Fairy tale of the year IMO Have you heard the record about the dude who makes off with two roast chickens? And movie: A Song Is Born

when I find a great Wikipedia page and follow all the links on it to other great Wikipedia pages that's called "turnin' purples"

A politician didn’t understand a simple/simplified metaphor and yet still uses it. Well. See next skeet.

you guys gotta learn to block things you don't want to see/disagree with rather than blowing up everyone else's feed with your quote tweets and your replies extending these into week long skirmishes

Do I have any mutuals in/near Philadelphia? My mom is there on a trip. We got a crash notification from my her phone on I-95 near the airport and the phone location is still there. We have not been able to reach her. If anyone can help, I’d appreciate it.

Every anarchist in a red county could reg as an R and vote down the worst candidates and ballot measures EVERY election (until a future race is the choice between the bluest Republican and a social Dem). Boycott the General every 4 years

The demoralization op is what makes the Cassandra in me (and in Elvira) suspect a Russian bot

Now that it’s out, I can tell you that I that by page 10 I was screaming at my husband I THINK HE DID IT, I THINK HE FIXED VOYAGER anyway ITS A GOOD BOOK

THE PHOTONIC EFFECT releases tomorrow! To tempt you into preordering, let's deep dive into the initial pitch of "Voyager x DS9 x Mass Effect" and how its influences all shake out on the characters and world. THREAD (And the all-important preorder links!) www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ph...

In general, it’s not that petty has turned into a positive. It’s: 2. This is social media and thus is the ultimate place for any petty concerns to be aired, and 1. The petty person tells their very relatable side of the story, when it otherwise would remain untold

Who is the pettiest captain in Star Trek? We set the criteria. We presented the evidence. We reached a verdict. Some captains were more justified than petty. One captain was the clear winner. We said what we said, y'all. 🖖🏾 🎧 Listen: www.patreon.com/posts/160213...

Please be respectful and remember that Juneteenth is when we gather, remember and celebrate the delayed - but undeniable- freedom of our ancestors: The Enslaved Black Americans whose liberation rang out years after it should’ve. NOT ANY OTHER AGENDA. Respect our ancestors ❤️🖤💚

Thiel lives in what country now?

The quoted post with the Couche Fouqière in chief quoted just proves Vance was always the [pejorative] little b* we always thought he was. Not an un-dangerous stupidity but here we are.

Imagine how confusing Darmok ep of TNG was to such people

Yet to see any right-winger with the slightest grasp of metaphor IMO

My take is that I don't have takes. I'm not a very convincing debater, so I accept some of these ideologies and proceed from there relativistically. Then my mind centers on practicalities. Just keep in mind that rhetoric is not dead.

Let's stick a year on this. 1963?

Hi (no) new followers! My name is Becky with the good hair, so christened on that other website when I was chastened, “Stay out of this, Becky” and took the seat offered. Short for Rebecca.

And hot baked potato bar is the centerpiece at my birthday party every year and I just need to underscore that it's easily the best idea I've ever had, you can feed a CROWD, easy and cheap

The supplement one directly destroys how they fund most of their propaganda online.

Robert Evans of Behind the Bastards suggested that the way to break the GOP's back was: 1. Crackdown on MLMs 2. Regulation of supplements 3. Legalizing direct sale of vehicles Regardless of what it does to the GOP, these all sound great to me.

Just the supplements bit makes me splutter about how shameful this is for Rs

I feel it’s sort of underrated the extent to which a Dem Congress and/or states could (1) absolutely destroy car dealerships as a business, and (2) this would cripple a lot of GOP state and local parties

i have been obsessed with this for years. allowing manufacturers to sell direct to consumers would be good for consumers and also destroying the car dealership would be an existential crisis for republicans

Obsessed with this 1735 illustration of hammerhead sharks from Japan

Shadowrun (1989)

Been to the cable co office in a major city to arrange cheap internet. Waiting room like that of an anger management specialist. BUT the actual in person service person cut me a deal so I didn’t fall through the cracks. But others justifiably mad about overcharging, not being able to get their shows

The great Mexican-Korean unification of 2026 during the World Cup will bring an era of food so delicious it will bring world peace.

Insert opening sequence to Office Space (1999)

When my home town with no freeway through the city permanently closed a street to vehicle traffic to create a pedestrian zone, anyone lost who ended up trying to drive up the street could only be said to be trying to “swim” to the street. Tourist town!

Bike scale town planning and flat land in the Netherlands too!🧡

I don’t have my orange stuff anymore but going to the bar to watch the men’s World Cup games in Holland was pretty excellent. And that was the fair-weather fans vs this crowd who BOUGHT A PLANE TICKET to Trumperica to attend. People take The Beautiful Game pretty seriously.

This and how Holland cheers against Germany after 75 years

I heard somewhere someone accidentally scrapped the runabout conference room set So we never saw it again after that episode

Deuterium in the front, antimatter in the back

The “Han Shot First” for me today

I have an important bird fact to share. Yesterday I was hiking and heard a baby bald eagle… or so I thought. Turns out that bald eagles actually make a chirping noise so the red-tailed hawk is the eagle’s voice actor! All this time. Everyone quietly lies and subs in the hawk. Everyone in the US!

Yup, they're called "ecofash" in a lot of circles, and often turn out to be full fash. A fair number of these people are also woo peddling dipshits/anti-agronomy/etc. etc. etc.

Published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Peer-reviewed. Large sample size. Sound methodology. An antiviral pill has, for the FIRST time, been shown to PREVENT COVID-19 in individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Ensitrelvir blocks the enzyme coronaviruses need to make new copies of themselves.

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

Had to reread this because my brain wrote “footballers”

I forgot I put Cassandra in my joke name there. Whew! 🌋🌊🌪️🦖☄️☢️

It is this day that I added “Cassandra” to my middle names.
