LEGO posted this cute video for the launch of their first official #StarTrek set today #LEGO

GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH

I WANT MY TAX MONEY PAYING FOR KIDS TO EAT LOBSTER AND STEAK AND COOKIES, NOT PAYING TO BOMB PALESTINIAN AND SUDANESE KIDS AND INVADING VENEZUELA.

Change one letter. Ruin a candy. Bitterfinger.

The high school production of The Farnsworth Invention I saw tonight asked an important question: is it ethical to expose teenagers to the works of Aaron Sorkin? (Also, I was thinking about @worstpossible.world the whole time.)

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

Of course American fascism is just consumerist slop.

✌️

I realize that the College Board is also Problematic, making this more of a Godzilla vs. Kong situation, but I feel like "You can't use AI on your AP tests" might be persuasive to some people.

Yeah, AI can make photorealistic pornography of any celebrity, living or dead, but can it make a Halloween-themed Michael McDonald parody music video? I don't think so. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go1j...

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles. More on how the tone of Portland's protests has shifted: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Portland isn't burning, it's lit

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Yes, but is the Temporary Restraining Order vegan and locally sourced?

if you’re a visual learner i made you some maps of where the people quoted in this article as supporting portland being occupied by troops live

I believe a Mariners World Series victory could take us off the dark timeline that the 2016 Cubs put us on.

VeggieTales isn't perfect, but "God made you special and loves you very much" is so much kinder and more welcoming than other Evangelical Christian media of the 90s-00s.

Somebody find out if the Unipiper knows "Ashokan Farewell."

This week's @worstpossible.world is the best episode ever. Whit who? This is a BAR RESCUE podcast now.

I'm more of a Civil War guy, but the fact that all of the war otakus have plenty to talk about right now is... not good!

I watched this a couple nights ago and loved every second. It has the exact right balance of irreverence and sincere wonder. (With gorgeous bird footage to boot.)

When the government can silence one artist, it threatens freedom for all. #picard #startrek

"proposition" like, say, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal? that proposition?

While Governor Newsom may be taking hairstyle tips from Captain Pike, he appears not to know that Starfleet is one word. "SAD!!!"

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

a good litmus test for democrats would be to ask if they would support melting down every confederate army statue tomorrow

Do we think Gavin Newsom is a Dapper Dan man? Or more of a Fop fellow?

I'll say it a thousand times -- any account of the past that only celebrates the good parts of a nation without reckoning with the bad is not what we call "history" It is propaganda, pure and simple.

Oh yeah, GPT-5 has PhD-level intelligence? Well, can it do THIS?! *cries like a baby while revising a single sentence then watches YouTube and anxiety naps for 7 hours*

ChatGPT is spitting out mostly meaningless fluff that kind of sounds like polished copy to someone who’s not a skilled writer or editor. I admit that’s enough to get by in a lot of email jobs, but I don’t believe you when you say ChatGPT is good at writing.

Truly, the Plagiarism and Necromancy Machine is the greatest invention of our time.

The human brain can definitely find meaning in something written by AI, just like it can find the face of Jesus in a Dorito.

I don't get the idea that education should be about training students to use AI. What's there to train? Isn't it designed to be easy? This strikes me like being trained to use the microwave. There's probably a couple tips and tricks, but something to center your education around? No way.

"ChatGPT is great for brainstorming!" Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

If I ever run for any elected office, my very first campaign promise is "I WILL NOT GOLF."

Last month I was teaching a summer school course and one of my students UberEats'd two dozen Krispy Kreme donuts. Walked out of the room like he was headed to the restroom and returned with two giant boxes. That's teaching in 2025, I guess. 🍩

in case you were wondering, this is what's going on at the other website. if you buy ingredients and prepare them at home, you're apparently a "grocerybro"

Students do not want this. Students would immediately try to get the chatbot to cuss or say "skibidi" or whatever the meme of the day is. (At least mine would.)

I reject this pointless debate. We should all be drinking Diet Coke (sweetened with delicious aspartame) like the Lord intended.

A Night of Shrimp and Sarcasm is my new romantasy novel.

For the sake of comparison, 9% of Americans approve of the Black Plague.

Thousands sing "This Land is Your Land" during a 'No Kings' protest in Napa, CA.

Republicans: WE NOMINATE SKELETOR Democrats: We dislike Skeletor but we will vote to confirm him. Please give us between 5 and 50 dollars. <Later> Democrats: I stand before you to condemn the actions of Skeletor. He should have never been given this power. Please give me between 5 and 50 dollars.
