A friend of mine took this pic a few years ago of a local station’s error. He sadly died earlier this year. While this isn’t exactly his legacy, it left a huge mark. So everyone please turn your cocks back tonight for Mike.

Turn your cocks back one hour tonight tv ad

do not funnel your grief over this death into trek and x-men merch, paramount & disney dont need your money. go to plays, give to charities, vote for candidates who will fund public art, and you will make it possible for people like patrick stewart to exist and keep existing. a rising tide lifts all

If you want more Patrick Stewarts, then you publicly fund the arts and learning programs, so that working class kids can find their way into making a career in them.

There WILL BE less people like Patrick Stewart or Dolly Parton, given widening wealth inequality, loss of jobs in creative sector, austerity, privatisation of education (especially arts) & financial exclusion. Art of the near future will be less diverse & restricted to the privileged few.

Patrick Stewart's passing feels a whole hell of a lot like Dolly's. It's hard to imagine that singular talents found in people born in the working class or working poor will get fostered the ways theirs were. The things that nurtured those talents have been stripped for profit by assholes.

Es ist so wichtig, dass dieses Thema eine breitere Öffentlichkeit bekommt und mehr Bewusstsein dafür entsteht, warum es gerade im historischen Kontext wichtig ist, nicht einfach KI Slop zu produzieren (also nie, aber ihr wisst schon ...) bsky.app/profile/frau...

In Geschichtsdokus wie „Terra X“ kommt immer häufiger KI zum Einsatz. Das gezeigte Material sagt allerdings mehr über popkulturelle Bildwelten aus als über die Ereignisse, um die es eigentlich geht, schreibt @matthias-warkus.de. (€) uebermedien.de/122121/wenn-...

Die Deutschen haben 2025 weniger gespart als im Vorjahr. Schuld sind offenbar die vielen Luxusausgaben wie Heizen, Lebensmittel und gelegentlich ein Standardbrief.
