Now that I see John Noble is on #severance this confirms my half-baked theory that this is just Fringe fan fiction. I’m delighted

This. Falling for disinformation isn't necessarily due to a lack of critical thinking, and definitely isn't a sign of low intelligence. It deliberately feeds into primal instincts, which everyone has. Comprehensive research skills and the ability to counteract biases isn't something widely taught.

I had two of these installed 😬

Tonight’s impulse purchase:

I suppose this is one way to look at it. As a pessimist, I can be convinced.

Listen up.

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

Let every republican (and dem) who voted for any of the fascist legislation be met with an angry mob everywhere they go. Maybe bring pitchforks next time tbh. I would say we are now clear to ready the pitchforks.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

For someone who claims to creating “efficiency”, El*n mHusk seems to be the embodiment of waste. He wastes people’s time and energy. He flits about unplugging shit and creating chaos. Everything he’s done is based on “deleting” things that trigger him. There is no strategy involved at all.

This encapsulates so much of what I’ve been thinking about these past years. Stupid-evil indeed.

The "it's a distraction", "he's not serious", "just joking" responses I know exist to make us doubt our own senses. They are designed to make us question our own perceptions and truths instead of questioning those in power.

I appreciate the ppl in tech + design who taught me things that apply quite well elsewhere in life: - Always get context. - Don’t be afraid to ask questions. - Never treat assumptions as fact. - Tell your biases “yes, or”. - Get to the point. - Life is too short, move on.

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

The Dems have been giving longwinded Frasier vibes lately. "I had the perfect retort, but I decided to set it to verse. I am now in the process of composing a poem that will drive you to your knees!"

NY Times repeatedly edited the headline. First changing it from "trans man" to "man", then changing it from "man" to "person". There is no innocent or flattering way to read this. This is simply post-death erasure, because the Times accepts and supports Trump's assertion that we do not exist.

I fear that all those harmless jokes about moments in time being “the worst timeline” have helped the actual worst timeline to occur.

It is if you happen to be a billionaire with zero empathy and laser focus on acquiring more and more wealth no matter the human cost. I think ppl are starting to fully understand what we’re dealing with, but my concern stands that it may be too late for the realization to matter.

i think many people are still thinking about this as a problem that goes away in four years. this is not a problem that goes away in four years.

It's nice to see a President with moral integrity and strength of character. #StarTrek #UndiscoveredCountry #NotAboveTheLaw #WhereLawEndsTyrannyBegins

playing violins on sinking ships is out playing sick house remixes is in

I assure you, they will use these laws as pretext to arrest Trans Women.

happy uh (checks calendar) hug and kiss a dinosaur day

Things I hate about social media journalism (even here) - Posts that cite a source, but no link back to the source - Out of context screenshots (sorry, can’t trust images in the era of AI) - Quote posts that, again, have no link to the cited source - Cited sources that link to weirdass websites

Apropos of nothing, I cancelled a bunch of subscriptions I didn’t realize I still had ongoing. No more corporate blood sucking disguised as productivity and entertainment. …well, *less* blood sucking, at least.

United States of Russia, comrades

so my dear friend @josemolinatv.bsky.social told me that to publish this essay about giving notes as a #screenwriting #screenwriter who does #tvwriting would be career suicide - you tell me! okbjgm.weebly.com/uploads/3/1/...

As someone who once lived in a homeless shelter for the longest 2 months of my life, the reality I’ve seen is that there is very little expeditious help for the displaced. What help exists is generally gated by perpetually full waitlists. Many simply give up.

This is what it means when you hear someone babble about "woke". They just don't want to see "otherness" anymore. They never did. "Woke" straight, white, abled people have a target on their back as well. They don't follow the programming, thus are a threat. Any glitch is seen as a problem. Good.

Just beyond embarrassing. My condolences to whoever has to unfuck all of this, assuming anyone ever does…
