Today I had a root beer float for the first time in a very long time. We should all be drinking more root beer floats
There used to be an entire middle class of working actors who did commercials that has been completely obliterated by the celebrity endorsement machine. Don Draper says endorsements are lazy, but Jon Hamm is in all the commercials now so
upfromsumdirt@upfromsumdirt.bsky.social · 2w agothe age of celebrity endorsement is dead. or should be. nothing turns me off a product faster than some rich celebrity shill trying to convince me some new technological bullshit completes my "lifestyle". i aint with it.

SPICY. But not wrong, imo. Found family and friendship are great, but there's something to be said for the complete absence of duty or Big Goods in a lot of modern media.
Bill McKay@mckay4senate.bsky.social · 3w ago11. The issue with modern Star Trek is that it relies on the characters being moved by friendship and found family rather than duty to something bigger than themselves.
Today is one of those days where I’m pretty much staying on this side of the grass out of spite. But don’t worry, as a late diagnosed disabled person with the soul of an artist, I have endless reserves
Indiana shits all over Kentucky for being “the South” meanwhile their motto is “The Crossroads of America” because no one wants to stay there, they’re just driving through

Am I ever going to learn that when a new employer says “We need fresh ideas!” what they really mean is “Keep your mouth shut or we’ll fire you”?
My grandmother is dying a bad death, and recently confessed through scratching on a pad (she can’t talk anymore) that she has been praying to die. So now I’m praying for mercy too, and, as you can imagine, I’m feeling a lot of guilt as a result. Is there a Star Trek episode about this?
How do I get this story noticed by science fiction fans? Jewish Currents isn't exactly known as an outlet for SF

Heartwarming (and Star Trekking) thread for your Thursday morning. This is what it looks like when we embody Trek’s best values
Seven of Sixty Nine@internetperson69.bsky.social · last mo.So we're going through a brutal heatwave in my region, and yesterday I'm sitting around luxuriating in the AC when I get a knock on the door. It's our 73 year old neighbor, and she says the power in her apartment went out! Yikes!! So of course I invite her in and have her sit with some ice water >
It’s going to be a tough day. My grandmother is starting hospice care and I'm headed up to her house to put some of her furniture in storage and make space for a hospital bed

you might lose your job for teaching the actual words of douglass in a classroom, but - hey, what if we made it into a video game hosted by a scurrilously coded ai program?! EUREKA!!!
Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 2mo ago“The installation, unveiled in February 2024, allows guests to ask Douglass questions through an iPad.

Ida B Wells' Winchester Rifle@dytsras.bsky.social · 2mo agoYou wanna hear a cool story? Today is D-Day. The anniversary of the June 6, 1944 invasion of Normandy. It was the biggest seaborne invasion in the history of the world, helped to liberate France, and was ultimately the turning point of WWII. But that's not the story I wanna tell.... 🧵
The workshop is about how to use Ai for cover letters and “workflow” and efficiency and all the other buzzwords that boil down to “Don’t submit your work here, a human won’t read it”

Every time a platform introduces a new Ai feature I sprint to disable it, because I am simply too smart and sexy to let a thieving chatbot write for me
