Why Would Women Like Naked Gorgeous Men Talking About Their Emotions. Why Would Women Like Beautiful Sexy Men Yearning Sexily. Why Would Women Like Sculpted Butts And True Love. The Female Mind Is An Enigma.

every seat in a movie theater should have an "I have to pee" button and if enough people press it they should be able to pause the movie

Very funny to judge Vulcans by the measure of Spock. Not because he’s half human you racists, but because his lived experience was atypical—and like Worf a while later, informed more by the IDEA of an ideal.

i was the only home whose cable didn’t go out when the sopranos finale aired and it showed tony looking up and seeing two guys walk into the restaurant holding hands. then it cut back to tony shrugging, which you have to understand in 2007 was a very powerful statement

I refuse to click this link. So long as I don’t click, I can cling to the hope that it’s satire.

Amazing to live in a country where every day you can watch Republicans gin up issue salience out of nothing but attitude and 4chan posts and a sizeable chunk of people think Democrats' only power is to vote yes or no on bills placed in front of them

Not sure what I thought LCD Soundsystem sounded like, but I wasn’t expecting David Byrne adjacent (not the vocal sound, the overall vibe).

“Why should you listen to me about this topic? I’m an expert with my graduate degrees in media studies with secret information Wikipedia doesn’t have, connected with communities of inside information.” Immediately mispronounces the title of a famous bit of media that’s famously often mispronounced.

So it’s been a week, and… a few more bits of resist-lib and fascist trash to scroll by, but… no more than the usual number of argumentative nuts or threats. 🤷‍♀️

"If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money." I keep thinking about this post and how it's one of the best, most succinct messages Democrats could use in 2026 campaigns.

“Sounds plausible if you don’t know better and appeals to baser instincts even if you do” applies to too many shitty things in this world but it nails gen ‘ai’ to the fucking wall.

Cut the clickbait: choosing your fate and the moral grey of the galaxy. This might be the thinnest article I’ve ever seen. Yeah, there’s worse, but while still being technically real, it doesn’t get much thinner.

The wealthy are always so GD worried some poor people are gonna commit some small time fraud. Meanwhile, big corporations are committing HUGE afraid. Just look at defense contractors. Why? Because we have all been taught to see the wealthy as virtuous and to see the poor as lazy and unworthy.

So as a news organization, it’s kind of your job to state the facts in the headline, which include that Mark is factually correct here while Pete is both lying and attempting to do something quite illegal. Putting “seditious” in quotes is not enough.

second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry

I can get behind people seeing any kind of movie as not their cup of tea, but saying the Knives Out movies are boring? Is… everything… boring to them?

“Smart casual” is pretty much the antithesis of every autistic person I know, who I would generally describe as a “silly formal”

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Very funny to me how fan artists will redesign the 1701 and it’s just “what if it had a hideously huge neck (because that’s a weak spot dontchya know, unlike… the rest of the ship lol)” Ok…?

I enjoy LegalEagle quite a bit, but I’m ready to object (flip a table) every time he says something couldn’t happen because that’s not legal or not how the system works. Like Devin, homeboy, have you seen the system? I appreciate the optimism!

At what point do middle class folks slip from feeling like Mobile Security & Light Towers in every grocery store parking lot are making them safer (it’s OTHER people they’ve got eyes on 🤪) to feeling like they themselves are being surveilled & pushed away? In what world are these good for business?

Everything we accepted being done in places like Palestine will be done again and again elsewhere until we stop accepting it anywhere. We can't carve out exceptions where human rights don't apply and expect human rights to still apply everywhere else.

Whenever I correctly point out that there is no opposition party in US politics, the usual suspects swarm to screech about Dems having no power. If these folks are correct (they are not), then they should BUILD POWER. They aren't doing that.

So to bypass the clickbait: Gannicus. And he’s correct.

When I learned & taught creative writing, much of importance was placed on making it functional: how to construct stories, how to make coherent, believable characters we can be invested in, etc etc. Very little emphasis was placed on the experience of the reader/listener/viewer outside the words.

They already admitted the strikes on fishermen were a pretext so they could do the same to "enemies" domestically. Fascists see the world as their playground and always bring that violence back home.

Great write-up from Mo Ryan here! (I tend to agree on all points but one, and it’s no killer flaw or anything.) Seriously, go watch House of Ashur, go watch Spartacus generally, but Edie silly go watch Gods of the Arena!

