It's a Wicked night! Seeing the show with my daughter!

Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute.

it’s cool how every newspaper is now like “hehe bribery isn’t real when the king says so”

New from @byjustinmiller.bsky.social: Even as the lege debated school vouchers, corporate vendors were already competing behind the scenes for the lucrative contract. A closer look at how Odyssey became the big winner... and whose influence helped make the decision.

What Doctor Who story - and James Bond film - did Terrance Dicks borrow from for the last of his Mounties trilogy? Another great long post here: 0tralala.blogspot.com/2025/11/war-...

THEN YOU PURCHASE THEM AND DO NOT USE THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS

This, I say as a long-time student of history and economics who holds an MBA, is correct:

The seeds are being planted to rig the midterms. It’s becoming more explicit. (Also note the gratuitous shot at the NBA, aka Black athletes who oppose him)

Just finished rereading Dragonlance: Dragons of Winter Night. The second book in the first trilogy - Chronicles. It's been 25 years or more since I read it. I remembered so much? Still a fun, good adventure book!! Good plot, great characters! Looking forward to Spring Dawning! #Dragonlance

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Trump has told staff not to post photos of the demolition from the Treasury Department building. Photos like this one. (Possibly taken before the edict was disseminated.)

Give this a try! You might want to swing through a few back episodes- they're so fun! And a few more. And then subscribe and read the whole run! (I may have just done this!)

An amateur satellite tracker stumbled across the signal which is coming from Starshield satellites in a "hidden" part of the radio spectrum. n.pr/3WGaS8X

Son's football team is up. The score is 6-7. Six seven. I may ☠️

Argentina. Qatar. Trump is selling out America, piece by piece. Where did America First go?

This is Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron and considered to be the first person to write a computer programme which was for Babbage's Analytical Machine. She died in 1842 In her honour, today is Ada Lovelace Day and is all about encouraging women and girls in mathematics, science and engineering.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

It's October!! Huzzah! Bring on my kids birthday! Bring on Halloween! And good grief please bring oncold weather that kills mosquitoes!!!!

Rewatching #StrangerThings for like the billionth time (okay for season 1 maybe the 8th) and Benny is the best- the owner of the burger joint who first helps Eleven. He rocks!

Can the Trump administration use the government shutdown to justify additional layoffs of federal workers? Send up the Bednar signal! @nicholasbednar.bsky.social explains in Lawfare: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/redu...

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

Tylenol. Sure. Kimmel. Yes But ICE and the Epstein Files Don't focus solely on distractions

On September 21, 1937, J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit was first published. This timeless adventure introduced Middle-earth to the world and laid the foundation for The Lord of the Rings. 📚

Pro tip to Laura Loomer who deleted this: The Internet is written in indelible ink.

To all those attending the US Open, you know what to do. Boo loudly, record footage, and share it EVERYWHERE.

Oh Nothing… Just Republican Voters deciding to Make Kidnapping Great Again.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Your last saved pic is your moral philosophy.

The single most important thing to understand about digital futurism is this: When the digital future that Sam Altman ( or Elon, or Andreessen, etc) predicts fails to materialize, he doesn’t have to give the money back.

Ahoy there! It's my birthday! Celebrate!

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

Behold the coming of my birthday!! Tremble before me and offer tribute!!! That's how we do it here on Bluesky, right?

So ridiculous. (And so familiar)

Rewatching X-Men 97 with my boy. I still question the wisdom of frying beignets in a crop top. I mean one spatter...ouch! Thoughts @ajlocascio.bsky.social?

The girl's learning to drive. The boy's checking out his helmet and pads. What is even going on??!?

i wanna try something. quote this post if you’re a man who hates the manosphere

literally any billionaire has the power to stop this

Never forget and never forgive the people who voted for this, and did this to us. When this is all over, and they want to "move past it", don't let them. Make them own this for the rest of their (hopefully) miserable lives.

The budget bill steers tens of billions in tax breaks and policy favors to oil & gas, weakens clean-energy support, & is estimated to cost the public ~$80 billion over the next decade, from @ucs.org We're subsidizing polluters to poison us. zurl.co/hBJCD

Akiva Goldsman is asking fans to write to Paramount & Skydance asking them to greenlight a “Star Trek: Year One” series: trekmovie.com/2025/07/27/s... Is =that= how this works? OK. Please write to them asking for a STAR TREK: VANGUARD series. Let’s do it, Treklit fans. Make my dream come to life.
