It's that time of the year again

While talking to Silicon Valley about Jesus, Peter Thiel drew parallels to Acts 17 when the Apostle Paul went to Athens. Here's a rough summary: As Jesus said: 'care not for your waste, throw it on the ground and rivers in heaps, then burn them and don't worry about the smoke. Also, make money.'

Peter Thiel is an ultra-poweful guy who says to be careful of ultra-poweful people. But not him. Because.

The new twist on Supergirl (Gunn) works. Supergirl never was "her own character". She started as a placeholder for copyrights, always in the shadow of the other guy. She's never really had a voice of her own, maybe she never will. "Truth. Justice. Whatever." is a perfect tagline.

Si les sondages étaient honnêtes, avec tous les partis politiques au Québec de débandade, le total des intentions de vote ne ferait pas 100%. Le gain du PQ n'est rien d'autre qu'un rejet de CAQ, PLQ et QS. #polqc

#hottake Most 'weaponized incompetence' in couples is really just the other party weaponizing 'they won't do it my way so I have to do it'.

Trump with Palestine and Israel: Don't. (But they don't don't) Trump with Ukraine and Russia: Make Ukraine Russia Again, but slowly. Nobel Peace Prize my ass.

Just played trivia where the answer to the question "Which former mayor of New York was knighted by the Queen in 2002?" The obvious answer was Rudy Giuliani. It's interesting how in 20 years he changed from "America's Mayor" to being a major player in "America's nightmare".

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

When you're so worried about people finding out about your relationship with Jeffrey Epstein that you tear down part of a historical building.

www.cnn.com/2025/10/23/p... Absolutely incredible that Ontario, not Canada, brought up an ad featuring the grand daddy of all American conservatives, Ronald Reagan, that the Reagan Foundation cries foul at using a "free for use" excerpt, and that Trump calls it fake. This is madness.

While we're in the domain of fantasy, here are hypothetical reactions to similar hypothetical protests Biden: Folks, I get it. I hear the complaints. Here's how we can move forward. Obama: Your voices... haven't fallen on deaf ears. We hear you... let's cooperate to make things better for everyone.

Finally, finally, finally saw the new Superman movie. I'm glad that DC finally realized that embracing the campy side of superheroes works just as well, if not better, than the dark, broody style of the previous DCU movies. I'm also glad they added some less-than-perfect, non A-listers heroes.

If I was to criticize Picard seasons 1 through 3, this would be my main problem: The characters didn't evolve, they just changed. Picard isn't rigid, he's in constant awe. Riker isn't cool under pressure, he's angry and bitter. Geordi isn't a cool nerd, he's authoritarian.

Evangelicals : We're being oppressed for our beliefs! Real oppression:

Evangelicals: I can't wait for the end of times! Bring it, I'm ready, I fear nothing! Also evangelicals: Oh no, it's Halloween again! 😱

The latest shooting has MAGA blaming the left for what MAGA does and keeps doing.

I wonder if Jeffrey Epstein ever took #Tylenol...

So, anti-vaxx is over now, right? #tylenol

So, media should just stop reporting anything?

One way the slow walk in Four-and-a-Half Vulcans scene could have been improved: replace the music with Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin. #StarTrek

@holodeckfour.bsky.social Hi! I finally found THE episode (I think) where Riker is making THAT face. You know, the one in your banner. It would be "Booby Trap". And besides the name of the episode itself, the reason for THAT face is totally wholesome: he's just happy to see Picard happy. ☺️

Live reaction to Robert Beltran sanitizing Charlie Kirk's life.

Spoiler-ish Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season 3 reviews thread! #StarTrek #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds

So here's something absolutely unsettling and right smack in the middle of the uncanny valley: the ChatGPT voices. It's trying so hard to sound human with audible breathing, fillers (hmm, ah, erm, etc), laughing, hesitations, etc. Give me Majel Barret please!

Charlie Kirk souls have followed his friend Donald Trump's lead and done his pro-gun speeches from behind bulletproof glass. #charliekirk

I think we should honor Charlie Kirk's faith by putting a thoughtful Bible quote on his epitaph. I'm thinking Matthew 26:52: "All who take the sword will perish by the sword." #charliekirk

As it has before, and as it will do forever, the inevitable race to politicize deaths has led to some really ridiculous accusations that only serve to display what people are really thinking. #charliekirk #tylerrobinson

Charlie Kirk got shot? Time to roll out the old "thoughts and prayers" mantra. Hits different, doesn't it, MAGA?

Nobel Peace Prize hopeful my ass

Doctor I trust more than RFK Jr (look closely, it's not the regular EMH)

In TNG episode "Booby Traps", Geordi infamously recreates Dr Leah Brahms on the holodeck to have someone to talk to in order to solve a specific problem. The Holodeck does a thorough job based on available information and makes the hologram respond plausibly to Geordi's romantic advances.

MCU: Let's embrace the campiness of our characters. DCEU: Needs to be realistic and dark. M: Let's make a few characters goofy. D: Darker! M: Dial back goofiness a tad, raise the stakes. D: I said DARKER! M: And... Dark. D: Oh shi... Ok, reboot, let's embrace the campiness of our characters.

The whole Putin-Trump meetup to discuss the end of the invasion and genocide in Ukraine, without Zelensky, might have a single goal: make an unacceptable proposal to Zelensky then paint him as unreasonable.

The war on Christmas is a fake moral panic. Meanwhile, the war on science is very real. And the environment is just collateral damage.

Le plus loin où je suis allé: N: Reykjavik, Islande S: Fort-de-France, Martinique O: Vancouver, B.C. E: Édimbourg, Écosse

I didn't see it at first but here's the breakdown: Normally, it's a plain white door. The gold trimming was added around the frame and golden decoration was glued on the door. At the top of the door, we can see that the decisive piece is actually too large for what it is glued to.

Hello. I'm the warp drive on Star Trek. I can get the crew from point A to point B in space in an amount of time equal to what the plot needs. It can be hours or years. Just never, ever, ever do the math. Trust me. #StarTrek

Hey, America. Are you winning yet? Are you great again now?

👀

Again with the #tariffs and the fake fentanyl moral panic. If US Customs was as tough on looking for fentanyl as they are for Kinder Eggs, this wouldn't be an issue. But it's not an issue. It's a scapegoat. But go ahead, secure your damn border.

0 deals in 90+ days. What an absolute farce.

How to trigger MAGA with over this: Beta economy 0D chess Donald Jobless Trump Comatose Don Make America Poorer Than Ever

It's simple. If it was bad, it was Obama. If it was good, it was not Obama.

Deflection, deflection, deflection

Carney never ceases to disappoint. We're way, way, way past the "who started this phase", even if it's an important question. We're in the "stop the genocide urgently, right now" phase. And it's a tour de force (pun intended) to make Macron look good but here we are.
