holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

Years ago I coined the milleneuve, which is a unit to measure how horrible the sky color is based on Villeneuve films. Blade Runner 2049 is around 900mn. Today is around 250 I'd say. (It's a very scientific scale.)

I keep telling people this and no one believes me: at least at DC, there is no such thing as “ongoings” and “minis” anymore. There hasn’t been for about 5 years now. Every single set of 6 issues is an audition to the readers for more.

DC extends ‘The Deadman’ to 12 issues following fan response @martinmorazzo.bsky.social #comicsky Get the scoop:

This just makes me think I'd be way more interested in a movie about people rebelling against this insane Christian puritanism in their society than one about people just going along with "This is my one night to not be 'pure!' Better make it count!"

Just finished Dark Knights of Steel: Heir to the Sea. My first trip into this world & what an amazing ride! @tomtaylormade.bsky.social is so good at Elseworld stories. The Easter eggs were a blast, Riccardo Federici’s art was stunning, and I’m all in on reading the rest. #ComicSky

And for the really bad news? They've put a target on VPNs. Sites are required to identify (and age-verify) any US citizen, regardless of whether they're using a VPN. In fact, the default is to get the ID and biometrics of EVERYONE unless you can somehow prove their not a US citizen.

"VPNs are a privacy and security tool used by millions of internet users every day, and their use should not be treated as suspect. It is particularly galling that the SCREEN Act forces users who intentionally take steps to protect their privacy to identify themselves."

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.

We told you so. Trump deploying agents to voting stations in Detroit, Hamtramck, Lansing, & East Lansing. Keep these numbers on you in case you observe any interference, intimidation, or other bullshit. Election protection hotline (non-profit, non-partisan): 866-687-8683

and here’s the thing - am i anti- technology? no. some of my LEAST favorite filmmakers fall into “we must do everything practical” category (i wish i could condense that into some sort of tenet or something). i don’t care how you got the shot. i care about whether you engaged me as a human being.

Ronald Reagan ignored the AIDS crisis—and his “dear friend” from Hollywood, Rock Hudson, who asked for help. Dr. Fauci jumped in and helped. Guess which guy the homophobic ghouls in the Republican Party revere today.

I love this. Every blue state should be doing everything in its power to max out the vote.

Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 4d ago

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger announced Friday that she has restored voting rights for 66,085 people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to vote due to past felony convictions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I agree. And the thing about Moore (that he addresses in that section) is that he LOVES exploring emotions, relationships, connections, love, romance, friendship. That's his jam! Also rocketships! And there's always been a subcategory of sff people who are like, "No, this is math, solve the formula"

Brendan@bpdiamond.bsky.social · 4d ago

My 2 favorite shows of all time, Battlestar and DS9, were both *incredible* soap operas. The best non-timeline-altering episodes of TNG were soap opera episodes. Sci-fi at its *best* is part speculative, part interpersonal, and Moore has managed that better than almost anyone.

Crazy bidness...the whole system is rotten.
