Signs of a healthy, functioning democracy - a weak, subservient Congress, an authoritarian President, his agents on the streets attacking citizens, and a governor asking his National Guard to be on standby to protect his fellow citizens from aforementioned agents. Just like the Founders envisioned

The murdered woman's glove compartment is filled with stuffed animals.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

Don’t mind me, I just decided to make Dungeness crab Arancini with a white wine risotto base. I was fortunate to find whole cooked crab, but cracking these things open and separating all the meat out is a real bitch. 😂🦀 Oh, our kitchen smells fishy now. Huh. Anyways. Happy New Year’s Eve 🥂

The calm before the storm ⛈️

This series is moving sooooo slow and sooooo predictably ☹️

this looks like something I invented with my LEGO bricks when I was like 4 😂 (They literally took the concept for the DDG(X) guided missile destroyer, slapped on cool looking futuristic guns that the navy doesn't even have, and a buch of "pew pew!" noises 🙄

so tempted...

Trump-class battleship? As I said in my original post, I guarantee that these ships will never see the light of day. This is just something to appeal to his ego and give him something to doodle with his crayons. 🖍️ 😂😂😂 www.nytimes.com/live/2025/12...

Trump planning to annouce a new "battleship" today has me so full of laughs. A $5B a hull boondoggle that will never be built. The ultimate vanity project. The Navy today can barely keep up with maintenance of the current fleet and is behind on building existing, proven designs. This ain't happening

I am working with a game modder on a private commission, but I need someone on Bluesky with knowledge and skills in this regards to vet something I am being asked to justify a price increase. I haven't worked with this modder before, so anyone that can help me validate their asks in appreciated!

Now that the comic has been out a few weeks, I just love the fact that an old MC80A and some T-70 X-wings were enough to scare the shit out of a First Order captain and force him and his Resurgent-class Star Destroyer to retreat rather than fight it out. 💪🏼

TROS had the almost impossible job of wrapping up the Sequel Trilogy and the Skywalker Saga in a way that satisfied fans of all stripes. I choose to judge each film individually, none of which are perfect and all of which are taken far too seriously by fans. TROS made me smile & was fun. ✨🫶🏼

There is one. last. chance. for this series to use Ackbar and the New Republic navy, arriving to help save Nagi would be perfect 👌🏼 Mon Mothma has NOT be portrayed to my liking in this series, so having her actually do something vs. act all panicky or pensive and send in the calvary would kick ass

Neal, JJ, and Nien, all in awe of Ackbar and his moist charisma 💦

I truly believe that this administration is starting to crumble. In addition, the movement that put it into office is also fracturing. They're heartless, but also brainless. The beating that they'll take in the 2026 midterms will only be the begining.

TFA was the very first (and subsequently, only time) I stood in a line all day to ensure I got good seats for the group I was attending with. It was a rainy, blustery day in Capitola, CA. I had never been one to stand in lines to see a film opening night, but I did for this. It is a magical memory.

ok, hear me out. Let the British torch the place again

Orion and the night sky over Capitola and the Central Coast✨

If that’s not Bastilla inspecting the remnants of a Sith interdictor like Karath’s Leviathan, I’ll eat my fav Ackbar figure

Good morning to the MC80A Echo of Hope @ethansacks.bsky.social

I can't believe Columbia didn't respond to my 500 emails pleading with them to release an Admiral Ackbar themed line of clothing.

My most-used words in 2025 were: 1. "star" (88×) 2. "ships" (73×) 3. "republic" (66×) 4. "fleet" (55×) 5. "wars" (49×) See which words you used the most here: anisota.net/harvest

Caileen, walking into the house tonight: 🤨 Me: I can explain…

Make it so.

Without saying Lord of the Rings, name a fantasy film.

LEGO Enterprise-D ordered and confirmed! 🖖 #makeitso

Are you weird, or do you also shout “The shield is down! Commence attack on the Death Star’s main reactor!” when your neighbor finally moves the car they parked in front of your house that blocks your spot for bringing out the trash cans? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not surprised at all. The Constellation-class was supposed to be afforable and have 85% commonality with the EU's FREMM frigate. Now? Less than 20% commonality, $1.5B overbudget, and the first ship is still years away. news.usni.org/2025/11/25/n...

I mean... where else can I find fish admirals and pickle ships? 🤷🏼‍♂️

The only ranking that matters, tbh 1. MC80B 2. MC80A 3. MC75 4. MC140 5. MC80 6. MC95 7. MC85 8. MC90 9. MC80 wingless 10. MC95E

I've always had a soft spot for kitbash ships. The Cheyenne-class and New Orleans-class from BOBW in TNG remain my favs. We barely see their broken hulls at Wolf 359, but I love that there was still care and effort put into the models before they were "wrecked" for filming the scene.

The GOAT of sourcebooks. 🐐

you know, I've looked at this shot like a billion times, but it still makes me smile every time. 😊

What is the ugliest Starfleet ship of the 24th century and why is it the Steamrunner-class? In this essay I

Me: I should really be focused on finishing the annual performance appraisals for my team Also me: The CR90 corvette model in Star Wars: Squadrons has additional turrets and weapons pods, showing that the NRDF was attempting to upgun existing ships post-Endor

It is criminal that we don't have backstory on the funky D-wing starfighter yet. It is so fucking odd and I love it.

Shot a pheasant, cleaned a pheasant, and cooked a pheasant with bacon, potatoes, parsnips, herbs, butter, and white wine 🤤 Farm to table? 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

I just love these beautiful ladies.

Kinda torn on the current Star Wars comic series at Marvel. On one hand, the place in the timeline (early NR-era), the involvement of the Nagai, the Fenril Consortium, and an attempt to mix legacy and new characters has been really great. OTOH, the pace of the story feels rushed. Great art though.

meanwhile, over at Fox News, the biggest news stories are getting front page coverage. Including the only scandal on the nation's mind (checks notes)... the, umm, "Shorts Scandal"

Found this tiny G.I. Joe MOBAT and Grunt on eBay, naturally I bought them when I was bored on a Teams call 😂🤷🏻‍♂️
