Me: I’m really stressed out, I need to listen to something soothing. I know! Neil Young!
Me 10 minutes later: Goddammit. I forgot about Southern Man.

Heroic Saves, copy edit edition: Picking up that the entire issue is incorrectly paginated and the table of contents is therefore totally wrong.

I get it, and if I were in any way invested in the books, I might well feel the same. But this Maigret scratches much the same itch as Endeavour (though I think the latter is better).

I just started watching Maigret, about an absurdly handsome, brooding British detective pretending (badly) to be French, and I honestly couldn't care less how badly they're mangling the source material, this is exactly why we should save public television.

If Trump makes a China "deal" he'll be like a firefighter who sets fires just to be praised as a hero for putting them out.

Which would result in everyone's health care costs skyrocketing. Lying bastard.

Yeah the portrayal of the Bajoran resistance is certainly sympathetic given the brutality of the Cardassians. If anything, DS9 even casts doubt on the role of the Federation as entirely good guys, because semi-benevolent colonizers are still colonizers. DS9 is probably the most woke ST.

I've been a leftist Trekkie since before Joshua Tyler was born. This photo was taken 49 years ago. Let's bury his bullshit in actual evidence of women in fandom. Show your photos and tell your stories!

Joshua Tyler: Most Trekkies whom I, a man, know are men. Most men are Republicans. Ergo most Trekkies are Republicans. I am Spock.

People need to stop posting clips and memes with no verifiable source or background. That clip of ICE being brutal or Trump being a moron will have way more impact if it's credible and contextualized. We're no good to anyone if we're as gullible as the MAGAts.

There is an all out (non-violent) civil war in the American Jewish community. It has been brewing for a long time, but it is starker than it has ever been.

OMG I just discovered that TMBG Dial-a-Song is back (has been since 2014 -- why was I not told?) and the song that is on right now is a BANGER. (844) 387-6962

Who in their right mind would bring any small vessel anywhere near American waters right now?

Just to clear something up for MAGAts who seem confused: No Kings wasn't about election denial. We know damn well what happened in the election. You elected a fascist. We exercised our right to speak out in opposition. It's really not complicated.

The demolition of the White House was a direct, childish response to No Kings. The message: I am the king, this is my palace, and I’ll do with it whatever I damn well please. P

True to form, Trump responded to his critics by smearing poop everywhere and then breaking the White House.

MAGA can’t seem to decide whether I’m paid by Soros or I’m AI-generated.

The No Kings theme is amusingly ironic in Morristown, given the rally location across from a particular supermarket.

Thing about this movie is that in addition to being politically trenchant, it’s goddamn hilarious.
