This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

I started playing Cyberpunk in Spanish... it was recommended on a subreddit I found while looking for children's video games to help me learn. I know more Spanish than I thought! Which is next to no Spanish. Good luck, V.
My friend suggested I do this with Mass Effect instead and... yeah.

Worf's parents being Russian Jews is faaaascinating. I guess I don't know they're Jews, but the actors both are. Plus, they're a very specific type of Jewish parental stereotype. Also I guess the actor playing the dad was a huge Zionist, so that's gross!

i have been through sooooooo much therapy in the last 35 years. the opening scene with troi therapisting at Picard is hilarious now.
i remember pausing my 10th birthday party to watch the episode where picard goes home to deal with his ptsd. needless to say, as a 10 year old, i thought it was boring. looking forward to it now!

Is there an episode of TV that's more important, narratively, than "The Best of Both Worlds"? It affected every bit of Star Trek that came after it.

I've restarted the all-Trek rewatch that I started like a billion years ago and stopped with "Best of Both World" because I was worried I wouldn't like it as much as I did when I watched the first time, when I was 9 years old.
So far, I think Riker's being a dick. When I was 9, I was on his side.

I will not be seeing Tron: Ares in theaters. Tron is my favorite movie of all time. There are folks on the Tron subreddit (the first sub I joined, lol) saying we should see it so Disney makes more Tron.
I don't understand this mentality. I'd rather no more Tron than bad Tron.

genAI is so good nowadays that we're all gonna get got eventually, but being told/shown over and over that you're disseminating a lie, and just ignoring people who point it out, is a serious red flag.

I appreciate Shudder dedicating part of the 100 Greast Horror Movie Scores to sound design, because... yes. Sound design is so cool and so overlooked. But wild not to mention David Lynch in that!

I've been quasi-obsessively playing #HadesII (it's SO much better than when I last played in Early aaccess) and I am in deep for Melionë and Eris, tyvm.

Even Netanyahu knows he is WANTED all over the world for the crimes he committed in Gaza
Shame and disgrace to the Jewish people.

The amount of headlines I've seen calling Kirk a "political activist" is actually stunning.
It’s kind of surreal watching the fascists and the fake opposition party come together in mourning over the death of an ultimately inconsequential influencer and in real time retcon him into some kind of lionized, mythical figure, a god among men. The fuck? He was some asshole with a very large head
