The trifecta!
"A progressive U.S. Senate candidate in Maine, who has already apologized for earlier misogynistic and racially insensitive remarks and said he did not realize that a tattoo on his chest resembled a Nazi SS emblem, is again under scrutiny, this time for anti-LGBTQ+ comments."

On its birthday, share one image from your favourite #TNG episode
"The Measure of a Man." Picard and Data sit in the ad hoc courtroom, looking at Commander Maddox. Picard's expression is contemplative, Data's blank (naturally). We can't see Maddox's face.

Panel 1: Jake (Andy Samberg) looking through the window of a car. Caption: I love Dragon Quest Panel 2: Jess (Zooey Deschanel) sitting at the wheel of that car with a skeptical look on her face.

Reminds me of a bit from Pratchett:
“It's amazing how good governments are, given their track records in almost every other field, at hushing up things like alien encounters. One reason may be that the aliens themselves are too embarrassed to talk about it. It's not known why most of the space-going races of the universe want to undertake rummaging in Earthling underwear as a prelude to formal contact. But representatives of several hundred races have taken to hanging out, unsuspected by one another, in rural corners of the planet and, as a result of this, keep on abducting other would-be abductees. Some have been in fact abducted while waiting to carry out an abduction on a couple of aliens trying to abduct the aliens who were, as a result of misunderstood instructions, trying to form cattle into circles and mutilate crops. The planet Earth is now banned to all alien races until they can compare notes and find out how many, if any, real humans they have actually got. It is gloomily suspected that there is only one - who is big, hairy, and has very large feet. The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head.”

A scene from MST3K. Crow and Mike observe Tom, decked out in 1970s splendor, as he sings his tribute to the years 70AD - 79AD.

Men don’t dress like this, and that’s the real issue.
Dean Stockwell as Al from Quantum Leap. He's wearing a bright goldenrod suit (with matching gold shoes), a brown trenchcoat, and a tie that defies description. He's got a cigar in his mouth and is leaning against the side of a house with big hanging shutters.

I have no artistic training or experience, but nevertheless, behold my EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL RENDITION of both the title and inciting incident of my currently #amquerying novel, The Wizard's Corpse!
A crude stick figure rendition of a woman standing next to a prone man in a wizard's hat with a blade of some kind sticking through his stickbody. She is saying "Oh no!" There are lines in the air all around them, helpfully labeled as "rain".

Every so often Tom Brevoort says something like this in his newsletter and I lose my fucking mind.
"I generally don't want to do projects with the sole purpose of straightening out some bit of continuity that I don't care for, I don't think that the audience as a whole is very into such stories."
