going through wikipedia's List of Proxy Wars hoping to figure out what season 7 of Blowback will be about

Question for my Trek nerds out there. Is Carol Freeman the only main captain shown on screen with a living, present, not-killed-off spouse? Pike has Batel who got spoilered, and weren't married anyway. There's the bit at the start of the kelvin timeline movie but that's too short to count.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

This is important context from Julie K. Brown. With alt text.

".... Mr President, what do you call an act like that?" "It's actually a brilliant name, everyone says, they tell me 'sir we love the name, just love it', but we call it the Aristocrats."

at least for today theres nothing more i want from life than to have someone attend the white house press briefing and ask "Can the white house confirm that President Trump has performed fellatio on former President Bill Clinton?"

Classic NY Times: powerless underage victim is actually the scheming perp; much-older member of the US Congress is actually a passive victim

I hate it when a shitpost I make immediately becomes relevant.

mandatory corporate training suggestion: how to hold a microphone properly when your boss surprises you with a department presentation. Loosely holding it at your waist pointing vaguely upwards is a regular difficulty it seems.

Really wild how all these Harvard scientists and mathematics guys constantly talked about how Jeffrey Epstein was this brilliant, "misunderstood" man and then you read his emails and he's clearly a barely literate lecher, extremely easy to understand

Not exactly a bombshell here but I guess I’m convinced now that Epstein was killed to protect Trump

wife and i have been watching Game of Wool, like bake off for knitting. we are in agreement that one of the challenges should be "knit a sweater in 12 hours. we will be releasing a dozen kittens into the room while you do so."

hearing reports out of Japan that Tatsuya Nakadai has passed away at 92. RIP to a legit legend.

"How likely are you to recommend this urgent care location?" Yeah bro, yeah, for real, it's awesome, go do like I did and fuck your hand up with a hedge trimmer you gotta check this place out.

I hope Kim Davis has the life she deserves.

Let’s check in with people who threatened to leave Zohran Mamdani’s NYC: defector.com/lets-check-i...

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

rest assured, schumer and jeffries are working around the clock to come up with a plan for squandering this opportunity

A moment of silence, please, for the "young men are all MAGA now" narrative. (Source: www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...)

so we never have to hear from andrew cuomo again right right?

to anyone thats surprised at CNN doing the rehabilitating Cheney obit, keep in mind that hos bullshit got them AMAZING ratings. of course theyre gonna softball it. they were as culpable in it as anyone

ok sure. you hate andrew cuomo because he’s an unlikable slimy creepazoid with an adversarial relationship to the people he would govern…..but what if i told you a bunch of other slimy creeps with identical worldviews said to vote for him. does that change your mind

now begins again the adventure of "which time zone will the cats demand the morning feeding on"

i've said many times the main thing that youtube recommendations needs is a word filter. second place is an option for "mark as watched", because even shit i've seen in the past few days with the full little red bar under it, it likes to needlessly recommend for weeks at a time.

its just awesome getting a straight-to-voicemail 3 second hangup call for me to manually delete every day. at least those don't ring, though, I do appreciate that part. the ones that *do* ring, and still say 'telemarketer' or don't have caller ID, like what are you doing AT&T. thats an easy filter.

woke up this morning feeling a completely inexplicable amount of gender euphoria. no fucking clue what set it off. was just supposed to be a normal day wfh but i needed to go throw earrings and lip gloss on. body just decided its a good day to be a girl i guess. been feeling sparkly all day.

Fifty plus one rule ownership.

i should be able to click a button at the beginning of a sports season that says “i’m normal” and i don’t get served any ads for crypto or gambling

"The agent asked 'what the hell do you call an act like that?' and the sapient dog cock said 'we call it The Aristocrats!' This was a tale that my grandmother used to tell me after Sunday school. I believe this is an important aspect of why I'd be a good fit for the position of Senior Architect."

was at a home decor place with my spouse. In their 'art' section they have prints where someone will put sort of faux brushstrokes with clear silicon over the top of it to make it feel a little more 'real'. doesn't work when you put brushstrokes on Seurat's Le Grande Jatte, dumbass.

New: hackers just doxed hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ officials. I went through the data. In many cases does look legitimate, sometimes includes residential addresses. “Mexican Cartels hmu [hit me up] we dropping all the doxes wheres my 1m [1 million].” www.404media.co/hackers-dox-...

this isnt new or surprising but i spend a lot of time thinking about how the entire purpose of the internet from about 2005 onwards is to throw as much advertising and data collection and annoyance and pain in the ass between a user and *anything* that might be of value to that user.

AAAAAAAAH NAKED PEOPLE ARE TERRIFYING. FORGET THE MASKED PEOPLE WITH GUNS KIDNAPPING PEOPLE OFF THE STREET, PHYSICALLY ASSAULTING PEOPLE, & TRAFFICKING THEM OUT OF THE COUNTRY, I'M SCARED OF A BUNCH OF BARE BUTTS.

it has been my personal belief for a decade+ that the Harry Potter series was ghostwritten, based mostly on her incessant need to 'correct' things via tweets that could have just been written in, and all of her post-Potter books being so bad as to be unspoken-of.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

driving home today. big fire on the other side of the interstate, many emergency vehicles. on my side, there was no obstruction from the event. But there was a lady that had pulled her cadillac over to the side, half-blocking a lane, so she could get video over the top of the divider

A win? Neat. Can't be roller derby tough if you're a terf.