In an incredibly well cast show, Nick Tarabay still manages to stand out as absolutely owning the screen.

I can’t even begin to describe how much the Picard sweater slaps, just absolutely rips on Sir Patrick.

This is entirely depressing, but it’s ever so slightly better than what I first thought when reading the headline. At least the child isn’t named ChatGPT.

Maybe it’s just the year change, but I think it’s that a lot of formerly blocked folks actually do post political cartoons in startlingly high volumes.

But that’s… exactly how it played even without that scene. The change is only meaningful if the literal visual of the building itself matters (it might!) or if being spoon fed is preferable (usually not but sometimes?).

I’m not sure why some writers feel the need to explain the mysteries they’ve created when the mystery is far more engaging than the explanation. Take Boba Fett; FAR more interesting before we got that horribly shitty back story. The allure WAS the mystery.

Not to knock this very fair opinion, but yes indeed nuclear weapons are always a greater danger than community gardens, insofar as one is a clear and present danger while other is the lifeblood of good, better, and best.

So much is said about haters needing to touch grass, and sure, over the top vitriol could be aided by some forest bathing, but so too could over the top but insultingly hollow “love”, and indeed even well-adjusted people could benefit from touching some ass.

I only aspire to annoy. Love to see it! 😚

“Heheh, the devil can’t spell” is such a blue “retvrn” nothingness. “His butt is fat” seriously? His brain doesn’t work and he’s ontologically evil, surrounded by people who aim to do legitimately worse harm than even he can imagine (as noted, brain not work)—I don’t care about covfefe.

Kieth Olberman mocking trump for spelling shoots with one o is just… a perfect encapsulation of the team sports version of politics that needs to end. My dude, he did a typo. He’s done so much worse typos. He’s done so much worse than typos. Come at me for whatever autocorrect does to this post.

So, if I see people post the same exact thing once every few weeks, I’m probably going to block them. Not if it’s art, of course: get it out there, team! If I notice someone posting the same few things every few days, I’m definitely blocking.

So I’ve seen a lot of supposed “centrists” dunking on Mamdani today—a lot of “insult him from the left but peek around the corner and not at all left actually” right wingers out here today. Well, I say dunking, but that would imply they are scoring. Anyways, at least BlueskyGrok isn’t existing.

"the left failed men" arguments are pushed to hide the simple reality that Republicans are the party of male supremacy and it's attractive to a lot of men and boys.

There’s a level at which a highway isn’t responsible for drunk drivers or human trafficking, but there’s also the POSIWID, and this is one outlet of Musk’s intentions, and very much not an accident.

I’m so glad I’ve got a door and windows for frames of reference because the answer isn’t the same depending on that and square footage and other needs. Like my dorm had no choice but sort of true neutral, but specifically because context.

Are there any other ships where the pylons take the power conduits in the longest route possible and also back towards the centerline? This seems completely backwards from (at least federation) trek logic. (There’s that one single-nacelle ship where the pylons form a triangle, right?)

I love Clancy dressing Picard down this way! That being said, MC’s rationale (per the as always great alt text) is shite. Creativity through constraints shape the trek experience. It need not all be the same now, but his logic implies we should get an ep entirely of Tuvok blasting visible diarrhea.

If you asked me if I would rather write, practice, and perform a speech for 800 people in 48 hours or mail a letter I would do the speech every single time. Mailing a letter is ADHD kryptonite. There is a machine up the street where I can get stamps. There is a mail box across the street. IT'S HARD

🤷‍♀️ I’m kind of fine with it. The thing that gets my goat is that it’s not reliably 30 minutes (or any other time). Sometimes it’s 10, sometimes 20. If I could simply plan to be 30 minutes after “start time” like with concerts, that would be fine. But with it being variable, I need to be there… 😭

So far, House of Ashur fucking rules. My only complaint, such as it is, is that it’s not quite fun. I truly dig Nick Tarabay, but so far his character (as the lead) simply isn’t as sparkling in the eye as Dustin Clare’s Gannicus, John Hannah’s Batiatus, or the wild eyes of Manu Bennett’s Crixus.

So, people have told me many many times to watch Babylon 5, and I’ve never gotten around to it, but today I saw a clip, I think the first I’ve ever seen, and it was genuinely terrible, like exactly what people who don’t watch Star Trek think Star Trek is. Is it actually all like that? It can’t be…
