My book, The Hidden Thaumaturge, is about overcoming galactic oppression that’s been ongoing for 3,000 years! Sometimes, overcoming authoritarianism takes a long time, but don’t give up hope!

Who had “shockingly attractive, sensitive, soft-spoken Klingon is the emotional heart of a Star Trek show” on their 2026 bingo card? Certainly not me.

flashback to me pointing out the ultimate irony of visual effects getting so good that our successes are used as evidence that "CGI sucks"
![just an absolutely perfect example of how the success of plausibility and believability of modern digital effects is used by bozos as evidence that "CGI sucks"
[the suit in the "Iron Man" (2008) shot they're referring to is computer graphics]
Referring to a bozo post that has a shot from IRON MAN “causal reminder that this armor was a real prop and is incredibly convincing and it is over 14 years old*”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hyx4bt54zwklitosbhlqo5wq/bafkreiafqdltugl4ih5onwfelqdo6ilwncc5s6jwv3secipnoruqadqswe@jpeg)

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

While I can’t find any evidence that ReedPop supports DHS/ICE directly, it’s true that their parent company RELX has contracts with them and shares data with DHS to aid ICE operations. It sucks that every company seems to be owned by evil megacorporations now.

I couldnt stop thinking about this. Reading, going through notes and put together a rough timeline that would explain that spread of symptoms and the long and short of it is they shot this man so full of antipsychotic medication no one could ever justify and it made his body poison itself to death.
ICE detained a healthy man with no history of serious illness and by the time he was deported to Costa Rica 10 months later he was brain dead and had conditions including sepsis, rhabdo, protein malnutrition, and toxic encephalophagy which is caused by prolonged exposure to METALS OR RADIATION.
