I've sadly entered a phase of my life where I'll be getting up at 3am as a more responsible choice

roadhouseendgame i was talking to my mom about cardassians and said something along the lines of what must it be like to be a cardassian civilian. like abstractly knowing the rest of the galaxy thinks of your species as 'the evil ones' and kinda sorta knowing your government runs labor camps and torture prisons and is a military empire, and it's a huge deal for everyone else in the galaxy, but you just like run a restaurant so it's not a big part of your daily life, so you just like, go about your day and make soup and don't think about it' and then halfway through my sentence i actually heard myself and then had to go sit down for like ten minutes. like sat down in a chair and stared at the floor for ten minutes

whoops

Whoever made this, it’s BRILLIANT.

Trump’s “Board of Peace.”

I just want to thank you for all the posting you've been doing. I know this must be difficult work but I really appreciate your aggregation of news from the region that is so much faster than what I'm seeing from major news outlets

“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me

Americans don't care about the deaths of American school children, of course they won't care about the deaths of Iranian school children. Violence feeds the soul of America and it's abhorrent

At least Carlin isn’t alive to see this.

Yet thou didst kill my children.

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically.

Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.

USA has been at war for 232 out of its 250 years of existence. It is the only nation to use atomic weapons. For 93% of its existence the USA has waged war or been in some war or another.

And now in year 250 it wages more war. An illegal attack on Iran. And I fear we’ll soon see more atomic weapons.

Even my squatty potty isn't safe from pedos.

Star Trek Enterprise scene. It's an image of the White House in Washington, DC. Four long and tall Nazi banners in bright red are draped across the front and a Nazi flag on a flagpole flies above the building. A tank is stationed on the front lawn. No caption. RIP Renee Good. RIP Alex Pretti. Fuck ICE.

Prometheus says “hot take” and Greek gods respond “no give that back.”

As a former Bard student this Epstein connection gives me such ick.

The gasp I gusped woke my dog out of a dead sleep. This was not a step I was expecting. Really continues to prove what a sham justice is in the USA since no one is being held accountable here

YouTube being down is very bizarre. My background music for reading has disappeared

Why Transgender People Are Not Feeling Gavin Newsom We have seen this song and dance before.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.

I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.

There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

An image of a DS9-themed Valentine with Chief O'Brien's face framed by hearts. He is winking at the camera. The text reads: "I'll be your union man," a play on O'Brien's "he was more than a hero, he was a union man" moment from the show.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone who isn't a Nazi, and especially to the trekkies.

Seeing Ian McKellan perform Macbeth in London was a true highlight of my last decade. I'm so glad he did this

Edited screenshot from Star Trek Voyager. Tuvok looks forward with typical Vulcan impassivity as he speaks. Caption: "The logical conclusion is fuck ICE."

Still from Star Trek Voyager episode Threshold depicting two amphibious creatures with catfish barbels in a tropical environment

On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

Also, my dog got pooped on by a bird so he's a lucky boy

I saw a bobcat this morning. It was nice

CHARLES RAFFERTY The Problem with Early Warnings People don't like to leave a party unless the house is actually on fire. Even then, if the flames are far enough away to be pretty, they'll finish their drink, take one more pass at the hors d'oeuvres. How things happen has always been unclear. Hurricanes begin in a place where no one lives. Agents of the government start to wear masks. Fascism is a word my neighbors won't use yet. They are following the law, they say, and the sirens are coming for someone else.

This hit so fucking hard today.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

If this is what they do when they're out on the street with people pointing cameras at them, what do you think is happening inside the ICE prison camps that they keep denying Members of Congress access to?

They didn’t just shoot him. They executed him. It’s fascism. They’re modern Nazis. They’re criminals. Any reasonable government would impeach and arrest the president now, today.

7 Democrats — with the blessing of Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic leadership — just voted with Republicans to give these agents even more money
