They’re just gleefully announcing war crimes

Actually we should just give citizenship to every undocumented person in the United States who wants it. Walking over an imaginary line isn't some great moral atrocity. Making people live in the shadows as a permanent underclass absolutely IS.

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵

“A stack of books with legs.”

voters elected decadent money man to make them rich, what they've gotten is warmongering fanatic who wants to cut their health care to pay for more bombs

Again - BlueSky was originally Jack Dorsey’s pet project to make a Web3 social media / NFT trading post until a bunch of trans furries got ahold of invite codes and started mass-proliferating them to other trans furries and then suddenly BlueSky was 90% queers and annoying leftists and Jack fled.

- desert holds resource necessary for travel and the mechanisms of imperialism - empire through shenanigans puts a dictator in charge of that place - empire then kills said dictator, putting his considerably more fanatical hardliner son in charge - son cuts off access to resource as revenge

ABC interviewers keep trying to push this stupid national greatness shit on the astronauts and the astronauts are just having none of it. Victor Glover especially keeps emphasizing the oneness of humanity.

“The last night I was a pediatric resident, a child came in with Hib and promptly died by the next day. I didn’t work for 50 years to have everything destroyed by one man.” -Dr. Kathryn Edwards, Vanderbilt University This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.

Saw this tumblr post by @stjohnstarling.bsky.social on here today that I think is good advice.

episode where characters switch bodies is a lost craft

National parts are built off the racist legacy of Muir, indigenous displacement, and paternalistic land management policies. Now they've got the nerve to not even bother with looking after the land they took. Get angry. I am. Every environmental policy was an uphill battle

Iran just reportedly hit an Oracle data center in Dubai and i can't stop thinking about how good it would feel to see my tax dollars spent firing Tomahawk cruise missiles at data centers.

We coulda had a massive battery to siphon Buffalo’s ley energy but no, we had to be good neighbors

learning that astronauts have to use microsoft outlook in space is unspeakably depressing. we have set microsoft outlook free from the bounds of earth. polluting the stars with that janky piece of shit

you, a fool: it's impossible to qualify who has the "best" life, due to the immense complexity of-- me, grabbing the mic: the bear from the bear baiting scene on Game of Thrones demanded frying pans full of whipped cream between every take, and everyone had to applaud him while he ate

“Trump Wants Allies To Grab The Persian Gulf By The Strait. ‘If You’re An Ally The U.S. Will Let You Do It.‘“

Depressing to go from a moon launch to wwiii

Make things to be used, or experienced, or read or seen or whatever. Then maybe sell them. But don’t make things to be sold, ever.

Marc Miller’s T5 - all 3 books of it - costs a little bit less than 2 of the 4 book set that the d&d 5e port of traveller costs on kickstarter. The classic traveller book from 1981ish is less than half the cost of one of the four d&d5e traveller books.

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

Traveller 5e box set

This isn't actually bad since there should not be an imperial coalition fleet bullying a country for controlling adjacent territory in response to aggression. I encourage him to alienate allies over Iran even more for the common good. Plus maybe Iran can economically torture us to decarbonise.

I love this trailer for the manga. I've read the first 3 volumes and it's pretty good!

In 2024 I wrote CUCKOO, a novel about how Americans hate their gay and trans children so much they'd rather kill them than let them exist. Here we are in the middle of another grotesque demonstration of the depth of that hatred.

I spend way too much time thinking about how I would fix star trek, but I keep coming back to how the Federation needs to stop resembling pre-Trump US propaganda about itself and the liberal international order. This is why in-universe critiques in SFA and SNW usually have to fail.

Does anybody else feel like they've seen so much AI slop that it's hard to describe how or why you've clocked something as fake AI bullshit? It's not just number of fingers or uncanny sharpness, it's styles that are repeatedly copied and vomited out with incongruous and soulless composition.

I really loathe how much fandom spaces have been turned into shit by fan adoption of AI. Star Trek fan groups seem to be the worst offenders.

we won’t know peace until the day that the last smartphone is strangled with the entrails of the last venture capitalist and the computer can finally return to its home (the living room, only)

so people do get that this "change in the israeli death penalty policy" is actually just another term for "turning palestinian jails into mass extermination camps," right that's something people understand, right

Trans day of every tabloid shuts the fuck up about us forever. Trans day of let us have our healthcare and leave us the fuck alone. Trans day of tearing down the panopticon. Trans day of let us control the narrative instead of deferring to some cis sexologist's hallucination.

“Oh the game we’re playing is Whitehack, except we’ll add Macchiato Monsters usage die, Hill Cantons life paths, BX initiative, Sharp Swords & Sinister Spells’ opponent rolls, and the optional character classes Brave and Fortunate,” I say. “As God intended,” say the players.

if a leftist says he's anti-zionist because of the war crimes of a sovereign nation the times will suggest he is an anti-semite. if a conservative says that he is "j-pilled" the times will say it's about foreign policy.

I don't know what SCOTUS will do on birthright citizenship case, it's anybody's guess. But if they endorse Trump's diktat, the only response is defiance. Outright, open defiance by the states. A decision not just erroneous but illegitimate, beyond their power, null and void from the day it's issued.

The founding idea of the US was the rejection of treaties preventing the further invasion of Indigenous land.

More pipelines and reducing emissions are incompatible goals. Like fundamentally, that's not how that works.

Kleptothermy? Come on, just call it Heated Rivalry.

What bothers me about this story is that it's digging up an 8 year old quote that predates the Project Hail Mary novel which is basically a star trek episode with plenty of social commentary about desperate attempts to save the climate that have to overcome international and personal cowardice

art gallery: You finish that painting of Frodo and Gollum? Artist: Sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked.

that moment two dancers from the actual WICKED movie (!!) came out and casually busted out the choreo…

Hey CENTCOM how's the war going? CENTCOM: 🆗

The AI thing remains blackly hilarious to me. It’s like if people insisted that we allow ourselves to be changed as we humbly submit to the awe and mystery of pogs

Wicked part 2 is weird. It’s like if karoline leavitt had a torrid romance with a no kings protestor and then jailed and exiled Kristy noem and trump

How I feel reading 99% of art and media critique these days

Me blocking someone.

We can never let Donald Trump think about the Concorde jet. He’ll replace every plane with them. “The incredible Concorde, New York to Boston in fifteen minutes - can you believe it? - they’re saying it’s the fastest plane in the world,” every airport sounds like a drum and bass concert
