a degree in philosophy to get the meaning. But, once you understand the intent... youtu.be/ZvyCyyFRpfE?...
