GQuuuuuuX TV airs like just after midnight on Tuesdays in Japan. Which means in my timezone WE HAVING MACHU MONDAYS LETS GOOOOOOOO

This is a 'cultural revolution', as Edward Luce of the FT put it last week, of the Chinese sort. Resistance will need to be equally ruthless. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Final Bijou. Her human will be home tomorrow.

I can’t even tell you how utterly ridiculous, chemistry-bereft, & embarrassing the Garak/Ziyal attempt was to discourage fans from shipping Garak/Bashir on DS9. (I have things to say about Kira/Odo too but I don’t hate it with the kind of flames that I’ve got for Garak/Ziyal. Anyway Queer Space 9!)

The VA also uses mail to send meds to vets as well. I've been lucky enough to live in two major cities with a VA hospital in driving range, but not everyone does

The Birdcage (1996) remains probably my favorite Hollywood movie. I do wonder if it could be made today.

“What would John Lewis do. He’d get arrested. Make them arrest you. I’ll get arrested with you” 😭 Show me more town hall videos of people standing up to corruption

I’ve been back in the city for a few months now but I’m getting missives from Upstate. It’s hard to overstate how deeply unpopular Hochul is right now. Both for her inaction on Adams but also for what’s happening with the prisons.

LRS— periodic recommendation of Kate Manne’s Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny to anyone who is getting into feminist theory. It’s a very good discussion of misogyny as a form of systemic oppression (rather than individualized hate) and not impossibly full of jargon. It’s philosophy you can read.

The way other female conservative influencers are turning on Ashley St. Clair, leaking her texts, and smearing her should be a sign to any conservative woman that a movement built on misogyny will not protect you. That your female peers will weaponize misogyny against you, too.

i love when theres an important prop in a star trek episode and it looks like shit

I'm rereading the First novels. Five pages in and already we've got a Federation officer telling the cadets to win the war so they can claim themselves some Zeon women... I appreciate Tomino having like every military force be awful forever (and right from the get-go!) but also,,,,

Look it’s warmer again. Why am I getting a nosebleed. Why.

Don’t think I’ve posted this on Bluesky, but a brilliant 1:1 Gundam Aerial head was built out of Gunpla runners for the 2022 Gundam Next Future event, just as WfM was airing ✨

all of central Brooklyn is playing a game of Egg The Cybertruck with this one guy who keeps street parking in the hood

Char has a line in Gquuu(uuu)x that uses the いい adjective —> き conjugation and learning the rule behind it now, I will become a menace.

I smell a bit like Bijou, I’m sure, so Minoushka keeps walking by and sniffing me and then walking away disapprovingly. She knows I am looking after other cats.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

At this point I’m willing to say that the rise of Christian nationalism is killing the Pope.

You’ll never get “class-first” people to understand this unfortunately. But I’m glad it’s being discussed more openly.

i absolutely believe this is where we are headed. this has always been the playbook. sartre wrote in 1945 that they delight in their own bad faith. in 2017, andrew anglin made it the official editorial policy for his nazi blog. it’s always “just a joke,” but the punchline is actual violence.

Another fevered story in the Daily Mail this morning attacking OnlyFans. The British tabloid press has been amping up antiporn stories, in what I suspect is a coordinated campaign to gin up public (and thus legislative) anger. We've seen this before.

Afternoon Bijou.

TRO hearing set on AP’s lawsuit against the Trump White House for Monday afternoon.

As Trump dismantles the agencies that monitor foreign influence operations, the national security concerns around TikTok remain. But how could we even know if TikTok's algorithm has been influenced, either by China or another adversarial actor? Our latest in @lawfare.bsky.social 🧵👇

This is entirely preventable. Science solved this problem more than 60 years ago.
