The only counter-argument to "It's actually good that bluesky is an echo chamber" that actually carries any water is how many times I've seen "It's actually good that bluesky is an echo chamber" bounce backwards and forwards across my feed despite no opposition.

I already know how to ask a question and receive a wildly inaccurate and possibly unrelated answer. I ask my kids how school went every day.

That's actually pretty clever. Worse case scenario, the kids learn something!

Obviously I know that no kind of protest will ever be acceptable to those in power. I'm not some kind of naïve child. What I meant was that to be effective and promote widespread support the protest must not make me personally feel uncomfortable.

Always exciting to see someone else is about to discover why so much of mainstream fiction and drama has a broadly progressive slant even in otherwise conservative political climates.

something i've learned of in the last year that i think about a lot is the amount of kent farmland that has been won & lost in games of cards, often the same fields changing hands several times over just a few years

There were a lot of valid criticisms of Star Trek Picard but one thing it nailed is "ICE are villains". Anyone who gets the opportunity ought to be putting their story's cartoonishly evil henchmen in ICE vests. Captain America has no purpose without a cover of him punching an ICE goon in the face.

Just got the kind of email where you have to go and do the dishes before you reply because when you kill this guy, you want the CSIs to know that it was cold and premeditated.

This comic has become a fixture in our house, so I'm happy for a chance to expand the lore.

Lost on Planet Earth, btw, is a great against the grain dissection of Star Trek's worldbuilding, a utopia where the only job with any real value is "Join the Army". www.darkhorse.com/Books/3008-3...
