Watching Fallout Season 2 had me thinking “this is a great Borg origin story.”

Whelp, I’m screwed. I have all the internet charisma of a week-old Subway sandwich.

I’m not proud of not having used ChatGPT or whatever bc it’s … easy not to use it. Choosing not to use it has no impact on my day. Bc it’s not even good at the thing it’s supposed to be doing. It’d be like being proud of myself for not using a broken calculator to do math.

Watching American entertainment implode because of white male supremacy — and seeing people still flock to theaters to support these companies — is tragic. But it also makes me glad there are other countries whose entertainment industries put out incredible stories. And I’ll be supporting THOSE now.

There’s a reason they never show Anubis without his robes.

Call your Reps, even if they're not there right now you can leave a message, trust me, they do see those. You don't have to be eloquent, you don't have to make a good argument, this isn't debate club, just say "Vote No on this bill," and that's all you need.

‼️ Bad Internet Bills, disguised as “kids safety” bills, are moving through Congress again ‼️ It's time to get those phones in Congress ringing off the hooks again w/ one simple message: we refuse any bill that age restricts, censors & surveils the Internet. : www.politico.com/live-updates...

Regular reminder that no wealth tax is going to stop this racist oligarch from destroying America. We must put Musk in prison for the crimes he has committed that are public knowledge—or others that have so far been hidden. The DOGE violations of federal law will be sufficient.

Huge turnout against racism in Glasgow today - can't even see the end of the crowd. Chants so far include "Nazi scum off our streets" and "Refugees are welcome here."

Whatever else there is to say about Doctor Who, these two did nothing wrong.

I’m rewatching Lower Decks — folks, it has by far the best music and sound design of any Star Trek series. I’m in constant awe. This is what Star Trek should sound like.

I finished rewatching Star Trek Voyager last night, and for all its flaws, it made me certain of one thing: Kate Mulgrew and Tim Russ should have won Emmys for their performances as Janeway and Tuvok. “Riddles” in particular was a showcase of Russ’s talent.
