Anyway I spend a lot of time here talking about the immense harms being done by the US government & about why we should have healthcare & basic income & public transit & education. I wish those were things the govt wanted to do. Also, I'm glad when they support some amazing things in science & space

The problems with US government spending priorities are vast and extremely depressing/enraging much of the time. I desperately wish much more was spent on improving people's lives directly, and much less on war. Science spending just isn't really part of that particular equation.

It's frequently pointed out that NASA activities (and basic/exploratory science in general) have a fantastic return on investment, contributing far more to the economy than they take. But even if they didn't, no one's actually taking from the "cure sick people" pot to put money in the "rockets" pot.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

#transdayofvisibility Being nonbinary trans masc of gender & a Femme Dyke in a world that tries to wash the politics out the word Queer and erase historical Lesbian identities is not easy, but at the same time being myself is the easiest thing in the world! Trans, always have been, always will be.

my favorite thing about this hellboy sequence is it works no matter which order you put the panels in. while i was making this i had to go back and check what the original was several times

Would like to remind everyone of the best sequence of panels of all time

Being a powerful, wealthy person "unwilling" to speak the truth publicly and going further to actively lie is pretty much the definition of "not a good person."

A while back @lincodega.com "Nothing could be possibly be sadder than driving very fast and slightly left", so when @carrion-comfort.com and @plusoneexp.bsky.social pitched me F-Infinity for Orbital Blues Month I was over the moon, already driving a spaceship in my mind

Still figuring out what’s next. But I will say: To any candidate who wants help setting up a new style of campaign, who needs advice on integrating mutual aid in their operations, who has questions about any weird, fun, unconventional part of our race, I would love to talk. Let me know.

Curse of Strahd was published ten years ago, and I6: Ravenloft thirty-three years before that. Why is this classic adventure so influential, and why does it endure?

BREAKING: Workers at CBS are walking out. The unionized team that works CBS' streaming service are going on a 24 hour strike in New York and San Francisco. The walkout comes after negotiations with CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss reportedly imploded.

I stand by my assertion that Sinners on Broadway would do looooooong-run numbers. A fixture, a steady on the street, like Book of Mormon, Hamilton, Chicago

Michael B. Jordan wins Best Actor in a Leading Role for Sinners #Oscars

A big takeaway this year has to be that Sinners and One Battle After Another were big, artist driven, swings bankrolled by WB whose future is ultimately unclear. I like living in a world where people like PTA and Ryan Coogler get to make the films they want to make with those resources.

Thinking of Fred Rogers on the anniversary of his death. “Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like ‘struggle.’ To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here & now - & to go on caring even through times that may bring us pain.”

To create a durable affordability agenda, Democrats must embrace widespread anger at corporate power.

Part of why I am insistent that public libraries must be expanded is because they can offer us a foundation for unleashing creativity and for nurturing imagination. This is an affirmative project at a time when we desperately need to be FOR things and not just against them.

Fascism is here and yet we insist on continuing to make things. Keep creating. It's so important. Do not let the fascists colonize your imagination or curtail your creativity.
