constructive iconoclast

Living in the present is making me feel for Suetonius. The plight of a historian going "OK this is going to sound like a screed but I swear it's actually a carefully-curated tiny selection of the deranged stuff he did, I could have written so much more"

Naming a black and white film:

Girl With Hyacinths, now on @criterionchannl.bsky.social

you're telling me somebody was singing in Spanish at a Superbowl held in Santa Clara in territory that used to be Mexico? not on my watch

Macbeth: SHIT

maybe some kind of "user review" option where you could at least leave a thumbs-down or 💔 emoji for people - some kind of warning for yourself or others

I helped playtest this and can confirm it is both a hilarious time and a good way to get the creative juices flowing as you try to out-storytell your friends. 😂

same, yeah bsky.app/profile/gwen...

Eagle Scout here also - and I'd love for this to happen, yeah

Kermit, his arms flailing

punxsutawney phil (just had visions of pestilence, blood rain, malignant false idols, stillborn livestock): uuuh 6 more weeks of winter

Played our new jam game? Free to play in browser!

Movie idea:
"Inception" meets "Paprika"

tell me you haven't seen "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" without TELLING me 😉

the Cultural Relevance of Trek sounds like an interesting class but I feel a little bit like all the students would probably know just as much as the prof, hehe

Tell me 5 classes you took in college. 👨‍🎓

for me:
Feminist Intro to the Bible
PChem
International Human Rights
Group Theory, Quantum, and Spectroscopy
Poe Goes South: the Fantastic Short Story in Latin America

I'll allow "sammies" but "sarnies" is right out

newest ICE recruit

the new "let out a breath she didn't know she was holding"?

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

I dunno, I just feel like ICE shooting Noah Wyle in the street was a bad PR move. Just because the guy wouldn't share his Lead Actor Emmy with Trump, too, geez

came here to post this - finally somebody with the right link and not just trolling

one the one hand, fedposting is a bad idea, but on the other hand, I'm sure the folks in power would quite readily just get rid of everyone with a Bluesky account and not care too much about finding a particular justification

"Didn't you learn your lesson?" They keep asking, but they're wrong, we fucking DID learn

Am I the only one who keeps expecting this to happen in The Beauty

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

seriously, it looks like as a firearm instructor he tried for two in the chest and one in the head - if he'd stopped at one or two shots she'd be alive but that head shot being the last, point blank, from the side, after the car was past him - I think you're right legally and spiritually
