My fave DS9 episode is when Garak finally snaps, and recruits O'Brien and Odo to murder Bashir. Season 4 if i recall correctly

Most people - myself included - end up just taking the bullshit, seeing you standup for yourself is encouragement for me to do the same

This absolutely sucks, but I do enjoy reading your rebukes to these dumb fucks who clearly know less about the rules and regs they're meant to be upholding than you. It's absolutely shit you need to write them in the first place tho, they should be compensating you for your time at this point.

July 2015. A senior VIC policeman and a United Patriots Front fanboy clasp hands outside VIC state parliament after another successful Islamophobic rally, while another fanboy in obligatory speed-dealer sunnies clenches his fist & smiles at the camera.

1993: Stephen Lawrence is murdered by racists.
1999: The MacPherson Inquiry recommends recording of non-crime hate incidents.
2005: After the Discrimination Law Review, non-crime hate incidents begin being recorded by UK police.
2025: Mainstream transphobia ends a harm reduction policy that worked.

Met Police says it will no longer investigate non-crime hate incidents

The move comes as an investigation into Father Ted creator Graham Linehan is dropped, after his arrest over a post on X.

No-one says anything about Dax's hair, what were they thinking?

lol, when you see a Galaxy class ship that isn't the Enterprise in the DS9 S2 finale it's so obviously doomed. And they all have families on boar. It's a pretty catastrophic thing that barely gets a nod in the show

Can't bring myself to watch the Chief O'Brien Cardassian torture episode of DS9. Second skip after the Grand Negus episode, which is pretty good for a 90s era Trek rewatch.

Persecution of drug users is state mandated discrimination. Prohibition is bigotry.

they invented a technology that makes you worse at your job while convincing you you’re better at it. also your boss has to believe you’re better at it or else the entire economy explodes. they made the sophon from three body problem in real life

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

Just How Bad Would an AI Bubble Be?

The entire U.S. economy is being propped up by the promise of productivity gains that seem very far from materializing.

Former Neighbours star Nicola Charles got kicked in the head by a mule named COVID-19 & reinvented herself as a binfluencer w strong opinions about (((Soros))) & Co..

'My instincts are telling me that covered faces, the burning of Police effifies & the celebrating of terrorists is actually an effort to incite violence from the peaceful March for Australia Aussies.
It didn't work.
I am pretty sure the dark forces behind this, Soros, Gates & Bankers are more than happy to see violence against the police to achieve their goals.
The colonisation of #Australia by a Regime not welcome by the people but being coddled by our Politicians.
I am proud of Australians for not taking the bait.
This is why Australia is so great.
I would be surprised if the covered people in this photo aren't the secret service.
You are an abomination.'

Still from a propaganda vid by Leon 'kofy_time' Kofmansky titled 'Melbourne Chaos: Antifa/Pro-Hamas Agitators', which labels as such opponents of the March for White Australia in MEL/Naarm on OCT 19, 2025 (vid also used by the Herald Sun in its reportage).

The fact that Pipo-kun's family members are all depicted wearing actual clothes confirms that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police's freaky little mascot deliberately chooses to wear nothing but a seatbelt, presumably for fetish reasons.

I was out of Israeli prison in five days. They’ve been holding Dr Hussam Abu Safiya for nearly a year without charge, along with thousands more Palestinians. A ceasefire without an end to occupation and accountability for Israel will just be a slower continuation of the genocide

It is my understanding that David Wakeham @wakehamamr.bsky.social died on 7 August by suicide, secondary to housing instability caused by the apathy and malice of the Queensland and Australian Governments.

I met David once, at a Senate inquiry. I did not know them well. They deserved better.
