i’ve suddenly received more likes/reskeets on my posts and i can only assume that it’s not A) another bot wave or B) a much larger twitter exodus than ever before but rather C) somehow i’ve effortlessly become better at Poasting. and i will not interrogate that further

i love star trek and i love that brent spiner and levar burton just get to do perfectly-timed gags on episodes of tv that nobody would otherwise think about

still watching through TNG. every frame a painting

i am always thinking about that george rr martin quote that goes "i've always considered women to be people" and also how alien (1979 film) was written to have a male protagonist but they filed the pronouns off during casting. i am always thinking about this

it will never not be funny to me that a man who looks like this and is named James Oliver Cromwell was born and raised in Los Angeles and not a South Yorkshire mining town that has two different folks songs about the same orphanage fire

Fresno Fred@fresnofred.bsky.social · 3d ago

It's not clear, probably intentionally, where this movie is taking place. Sheepdog trials are a New Zealand and Aussie thing, for one. But the cast is trying and mostly failing to sound American and James Cromwell is the most English-looking man to not actually be English.

The New York Times would have seen the midterms coming if they talked to these guys instead of focus group buffoons

Hope won.

help

i don't know if anyone living has noticed besides me but @krisstraub.com has changed the "first/prev/next/last" navigation buttons on the Starslip page to be roughly how they were 16 years ago. yes that's Starslip, the best scifi webcomic which both started and ended. of all time, yes. wrong number

anyhoo read Bailey, a short story about how it feels to grow up in industrial areas with some sort of brain problem that no one will diagnose chrome-occupation-68e.notion.site/Bailey-14a52...

Paid another visit to Bailey today.

i need to write more stories

i got a take-and-bake "detroit-style" pizza from the king soopers and just smelling it baking is making me emotions. i miss you michigan my home country

the willingness to say “what the fuck are you even talking about, you freak” is a refreshing commonality among much of the new Class of 2026 officeholders

receipts. i wish i had documented it better but my shakeout run in the Polestar 2 proved that it’s the best car i’ve ever driven and i will always be an EV owner until the end of time

Railsmith@railsmith.bsky.social · 4d ago

it's wild that between most major towns and cities in the US you can just drive a modest-ranged EV with absolutely no planning, and outside of the US it's even easier. i went on a 3500-mile road trip in my polestar 2 with no planning other than the car's "hey, gettin' low, here's some charge stops"

Gotta say, Dan may have just dropped the most robust post-election analysis to date. Props to Dan.

Asking my biggest hater to UNBLOCK me on social media! Watch how easy it is.

One thing we've talked about a lot is how this midterm has brought in a lot of political *talent*, some great and confident communicators of moral messages bsky.app/profile/tyle...

Oversight Dems@oversightdemocrats.bsky.social · 4d ago

Official statement from incoming Oversight Chairman @robertgarcia.house.gov on Stephen Miller being announced as White House Chief of Staff:

One thing that’s going to be annoying in the historicization of this moment is the idea that because the Trump regime failed to consolidate authoritarian control, that somehow means they must not have really been fascists. No. They were fascists and bad at it.

May we all stop to consider one of the funniest bits of fallout from this culture shift: Nicki Minaj went all in on MAGA and Trump expecting it to get her in with the RISING CULTURE OF AMERICA and instead has blown up her entire career and is now absolutely fucked Lmao

some of you use your hatred of Elon Musk or the cybertruck to shit on EVs as a whole a lot of yall don’t know WTF yall are talking about when it comes to EV vs ICE and you’re not doing shit but spreading misinformation

cis folks, please use this field! when you show your pronouns it normalizes it for trans people. it helps us greatly! do not use it for jokes. that does not help us and we will find you and remove your throat through your face

jenny tightpants@jtp.bsky.social · 4d ago

oh shit it shows you someone's pronouns when you're replying to them so you don't have to check their bios. actually great feature

i cannot stress enough that public level 2 charging is so much more important overall than expanding the fast charging network for the vast majority of people who would potentially be EV drivers, and installations like this kick ass. good job portland

Michael DiTullo@d2lo.bsky.social · 4d ago

Been thinking about getting an EV but live in an apartment? Turns out that the Portland Bureau of Transportation has been thinking about you ☺️… check out this discounted EV street charging program! #ev #charger #pdx #portland
