Sci-fi, fantasy, theme park fan. Books, comics, movies, all of it. Still a punk skater at heart.

I want to say I bought this at a bookstore in the Valley, big props to the anonymous author for committing to the bit and not putting any name besides “Skeletor.” honestly not bad advice, especially considering the source.

AN ANTIDOTE TO AMBITION
I am an ambitious man and my ambition is pulled in many different directions. want to destroy He-Man. I want to invade Castle Grayskull and learn its ancient secrets. I want to get revenge on Hordak for skipping out on me mid-battle through his stupid old smelly ugly dumb pissy crappy dimensional portal. And I want those things ALL AT ONCE.

ON THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING SINGLE WHEN YOU'RE NOT IN A GOOD PLACE
There's nothing better than being in love but you should also learn the joys (and, even more so, the im-portance) of being single. Sometimes we're not in the right place in our lives to be in a relationship. That's when we need to fix our problems and work on ourselves before wading back into the dating scene.

I had a realization yesterday that The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a great allegory for Generative AI. Mickey pawns off work to an autonomous force only to have that force mindlessly use keep doing that very thing and destroy everything while using up plenty of perfectly good water in the process

It's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that

are there any leftist or leftist inclined presses that would publish a photo book? does Verso do photo books? I am working on a very political project and it would be neat to pitch it to a publisher :)

There are only three possible futures: a) everyone in the Trump admin goes to jail, rule of law partially restored; b) Dems retaliate in full, and maybe that's a deterrent; c) neither (a) nor (b), so lawless authoritarianism wins again, and when Republicans regain power they ramp it up even more.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Reminder that on his last day of his first term, Trump awarded a commendation to Dr Fauci "in recognition of his exceptional effort on Operation Warp Speed"

This is a well-produced segment. I encourage you to watch so you can hear the noise for yourself. The professor of environmental health science that they interviewed called it an “unprecedented new noise source.”

Neighbors say noise from Michigan data center is 24/7 and upending their lives

People who are suddenly deported to countries they haven’t been to for years — or, in some cases, have NEVER been to — are incredibly vulnerable. We are going to be reading stories like this for years. God have mercy on their three little girls.

“If immigration hadn't picked up my brother, my sister-in-law would still be alive, and the children wouldn't be going through this sorrow,” he said. “Unfortunately, immigration — the [U.S.] government — doesn't see that. It makes no difference to them.” www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

This story is indeed insane. They literally *discounted his correct answers* (on questions about the Constitution) so that a Trump supporting girl who wants to go to Hillsdale College could win $25K and be televised meeting Trump. So. Gross.

This story is crazy. It would appear Trump admin officials rigged their nationally televised high school civics contest to keep a young man from a Sikh family out of the finalists. www.notus.org/national/ame...

At an Irish pub in Arlington, VA and EVERYONE booed Trump when he was on the screen. Only times that Spain and Argentine fans were in agreement: Shakira and Muppets, good. Trump, bad.
