If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Doctor Who", or "Transformers".

Genuinely upset that Lower Decks never did a reality show episode called Keeping Up With the Cardassians

This is how it's done.

He's an emotional toddler; why are y'all surprised he's potty-fixated?

I don't think that's how it works...

Reupping this for no specific reason:

Graphic detailing excessive force and detainments at a Wilder, Idaho event. Transcribed Text: Here’s what we know about yesterday’s events that took place at a family-friendly horse racing event in Wilder, Idaho: • Excessive uses of force were documented, including the detainment of women and children and the use of rubber bullets against unarmed protesters. • Several U.S. citizens were detained by ICE for immigration questions. • Multiple state and federal agencies were involved. ACLU Idaho

Text graphic criticizing government actions, with ACLU Idaho logo. Transcribed Text: Let’s call this what it is: A despicable and unacceptable display of force from our government aimed at traumatizing and abusing people in Wilder, and beyond. Events like this cause serious trauma to family members and children who have to watch their parents be detained without explanation. This show of force also deteriorates trust between Idahoans and law enforcement. ACLU Idaho

Text on a black background expressing concerns over law enforcement actions, ending with a demand for better accountability. Transcribed Text: No matter what nonviolent illegal activity the agencies suspected was occurring at this event, sending large numbers of heavily armed enforcement agents to terrorize a family-friendly event is unwarranted and several steps too far. We demand better from our elected officials and law enforcement agencies. ACLU Idaho

Digital graphic with information on how Idahoans can help, featuring ACLU Idaho's logo. Transcribed Text: What Idahoans can do: Donate to our Idaho Familias Assistance Fund. Support Idaho families who are currently separated from loved ones. Exercise your First Amendment rights. Speak out against these injustices and in support of your immigrant neighbors. We will share more about how you can help in the coming days. ACLU Idaho

Update on what happened in Wilder yesterday. We will continue sharing updates as we verify new information.

Opinion | It's time for corporate America to end DEI and choose its leaders on the basis of merit alone.

A religion that requires
the strong-arm
of the state to
ram its views
down the throats
of unwilling people
is a religion that
isn't worth
a damn.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

Wait, what...?

Zelda has been sounding the alarm on the dangers of AI for YEARS, long before the technology got to where it is now, because she's:

1) brilliant (go watch Lisa Frankenstein).
2) ridiculously smart.
3) experienced first-hand how fucking WEIRD people are about her Dad.

I think MAGA has lost the argument when they claim the Pope is an agent of Satan and they throw their support and beliefs behind a guy that ran around and partied with Jeffrey Epstein.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Yeah, well, this is what abusers do when they don't get their way. They destroy the house that everyone lives in because long-term consequences take a back seat to short-term indulgences of fear-inducing rage. We're in the smashing plates and taking a baseball bat to lamps phase of this now.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the US, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

Brendan Carr Is A Shameless Liar: Now Pretending He Didn’t Break The Law And Censor Comedians Critical Of His Dim, Unpopular Boss

Brendan Carr is fairly typical of a far right wing zealot, in that he has absolutely no compulsion about lying, constantly, about everything. The latest case in point:…

Breaking character: Ken White has a fantastic post about how "free speech culture" undermines free speech. It's something I've thought about a lot before, but Ken knows way more about it than I do and explains it really well.
