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.

Let me translate from Fox Male Small Dick to English: Pete Hegseth admitted to blowing human beings into pieces who posed no threat. Yes, that’s what our cut-rate, frat-rat, dumb-bro Christian Nationalist masquerading as a serious person did.

It’s not our job to toughen our children up to face a cruel and heartless world.

It’s our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless.

Scientists and politicians say they are losing the information war to oil and gas companies that want to downplay the role of fossil fuels in heating the planet.

“Social media platforms, podcasts and other forms of media regularly amplify climate misinformation.”
Of course climate denial is also deeply misogynistic.

>Climate skeptics present their position as “projecting rationality, authority, and masculine self-control” while those who acknowledge global warming “are depicted through emotionally charged, feminized, and irrational imagery…”<

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.

Using the borg to keep your spirits up is a novel, but brilliant approach!

Can we get @jerilryan.bsky.social's eyes on this?

Hope the surgery goes well - resistance (to hope) is futile!

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.

Holy freaking CRAP, dude! This is AMAZING!

In the interest of full disclosure....I am NOT a Yes fan....but for the people who ARE....this is FANTASTIC art, lovingly handcrafted by a man who genuinely LOVES this band, and it shows!

And if you're worried about AI....don't. It's 100% handcrafted art.
I'm thrilled to announce the Mercury Studios reissue of Yes Symphonic Live! The packaging includes my newly reimagined sleeve art, based on the illustrations I created for the original 2002 release and featuring the classic Roger Dean Yes logo. Pre-order now! store.mercurystudios.co/collections/...

Check in on your friends and family, and don't leave to tomorrow what you can do today.

Life is both beautiful and extremely hard for a lot of people. Maybe, just maybe, a gentle reminder that none of us are alone could make all of the difference xx

Be kind to yourselves, we're deserve it :) xx

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!

Why the FUCK does this demented fucking harpy still enjoy employment at Sirius Radio, and why should she EVER be allowed to exist in ANY kind of society EVER again, after this?
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.

The world is an increasingly dark place for a lot of people right now. I know that kindness won't change everything, but it can help someone get through today, or even tomorrow.

That includes yourself. Be kind to yourself as well - you do deserve it, even when the weight of the world is on you xx
