🎶Pour, oh, pour the pirate sherry,
Fill, O fill the pirate glass!
And, to make us more than merry,
Let the pirate bumper pass!🎶

This talk is as American as apple pie. They said the same thing about Japanese-American citizens and did round them up to be sent to camps. The speech would be the same again Chinese-Americans if there was a conflict over Taiwan.

This means that the existence of Star Trek is canon in the Columboverse. Just Ward Fowler played Kirk. I also feel that Fowler being a murderer would have killed the franchise off. 😁

Pity the fandom hasn't evolved as quickly and that portions have gone retrograde.

Exactly how I feel when I watch Grosse Point Blank and see Monrovia. 😁

Listened and did the quiz while wrapping presents. This new(ish) American fan got 6 of 33. It would have been 7, but I chose my favorite Magdalena for #19 instead of rhe correct Magdalena. 😁 Thanks for all the episodes.

In roller derby, the Fox40 is the standard officials whistle. Its rated to 115db. I recommend the CMG as the mouth guard protects your teeth. Also, a breakaway lanyard is a good choice in the event someone tries to grab it (and you).

Boy Mamdani's race is really a vivid reminder that anti-Islamic bigotry is 100% accepted in US public discourse. People don't even bother dog whistling, it's just right out in the open.

I've said it before and I'll say it again now:

Live your life in such a way that millions of people do not rightfully have reason to cheer your death.

@neolithicsheep.bsky.social Did you end up ordering? I need to send you $$$.

In for 2. Let me know when/where to send the $$ and an address.

If we get it under $10 each, put me down for 2. Legit.

There is NO way the Republican President knows or understands the word "allegory" as anything other than a large amphibious reptile that shows up on the golf courses at Mar-A-Lago sometimes.

I feel that's unfair to demons. Presumably, demons don't have a choice. ICE Agents make a clear moral choice.

I am getting my drill out for any of those I receive.

Greta Thunberg: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story. What happened here was Israel… continuing to worsen and escalate their genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an...

Hey, @jay.bsky.team.

As a disabled person, it's disheartening to see one of the foundational pushers of alt text, a Black STEM voice, a queer advocate, and a huge voice for the disabled community gone over a poor taste joke.

Having Link here is good for so many people.

Please reconsider?

That is the natural path for Temu Goebbels.

Love this. Humour with a historical sentiment.

I​t’s Time to Broaden Our Definition of Political Violence In conversations about Charlie Kirk’s murder, pundits and politicians are using the term ​in troublingly narrow ways.

However you define political violence, the right is responsible for much more of it.

The Anti-Defamation League (hardly a left-wing org!) found that all “domestic extremist-related killings” in 2022 were done by right-wing extremists, the vast majority (84%) white supremacists. trib.al/ycZNDE1

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

🎶"Number three
You have the right to free Speech
As long as
You're not dumb enough to actually try it" 🎶
- The Clash, "Know Your Rights"

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.

You were moved to do this by pride and by hate. Is it any wonder the result was ruin?

I really want a Farragut/Bellerophon ('Billy Ruffian') technical manual after that episode.

FFS, people like that are so tunnel visioned and self-centered. Hi they not remember:
"Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses."

We have been doing that in Los Angeles since the start and you've seen the result. Peaceful protests, ignored, villainised, and assaulted by law enforcement. Police departments here refusing to interfere and providing support. Troops deployed. What's the support from the rest of the nation?

The weakness of the article is that this isn't just a collapse due to age or unknown forces. It's an intentional result of reactionary forces tearing out the underpinnings of the constitutional system. It's not like these weren't openly stated plans and design.
