Middle-aged enby. Planting a flag before Xitter hits the fan.
My favorite part about this was that Twitter didn't do anything. They just left her there. She wanted a big moment of getting arrested, and instead eventually had to unlock her own cuffs and fuck off.
Handcuffed herself to one side of a double door on the Twitter building iirc
repeating “the lady who handcuffed herself to the twitter building has veto power over national security personnel” to myself over and over and slowly going insane

Ultimately, Facebook survives because it positioned itself as the primary resource for personal networking-- both finding people and keeping in contact with them.
I have friends who dropped Facebook and now I've no way to get hold of them, because we never bothered to exchange phone or email. 1/?

Facebook is where everyone I knew before 2005 hangs out
How do more people use Facebook? WTF??

I miss when I was a kid and watching V and thinking "Oh, come on, nobody would believe that scientists are in a conspiracy."

@straczynski.bsky.social Hi Mr Stracynski.
I said this to you a while ago but with recent events I feel it's once again important to state that I really loved Bablyon 5. But I much preferred it when it was conspiratorial and paranoid not prescient to the point of wondering if you had a time machine

"The mansion in the background" is a townhouse apartment, and it's probably got the square footage of a double wide. And not for nothing but after nine years he's still looking at her like he won the damn lottery.

If one my faves is on the list, then they go up against the wall with everyone else. This isn't complicated.
"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

For a while I was double-fisting Bluesky and Xitter, but my Xitter feed has slowly become full of garbage in which I am not interested and devoid of anything else, and I pretty much only open the site now if I'm reading a specific xeet.

So I just had to look up what a Passport Bro is, and I gotta say, "I identify myself as someone who can't date locally" is a choice. I get how that kind of goon might see it as a good idea, but to make it their identity?

I wouldn't give it the attention. I have yet to see a single thing to tell me that the whole franchise is just "we can now legally pee on it, so we're gonna." And watching you suffer holds no appeal to me, even if sometimes seems like God enjoys it.
I wonder if I could livestream myself watching the awful Popeye horror movies

I think the thing I love most about Milholland's turn on Popeye is that, while fans of S*P can see his fingerprints all over it, it's not really a shift from the insanity Popeye has been up to for the last ~90 years, and some of the wildest turns have actually been pulled out of the ass of CANON.

I keep reading "they think he fired one shot from a rooftop" and no suspect description which suggests that nobody actually saw the shooter.
Perhaps I've missed something, but if that's the case... at this point the shooter is only going to get caught if they do something tremendously stupid.

I, like many people, have a sneaking suspicion I could do everyone in law enforcement’s job better than they could, but I have also worked security at large conventions and know how people can vanish into a crowd.
There’s a reason the Unabomber lasted for years.

Fantasy as a genre is kind of stale and games and books aught to get weirder with their fantasy, conversely scifi can be more fantastical without going full star wars

There are going to be people who will call the people who have been calling, mailing, etc, "hysterical" (again!!!) because the cuts haven't hit yet. The ghouls are banking on this.
Keep in mind that the cuts to Medicaid don’t go into effect until late 2026 conveniently after the midterm elections. Do not be fooled. Vote these ghouls out. Show up and VOTE in the midterms.
