“This book is mostly cops dying in vivid detail. The characters at the beginning of the book quickly disappear and it becomes cops fantasizing about goblins with huge asses, and then dying over and over again until the book seems to run out of pages.” 👁️👄👁️

“Bluesky is too much of an echo chamber” have you spent five minutes in a political discussion here

this is the no fucking shit of all no fucking shits and yet barely anyone anywhere is saying it.

"Are you a bad enough dude to become a handsome Italian-American man about it"

There is a living room somewhere right now where an extremely Italian family is telling their extremely handsome son, "you are simply too handsome to not Do It. Look at that picture of Luigi and tell me you don't want to make him proud."

I'm deep in the Day-Glo weeds of writing a Choose Your Own Adventure book called DUNGEON CRAWL AT THE HAUNTED MALL. It's about a group of kids exploring an abandoned 80s mall that they soon learn was overtaken by a warlock from another dimension! Chaos and mayhem and encapsulated 80s perils galore!

We watched people standing in line for 8-10 hours to vote in Georgia, so they made it illegal to give them water. They called in bomb threats to majority Black polling places. They did everything they could to suppress the vote. And then folks are out here like, "well Georgia voted for this lol"

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

I found this an interesting but maddening read. Interesting for the research, but maddening for how it was written, focusing almost exclusively on children, using “he” as the pronoun for every hypothetical child, and spending a lot of time on how ADHD symptoms annoy parents and teachers

Chinese manufacturers are flooding TikTok with English speaking videos about how they make every name brand product and you can buy from them cheaper.

Aesthetically as well as ideologically, Big Tech has entered its Butthole Era With thanks to @legreehy.bsky.social, without whom I would never have noticed just how frequently the tech industry shows us its collective ass(hole)

Reminder: If someone calls themself a “pronatalist” and they aren’t advocating for policies that would make it easier to have and raise healthy children (eg: expanded child credits, UBI, better parental leave) they probably have much darker & shittier beliefs that they’re hiding behind cute babies

“Meet the ‘elite’ couples breeding to save mankind”

On this day in 2006, Neil banged out the tunes

Rodolfo Lanciani’s astounding Forma Urbis Romae (1901) was a map of the city of Rome in 46 heavily annotated sheets. But in the epic Rumsey Map Collection, you can now download the gigantic stitched 🧵 composite of all the sheets as a kmz (=Google Earth) file www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet... #HGIS

Voyager supercut of every time Janeway eats something she enjoys intercut with each war crime she commits, making it look like she just rampaged through the Delta Quadrant killing people for their cuisines

They should have kept Chakotay talking the way he did in Nemesis, all "sharply ponder his glimpse among the trunks, lest he be nullified in the soon after like his sisters and mothers" And have no one have any idea what the fuck he is saying for the rest of the series

Janeway: one of the more difficult concepts to grasp in temporal mechanics is that *whispers* I will kill everyone and everything you love if you mess with me Tom Paris: *looking around incredulously* no one else heard her say that? Janeway: *making a throat-slicing motion at him* Next item.

Voyager should have had an episode where Harry Kim is obviously in a relationship, people are teasing him about it like normal, and then it's revealed his object of affection is literally the number 3 Everyone like "woah now, that's a platonic object. You cannot fuck the concept of 3, Harry"

Janeway: no check this out she really does say it like that. Harry, power up the deflector. Seven, what kind of particles is it emitting? Seven: I'm detecting *spits* tetryon particles *Crew giggles* Janeway: what kind of particles? Seven: *sneers* tetryon *spits* particles, Captain.

The thing with unimatrix zero is that up til that point, you watch Seven learn how to be human again, her struggles and achievements over like 3 years to overcome her Borg upbringing. And then, "oops, she actually was totally human and normal from day 1, in her VR utopia dream"

In Asimov's Foundation slash End of History universe, Daneel lives for 20,000 years and behind the scenes both: - genocides literally every single alien species in the entire galaxy - deliberately influences humans to be intensely, reflexively distrustful of robots and AI, sabotaging attempts

Frank Cotton: what are you? Janeway: We are... explorers. Like you. Frank: Show me pleasure. Your pleasures. I will partake. Neelix: Well howdy, I know a fun board game with your name written all over- Frank, recoiling in horror: Woah what the fuck is that Janeway: That is the Ambassador.
