There’s no such thing as artillery and never has been, it’s just machines to hide the existence of battle wizards

It sometimes freaks me out when I think about the fact that the universe existed for billions of years before I was even born. So much time of non existence… so much non existence to come. My life truly is just a strange extremely brief moment where the universe pretends to be me.

Rapture this, rapture that Check out this big Daddy I painted :)

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

I've been told Democrats are the hysterical ones.

everything is gamergate except gamergate which is dreyfus

He was an advocate of violence against his political opponents and took positions like “the civil rights act should be repealed,” “the Jews are replacing white people,” and “Ukraine is an evil country and we should let them die.” Kirk’s entire career played a nontrivial role in getting us here.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

I would like to take this opportunity to remember Melissa Hortman, a serving Democratic politician assasinated by a right-winger.

The Father of American Cavalry was a flamboyant Polish intersex nobleman

Immigrants are a social good, anti-immigrant propaganda is basically all lies, and any approach to the "problem" that doesn't start form those two points is worthless

im a big tent guy but the point of that tent is to keep the nazis out

D9 "Pocket Battleships", 2261. Designed in the late 2250s, the D9 was a failed attempt by the Imperial Navy to create a independent raider capable of outgunning Starfleet capital ships. It would later find a role as a supporting vessel in the battle line alongside the B1, B2 and B10 battleships.

the complete embrace of nihilism and the rejection of being genuine is the greatest danger to humanity right now

A good look at the new Tomy Klingon D7 prototype model, which includes a tiny Klingon shuttle designed by Matthew Cushman (based on Matt Jefferies' work) that fits in a hangar space on the back. They seem like really nicely thought out collectibles. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB4Y...

Gavin Newsom is a genuinely bad person and any admiration you have for him needs to be directed toward actually good people like JB Pritzker or Andy Beshear.

#SIGNALIS [ ] Report to Gestalt Scout Officer

He defended the Federation-Cardassian treaty is what he did. He was a brave Starfleet peacekeeper. And in this house, Commander Benjamin Sisko is a hero. End of Story.

I'm waiting!

This is the cost of the Senate filibuster: the last time the House, Senate and POTUS were all under D control (2020 - 2022) the House passed bills to eliminate gerrymandering and give DC statehood. The Senate did nothing on either in spite of having majority support. And so here we are.

this dc situation looks pretty horrible. i wish i had more to say except that autocracy is always mundane and petty and vicious and encourages you to look away and be safe. and you can live quite normally under it until you're a direct target

The Library of Congress got caught quietly altering its online display of the Constitution, removing Sections 9 and 10 of Article I. Trump's least favorite sections which guarantees the right to challenge unlawful detention and requires the government to justify confinement.

Lwaxana Troi. Ceremonial gong after each wing was finished. Embarrassing Odo, Picard, and Deanna stories. Somehow has (formerly) classified Dominion war diplomatic corps stories to share for the first time. Simply refuses to finish the wings if they are too hot, moving onto the next one.

One of my favorite drawings lowkey and @explodinghye.bsky.social did such a good job with the typesetting

We are in the midst of such a wide ranging constitutional crisis, easily the most serious since the Civil War. and most of our political leadership has not come even close to catching up to it.

You have at least some hope of making a majority of the population smarter than rocks but there is no getting rid of dumb authoritarians once they are in power except through violent upheaval. To quote my favorite fictional character of all time:

this is a description of Showa Japan

I am against robot Hitler and think the decision to create him was bad.

A consistent popularist must support abolishing ICE

we're living through one of the greatest technological revolutions in the history of mankind and it's not AI

people are often surprised by how low-tech the global sin monitoring system looks, but that’s because like a critical infrastructure system it prioritizes reliability with durable proven technologies above all else.

All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.

one thing that isn't mentioned here is that Clearview AI has been providing neo-Nazi groups with free Clearview AI accounts since the company was founded

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
