I grew up hearing stories from my father about how folks abducted by Franco’s secret police would routinely “escape” to the roof of police HQ and “commit suicide.” The obviousness of the lie was itself an intimidation tactic.

The twist was spoiled by the thumbnail, but you gotta hand it to the Sontarans, when they swing, they swing big. They got that dawg in 'em. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYMs...

Happy birthday to the MAGNIFICENT #TomBaker

It sometimes feels like episodes of Classic Dr. Who are padded to hell and back, but The Happiness Patrol was far too short for everything it was trying to do. The wrap-up is first class though: youtu.be/qdN90wgSdL4?...

As someone who hated yellow school busses in 2385, letterman jackets in 3177 have me laughing like John Trent in The Mouth of Madness.

Since his socialist ideology was written out of the history books.. In his own words: "If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell." Happy MLK Day.

I'm sorry. Maybe I'm a quitter, but if The TARDIS lost power, I would just lie down and die. These eps really have banger first acts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTgE...

"Invasion of the Dinosaurs" has every hallmark of a phoned-in, of its time episode of Dr. Who, but it's about a conspiracy and social engineering and society. The dinosaurs are pretty bad, but the episode is good: www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1vu...

Thinking of making a Letterboxd account so I can post the same comment on every stupid, chud action movie: "woke garbage. <villain> is clearly stronger than <hero>, but hero wins because they got lucky in the final fight."

another benefit of using signal before you need it is though messages are encrypted they can still tell when someone started using it or if they're using it. having normalized usage before many people in a region join at the same time in theory makes harder to infer usage is part of a recent pattern

When the racist meme becomes national policy

I don't know anything about Maria Machado, so I assume by default she is trying to position herself to shake off Maduro's rule and do what's best for Venezuela by leading it. Also: LOL. LMAO.

Today, it’s not your vote that determines whether the government brutalizes you or sends officers to your door. It’s your neighbors’ vote. If you’re ok with this happening to Minnesotans, don’t get comfortable. You won’t be exempt for long. In the end, a lawless administration comes for everyone.

Which response: 1) William Shatner would be awful and he doesn't care. 2) The greatest endorsement of this show is its detractors. 3) What is "this person sounds smart until they're talking in your area of expertise," but it's "they sounded like a racist shitbag, but they're VERY dumb too?"

It's proper for citizens to be very disturbed and disheartened when the secret police is abducting people off the street and the president is threatening to shut down elections

Yes, the same way a conservative chud "interrogates the values" of a Sociology 101 class. It doesn't get them, but disagrees.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

It's cool not knowing which of three (four?) countries "The President of Peace" is going to bomb next.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

This is NOT symbolic. If Dems adopt this position as a caucus, ICE get reined in. Full stop. Not after Trump, not after the midterms - NOW. Call your Dem rep and senators and tell them to back this play today.

Hey y'all ACA subsidies are NOT saved, the Senate still needs to vote on the latest version of the bill; just want to note that the House vote happened at 5:13p and the Senate adjourned at 4:29p. The Senate vote I see some people referencing regards a prior bill. Please do call your senator!

Borderlands 4 is okay. Better than I expected, but then my expectations were low. Better than 2, but I didn't like 2. This might be a Fallout 4 thing all over again, where I liked it because it wasn't 3.

Just made it for the flavor text.

Trump is clearly not well. At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.
