Progressive. The dream is an AOC presidency.

Love anything sci-fi (if it has the word 'star' in it, I probably like and have seen it)/fantasy

My favorite podcasts are Science and Futurism with Isaac Arthur, History That Doesn't Suck, and Red Handed

There's simply no comparison, Mark Kelly is a squeaky clean American hero, an exceptional human, as is Gabby, and their perseverance through her attempted assassination is admirable. They are no strangers to threats from the right. Hegseth is a washed up drunk with a sketchy military history.

My favorite detail from Lord of the Rings: all these fancy, flowery names, and then Mount Doom. It's like Tolkien got tired of coming up with elaborate shit and just said fuck it.

This concept that Zelenskyy needs to grovel to Trump, to show the proper amount (whatever the fuck that is) of respect for the *possibility* of help is just disgusting. I hate that Zelenskyy has had to do this dance with this dunce for the past year now. And while abusive mind games are played,

These (Cinereous vultures) must be what the Skeksis are based on in Dark Crystal. (Just 80's kid midnight thoughts).

The gf said they look like old ladies in fur coats.

Just a couple highly relevant movies to watch these days, what with legalities about what a president can and cannot do, and illegal/immoral orders in the military.

And because they're damn good movies.

Nerd moment: I am perpetually sad that Star Trek Voyager and DS9 never came to Blu Ray or better format. Even the OG series and Next Generation got the premium treatment, but not those two series.

Sisko and Janeway deserve better.

DS9 is the best Trek series.

My aunt is a nurse practitioner. Has been for going on 35+ years, in the ER.

She's also a diehard MAGA Republican thanks to my uncle filling her head with nonsense.

She voted to cut the legs out from other nurses following in her footsteps.
Nursing Excluded as 'Professional' Degree By Department of Education
The Trump administration's "One Big Beautiful Bill" excludes nursing from graduate degree programs deemed as 'professional.' The move impacts loan funding, healthcare delivery, and patient care access...

I had posted the ShamWow guys' political ad, but deleted it. It's hateful and ugly and I don't want to see it on my timeline, even if I am pointing out how it's hateful and disgusting. I just can't do it.

💙 this saddens me greatly.
As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Gotta say, Arizona did mighty fine for itself in its two senators. I love both of those guys.

MAGA was always a lie. America was already great. Sure, she needed to make more changes to her healthcare system, still does, and immigration should be treated with compassion and needs simplification, but she wasn't in danger of actually falling apart, until Trump. Before him, we could rest easy

I hope Mark Kelly gets Secretary of Defense next, just as a fuck you to Kegbreath. Kelly for Defense, Jack Smith for AG.

Under Trump, we will likely see Ukraine lose and be forced to give up huge swathes of itself to end that war of choice by Putin.

We will also likely see Taiwan forcibly rejoined entirely to China, as Xi indicates to Trump today.

I can't put into words how much I detest our bully president who

A great legal day with Comey and James's cases being dismissed. It was beyond parody they were charged to begin with. Another humiliating loss for Trump.
