I’m watching the Thursday 4/2 7:30 pm @nasaartemis.bsky.social briefing. Who’s blowing on a jug and can they stop? Dogs are freaking out at home!

GO ARTEMIS!

Did we all just collectively forget that Boy Kibble was Doogie’s teen rapper friend? Good grief, people.

I absolutely loved #ProjectHailMary but the most implausible thing about it is 21st Century humanity coming together quickly to solve an extinction crisis.

It’s better since there’s no question of unaliving the original characters.

On Tuvok: keep ears, eyebrows, top half of uniform, insignia and delta (and hands for convenience)

On Chewie: keep mask, legs, feet, and bandolier

Accessories: tricorder, crossbow, attitude

I don’t know who needs a Star Trek/Star Wars mashup cosplay idea but Tuvokka is like right there.

Got bored. Made this. #iykyk

I have to admit “Supreme Court delivers blow to President over tariffs” is a refreshing change in headline to the usual “SCOTUS Blows POTUS.”

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Maybe we should bring back more than arrests?

Fair warning re The All-American Halftime Show: scientists have shown that even WATCHING Kid Rock can give you an STD.

Jay-Den: My mouth is on fire, and I never want it to go out.

Congrats and good luck, Ryan Coogler!

@sassterpiece.bsky.social returns to Twitch at 8pm CT on Tuesday January 27th for a comedy riff of ‘The Phantom’!

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. - 1984 by George Orwell

Look, I know its a logical fallacy to assume all recommendations from this administration are perilous - but emotionally speaking there's never been a better reason to become vegan. We're officially living in the Upside Down, where even the food pyramid has ben overturned.

The cultural works becoming public domain in 2026, from Betty Boop to Nancy Drew The original Betty Boop, the first four Nancy Drew books and Greta Garbo's first talkie are among the many works from 1930 that will be free to use, share and remake starting on Jan. 1.

La Fin du Monde to 2025

My annual “end of the world” beer - good riddance 2025. May the year 2026 find more sanity, courage, and compassion.

I swear I’m the only person in America wanting sliced green olives without the pimento bits. You can almost never find them at the grocery store, and when you do they’re in tiny jars. 😖

Emma Thompson in ‘Love Actually’

Alan Rickman in ‘Die Hard’

Gentle reminder about watching Alan Rickman’s holiday oeuvre: ‘Love Actually’ is always immediately followed by ‘Die Hard’ so Emma Thompson can thematically get her revenge.

And very predictably a certain gasbag can’t keep his vile mouth shut about the deaths of his critics. No reason to share the post. The devil needs no advocate.

Delores Fucking Umbridge

I know a lot of us (me included) are pissed at JKR right now, but if you want an allegory about what’s happening in education specifically and government generally in 2025, you can’t do better than HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX.

Wonderful perspective.

Intellivision is back! I was excited for the wireless controller upgrade until I remembered half the fun of playing an Intellivision was the stupid game of stretching the coiled controller cables as far as you could & letting go, destructively launching the bubble button controllers at the console.

Ho-Ho-Ho, who wouldn’t go?
Me. I’m the one who wouldn’t go up on the housetop. I don’t even like going into the attic. I don’t care if old St. Nick or Jesus Christ himself are up there. Miss me with your musical acrophobic dares.

Dear Tech Companies: until I can have a conversation with Lt Cmdr Data without boiling away humanity’s supply of fresh water, please stop suggesting I try out your A.I. tools.
