If the President of Ukraine, whose country depends in part on American support to continue withstanding a hostile invasion, can stand up to Donald Trump's bullying and firehose of bullshit, so can politicians and journalists in this country with far less to lose.

Wild to me that the dominant reaction on here seems to be that this is bad journalism because it treats a Trump voter as a human. I'm not a strategist but if you belong to a party that wants to win elections, shouldn't you regard folks like this as part of your next coalition instead of the enemy?

Bezos is not acting out of fear. He is participating in a political project that benefits him. This distinction is important.

I clearly haven't thought of or eaten this cereal in a while since I'm just now learning about its discontinuation, but the fact that it's gone forever is making me sad. This was a staple in our house growing up in the 90s.

Star Wars: X-Wing (Totally Games/LucasArts) was released 32 years ago. I absolutely loved this game, which had both narrative and strategic depth. And The Farlander Papers, a novella by Rusel DeMaria, back when short stories were sometimes included in the limited edition game boxes. 🤌

Just saw a post where someone said that use of em dashes (—) was a giveaway that you're using AI for writing. Uh, no. It could just mean you like to use em dashes.

Cheering on the death of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is just incomprehensible to me, unless you own a bank or something. Like you're just fucking stupid, sorry.

One of Musk’s DOGE employees was apparently a user on KiwiFarms, a hate website that existed almost solely to bully/harass minorities into suicide. Think of the worst person on 4Chan, working with 16K other equally awful people to ruin lives. That’s who’s in charge. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

listening to Trump talk tonight about US annexing Gaza and expelling the Palestinians to a place where they can live in "peace and harmony" and I'm sickly reminded of "The Final Pogrom" by Dan Simmons from The Last Dangerous Visions, edited by Harlan Ellison and @straczynski.bsky.social

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Before it's too late a reminder that none of what's happening is being done by "Trump." It's being done by Republicans. It's Republicans who blocked Trump from an impeachment conviction. It's Republicans who nominated Trump to be president. It's Republicans who declared him to have total immunity.

That Star Trek Beyond clip dumped me into this fan edit of the Enterprise launch from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, which is one of the few fan edits I've ever seen with homemade CGI that actually improves the sequence/film: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdRU...
