I just randomly remembered how my first Masquerade character, a Malkavian named Lugh, used to wear a “free Palestine” pin.

Random thought: the stories about how Rick Berman treated people, sound similar to how Joss Whedon treated people.

I wonder if people would have accepted the return of Palpatine more, if they had retconned it that the dude who died at the end of Return of the Jedi was his clone.

I’ve been debating whether to make the trek to the theater for Cap, to wait for home release. But it occurred to me that a movie where the president turns into an inhumanly pigmented monster that must be stopped might 1, be just what I need right now, and 2, might be banned soon.

“Why did I pick up my phone just now?” Is a tech based “why did I come into this room?”

Deep Space Nine thought: The irony of the Founders, is that they distrust solids,whose forms are static but whose minds are changeable. Whereas the Founders can change shape, but are very unchanging in their ways.

While it does make sense that if they have the ability to genetically re-create dinosaurs they would eventually start futzing around with the dna to try to create Godzilla or something, I find that to be far less interesting than just DINOSAURS.

It seems to me that transphobia is also misogynistic. At least where it pertains to not wanting trans women to be able to participate in women’s sports.

My crossover fanfic obsessed brain is currently contemplating an Ring of Fire AU where instead of being transplanted into Germany in the 1600’s, Granville is sent back to the Hyborean age.

Not only do I think The Eternals is a fantastic movie, I think it’s a very IMPORTANT movie.

I was wondering if at some point Trump would stop doing what he was told, and his handlers would have him removed, but it’s also possible he will be a sacrificial lamb to lull us into a false sense of security. Or they’ll just keep using him. He’s a pretty useful tool for them.

I’m both amused, and appreciative that when they announced the Buffy revival, they made sure to let us know that Whedon has no involvement.

I’ve occasionally daydreamed about what I would do if I were one of the idle rich. And I think one of my eccentricities, would be to buy a plot of land, develop it in some way, at least put a nice house there, then set up cameras to watch it re-wild.

For all federal employees: Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs. If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

I don't feel like I did in 2016. I feel like I did when the plane struck the second tower. By then, we all realized what was happening. Deep breath. Head down. Find your safe spot. Scream.

I’ve heard conflicting opinions about whether Trump is brilliant (or at least cunning), or a psychotic moron. I think it’s very possible that he is not actually the one in charge. That he’s being played by Putin and/or American fascists.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Going to work, making plans with friends, carrying on as if it’s business as usual seems insane to me sometimes. It has for a while. But what choice do we have? During quarantine, the phrase “the show must go on” helped get me through.

Last night I reminded myself that part of the reason that the Holocaust was allowed to happen is Hitler was able to disguise what was happening. We must not allow that this time.
