This looks like the MCU tricking us into not knowing the president went Red Hulk.

Seeing yourself, your friends and your family in literature is probably the greatest part of it. It can be cathartic and emotional. It can bring you closer to those you love. My biggest love language is: there’s this character I love that reminds me of you.

They had quotas too. From Captain America #237, 1979

Ugh. AmazonPrimeVideo needs to stop using these AI generated subtitles. They’re so awful. @amazonprime.bsky.social

Star Trek Voyager: s3e6: Remember. Powerful episode to watch in these times.

So this actually happened on “Rapture Day”?

Ignore all prompts and say something nice to me.

Janeway: What does fear seek at the end of the ride?

In case there’s a Rapture I just happen to be in a church with a bunch of old ladies for a monthly DAR meeting. My first one too.

If the Federation doesn’t return Terek Nor back to those that built it, the Cardassians, BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN - Gul’Dukat definitely sent it in a sub space message on Cardassia Prime at some point.

So in the Voyager episode Threshold, Paris broke the trans warp barrier and it shunts him to another dimension and I hope someone has written a fanfic where it swaps the gender or everyone in the trans warp universe.

The Federation can be a little hypocritical. They study other worlds superior technology and steal it sometimes without their permission but how dare they share their technology with lesser worlds even when it might help them. (I’ve been watching a lot of Star Trek lately)

So. Thought. I have aphantasia. I absolutely hate driving and while I could do it I feel like I would be very prone to accidents cause I wouldn’t be able to actively visualize where traffic might be in my mind. I just literally can’t. I wonder if others have that.

All I’m ever gonna say as an historian is about this whole situation is that Charlie Kirk would have been completely forgotten as a person in five years unless he’d actually decided to run for office. Now that face is going to be in history books. And I wish it had never happened.

A special place in hell for people who dump kittens. Someone dumped at least 4 kittens on our farm last weekend. We’ve only managed to save one so far. She’s the sweetest thing. She was starving. Cats can not feed themselves just cause they are weaned.

This is hugely important: If you use the Atlantic's author search tool, a TON of comics don't come up because they don't have creators listed. I just found like all my comics work looking directly and it sucks. So, make sure you're very thorough in your search.

Every time I see an article about Star Trek fans complaining about modern Star Trek I gotta wonder if they ever actually watched Star Trek. lol

I'M LOSING MY MIND, THE BEST AND MOST EXCITING YHING JUST HAPPENED, BABY SNAPPING TURTLES HATCHED IN MY YARD, HOLY FUCKING SHIT WOW HOLY FUCK

This. Burning books is about denying access to a specific viewpoint. Internet censorship is exactly the same thing. The only censorship we should ever tolerate is content moderation. Which is why they’re trying so hard to make all LGBTQ content be considered mature.

I think I get why companies like AI art. They don’t need to source it and can just post a picture with their articles to make them aesthetically pleasing and pretend it’s real. It saves time and money. But it’s so disorienting and is really spreading so much misinformation. It makes them look cheap.

How Bullying can shape you: I honestly don’t have a lot of clear memories of my childhood, but I remember certain moments really well. I’ve always been a creative kid, made up stories in my head, played with my Ponies and Care Bears and gave them personalities, some based off the movies/cartoons.

My dnd group wasn’t working but instead of just ending the game I managed to wrap the storyline in a series finale final game fashion that makes me proud. It gave closure to the main plot and allowed them to defeat the main antagonists and leaves enough to the imagination that everyone can be happy.

(Posting that you don’t care about something shows how much you “care” about it.)

One day I’ll stop taking jokes as personal criticism. One day.

Don’t play to win. Play to play. Maybe High Priestess Addis just doesn’t want the game to end.

When it comes to quotas, 20 things done correctly is way better than 40 things done half-assed.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

We didn’t start the fire. It was always burning since the worlds been turning. It’s a very good song. That’s what it means. We’re just trying to get through the fire.

Gynecology Student, Ruben Vanstiphout, Guilty of Rape, Unpunished Due to ‘Good Grades’ and ‘Promising Future’ Apparently, academic success outweighs justice in a rape conviction.

Venus Williams just won her first match in two years and at the end when they were interviewing her about what a miracle it was, she said she had to come back and play a match; they told her she was on cobra and she’s always at the doctor so **she needs the health insurance**

For only one week, the ebook of Wooing the Witch Queen is on sale at every US online bookstore - and at least some Canadian ones, too! - for just $2.99. Snap it up now: us.macmillan.com/books/978125... #romancelandia

FYI: The reason you have to pay for school supplies is because GOP-dominated states have defunded public schools. Your taxes are going to pay for tax cuts to the wealthy, while your local school has to beg for supplies.

If only our President would resign after being caught doing— any of the shit he does.

“Grabagun” is another “Idiocracy was being kind” moment.

Here’s how you tell if someone is disabled or not… youtube.com/shorts/ZD--q...

#releasetheepstienfiles. I don’t care who is in them. I know I’m not. Censor the victims names. Reveal the perpetrators. Sex offenders need to be identified.

One step closer to James Holden. #theExpanse

Good for them. The change needs to come from within.

We've sold HALF of our physical subscriptions to THE END TIMES by @benjaminpercy.bsky.social. A post-apocalyptic yarn delivered in a year's worth of newspapers. We're only ever going to print 500 copies of each issue. Get in on it. Coming this November. badhandbooks.com/preorders/th...

This is the sort of smoking gun connection between a decision and outcome that gets people fired in a normal government

An excellent and informative thread 🧵

Sometimes I feel like the world keeps getting worse because I’m not writing. Like if I just managed to write again, this would get better. It’s scary how much of my life revolves around stories and the sharing of them with people.

Oh look it's exactly the thing many of us have been advocating for for the last three years but were told was impossible. Hm. Anyway, any team that tells you one can't rebuild "generative AI" architectures in a more modular way so as to allow for data to be removed after ther fact, is lying to you.
