The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

"You're not resisting correctly unless you are willing to destroy your entire life and risk your family's safety" isn't good faith. You don't get to volunteer other people for jeopardy.

But "I can't resist because I cannot be even mildly inconvenienced as that is akin to oppression" isn't good faith either. We can't meme or vote our way out of fascism.

memoir is the hardest genre for me to enjoy because some of you haven’t had enough therapy to write about this yet and some of you have had too much

We finished recording #XTreksPod for @nydproductions.bsky.social yesterday so I’m celebrating by watching the X-Files from episode one.

I like a lot of her movies and I’m sure she was like mostly fine as a person but this was a HUGE miss and a black stain on her legacy.

Don’t forget her starring role in “woody Allen is my friend so I believe him” and “victim culture” is to blame and “you gotta get over it!”

I LOVE Tron but I will not be spending money to see a Jared Leto movie. Studios need to stop putting him in movies!

‘Tron: Ares’ grossed $14.3M in the film’s domestic opening day

That’s less than ‘Morbius’
