With help from @dvertov.bsky.social, we set our phasers to stun to cover J.J. Abrams’ reboot of the Star Trek franchise in which the newly assembled crew of the Enterprise are harangued by lens flares whilst battling a Romulan edge-lord who has accidentally traveled back in time 150 years! #StarTrek

A reminder, as polls open in Wisconsin: Wisconsin has same-day voter registration. So, if you haven’t registered or need to re-register, you can do so at your polling place (with ID and proof of residence) TODAY. Every state should do this. It’s great that Wisconsin does this. Go vote.
This is unequivocally true. My own step daughter fled the state after graduating from Madison. Wisconsin has had a brain drain as long as I've been alive here. We can change that, hopefully.
If the argument from the Washington Post Ed Board is over the hypothetical that people might leave the state due to Hong's policies, perhaps it's worth recognizing that young people in Wisconsin have been leaving the state in droves over the last generation, here in reality.
One week from today Long Line Riders return to Wiggle Room for Honky Tonk Happy Hour from 4-8pm.

I'll also keep screaming that ModRetro is owned by arms dealers. Blood money consoles.
Blogged it. Happy Hater Week. aftermath.site/war-crime-n6...
ModRetro are owned by weapons manufacturers. Giving them your money is blood on your hands.
Surely at this point everyone doing retro games stuff knows that ModRetro by an actual fascist, right?
Some of you are still posting AI-generated images, and it’s always tremendously disappointing.
I’m ready to launch my YouTube channel with this first post: an audio recording of my first blog post, which covered Project Blue for the NES! Listen all the way through for a bonus treat! #homebrew #projectblue #ahomebrewdrawsnear youtu.be/6qJqgsliChU?...

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Don’t know who to credit for this. But it is how I feel.
Free Music, Free Living at Honky Tonk Happy Hour today at Wiggle Room 4-8pm. No Charge 🎻💨
