US watching a movie where a vigilante’s entire family is wiped out: “Oh yeah, time for fucking vengeance, this dude will never stop. Get them!” US watching Iran pick a Supreme Leader who just had his entire family wiped out: “This guy is plainly going to be reasonable and fold.”

Yes, I'm religious. I believe in the Holy Trinity.

I've dealt with this type as organizer for @chicagowhomeetup.bsky.social for a *long* time... and I usually say, "If you don't like it, there's the door. Don't let it hit you on the way out." Because that toxicity isn't warranted - or welcome - in any community, much less #DoctorWho

Well, this is quite the excellent Big Finish trailer. Obviously an hour of Dalek/Cybermen voices and nowt but in your ears would be tiring, but the trailer is great. https://youtu.be/jdGE8cS2Nz4?si=FqYOl7SpEDrPgncx

So, I'm in a bind. My most expensive med isn't covered the same with this BS coverage I had to get when Aetna got out of the market place. I've got a refill that's gonna cost me $1100 for ONE MONTH's worth. So throwing the GFM back out with an updated goal. FML y'all. gofund.me/e11f1e176

But the one thing it does do well is code *touches earpiece* I’m getting an update …

This is the *worst* Groucho Marx cosplay I've ever seen.

Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

Funny thing - many a reactionary screams out "words matter" ... I suppose, selectively.

Today's NYT bad take moment of zen

This is how I access Bluesky.

After a (thankfully) low-key birthday weekend, it's back to work. Luckily, I've achieved most of today's goals, so the rest of the day will be low-key. I'm grateful for that.

#Chicago renters face conditions like mold, pests, & lead hazards. Current reactive city inspections lead to delays, worsening situations, & landlord retaliation. Please sign the petition to support a working group towards a proactive rental inspection ordinance. www.change.org/p/chicago-re...

I'm so tired of the myth that suffering makes for better art. Suffering is just suffering. Sometimes you get art out of that because artists were born to create. We create whenever we can. It's a need. Sometimes you just get pain that goes nowhere.

Here's another reason to *not* vote for Newsom if he runs in 2028... the back end isn't about "protecting the children" as much as "scoop up even more data and defy your privacy further".

As much as this story has been walked back because it was "suggested" by AI-generated results... Seriously, Microsoft, stop it...or we'll keep using the word "Microslop" until you comply.

I now have two #Linux #Thinkpads - a T480s that runs Linux Mint and is completely portable, and a T420 running MX Linux that will serve as my writing-only laptop. Just call me Gordon "Two Thinkpads" D, people

That's a "No No No No No HELL No", if you're asking.

Although my original post-birthday plans went askew, this discovery makes it worth it. (Note - "Special Edition" means "we fixed some of the animation, and we're making it available in the US rather than a UK-only DVD and Blu-Ray") #DoctorWho www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXT_...

Thank you for the great birthday present, SH! P.S. Yes, yesterday was my birthday and you didn't know. You get bonus points . P.P.S. I'm with you - WHERE'S OUR MEGARA BOXED SET, BIG FINISH?

Yo! Central Florida! You lucky bastards better get over there. #jealous

How I arrived on Bluesky

Drop something RED 👠🍒🖤🍷🚘

Today's motivational moment. (I know *I* needed to read this)

If you take public transportation to work in-person, wear a mask on the train/bus, and wash your hands when you get to the office. You don't even have to care about other people! Just tell yourself you're washing off strangers' measles and poop- whatever you need to do.

Me, every time I take a break from reading the news to try to escape with a book or comic.

Should I send them my resume and headshot?

FUN FACT: he's wearing that disguise to enable him to purchase stuff from Walgreens.

How I arrived on Bluesky

Bad news: I have to work for my birthday on Friday. Better news: I'm seriously considering holding a Saturday celebration. Unsure if it will be solo or with friends. (I'm in a "meh" mood this year)

I can guarantee... absolutely, positively, no "Space Babies"

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

Star Trek is a very serious sci-fi show about exploring space and the human condition. Also Star Trek: "Lower Decks! Lower Decks!"
