One other thing, from @steveshives.bsky.social , and this is a thing that I've been confused about for the last 30 years, and he explains it WAY better than I could ever hope to....
What do conservatives like about Star Trek?
I'll let him explain. He's good at it.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut Education and Science Research the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Of course climate denial is also deeply misogynistic.

So, on a mad whim, I decided to listen to "Point of Entry" by Judas Priest....and then I remembered why I never listen to this album.
"Desert Plains" and "Solar Angels" are absolute bangers, and "Heading Out to the Highway" is decent enough, but the rest of the album? Oof.

Hi mox, new to community with truly weird ask. Husband has big cancer surgery coming up. Comes with permanent attached tech. Also, recently got pacemaker. He's getting thru it with Borg jokes. Anyone know Jeri Ryan? I want a get well card so much. Other thoughts happily accepted. Thanks!

MAGA elites are trying to uncouple MAGA from Trump, which is hopeless. Trumpism was never about ideological consistency; it was about using any means necessary to install a strongman ruler who would fight a culture war. To hurt those people they felt hurt them. There is no greater project.

So, I've been playing Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles on my Switch....and I've also been watching Enterprise....and I find that these two activities go AMAZINGLY well together!
Turns out that it's REALLY easy to grind levels and jobs whilst watching an aggressively mediocre show!

The fact that Megyn Kelly minimized raping 15 year olds and wasn't immediately canceled from every platform, including @siriusxmprog.bsky.social and YouTube, tells you EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing media and this country in general.
