@rbreich.bsky.social please take a look at what's happening with Job Corps. Regardless of what the right wing news sites might be spewing, this program has changed so many underprivileged lives in such a material way. In my 4 years with JC I have seen, first hand, so many lives positively impacted.

I don't see many people here talking about it but the fascist-in-chief ordered a "pause" to all Job Corps operations today. We have 30 days to find some 30k young adults a place in this world before it all goes away for good. To say nothing of the fates of the thousands of staff members affected.

Last night, I found out that comics legend Peter David had passed. We only met a few times, I didn't know him well, but I always felt a kinship with him because of the way he wrote comics, what he felt was important. He wrote his superheroes as people. It meant a lot. Rest in peace, Peter.

Star Wars hot take incoming ... Ben Bratt was a more nuanced Bail Organa and I think I prefer his performance over Smit's. There, I said it. #Andor

Model trains have been transformative for my son, a young boy that faces many challenges due to ADHD and DMDD. These stories illustrate just how harmful the current administration's economic policies are to real people in an industry that is about as American as it gets. youtu.be/fH_ejJaqxE0?...

How is this even legal? Conflict of interest much?

In a world falling apart at the seams, this looks like the kind of Superman we've been waiting years to see. Optimistic. Hopeful. Not afraid to embrace the big blue boy scout aspects of Kal's personality. Opening weekend here I come.

"There are methods" like...declaring yourself Emperor. Not holding elections. Jailing any and all who publicly oppose you. Disappearing viable opposition candidates. Shall I go on? www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I saw this on another post and thought maybe I'd offer up four of my own absolute bangers in the world of movie scores. A little break from the doom scrolling if you will.

YAS!!!!

Because an educated, knowledgeable electorate is a dangerous electorate to small men pretending to be leaders.

Why she's not running the Democratic party is beyond me yet it illustrates how broken/corrupt our system really is.

If alt-right gamers are complaining that games are too woke, they should learn to make their own anti-woke games. Go on, pick up the pen. Write a story. Draw a character. Program a game. And make sure it's actually good or else nobody will play it, or worse, you'll get bad reviews! Good luck! 🤣

Is there any way to send Tommy Tuberville to jail? Preferably to a tiny island the world can completely forget about.

Born in 74' and already feeling it

I was today years old when I realized the S.S. Eleos XII from Star Trek Picard is a straight up 24th century remake of the Enterprise NX-01. How I never noticed before is beyond me. LLAP 🖖 #startrek
