[SNW spoilers] So, the puppet episode. I admit that I laughed out loud several times during the episode, and a lot of it was fun to watch, but it wasn't really great Star Trek.

This article feels like it's propaganda from commercial real estate companies trying to get people back in the office. https://www.npr.org/2026/06/08/nx-s1-5848125/remote-work-mental-health-isolation

My review of World's Gone Wrong by Lucinda Williams: https://critiquebrainz.org/review/2d4cde3a-b4dd-40ee-bb6e-907613aab55a

"Abortion is, at its core, about life, just not in the way that abortion opponents claim. Everything that surrounds getting an abortion—from the decision to the cost to travel and getting in the door—is about someone’s life, the course of that life, the value of that life. That’s why I never […]

I am legitimately tearing up at the thought of humans being on the way to the moon for the first time in my lifetime #ArtemisII

Banning conversion therapy isn't "viewpoint discrimination". It's not preventing people from expressing their heinous bigoted beliefs. It's preventing them committing child abuse based on those beliefs. My viewpoint is that stealing from the rich isn't unethical, but that's not going to stop me […]

Sometimes it’s complex. This time it’s not. It’s really not. She’s taking the money and using it to oppress, terrorize, and kill an already oppressed minority currently already being terrorized and killed.

These are literally the same people who use "soy" as a slur.

ICE murdered someone yesterday. The thug who did it needs to be prosecuted, and ICE needs to be immediately dismantled. "Abolish ICE" was always the moderate position. Any politician unwilling to do this, regardless of party, needs to GTFO.

Very frustrating that I have non-technical people in my life who will ask me for advice on things I know nothing about, but when I tell them not to use LLMs, they dismiss it as a personal quirk.

So excited to hear my number one pick on the #XPNCountdown . Bruce Cockburn is one of my favorite artists, and this BNL cover is exquisite

The only list that matters:

[ST: DISCO S1 spoilers, but come on, it's been 8 years, you've had enough time to watch it by now] New theory: divergence point between our universe and the mirror universe is that Grok actually DID replace Wikipedia.

Just putting this out there that there is no chance of me ever voting for Fetterman again, so if Democrats want my vote for Senate in 2028, they'd better primary him.

Black Messiah is one of my absolute favorite albums of all time; I listened to it every day for about a year. RIP D'Angelo

My favorite quotes from @pluralistic 's talk at Cornell last Friday: "The smallest government you can have is dictated by the largest corporation you're willing to tolerate." "A 'vote with your wallet' is always won by the people with the fattest wallets."

I know enough linguist experience to be fascinated by this sentence, yes

"Well I'm given to understand that for an extremely limited time, members of our nation's political violence party are shocked—shocked!—to learn that we currently live in a world of normalized political violence, and would like very much to know who is to blame." www.the-reframe.com/gambling-in-...

Being blamed for a world of political violence by the people who force us to live in it, and are now shocked-shocked!—by it. Navigating the daily trauma of living in a bully's paradise.

Just spoke to the specialty pharmacy that supplies my daughter's essential medication, and the person was so impressed that I, her *father*, knew how much of it we had on hand. Like, what an embarrassingly low bar for us men, to actually care about our children's health.

It seems like “a Democratic party campaign consultant” is somebody who professionally pushes Republican framing and messaging about Democrats in order to try make Democrats act like more like Republicans.

A message I just got from a buddy of mine, who’s a long time Democratic Party campaign consultant: “This Sydney Sweeney thing is the kind of thing that turns men away from our party. It’s why men think our party is weak & insane.” My response to him? “Fuck yea it is. You are exactly right.”

I feel like amid all of his other failings, not even considering reform and/or expansion of the Supreme Court may be the most lasting stain on Biden's legacy.

It's sort of funny when those who argue most strenuously for a marketplace of ideas where bad ideas are tested and rejected always always always get the most "concerned" when they encounter a place where bad ideas get rejected for being bad. Almost seems like they were lying about what they wanted.

Maybe this will be the wake-up call to Dems in Congress that Republicans are not their friends, and in fact wish them harm

My copy of #WinterRabbit just arrived, and I can't wait to play it!

Multiple things can be true at the same time. The ACA was certainly better than nothing, and it helped people get health insurance who previously couldn't. But it was also essentially a conservative-crafted plan that still left many people with inadequate healthcare.
