Republicans hold their ground because they're terrified of being primaried. Dems do not fear the primary. Make them fear it. Show up for your local party meetings. Campaign for a better candidate. Posting online will not move the needle. Show up and be impossible to ignore.

I know we're all mad, but you have to admit that it's an astounding coincidence that the only Dem defectors are those not seeking reflection next year. And Dem leadership was powerless to stop them! Wow! What are the odds? The world is full of wonders and mysteries.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Y'all, the hospital where I had my surgery is running trials to see if GLP-1 medications can help people suffering from long COVID. It's open to any person with documented long COVID who lives in the US. Please pass it on!

Predator Badlands understands that the secret to a good Predator movie is 70 minutes of toxic masculinity and 30 minutes of "toxic masculinity has failed, time to build elaborate booby traps."

I came with this at 3 am while feverish. I will not be answering any questions.

It's like the old saying goes: Never use a UV light in a DS9 holodeck

I'm enjoying Strange New Worlds (in the middle of S2), but I can't for the life of me get through Discovery. Disco answers a question I never had: "What if Star Trek was drunk?"

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer had a better title than a premise, and a better premise than execution. It should have been Harriet Tubman, freeing slaves and terrorizing blood-sucking fiends.

A lot of terrible people seem to be dying lately. I like to think that some deity's cat is running across the keyboard and mashing the "smite" button.

SOCRATES: No god is a philosopher or seeker after wisdom, for he is wise already; nor does any man who is wise seek after wisdom. PLATO: Neither do the ignorant seek after wisdom. DARRYL, SOCRATES AND PLATO’S FRIEND: well well well if it isn’t the blowjob brothers

Once a year every zoo should have a day where they stick the richest dozen people in town into an animal enclosure voted for by the people Guy isn't a sex pest freak, donates to charity, etc? He spends 12 hours with the capybaras Guy is a certified failson freak? He gets to really know polar bears

Amazing reference

Star Trek TNG, S5E19: Captain Picard yells at Wesley do to the right thing and Nick Lorcano* yells at Wesley to do the wrong thing, and Wes has to decide who he's more afraid of *legally distinct from Tom Paris 8/10 cool story, shame none of this will ever come up again

Wait, this is relevant.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Today's court ruling sets a dangerous precedent. Pandora's lunchbox has been opened. God only knows what kind of portable cuisine will be weaponized next.

Attacking constituents is a losing strategy, and a lot of Republicans learned that the hard way this week.

Roll balls of crap around while looking up at the sky for approval?

My public school teachers showed this movie to us in class, for educational purposes. (The lesson was that the US was a nation of immigrants and that's what made us great.)

"I've placed a weakness deep within the system. A flaw so small and powerful, they will never find it. And I made sure none of the platforms have hand rails. And I put a dianoga in the trash compactor 🤣" - Galen Urso

Final update with the results all in and Virginia looks Sonic the Hedgehog's back

A Definitive Ranking of U.S. State Flags 🧵 1. Virginia: A+ • Strong anti-fascist message • Tits out for liberty • Her outfit looks comfy • Fuck bras; don't need 'em • That lady just teabagged Caesar's corpse • Girlboss

This is why Chuck has NO REASON to come back to the table. Let them twist. If you're coming back with wins this big during a shutdown, the people know where their bread is buttered. Don't throw them a lifeline. These aren't tiny margin wins. They're blowouts.

This article underscores what I've long believed: if you are doing something that Captain Picard would disapprove of, then you need to stop immediately and rethink your life (this doesn't apply to dating)

Go woke or get smoked

I wonder how many seconds it'll take after polls close for the decision desk to call the NYC mayoral election

this is the most successful a CIA officer has been at toppling a government in years.

Sic semper tyrannis, bitches

Rob Liefeld could never

I once met a woman who worked for Dick Cheney during the Bush Admin. She had to go to his house for a meeting on Christmas morning, and the grandkids were running around the house, each one holding a Darth Vader doll. When asked about it, Cheney rolled his eyes and said his wife bought them.

Polls are open Virginia! 6am-7pm. Go to iwillvote.com to find your polling location. Let's elect @vademocrats.bsky.social up and down the ballot, and make @abigailspanberger.com our next Governor!

I don't care how stupid the name is. I'm going to see GOO in the theater 5 times until the theater employees start calling us "the Godzilla people" again

Klingon High Council, I know that my family name is still in disgrace. It is not necessary that you send me annual reminder emails. Worf

And then Tuvok beat Neelix to death in one of Voyager's most satisfying scenes

If I ever found out that a friend did this to me, I would never ask them a question again. If I wanted to know what the robot thought, I'd have already asked the robot. But I will never care what the robot thinks. I've seen what it suggests as pizza toppings.

It's a good thing Nikola Tesla isn't alive to see his name being dragged through the mud by a Temu Thomas Edison. He'd be so mad that he would probably write an angry letter to the pigeon god who lived on the windowsill.

pitch black outside at 5:30, this is bullshit axial tilt was a mistake janky fuckin planet can't even rotate perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic

Kids these days are so fantastically ignorant that they can't recognize the Grand Nagus himself even when granted a personal audience. The average teenager can barely name 5 or 10 of the Rules of Acquisition.

The Simpsons and The Good Place are in the same fictional universe Time moves forward but the Simpson family never ages. They live in a town full of freaks and weirdos, unmoored from Euclidean geometry. The town torments the Simpsons. The Simpsons torment the town. Who are the demons? None can say.

Let me get this straight: last night there was some kind of international incident involving hitting balls with sticks, which means Kendrick Lamar has won the rap feud against Drake (again)

Every now and then something reminds me that Inside Job was cancelled and I get angry all over again

It's simple: we treat every human interaction like the other person might be infected by the Thing. That's why whenever Dearest Husband comes home from work or errands, I poke a fresh blood sample with a hot wire and vice versa.
