I wanted to like it. I’m often more tolerant that most of many big creative misses in pursuit of just enjoying the ride as presented. I’ve leaned into all the NewTrek (some much better than other), but Section 31 was empirically Not Good.

The Secretary should disavow this entire operation.

Bonus - his Jersey businesses may lose their liquor licenses over his new status as a sentenced felon.

If you want your murder to be met with universal declarations of shock, sadness, and admiration, don't devote your life to denying medical coverage to the sick and injured.

It is damp and the main characters are trying to escape. IIRC, according to @da7e.bsky.social it counts as a dungeon movie!

Well, I mean, that’s what they mean, isn’t it?

Remember in 2019 when Twitter had to scuttle their hate speech filtering because it was catching too many prominent Republicans?

Not all of the available block lists are what they look like. The one mentioned here came up for me in recommendations, but I couldn’t see it because I’d been blocked by the owner. (Picture rather than link in case you can’t see the original post. )

Whoever publishes the eventually leaked report should just imply Alito gave it to them. With his track record of likely leaks, who could challenge that claim?

“Bluesky is an echo chamber!”

Our Reply: Echo chamber? Nah, we prefer to call it surround sound for facts.

Automated block lists and content labeling, what now?! Total experience changer. Love it.

we fixed acid rain! we fixed the ozone layer! we beat polio! we’ve rescued scores of species from the brink of extinction! the despair many of us feel about climate change isn’t that it’s too big to fix. it’s that we know it is fixable but we’re being thwarted by greedy ghouls at every turn.

Just gonna replace melted Robert E. Lee face with melted Darth Vader helmet

Donald Trump didn't want to wear a mask because it might smudge his makeup, so the Republican Party helped him kill a million Americans.

That's the GOP in a nutshell.

Aight - it’s been a week. I totally enjoyed “President Sheridan and the Multiverse of Zathras” for the semi-standalone semi-elseworlds roller coaster ride that it was.

Even being what it was, it wasn’t flawless. But it was a lovely visit with old friends on an musing adventure.

I have a fun quippy B5:TRH comment, that’s only trivially a spoiler (beyond awareness of the premise), and I can’t find it anywhere else online. So I think it’s original. But I’ll wait a bit before posting in open text.

Every single Republican voter puts work into powering this machine designed to destroy our nation.

Every single Republican voter puts effort into supporting and empowering this coalition of sworn enemies of our nation and their generations long campaign to undermine and destabilize our every institution.

A motion for a protective order embedding Trump’s threatening social media post.

From truth social to a prosecution motion in three hours flat.

Went out to dinner last night in town by the local cineplex. The Fandagnum ticket service said the vast majority of remaining a seats for shows of Barbie for the evening (16 shows IIRC) were sold. The people watching was a delight - lots of pink and adults and kids, all dolled up for the show.

One of the biggest problems of my wide-brimmed hat and playing on my phone when I’m out on a walk - is that I occasionally get smacked in the head by a low branch.

This one in particular gets me every couple of months - frequent enough to remember after it happens, but not quite to watch out.

What a welcoming experience! I got “we’ll actually’d” at for the algorithm comment on my first post, and then blocked for pointing out that he was doing more or less what he was saying didn’t happened. You all can prolly judge the exchange, but being blocked, I can’t see it anymore. #sadtombone

So what you’re saying is that I’m getting some kind of boosted visibility for having posted. 🤔 I didn’t say it was nefarious, there wasn’t an accusation. Just a declaration that I was being a good consumer citizen by providing content - which quite literally did result in additional engagement! 👍

Are you suggesting that the content and order of the timeline feed is the only ranking or promotion decision that happens anywhere in this ecosystem?

Seems suspicious if true, that you’d have seen this post of mine to be able to reply to it. 🤷‍♀️

I’m too old and tired to be scouring a sparsely-populated new platform for hard to find connections. Holler when you’re here, eh?

[Also, feeding the algorithm and being a good consumer citizen by providing content.]
