These kinds of questions are one of the reasons I sleep so poorly.

Today on IMMORTAL SCIENCE: With the Trump administration threatening to bully leftists the way they do Venezuelan fishermen, I put down some thoughts about my history of violence, and what we might need to be prepared to do to defend ourselves. For entertainment purposes only!

Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.

We're 80,000 strong and growing. Capitalism is a dead end and people are starting to wake up to that. The Democrats couldn't stop the slide into fascism but socialism can.

We organize and build every day. You can join us and build a socialist future. They're afraid of us. Find out why.

I was very disappointed the 2012 film, which was a perfectly ok movie, got crushed.

i’ll never get over how some people pointed out trump was going to do project 2025 and then eventually the media asked trump if he was going to do project 2025 and he said “never heard of it” and the media decided he surely couldn’t be lying about that one

Not funny, Mom!

This is bluesky’s updated use policy. It seems inconsistent with continuing to not ban or moderate people like Singal.

Daughter of Robin Williams, Zelda Williams 💔

I’ve never been to Cuba, but from the sounds of it, their condoms are girthy.

I can’t wait for her album on tax evasion.

It’s wild to me that bluesky could have ran to the bank with billions if they could have just stuck to the business plan of “like Twitter without nazis.”

Fucking cowards.

I fundamentally don’t give a shit about atprotocol. All I want from apps like this is to read updates from people I enjoy, and not have a bigot reply with hateful shit.

That’s it.

And if bluesky can’t provide that then some else will.

The value proposition of bluesky was “not Twitter.” Aside from algorithmic ranking of your view, there was nothing fundamentally wrong with Twitter except, it gave up on moderation, and let assholes ruin it for everyone.

If Bluesky is going to do the exact same thing, where is the value?

In addition to being a first rate production designer and concept artist, Ron Cobb turned out some banger political cartoons in the Nixon era.

I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know, but AAFES is a hugely important part of dependent support for DoD, even beyond commissary affordability, and it was specifically created because private suppliers were corrupt and taking advantage of service members. www.af.mil/About-Us/Fac...

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

The official White House response to the American public about the government shutdown is

“‘on second thought, go fuck yourself,’” the White House official said.”

In light of today’s absolutely fucking deranged “I’m in a war movie” speeches by Trump and Hegseth, I give you the plaque at West Point.

Hegseth is such an embarrassment. A literal walking talking example of a paper tiger chicken hawk. I did a single 4yr enlistment in the army during the gulf war and have been a civilian IT middle manager since then, and I’m more qualified to the position than Hegseth is.

Been thinking a lot on this MLK Jr. quote lately:

“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice…”

For several years my favorite diner in Vegas was a diner in the forum shops that was explicitly designed and inspired by Diner (1982). I have never seen Diner.
