Spoiler free summary of first three episodes of #StarWars #Andor Season 2. Great start, but oof. So intense. 1/2

Will you be preparing your #FirstContactDay Salmon today? Time to put a little brightness into the air - share a #StarTrek memory, scene, or personal message that makes you smile :)

Trans people have always existed, Trans people will always exist and should not be treated as anything less than equal. On this #Transdayofvisibility let's lift up Trans people, let's continue to make spaces safe and act like the community I know we are xx #IDIC #LLAP

Cody York, the man behind the Tenesee book ban of Me and My Dysphoria Monster (and other trans positive children's literature), is bragging proudly about being called a nazi in the aftermath. My book was banned by a man who thinks you're "not trying hard enough" unless compared to a nazi.

#Babylon5, S3E05 "Voices of Authority" aired almost 30 years ago. Thinking about it a lot recently, specifically this scene. This dialogue has maybe aged a bit too well, @straczynski.bsky.social 😬 youtu.be/R-iMTDGzHKQ

Essential to remind that libraries are not just vital sources of knowledge and information but also excellent community centers devoted to under-served populations. Services for job-seekers, the blind, for senior citizens. They lend out books but also tech, cooking equipment, media players.

The shopping channel presidency.

Keeping up with the news makes you think that somewhere, locked in a room, there's an immortal and very much cursed Billy Joel chained to a computer, endlessly churning out a dot matrix printer paper tapestry of fresh WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE lyrics in some kind of Sisyphean punishment.

You know how in some wars, there's the side who says, "War has rules, we line up with our horses, point our guns, and fire at the same time," and then there's the other side that runs out of the trees with rusty knives and they start stabbing the fucking horses? The Democrats are the first group.

the most ashamed i have felt as an American was recognizing all my Iraqi friends had a specific facial expression when talking about dead loved ones that meant, "they were killed by your military but i don't want to say that because we're buds and i don't want you to feel bad"

Our friends over at @forcecenterpod.bsky.social are live now for a wonderful charity stream supporting @translifeline.bsky.social and St. Baldricks foundation - lots of fun Star Wars discussion to be had for 2 great causes! 🔗 below 👇 www.youtube.com/live/aTdpWhj...

what kind of shithole party boos Zelensky and cheers the Tate brothers

Holy crap. Not sure how Zelenskyy resisted the urge to deck those effin' morons.🤜😵

Amazing that the same book has been used by priests and nuns to explain their moral imperative to die protecting socialists being hunted by CIA backed militias and also by dudes in McMansions who think the creator of the universe considers it a priority to beat neurodivergent 8 year olds

Had totally missed that #Bloodywood had released another absolutely amazing song. youtu.be/A3C9NwGKgq4 😍

Apropos of nothing, but this song is on my mind much these days ... youtu.be/SJch7UW_z88 "The tenure of kings and their magistrates By good men it must be deposed The convenant made can be voided at once Disanoint him, take his crown" #tyranny

MARCO RUBIO IN 2017: "Foreign Aid is not charity. We must make sure it is well spent, but it is less than 1% of budget & critical to our national security.” MARCO RUBIO IN 2025: "USAID is a global charity."

The Silicon Valley billionaires & techno-feudal lords who are waging a capitalists' coup right now are rebelling against the people & the "free market" for rejecting them & the tech they need us to become dependent on. They're taking over the government to ensure we have no more choice in the matter

This ... is perfect. 🤣

First priority of fascists: destroy science and independent thought. They are not wasting time.

I'm not American, but I did write a book featuring the women codebreakers of Arlington Hall, and I am still horrified by this. So, because the US National Cryptologic Museum appears to have lost its fucking mind, here's some legendary US women codebreakers whose pics should be on that wall.. 🧵
