"National boundaries are not evident when we view the Earth from space. Fanatical ethnic, religious or national identities are difficult to support when we see our planet as a fragile blue crescent fading to an inconspicuous point of light against the bastion and citadel of the stars." - Carl Sagan

Still can’t believe we are living simultaneously in both the worst *and* silliest timelines.

How I imagine Trump's defence strategy will go when he is eventually tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity:

Smart strategy by the Trump administration: getting away with doing insanely evil things by also doing them in a silly, ridiculous way.

A young lady helping an old woman with a walker.

The old woman says ‘There uses to be 52 episodes of Star Trek a year, every year.’

The young woman replies ‘sure grandma, let’s get you to bed’

I find it hard, and I don’t even live in America.

Anyone else finding it kinda hard to get work done as our country descends into fascism?

I know there are more pressing issues going on in the world right now, but I'm still waiting for my surrealist young Tom Waits biopic starring Austin Butler, directed by Jim Jarmusch.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

For me it will always be that time Norm MacDonald both derailed *and* saved the interview simultaneously.

Apart from the obvious (that MedBeds are bullshit) can tell this is AI-generated because Trump's diction, cadence of speech, and pronunciations of words are all far better than they are in real life.

Alex Kaplan @alkapdc.bsky.social · 13d

Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...

If Woody Guthrie were alive today he would be writing so many frigging songs about Trump & Epstein, and releasing the Epstein Files.
