It’s always nice when a human looks relieved to see you.

Star Trek is a very serious sci-fi show about exploring space and the human condition. Also Star Trek: “remember that time Troi was a cake??”

It is very hard not to have a safe choice to use the bathroom in public.

It may be impossible to continue living, working, eating, etc without a valid driver's license if your life was built around driving and the assumption that your license wouldn't be invalidated overnight by the legislature.

A digital illustration done in a comics-like ink and color style. Portraits of two women flipped 180º from each other somewhat in the manner or a playing card. In the top left quadrant of the frame is a white woman with brunette hair done up in fluffy pigtails. She has pink lipstick and purplish eye shadow. In the lower right quadrant is a white woman with short ginger hair wearing a flower crown. She has redder lipstick and yellowish eyeshadow. Both women have heavy, thick black lines painted around their eyes. Both of their expressions are extremely neutral. The ginger woman is wearing a lime green dress that makes up the color of the background of the top half of the image behind the brunette, and the rest of the background is an intense blue. In the top right and lower left quadrants is loopy hand drawn lettering reading 'Maybe it will / Hap-pen today.' with the second half of the phrase inverted to match the orientation of the ginger woman. There are daisies set within the lettering. This was all because I wanted to draw the two main characters of the 1966 Czech film, 'Daisies'. It's really something and you should watch it.

One of the things I think back to as a sign of my untreated depression back in the early 2000s was watching twelve hours of Comedy Central and then finding out that they repeated the same programming for the next twelve hours.

I worked in affordable housing for a while and the amount of resources that go towards means testing is outrageous. Just give people homes!

I know it’s not literally this simple, but

GIVE HOMELESS PEOPLE HOMES

it’s literally this simple

I have left a bad employer due to frequent injury and poor treatment. I need raise $600 by March 4th to cover part of my rent. I'm looking for work that I can physically do. I'm a trans guy and a wannabe artist looking to restart my patreon and seeking job recs in pdx. Thank you for help ❤️

The first project my (now) husband and I worked on was a Don't Trust the B Zine. We have it here for free: televisionzine.gumroad.com/l/njued?_gl=...

At a restaurant last night. I walked past a table with two couples. One of the guys stopped me: "Settle an argument." I stopped and said, "She's right," pointing at his partner. I have no idea what I agreed to, but I'm siding with the random woman over the random man.

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"

No you don't.

If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

One of the nicer celebs I met as a journalist. Doesn't always mean anything, but he was genuinely kind and interested in my work the couple of times we chatted. Loved him in Don't Trust the B----. RIP

Cannot believe this man was allowed to steal SoCal’s water for his ecstasy factory.

Welcome to Last Week — Welcome to Television What I’ve been watching and thinking about television this week.

Starting a new feature on the website: Welcome to Last Week: www.welcometotelevision.net/welcome-to-l...

Is craftivism performative? Yes. That's the point. Resistance includes a public demonstration of opposition at accessible events with a low barrier to entry.

The red resistance hat pattern has raised $300k for the people of Minnesota. That's not effective?

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

"This document proves nothing!"

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Sometimes opening BlueSky is like sticking your hand out the window to check if it’s raining “Still dystopian outside with a side of brightly lit fascism? Right then.”

(Closes window, goes back to bed.)

Velma holding a stylus pen, crawling on the ground looking for something and saying "My video essays! I can't draw without my video essays!". On the ground are two youtube thumbnails of video essays "Line goes up -the problem with NFTs" by Dan Olson and "ROBLOX_OOF.MP3" by hbomberguy

They're a requirement

3 panels, starting with the Far Side Cow tools cartoon featuring a bipedal cow showing off a table with 4 crude misshapen objects on it. The following 2 panels, screenshots from I Think You Should Leave, feature a student in a desk asking, "what's her job?" The teacher, played by Tim Robinson, is visibly frustrated and replies by leaning forward and yelling, "COW TOOLS."

i can't know how to hear anymore about cow tools

Anatomy of an Alibi by Ashley Elston

Happy #SubRosaDay! Are you keeping it lit for Nana? 👻🕯

Do you mean Claudia Black? She's not doing the next season of the Star Wars show she's in, but I heard it's just because Disney doesn't have the good sense to pay her what she's worth.

It works on Farscape for 2 reasons (imo):

1: The shock is also that she's a human.

2: She looks as bedraggled as you'd expect someone who just fought hard to look.

I hate having emotions about reality; I’d much rather have them about Sanctuary Moon.

Sweetest in the Gale by Olivia Dade

the early stuff that social media was criticized for is the main stuff that makes it good. “I don’t care what someone had for lunch,” well neither do I, unless it’s that one person I exchanged info with one time at a party and now I’m seeing his sandwich posts—yeehaw let’s go! Romaine lettuce!
