Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

TZN: I have got another reader question here, that touches a different subject. Did you know that there is speculation about Garak's sexuality?
Robinson: Oh, yeah. I started it.
screenshot two: a series of stills of andy robinson being interviewed during rhe DS9 documentary. ira steven behr asks andy,, “what did garak think of bashir?” andy answers, “at first he just wanted to have sex with him, that’s absolutely clear.”
screenshot three:
"... then the next thing that happened was when I walked on set to do the very first scene with Sid [Alexander Siddig, aka Bashir], I saw Sid, and he was one of the most beautiful young men I have ever seen in my life, and I thought 'wait a second... wait a second... I wanna fuck this guy, this is what this is about. Yaknow, forget about the spy shit, I have no idea what that means. That's no action, you can't play that, but I can play if I wanna get... I wanna fuck somebody, I know how to play that. [...) And then Sid, God bless him, cuz the moment I put my hand on his shoulder and I... he felt it, and he picked it right up."

Whew, this conclusion from the Fourth Circuit:
"We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos."

I tried to simplify it to my kid like this: you buy something at the store for $50. Then Trump says that store stole $50 from you so he's going to tax the store $25. Store now charges $75.

hey folks - listen in and help beef up those numbers! Booker is currently reading emails from laid off government employees and he’s pretty verklempt, now so am i
Cory Booker is still going - currently 23,000 people watching on youtube. Another way to think about this is that it takes more than 15 hours (and counting) to talk about all the disgusting crap this administration is doing.
