two images of the human body's circulatory system. One of them with good cable management

The human circulatory system, before and after proper cable management.

One of my absolute pet peeves, people disingenuously acting like a jargony phrase used in, for example, an academic context, is an example of how Democrats/liberals/progressives/the left are broadly-speaking “out of touch”

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

‘All dogs go to heaven’

Assertions of cis male physical dominance being absolute and inevitable (which is JUST NOT TRUE, you can’t compare the top of one bell curve with all of another bell curve) is what THE PATRIARCHY WANTS FROM YOU.

Because it makes anyone not a cis man feel like there’s no point in resisting.

If you aren't watching the return of Artemis II, I completely understand. I'm watching, but I'm nervous about the heatshield.

On Artemis I, it had problems, so they made changes to the flight path, but it's the same heat shield. I won't feel secure until they are on the ground.

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide.

Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session.

Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

I think people are allowed to draw conclusions about the American people based on their decision to put this man in office bsky.app/profile/pear...

The guest on a movie podcast I love opened up by trashing The Last Jedi and I have no interest in hearing an old white man with those opinions talk about art. First time in nearly a decade I scrubbed the show to the end without listening.

Jonathan Majors Fell Through A Window On Daily Wire Action Flick, Leading Crew To Walk Off Set; Producers Say They “Don’t Negotiate With Communists” Details about the safety concerns that led to the strike on the set of Jonathan Majors' Daily Wire action film have emerged.

This article is fantastic and horrifying

Hard to overstate how obvious this was in Minneapolis. They'd roll around the neighborhood in full gear, doing nothing immigration-related at all, wait for angry crowds to gather, and then attack them with tear gas and pepper spray! It was a violent siege and the feds owe us billions in reparations.

Whelp, did something I haven’t done in a bit…submitted a short story.

I think he’s just a bitter hack.

I’m not giving him money

Andy Weir went on a far right misogynist bigot’s stream (Critical Drinker) to smear new Star Trek.

I fucking KNEW that hack was a POS.

Welp I thankfully don’t have to see that fucking movie now.

The Mexico Noir series that I curated for VIFF opened Thursday & I was there to give a chat. We began with "La Otra" and will be screening 15 classic films from Mexico's Golden Age. Mexico Noir runs in Vancouver until April 9. Experience classic noir on the big screen: viff.org/series/mexic...

Just acknowledge that it’s not unreasonable for anyone seeing it to assume you’re a bigot without asking.

I have had conversations with people who wanted me to know they had raised their brother from the dead, that the telephone repair guy was a literal demon, and that their salsa dancing group was poisoning their Coke Zero for saying indelicate things about Cesar Chavez.

All different people.

I’m going to ‘well actually’ you, sorry: Florida has very lax identity protections for people in the carceral system, so we just HEAR about the freaky shit from there.

Trust me, this stuff happens everywhere, it’s just not released to the public.

Daredevil Born Again thoughts, from my own particular hyper fixations:

Chris Brewster is no longer Cox’s stunt double and it shows.

There is a chaotic incoherence to some of the smaller fights that I think comes from neither of the new doubles being as physically competent as Brewster.

Seems to me that’s just a way to dismiss either being a bad person yourself or not doing anything to help the people around you.

3/3

What I find WAY more interesting to dissect is how you can have immense power AND still be a good person? How do you change? How do you stay the same?

THAT’S interesting, not the venal, leering, self-serving need to constantly declare ‘THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A GOOD PERSON’. 2/3
