chewieken.bsky.social - Profile | ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

I feel like I know my Bluesky audience pretty well, but just in case some of you have (gasp!) never seen Casablanca and therefore never had the heartsplitting experience of watching a bunch of real life European refugees stand up and drown out fake Nazis by singing the Marseillaise go fix that soon.

One of the funniest things about Spock is that once every seven years he gets so horny that he might blow up the ship or strangle the captain to death in pure horny fury but he doesn’t really think to let anyone know about it even though it’s been six and a half years since it happened last.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

Unfortunately you have to primary everyone, not just because they don't have what it takes to fight, but because they don't have what it takes to rebuild. Last thing you want is them to win by default and then tread water until the next Trump comes to power

I’ve said this before, but I adore how season 1 has each character represent a different reason to work and how each becomes completely disillusioned by the end.

And so far none of it is being done by Congress passing bills! It’s all executive action, the exact thing Biden insisted he couldn’t use.

Control is one of those games I find hard to evaluate after completion because there's 30% of it that's a really captivating memorable ride surrounded by an utterly tedious repetitive gameplay loop that felt fundamentally mismatched to the experience. I liked the big worm!

I'd go a lil' further. The main tech disruptions have been Netflix, Spotify, Uber and Deliveroo? Now nobody can make shows, musicians can't live from royalties, taxi drivers are debt laden, restaurants have to jack their prices and ghost kitchens mean you don't know where your food came from.

I'll never forget those ghouls gleefully gassing themselves up for Peacefully Handing Over Power to monstrous fascists & insatiable wealth gluttons. They were so proud of themselves. That was less than one month ago. Less than a month and we're here. Handed over the keys & they went right to work.

The reason why 77 million Americans voted for a man who promised to deport their neighbors and kill their children is because some college students on the internet asked you to respect nonbinary people’s pronouns If you don’t realize how ridiculous that sounds, you’re in a cult
