I learned just now that little Violet Rutherford on Leave It To Beaver is Veronica Cartwright, who later appeared in Alien, The Witches of Eastwick, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and played abductee Cassandra Spender in X-files!

Used hands down the worst sink ever today. It's a combination hand dryer and faucet, and if you attempt to get soap from the dispenser the hand dryer blows the soap away. 0/10

I ported my Rejected Virginia License Plates bot to post to Bluesky, in addition to Mastodon. If you'd like to see twice-daily license plates that the Virginia DMV has deemed inappropriate, then this is for you.

First two nights of #TribecaFestival have been awesome, Logic's Paradise Records is a worthy successor to Kevin Smith's Clerks and "The Best You Can" was a heartstring tugging romance with a lot of funny bits and heart starring two actors with crazy chemistry.

Good god damn when you teamed this man with Paul Williams GREAT songs came out. Rest In Peace, Roger Nichols. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/a...

I hated every second of drawing this.

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

it’s time to replace all doctors with ai

Now gay people can wear ugly clothes too. #Equality

I’m not putting anyone on a pedestal but at every opportunity to be a shithead who throws marginalized people under a bus this man chooses the opposite and he’s wildly popular because of it and I don’t understand what about that isn’t clicking for other dems

Having seen the episode I can say that was without a doubt the most incomprehensible 2 hours of television that I have seen in quite some time. Waste of the Rani, waste of Belinda, Ncuti deserved better. And much like I ask if Star Trek can let Spock go, can we let Rose Tyler go?

Democratic Wonder Twins activating their powers by bumping fists and saying "Taco" and "Cheeto" and nothing happens.

Death threats. Islamophobic bigotry. Now a sitting Councilmember calling for my deportation. Enough. This is what Trump and his sycophants have wrought. It’s an assault on the values of our city and our Constitution. Will Cuomo condemn this or will that upset his MAGA donors?

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

"The plan? Help a struggling restaurant get free publicity by telling credulous journalists the chef is ChatGPT."

I think those Costco guys might have been onto something...

RIP Jonathan Joss, who for my money was the best part of Parks and Rec.

When I was working on the Endeavor vanity shield I started off looking at the gold/silver icons of the Endeavor perks but then soon realized it reminded me of the "yellow" Stargazer model from Picard's ready room. Then I just leaned into it, while keeping a metallic/gold feel!

One of the funniest jokes in TV history big RIP

pretty certain this is where I got the name "Justin Joss"—must have seen it in the credits so many times.

i love holding real news in my hands

Oh no!

This man has gained 30 points in the polls since posing with the Sickos Guy. There are no coincidences.

David Byrne was the first person to reach out to us because he wanted to be on the show.

The Playmates Star Trek art of Ron McPherson.

No this is just what people who don’t commonly write much (aka a lot of ai believers) insist bc they think all common writer things are ai And then they feed that info back into the plagiarism machines

'It is also reported to have spent more than £1 million developing a machine learning tool which was supposed to assess someone’s social media networks to estimate how effectively they could crowdfund a book. It was never successfully deployed.' www.thetimes.com/uk/arts/arti...

saw a post saying we're not gonna see a human land on mars in our lifetime. i mostly agree but wanna sort of point out why. getting to mars: ez. solved. we've done it dozens of times with satellites, rovers and stuff. getting to mars has been solved for 60 years. but:

Imagine outsourcing all your thinking to a guy who still only has two Pokémon badges after 80 hours of gameplay.

Speaking as the former president of a writers' organization that had to more than once extract payment for writers from failing publishers: yuuuuup. Also, the comment elsewhere that corporations are inherently sociopaths and never your friends? Yuuuuup.

consider using these tools to fix your hearts or die

In memory of Loretta Swit, we watched "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" last night; I'd seen it many times, but never without any commercial interruptions. I was struck how it was indistinguishable from a feature film. Runtime, obviously, but outstanding production values — and, of course, the acting.

To anyone who does shit like this, I hope to God you never find out what it's like to have early "cringey" art you started at the age of 19 paraded out in public like it's a huge moral failing & the only thing deserving of mention in your life nearly 20 years later. This shit makes me fucking angry.
