Let TikTok die. Kill it, if you have to. (you don't have to, it's new owners are going to do that so fast. All that money just down the drain, lol.) There will always be a new app.

Whenever some mid-low audience internet person makes a crazy statement (virgin robots for example), they're just seeking attention. Don't give it to them. When it's someone in power, recognize the manipulation, file it away as evidence, and don't engage. Attention is power, and it's yours to give

Shocker. My very progressive circle and bubble responded with "Really? They're trolling with eugenics dogwhistles? This is stupid but we have real problems so whatever." Meanwhile the Outrage Machine™ went full ham until it wasn't useful anymore, as usual.

All of humanity deserves peace. Every single one of us. It is not transactional. It is not contingent on any action or state of being. It is a simple, fundemental truth.

I didn't expect a Military Junta to happen at this meeting, but the probability couldn't have been 0%, right? A few of those guys had to have tactfully hinted at it with their trusted comrades.

Luke putting R2 in an enormous bag of rice on Dagobah.

Was hoping my TV was finally dead... Strange in these times of planned obsolescence and it is having issues (they're just tolerable). Because I just want an upgrade. BUT it was the much newer surround sound reciever and it just needed a hard reset for who knows why. First world problems.

People criticize The Mandalorian as "Jon and Dave playing with action figures". So? That's awesome. Action figures are fun. Mando: Western, Fun. Ahsoka: Fantasy, world buildy. Andor: Political Thriller, Prestige. We're having our cake and eating it too and some of you killjoys are out here bitchin

Warhammer is Precious Moments for people who hate God

It's the spookiest time of the year.

The Dems need to start drafting a new Admendment to the Constitution specifically laying out the powers and limitations of the President. And the Dem PotUS nominee needs to campaign on promoting it. Put all the traditionally respected limitations in writing. #nokings No gods, no masters.

I know we have many more actually important things to devote our energies to but: Renew The Acolyte.

Grape Nuts (holding me back): Whoa whoa whoa, hey man, just let it go! This asshole isn't worth it!

The best part of ST: Generations is that it's essentially a big TNG episode with a TOS movie for a prologue. There's barely any character development and not much of a sub-plot other than Data's emotion chip (which Spiner plays excellently). Kinda refreshing compared to modern Trek complexity.

They've lost the 9yos

I appreciate Governor Newsome's words on Colbert, though I disagree with his platforming of Far Right pundits. But Revolution requires problematic allies. I need him to stop throwing the Trans community under the bus. All the complaints have been debunked time and again. Protect the dolls.

Kimmel's monolog is just so embarrassing for the administration and Sinclair. He returns in the form he's been in for years: Earnest, heartfelt, and open. Taking his jabs but not crossing any boundaries held by reasonable people. The right wing temper tantrum is so performative and pathetic.

We are going to win.

House Foods Tofu is $2.70 in LA. It was $1 for a decade, then $1.25 for 5 years... And now due to the absolute destruction of protectionist trade policies it more than doubled in less than a year. Ridiculous.

Listen to Pete.

It is the year 2025. Lilith Fair artists Sarah McLachlan and Jewel are boycotting a Lilith Fair documentary over Disney’s decision to sideline Man Show host Jimmy Kimmel for comments he made criticizing coverage of a dead white supremacist. Explain THAT to 1997 you 😵‍💫

Caught up on Foundation. Loved how well it rolls hard on Theme. Not sure how I feel about certain twists... Loved seeing The Gilded Age's Blake Riston play a robot worshipping cult leader who lives in an underground mushroom farm. Very curious about season 4. No time jump? Actors? Hari Seldon?

Square Enix has announced a brand-new Chrono Trigger piano arrangement album set for release this November in Japan. Chrono Trigger Piano Soundscape Arrangement album features 12 tracks with a focus on character themes: www.rpgsite.net/news/18469-c...

Glad to see that my fellow crew are getting paid.

Disney+ cancelation page is back up and running. I love Star Wars. It's my favorite fictional thing. And while there are thousands of good people who work very hard to make great storytelling at Lucasfilm, if Disney leadership is just going to bend the knee? They can't have my money.

Sent a pigeon through the tube at the bank. Boy were they surprised

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead When the skies of November turn gloomy

If civil war breaks out, meet me at the library. They don’t know where it is.

Disney was never gonna “learn” from Andor. They just wanted some old Star Wars fans’ dollars and new to Star Wars progressive people’s dollars. That’s all that happened. Dan Gilroy et. al. are good artists; Andor is good art. Disney, owner of ABC, is a bad conglomorate. Two things are true.

Huh wow turns out the people who wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs never cared about free speech, they just wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs

What will we do when the world it is ending And time it is halted for friend and for foe? Try to hold on to the time as it passes I'll tend to the flame, you can worship the ashes

I didn't need Andor to be more relevant.

This deep sea coral species has officially been named by a team of researchers & an expert from the University of Hawai’i after Chewbacca for its furry resemblance to the beloved Star Wars character 👏

D is absolutely insane, it's got almost everything. But G is right on its heals because Latin food is a force.

Double vaxxed up on a Tuesday. Big thanks to the Golden State for caring for it's citizens and ignoring the absolute insanity coming from the Federal Government. Do your part for public health. Civic duty is active and true patriotism. #covid #flu

I know I already posted about ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE today but it’s just such a perfect book to be rereading right now — Saenz just knows how to cut us deep.

are you trying to tell me this battery had an entire life

Chopper was a paid actor here. Where's his guild card?! #starwars #hamilton

Oh... It might only be a few days... Wow.

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

This is neither here nor there, but unless it's on a ship it's "half staff".

I moved to NYC to pursue a dream a few years after 9/11. A coworker said, "I could never move there, what it it happens again?" My brash 22 year old self responded with, "That's letting terrorist win." That coworker never talked to me again. I could have been more tactful, but I still agree.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

No better time to post Hunter S. Thompson on 9/12/2001. www.espn.com/espn/page2/s...

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

It’s funny seeing all the right wing talking heads try and condemn violence, only to be reposted with screenshots of their own calls to violence. Your ethos means nothing if your praxis contradicts it.

Maybe the most insane thing about all of this, is that no one is going to be talking about it in 2-3 weeks.
