Scientists are calling this the most metal shit they’ve ever seen

My grandfather made it home, but his kidneys failed soon after from the sulfa drugs given on Guadalcanal. A wife and 3 daughters left behind. The government never acknowledged it or made it right. But nice to know people who broke into the Capitol and wiped their shit on the walls will get millions.

Remembering those who gave all.

Trying to find the dril Betsy Ross tweet. I couldn’t remember the specifics. Trash website.

LRS: Tech companies have wanted to enclose the Internet since the 90s. In the hardcover The Road Ahead, Bill Gates said the “information superhighway” would be something different. Idea seems to be we’d get narrowed choices, curated by rent seekers. The Internet would only be for a few geeks. (1/)

EXTREME LOL What fuk'n pushback?! Internet adoption was INSTANT, everyone recognized the potential immediately! In the 90s, my father would go to EVERY. SINGLE. WEBSITE. He saw a url for! Didn't matter what it was for! He just wanted to see a website!

A thing about Far Beyond the Stars is that it’s just in there with the other episodes. It’s not a finale or 2-parter or anything. You’re watching your normal space station adventures, this potent thing happens, and the next week is one about the crew getting shrunk. #StarTrek #DeepSpaceNine

I think a lot about how I could have had Harry Dunn as my representative, but instead I got an AIPAC lackey who voted to thank ICE.

when are they going to make a Gunpla kit of the juice robot

I've been posting quite a few of Dave Russell concepts from his time on ST:III - Kirk's home, Spacedock, several klingon, various "New Enterprise" (probably Excelsior) I don't have any information about his time on the production Here's all the images so far over 3 posts Russell Concepts 1/3

You’re probably familiar with View-Masters (which are just a kid-version of the Victorian stereoscope). Transformers of course had View-Master reels, and they’re not very difficult to scan. If you tear a View-Master reel open, it is just film glued to paper, and film scanners are readily available

we’ve got this up to 663 comments! we still need a lot more reskeet, share, comment, help stop this blatant anti-trans discrimination that would hurt those most in need

this is open to every american to comment on, and it only has 220 total comments! if we want to stop this we need a LOT more please share and encourage your cis friends to do the same, we need you!

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

It increasingly seems like Bluesky moderation/admin is simply actively transphobic as a matter of policy. Which, yes, was clear even before they special-cased Jesse Singal's behavior as not harassment or Jay's "WAFFLES LOL" post, but it seems it's really ratcheted up in recent weeks.

so you're telling me a white dude calls for mods to "clean house" of trans people, furries, and leftists he doesn't like, the head moderator of the website likes a bunch of his tweets, and then the next day the moderators begin purging the website of trans people, furries, and leftists? strange!

In the '60s and '70s, one of the biggest producers of drug paraphernalia and trippy blacklight art was the Houston Blacklight & Poster Company. But its history has been nearly lost. I wrote about its influence and the importance of saving artifacts like these: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Happy May Day, ya’ll!

Without downloading anything new, where are you, mentally?

a ballroom has a core strategic weakness: the man in the back saying “everyone attack”

DC has just one Capital Ballroom in my heart, and that’s the dingy warehouse of a 90s goth club where I met my wife.

The 1967 Leaf #StarTrek cards were wacky and hilarious — so join me to celebrate one every day. Today's episode: Spock Box See the entire set collectingtrek.ca/2022/09/21/l... 10/72 #DailyLeafCards

If your bumpers don’t align with those of other cars, your vehicle should be restricted to off-road use only. And while we’re at it, SUV/truck headlights should be at the same height as those on cars.

Friday mood

I can't justify the price I saw these for but that packaging is just BEAUTIFUL

to all who celebrate...

Happy 161st Confederate Surrender Day to you and yours

Election night 2016, ABC had Glenn Beck on their panel. Instead of contributing to the analysis he spent the whole night flop sweating about how he’s a liberal now, honest. It’s all a con.

I do believe there is such a thing as good art and bad art. But I also believe there should be a museum of toy packaging and marketing art so I can stand in front of this Masters of the Universe poster by Earl Norem and talk about its composition like it's The School of Athens

Sure the contraption that got us to the moon was cool but have you seen

The reason that the US President has the exclusive authority to order the use of nuclear weapons is because Truman set up the system along those lines after WWII. This is often depicted as either a power grab, or because in the nuclear age such decisions "must" be made quickly. This is false.

Arby’s Jungle Zoids were a Beast Wars style line from 1996. I’d never heard of them until @adam16bit.bsky.social discovered them last week. I like the stylized beast modes and the bright colors. The Trogdor arms on most of them aren’t good, but they’re charming. #Transformers #BeastWars #Arbys

This is my trans agenda

This is quite something from Singapore's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vivian Balakrishnan, in an interview with Reuters. The end of the post-war order, diagnosed in technocratic language. www.mfa.gov.sg/newsroom/pre...

They’ll visit peaceful utopias, inform them that their God is a lie, and impose the beliefs of the federation on them in every episode. They’ll only choose the parts of the prime directive that suit their cause.

"Hobbylos" is the term, it would seem. I'm glad to have read this.

if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal

I thought this might have been one of those Einstein misquotes, but nope. He really did say it.
