Welcome, nerds. I mostly post memes and complain about plot holes in old scifi TV shows that were filmed on a budget of $35

Even North Korea knows better than to let their soldiers go hungry.

If this was happening in any other country you'd have journalists and analysts discussing risks of state failure

it would probably be sorta hard for just anyone to do it *this well* because it requires you to actually be normal about trans people, but still it feels important to state for the record that WE ARE NOT HARD TO STAND UP FOR AND ANY OF THEM COULD DO IT.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

If I see you posting AI slop, it's an instant block. Even if you think it's cute or says a lot about society. If you are purporting that some AI slop is real news, I will report you for misinformation, and then block you. Sloppers should be marginalised.

I’m kinda over the MCU but also I would go broke watching a Guardians of the Galaxy prequel about Rocket planning elaborate heists that inevitably end with him having to break out of another prison.

Confession: I read every single book in The Black Stallion series when I was 10. Walter Farley doesn't have half the horse girl energy as JRR Tolkien.

Tolkien was a horse girl:

1. All the horses in LotR have names
2. Some have elaborate backstories
3. The wizard has a ⋆˖⁺‧₊ magical ₊‧⁺˖⋆ horse
4. If we meet a horse in book one, you better believe we’re getting an update on their wellbeing in book 3

The plot of the next Simpsons movie should be the kids at Springfield Elementary digging up a time capsule that was buried 40 years ago and realizing they're the same children who buried it because their world hasn't aged in 4 decades.

In the criminal justice system, stargate-based offenses are considered especially heinous.

In Area 52, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Stargate SVU. These are their stories?

In my 30 years as a #StarTrek researcher, this will forever be one of my coolest finds: This screenshot from #StarTrekTNG's "Qpid" shows both 24th/25th century Starfleet Captain Jean-Luc Picard ⬅️ and 20th/21st century thespian Sir Patrick Stewart ➡️ on screen at the same time. How, you ask? 🧵 1/6

To be clear, I don't think this is literally true. I doubt we're doing the WHCD ever again.

Birds Are Dinosaurs 🦢=🦖 @birdsaredinosaurs.bsky.social · 5d

Bari Weiss, seated with journalism's literati, has the awkward realization at the WH Correspondence Dinner. She and the network executive at her right arm are both dating Black Phillip. The news anchor to her left is also seeing Black Phillip. Everyone in the room is swiping right on Black Phillip.

Black Phillip from the film "The Witch," sometimes also spelled "The VVitch" because it's set in a distant past before the invention of the letter W. Black Phillip is a ebony furred goat with a sinister aura.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

I've read it. There's no mattress or Satan, but I'll admit it's in the ballpark.

The Internet is like radiation exposure: safe only with moderate exposure. That's why everyone who runs a website eventually turns into a villain from Captain Planet.

That same argument could have been used for minstrel shows.

I really don't think there's any excuse for this in 2025 and we should shame people who do it anyway.

I've been reading this comic for a few years now, but I'm blocking this account in a few hours, assuming she doesn't block me first. But for future readers edification, this is Litterbox Comics.

Imagine making a Harry Potter comic in 2025.

You're on the Internet. You know that the author is a hateful bigot. But that doesn't bother you. And you're okay with telling everyone that you're fine with transphobia.
