Hey. Did anyone here attend the International Star Trek Convention in Washington, DC, January 1-4, 1976, or know one of its organizers?

I can recommend streamer.bot for people looking for something as powerful as Sammi. On the surface it looks more complicated because it doesn't have the tile interface, but it generally has the same, if not better, functionality

Blue Labour was always a grift by those who thought that the Conservative Party was going to collapse so they played "moderate". Now we have a conservative government in all but name, and Blue Labour getting ready to switch to Reform.
Fresh from advising Morgan McSweeney last week, Labour peer Maurice Glasman addressed the annual conference of a pro-Reform group that has spread myths about the Covid vaccine and has claimed Starmer is "destroying Britain".

Massive sell off on tech stocks going on, coincidentally Nvidia release their earnings report this evening after the markets close. I'm sure no one with insider knowledge is doing anything wrong.

This will inevitably be reported by the UK and US Press as "Ireland jails man for refusing to use pronouns" when he was jailed for breaching a court order to stay away from school grounds after harassing the school, it's staff and students.
The High Court has ordered that secondary school teacher Enoch Burke should be imprisoned immediately for clear, deliberate and persistent contempt of a High Court order directing him to stay away from Wilson's Hospital School

a brown one, not a panda
she took the maramalade from his case
and sent him to Rwanda.

Today I am struck by a thought. What a tough job being the Warmup Comedian for the studio audience of Big Bang Theory must have been.

Reminder that this is a man who worked on 128 episodes of a very popular TV series, and he's got to sell off all of his shit just to afford cancer treatment.

SO, HOW IS THE AVERAGE PERSON SUPPOSED TO?

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's democratic socialist views spark fears companies and capital will flee, but top real estate CEOs say it's not true.

I'm fine with Death Threats, non-serious or serious, being a clear bright line that causes a 72 Hour Timeout. *IF* that is a blanket no-exception rule, including people who encourage others to do so, anyone who is 'just kidding', and includes "Notable public figures". 72 Hour Timeout for all of it.

Yup. My personal tolerance levels are absolutely couched in my being a cis straight white dude with immense amounts of privilege. It's easier for me to brush off stuff than it is for other people.
Just gotta say as a trans person who gets death threats couched as "jokes", I'm glad that the rules are being applied this way. When mods are left to make subjective decisions about who is joking and who isn't, threats against marginalized ppl go unmoderated and we are told they dont violate the TOS

I live in England, and have an English accent. I also have an Irish passport. And it was fucking rough growing up here in the 80s and 90s.
Back in the 70s and 80s, explaining my Irish heritage got roughly 1/3 incoherent confusion, 1/3 'oh that doesn't count, you're the same as us'*, and 1/3 'sod off back to Paddyland then'. I wonder what current responses will be.
* tell that to the Guildford Four, Maguire Seven, Birmingham Six.

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Starting to suspect that Nvidia's revenue pumping circular sales might have catastrophically backfired, because they are dependent on the DRAM suppliers to produce all that equipment pumped into the merry-go-round. And now those DRAM suppliers are soaking Nvidia with a price rise shock.

At the Texas Book Festival I was asked what would happen if all 8 billion people on the planet were replaced by clones of me, and I noted that meant there would be 8 billion people who couldn't do math but could generate snarky quips, which meant we would all be dead of sarcasm in under two weeks.

Not a whole lot of people have watched my newest video, but I've gotten some extremely encouraging words from other video essay folks, and I am incredibly happy with that. Hell, all of the feedback I've gotten has been resoundingly positive, and I can't thank everyone enough for that. I did good.
Hey folks, my new video is out now, a review of the 2024 horror game Still Wakes The Deep, set aboard a Scottish oilrig. I'm really proud of this one, and I think it might be my best video yet! Please give it a look, and let me know what you think.

Vance. It's Vance. He just doesn't make enough of an impression for me to remember his name over the last guy.
As more stuff comes out in the Epstein documents, and there are more public incidences of Trump's failing health, I think Pence is going to be sounding out cabinet members for a removal vote, if he hasn't started already.
