What a beautiful, poignant episode - Rainn Wilson has inspired me for some time - I am agnostic, but I admire the Baha'i faith he talks about...it feels like the one expression of the Abrahamic faiths I could embrace again. Maybe one day.

Apparently, footage of the new Travis Knight directed Masters of the Universe movie was shown this week and it looks great. Am I excited? Naaahhh...not at all. I love this stuff so much - I've collected a few things over the years ... this is maybe half of it. ha. Let's go!

One of the little joyful distractions I’ve rediscovered this year is Lego, and it’s been so fun to put all my fav characters into scenes together. Here’s He-Man, Link, and a boatload of castle and D&D guys on a quest. I am a nerd - one of the good ones, I hope.

AI is a great tool to supercharge a worker, but that benefit is negated by companies using it to replace the work of many. Capitalism dictates lowering overhead to increase profits, and they do that by having one person with AI do the job of 5. Tech lays off 1000s of people every year to do that.

Born and raised in MS, and I've spent a ton of time in Louisiana. This game really does capture something special in its Southern Gothic themes. There's a lot of beauty in land and art there, but also an old darkness in the swamp and cluttered decay. Nails it. If u have GamePass, I recommend it.

The tornado of stupidity unleashed on "Liberation Day" will mean we buy less crap we don't need. That's the only positive I can find. Problem is that millions will have less money to buy things. What happens to the economy when people just stop spending and no one is importing our goods? It craters.

Trad Dems don't want to hear it, but Bernie was the answer to Trump's populism. The Dems are so certain that socialism can't work that they ignore that in most of the world, socialism is the party for working-class people's rights. What we call "the left" is basically the center-right in Europe.
“This is like presidential campaign rallies, isn’t it? But I’m not running for president, and this is not a campaign,” Sen. Bernie Sanders told The Associated Press. “You gotta do what you gotta do. The country’s in trouble and I want to play my role.”
Drawing huge crowds, Bernie Sanders emerges as the leader of the anti-Trump resistance
At 83 years old, Sanders is not running for president again. But the stooped and silver-haired democratic socialist has emerged as a leader of the resistance to Donald Trump's second presidency.

This isn't a shocking list if you've been paying attention. Still, seeing it compiled in this way paints a bleak picture. It's the erasure of entire swaths of people, and those represented on this list who actually voted for Trump should be getting a real wake-up call.
Fascism is here.
The list of words Trump is banning from government is the most stunning document of our time. Click the image below to see how many words Trump and Musk have canceled as part of their new Reich.

“Move fast and break things” was bad enough as a business axiom, @karaswisher.bsky.social argues, but “when it’s applied to the entire apparatus of our democracy, it’s terrifying.”

The Trump administration's attacks on its northern neighbor have been met with confusion and anger by some Canadians who are now cancelling their trips to the U.S. in protest.
As Canadians cancel trips due to Trump, the U.S. tourism industry could lose billions

The pause in fighting gave Gaza’s children a brief chance to heal. In six weeks, Save the Children delivered lifesaving aid to 51,000 people.
Now, that aid is blocked, and violence has resumed—putting children in grave danger. Denying aid is a death sentence. We must demand action.

Congress passed a budget plan aiming to reduce mandatory spending by $2 trillion over the next decade. This proposal will significantly impact the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding.
SNAP is vital for families. It helps 42 million Americans put food on the table.

The desire to "own" someone can lead you to drink poison to hurt the other guy. You'll never see a bigger self-own than this: $1tn in Health and SNAP cuts affecting red states disproportionately, almost $1tn added to the deficit to give 1% a $1.1tn tax cut - all this to "own" the libs. Huzzah.

An all-time fav of mine. I remember the fist time I heard these songs. I was very young, but I am, in fact, that old. ha.
