star trek and famous art: a thread

Write something. Write it today. Write your heart out. Write something weird that only you would think of. Your enemies will not topple to your silence. Write your future and live it.

"[You] create art solely for yourself in order to discover what you are. Your art places you in the world... By sucking up the world, you become full of potential and powerful with art. But at some point... you have to turn around and pour it back into the world as an act of service." —Nick Cave

Honestly kind of fitting that this level of catty public breakup between two aging divas is happening during pride month

This is going to get even bitchier than when George Michael beefed with Elton John.

Twatageddon has finally collapsed into the Cuntocalypse.

But women are too emotional to lead…

I am never going to die

I never thought I would be so entertained by two men publicly breaking up during pride month.

Boycott the shit out of this crap and shame the fuck out of anyone who participates Let it be a costly blunder to fund bigots

I’ve been thinking a lot about how much I used to love just wondering about things when I was younger. And how the wondering is almost always more invigorating and fun than the knowing. The difficulty is the point, again, always.

We've got the numbers. #HandsOff

every person online who thinks the tariffs are a good idea are people who are trying to figure out how to take their first step as a huamn being

No notes needed. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

Billionaires love natural disasters. When people are gone, they can buy up all the land and industry for a monopoly. It’s not random to decimate FEMA and NOAA.

these terminations are good evidence that this is just wanton destruction by deranged ideologues. there is no rhyme or reason other than whatever makes sense to a bunch of zoomer nazis and their bosses and enablers

If you're looking for details for your calls, House Dems produced this tool where you can how many people in your district are at risk of losing jobs, health care, and food on the table from the House GOP budget. "For the sake of the X people in CA-54 who will lose their Medicaid, please vote no."

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

let this be your era of "I will not cooperate with your fascist nonsense unless you literally make me"

Remaining calm in situations that encourage you to be outraged and fearful is also a form of resistance.

Something to remember is that the Techbro billionaire class were rarely the actual tech pioneers. They're the ones who bankrolled it, or engineered a controlling share interest. They're just Railway Robber Barons 2.0. It's why they're crap at actual tech. Their 'skill' was money, timing or theft.

Hahahahaha! Oh cats...

you can win capitalism but can it be defeated how

all art is made from spite or horniness, and a computer cannot be spiteful or horny, so a computer should never make art

I have many friends who were federal employees: SEC, DOJ, DOS, & FDA. They are each humble, honest, hardworking people, most professionals who could have doubled+ their salaries in the private sector. They love their country & the people they served. This crime in process tortures me.

“Will pay any amount” as long as it’s not a carbon tax aimed at reducing greenhouse gases and preventing such tragedies.

somebody in my neighborhood of tiny little prewar homes bought a cybertruck. I've seen it drive by almost every day for a week. my very offline neighbor had mentioned he thought it "looked neat" but when I told him it costs $100,000 he got so visibly annoyed he ripped off his winter hat

I’ve never seen such a LOVE FEST of a show than this season of The Voice, omg
