I was always intrigued by this thing because of the commercial for it

Finally saw the Star Trek episode with Landru. Pretty solid episode, I can see why it gets imitated, parodied, and homage'd all the time

I wasn't expecting Ben Stiller to be in it, though

A couple days ago I saw someone on bluesky mention that there was a third party group that was going to continue support updates for Winows 10 for a while, but I couldn't check it at the time. Which is unfortunate because I can check now but can't find it again, heh.

Okay I just saw a commercial for Gremlins cereal where mogwais are called Gremlins and eating the cereal *de-gremlinzes* the hungry children which is the opposite of what eating does to gremlins

Just an absolute shitshow of a commercial, canonically, is my point

I used to get mad when people misused "decimated" to refer to things that weren't 1/10th destroyed, but I've given it some thought and now I've done a complete 360 on it

Best analysis of Tron: Ares I've seen, and its from my comment section.

A comment from Jessie's review of Tron: Ares - "TRON is a movie about unionizing your workplace. TRON: Legacy is movie about the tools of fascism. TRON: Ares is a movie about... how hard it is to be tech billionaire running a Fortune 500 company, I guess."

Every comic cover since has been trying and failing to reach the heights glimpsed by this Carmine Infantino cover for Flash #133 in 1962. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

Flash being turned into a puppet while thinking "I've got the strangest feeling I'm being turned into a PUPPET!". FUN FACT: it is impossible to see this cover and not want to see more

1. A new journal report in the prestigious Medical Journal of Australia eviscerates the Cass review, saying it is filled with fallacies and launders anti-trans disinformation.

It methodically goes through each problem in the review.

Indiana voters: Let your legislators know you don’t like having elections rigged in your state.

Screenshot of a tweet from Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) on X. The tweet reads: ‘Turns out… RIGGING ELECTIONS IS NOT POPULAR. Keep up the pressure. It’s working.’ Below it is an embedded tweet from journalist Adam Wren reporting that Donald Trump’s mid-cycle redistricting push in Indiana is stalling, with Republican officials warning the White House.

When the nazis were coming into power, there was a lag before local law enforcement was fully on board. People were able to get police protection from nazi-aligned paramilitaries. Here, today, police look at rising fascism and say “Finally. We’ve been waiting for this.” www.notus.org/democrats/me...
