the irrational fear of communism taking hold in the united states is perhaps the single most destructive force against anything getting better here. people are raised to be actively afraid of life getting better for everyone.

The end of Andor's story is pretty definitive. But I'm still holding out hope we get a follow-up at some point - a spiritual successor that covers the intervening time of the Original Trilogy. Albeit with a different set of characters.

This is Dr. Frasier Crane wishing you good MENTAL HELL!!

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

what the absolute fuck is she doing. this should be disqualifying and michigan voters should call for a recall on her, she is an absolute fraud

Some uncensored messaging to Coachella 🤝🇵🇸

if you’re on here reporting palestinians just know you’re filth and i hate you.

i am fascinated by how such profoundly stupid people are able to command such power over our lives

it’s only been three months

Sorry but the Dems immediately unanimously approving a Trump nominee immediately after Booker stops talking is so fucking funny

If Palestine is the litmus test everybody has failed it, so it's not a surprise the West is in a dire State. The same men bombing brown & Black people indiscriminately will also snatch your white elderly Mom's social security. That's why fighting for rights can't be selective. Everybody or nobody.

I’m not like a social media expert but I feel like if Bluesky didn’t keep deleting Palestinian accounts and forcing them to recreate them and rebuild their support networks while starving and dying in a warzone there might not be as much “spam”. This site’s actions are racist and cruel. Fuck you.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

"It was the Biden administration, it was the Democratic establishment, that has created the conditions that we are now seeing taken advantage of," Palestinian scholar Noura Erakat says of Mahmoud Khalil's arrest and the Trump administration's crackdown on dissent.

One of the big disappointments of modern life is how fucking dumb the people in charge of the government are. I was hoping the apocalypse would be run by people who are at least competent -- people who you could look at and think, "I guess I understand how they came to be in charge." No such luck.

amuses me to no end that milchick's arc this whole season in large part revolves around his beef with a *child*

As someone who bounced off of Baldur's Gate 3, Avowed really does scratch that straight forward but well made fantasy RPG itch. Really enjoying it thus far.

There is nothing brave or new in CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD. It's a tap dancing vision of a Black Captain America. My review via @ebertvoices.bsky.social.

I don't really keep up with sports, so when I saw that Seal image going around, I assumed it was some tepid attempt at a meme or something I had no idea some ad exec actually brainstormed it and aired it during the most popular American televised event of the year likely going to haunt my dreams

Imagine still believing that America is the land of the free when they’re doing this to a journalist at a press conference

Starting off 2025 by living on the edge and investing in a vertical mouse. I feel like the last 30 years of my life have been a lie...

Coming out of a long hiatus from reading comics and diving into Absolute Wonder Woman -- and it is *captivating*. This is honestly the best Wonder Woman has been. I can only hope we get an adaptation at some point.

Randomly thinking about that stretch during the '90s when directors were having Keanu doing bad accents in otherwise amazing movies

Folks, the funny part isn’t that he pardoned his dipshit son who deserves to be in jail, it’s that the one time he decided to step over the “play nice” line politically was to do something irrefutably selfish. IT’S ALMOST LIKE THEY ONLY DO RADICAL THINGS WHEN IT BENEFITS THEM PERSONALLY.

All I want for Christmas is Bluesky iPad app

Extremely fucking frustrated with Safeway since my rewards points have been hacked and getting them back is taking an eternity. If anyone is able to help, I would appreciate it. I was only planning on spending $50 on groceries this week so hopefully I can reach that. ko-fi.com/professorbeef

Amazing how we're still dealing with the fallout of curtailing of Reconstruction after the Civil War. Same half-measures from moderates and deliberate sabotage from conservatives leading to the same disastrous results.

This place feels like when you graduated from elementary to middle school and you ran into some of your old classmates again. Feels good.

Made my first starter pack! These are the climate journalists I know and love and highly recommend following on BlueSky so far. Please tell me who I'm missing (and apologies in advance if I've missed you, I swear it's not intentional!) go.bsky.app/1ivUnG

The old place is a cesspool. Guess it's time to make a move.
