the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

"Whose side are you on?"

The side of the children.

"But what about--"

The children.

"Even if--"

The. Children.

"Well, *this* doesn't *really* affect the--"

Yes it does, and I remain on their side.

"It's more nuanced than you--"

Nope. Still on the side of the children. All of them.

I really think somebody needs to sit the tech bros down and explain to them that they talked to the computer in Star Trek because that made for better tv than typing, not because it's actually a good UI strategy

I don't want to talk to my laptop! I like using a mouse and keypad shortcuts. I don't want anything multi-modal or AI. I want something that's basically a fancy typewriter that also let's me watch movies and play The Sims. I wish Windows would leave me the fuck alone with all this extra shit.

Trump is online positively wailing about this picture, because he is weak and vain and cares exponentially more about himself than anything else. That said, if there is something Trump does not want America to see, that means it is probably something every American needs to see. Please share widely.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Earlier this year, two Republicans were sworn in less than 24 hours after their elections.

It’s been 20 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her race and Speaker Johnson’s still dragging his feet.

It’s time to swear her in.

@JennyENicholson

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

I feel bad for Dan. He's had to call a lot of awful baseball over the last decade. The Tigers legitimately had a shot this year and squandered it.
We were all just as frustrated.

Last night's game was exhausting. Thankfully it's now football season and my teams are good. The Red Wings are also here.
