"Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward." -Karis Nemik

No shit, right? I want that on a t-shirt, and I don't even LIVE in New York City!

I used to regularly check the NHC site, because hurricanes landing anywhere from Virginia to Mississippi and beyond can and have directly affected my job, and I just realized that I haven't checked it more than once this year because I don't trust the data or institution anymore. That sucks.

Fuck yeah, I love this thread. Nothing I like better than learning new stuff about stuff I already knew, ESPECIALLY when the stuff I "knew" was total bollocks that was bad or faulty data from who the fuck knows where. You rule, @evanbrady.bsky.social.

This is fucking RAD (it also hits close to home in a way), and I feel like - at this moment - the first duty of this #FriendOfDeSoto is to make sure all... #FODs... everywhere... have a chance to learn this. @greatesttrek.com @benjaminahr.mobi @trekkiebill.bsky.social

I want the upcoming cinematic re-re-reattempt to make the Fantastic Four relevant to general audiences to be good for all the reasons you'd want a movie to be good, but above all else I just want people to love Benjamin Grimm as much as I do, as much as he deserves, up there with Spidey and Cap.

Happy Pride from me and @ambertamblyn.bsky.social!! I had never kissed a girl before. So, as a guest on Two and a Half Men, and after I kissed Ashton Kutcher (in cougar-like fashion) they asked, would I also passionately kiss Amber on the way out? Nice! Ahhh! An actor’s life. 🎭

In the Xanth YA fantasy series (the less said about that the better), one of the conceits of the LAND of Xanth is that everyone who's born there has a magical talent of some kind; one magical thing they can do whenever they want. The most powerful are called Magicians, the rest are just people.

So... wtf is the deal with the Fantastic Four? All my comics knowledge comes vicariously from woke comic nerds, a tiny bit from comics I own or have read, and whatever research I've done myself (BTW do NOT look up Superboy Prime just because you're bored and curious). So I know nothing, basically.

What actor’s expression in a movie will stay with you for the rest of your life? Live a life so that you never have someone like him make that face, while pointing directly at YOU, and saying that "it is now YOU... that are put to the test."

Things are absolutely FUCKED these days on multiple levels, so why not kick back with some popcorn, cheese, & the @solmatespod.bsky.social review of @rifftrax.com's riffview of "Independence Day?" Vices are encouraged. 😁 #MST3K #ID4 #ItVexesJoe #HeIsTerriblyVexed www.spreaker.com/episode/riff...

It's hot out! 🔥 🥵 Share some movie or TV characters on the beach! 😁

if you vote for andrew cuomo women should always keep their drinks covered around you

WOW, IT'S ALMOST LIKE WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN SINCE I WAS A CHILD GROWING UP IN REAGAN'S AMERICA... HAPPENED!! Oh, if ONLY people could've realized the GOP was growing into a Nazi party back in the 60's. Or 70's. Or 80's. Or 90's. Or 00's. or 10's. Or RIGHT FUCKING NOW, FFS.

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

Now we all know the NX-01 is a great ship, even if it operated like it was built by the Ferengi lowest bidder, lacked any significant defensive weaponry, and looks like someone flipped an Akira class cruiser upside down and went, "Meh... sure, fuck it."

If Nate Silver wasn't bending over for Peter Thiel and that sweet, sweet gambling money, he'd have already been found in an alley behind video gambling den, unconscious and smelling of warm, sour PBR and regret.

Is this the forecast for Earth or Alderaan? Or both?

I mean... yeah, he does, but unfortunately the editors, journalists, and ESPECIALLY the management of @cnn.com, @msnbc.com, @npr.org, @nytimes.com, @washingtonpost.com, @latimes.com, and the rest of their legacy ilk are at best spineless, craven cowards, and at worst IN FAVOR of cruelty and evil.

I don’t care if it’s corporate marketing, I like that the cunty murderbot said trans fucking rights

I used to run with a pretty tough gang when I was younger. The gang:

Huh. Well, that makes me feel like... .00001% better, but hey... that IS better.

Oh wait, I have another one! *ahem* In the corpo-fascist sludge of the far future, there is only punk:

I mean... to quote a great and legendary Jedi: "If it works." 😁

Man, my lack of video game systems as a kid/teen in the 80's and 90's really led to some wide knowledge gaps and weird, inextricable grudges. Example: To this day, I will never, ever, EVER forgive Final Fantasy VIII. Even though what it did - which is exist - is not its fault and 100% my problem.

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

Sexual abusers have solidarity with each other.
