My friends call me Kate (pronouns: She/Her), and I'm a lifelong Trekkie and Star Wars fan. I enjoy movies, TV, and comic books, and I also write fanfiction. I'd be posting more fandom stuff if the world wasn't going to heck.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

I worked in a Philadelphia Applebee's and I can tell you this: Black people tip as well as anyone. It's teens and college-age people who don't tip great. because they're usually broke.
I hadn't heard this shit until now and finding out Platner was all in on "black people don't tip" makes way too much sense. And it's a huge red flag for anyone who works in hospitality because it's not true. Everyone who's worked behind the stick knows who undertips and it's not the black community

douglas adams was our most accurate futurist
We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

something we don't talk about is how gullible the current ruling class is to chinese propaganda. these guys are cucks and morons who bought into state-created lies about han chinese ethnicity
We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.
There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.
Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

The Epstein files are exposing one of the greatest lies of my lifetime: Republicans are tougher on crime/criminals.
Trump exposed the other one: Republicans are better for the economy.

This is nuts. Famous and prestigious program. So toxic that it’s now a conservative goal to gut the humanities and universities generally while shoving AI everywhere
Devastated to learn that Univ of Texas at Austin is closing the American Studies dept. The years I spent there earning my PhD were formative, making me the teacher, thinker, and writer I am today. I've passed on what I learned at UT to thousands of students over the past 20 years. Just awful.

You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????

this scene gives me chills each time I watch it. Casablanca was a contemporary film: it was set in 1941 and released in 1942. They were celebrating neighbors and compatriots across the globe. It'd be like releasing a film next year about what's happening in Minnesota
