It is astonishing how when a client is charged with something, the arresting officer miraculously had no bodycam footage, but in the post-acquittal lawsuit, suddenly they had it all this time 🙃

im so sick of being lectured about what "sane people" and "adults" think i should do. i was an insane teenager and i still had more moral clarity than anyone in fucking congress
"We" are the sane, thoughtful, logical people who know what will happen if we react like teenagers to the provocations.

In season 2 of #StarTrekTOS, there were only 4 episodes in which no food or drink (not even coffee) were seen. May your 2026 never be devoid of new exotic (colourful cubes!) or comfort food to enjoy. Happy new year to everyone! :-)

the thing where decades of policy choices have made it so that it is mostly impossible to travel in this country without operating a deadly machine and now the government is using that as a priori evidence of murderous intent demanding deadly force in response is haunting me a little ngl

i know this ship sailed a really long time ago but i'd love to revisit the idea that federal law enforcement can deploy a chemical weapon against peaceful citizens because they're in the way
ICE agents stopped by protesters after the shooting an observer in Minneapolis, according to witnesse. ICE deployed pepper spray and tear gas.

It’s really sentimental, but Babylon 5’s “Sleeping in the Light” was a tremendous ending
Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

So in partial defense of ol’ Blaise is that part of the…honestly Pascal’s wager is more of a bit than it is an argument. Anyway he’s saying the life of the faithful Christian is not actually a worse life than an unfaithful one. You might agree or disagree but that’s the bit.

this store is 18+ and they’re strict as hell about it. none of this has ever been about “protecting children,” it’s about trying to force trans people to disappear
After a boutique on South Street received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for selling breast binders for gender-affirming care, the region’s transgender community worries about the potential wider impacts.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.
