Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Sometimes you just have to let @lopatto.bsky.social say it out loud www.theverge.com/policy/85990...
Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards
Once you’ve traded your principles for proximity to power, do you even run your own company?

I very much appreciated this essay by @sarahjeong.bsky.social this morning. It's a reminder that reality and truth still matters, even in the face of blatant and brazen lies.

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum.

We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

Princess Mononoke. Watched for the 1st time during COVID - I'd heard it heavily inspired some of my fav things (SW Rebels, Zelda: BOTW, as well as ATLA) and wanted to see where the inspiration for those came from. It's themes, characters, & art quickly sunk in and continue to feed my brain.

The workers at my local Starbucks are on strike, asking for more staffing, better pay, and better benefits. However, it's expensive to be on strike. If you've got some change, you could help them out a bit here, as they're pretty far off their goal right now:

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain.

Not this time. Not anymore.

Not sure if #SesameStreet has a home yet, but I keep wishing that @dropouttv.bsky.social considers it*

It would be equal parts the laugh AND the inspiration I think we could all use right now.

*(I have no idea if this is actually viable, just allowing myself 'some' hopium today).

I LOVED #SkeletonCrew! It was so much fun. Every actor (kid and adult) was so earnest and convincing, the production design - from sets, costumes, props, special effects - were stellar, and the pirate theme worked! I highly recommend 🌌 🏴‍☠️ 🚀

The Democrats embracing Trump’s horrible policies is exactly why they lost the election. Alas.

Shocker that mine are both #StarWars shows: either Clone Wars or Rebels, I can dive into either at a drop of a hat 🤓
there are quite a few but i’d go with

Leverage or Gossip Girl

Just saw that the first #StarWars "The Force Awakens" trailer was released 10 years ago (technically back during the Thanksgiving week), and now I need to go lay down and stare at a wall.

Existential dread aside, thank you @lucasfilm.bsky.social for the continued memories and joy!!
