Ageism is out of the closet. & to all who think it’s justifiedβ€”take it from someone whose existence was illegal in half the U.S. when he was born, b/c his mom was black & his father was white: every bigot ever told themselves their hate for whole groups of humans they don’t even know is justified

Hey @msnowcomms.bsky.social
I like to listen to news after work, and after my local news turns to sports crap at 6:30 I wish I could listen to MS now But @arimelber.bsky.social keeps having these crap guests that I do not need to hear like a former exec from Goldman Sachs. & β€œThe Weeknight” is a no

Can we replace all posts about our current political situation with pics of amazing giant slugs? Way more palatable 🐌

Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller.

First panel, Nancy talking to a logger sawing a tree and pointing to a carved piece of trunk.

Nancy: Can I have that piece? My boy friend carved it.
Logger: Sure.

Second panel, Nancy is watching the log burn in the fire place.
Nancy: I'm mad at him.

Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.

β€œEvery Republican president comes to office, cuts benefits for the poor, cuts taxes for the rich, raises prices, and then bombs a Middle East country.”

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social explains how Trump’s β€˜anti-war’ campaign was a lie, noting the president has bombed seven countries in his second term.

I am working on a story gathering the feelings from DC Comics employees about the recent news about the ownership changes coming to WBD.

If you are a current DC staffer open to talking (even if not for attribution), DM me here, or at chris.arrant@reedpop.com or chris.arrant@gmail.com.

Saw this recently on the 24/7 Alfred Hitchcock channel on Amazon Prime. It’s an outstanding episode of a fun series, especially great are Alfred’s intros & outros.

While you’re asking, how about the elevator zapping big gun instead?

You’re referring to her questions about trans athletes in her book. Admittedly not great. Not the same as actively demonizing trans kids & literally legislating to take away their voting & medical rights.

But that’s what YOU chose, when you didn’t oppose Epstein’s best friend becoming president.

Harris and Walz have worked with our trans community for decades | A4TE

…In particular, anti-trans violence was endangering our community across the nation. Unlike the vast majority of elected officials, Kamala Harris listened to trans people back then – and she took action to make our community safer…”

Ok. β€œIn the early 2000s, trans rights were far from being part of the national conversation. Politically, it was difficult to get any lawmakers to listen to the concerns of our community, and our most basic needs were not being met…

Keep telling yourself that, while people are bombed, children die from the ending of USAID, American women & children go hungry for lack of SNAP, trans ppl are robbed of their rights, & people are kidnapped off the streets by masked secret police.

Love Logopolis. I watch a little of it whenever I notice it’s playing on @plutotvca.bsky.social . Ridiculous plot, but such an interesting tone for the greatest Doctor’s final adventure. Great pairing with 5’s first ep, β€œCastrovalva”

…in that we love them both. β€οΈπŸ––

They start the sameβ€”prodigies looking for a space father. The Doctor never let Adric in, so Adric bravely pursued him to his death.
Wesley was finally accepted by Picard, & with that strength, chose his own disparate path.

Including all those people who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a black woman because of 1 issue.
They saved absolutely 0 lives.
And if you ask them about it, they’re still in denial that all this is partly their responsibility. They knew their privilege would protect them so they didn’t care.

Yes.
Also on TOS they had breakable drinking glasses, though I always told myself if it was transparent aluminum you could kill someone with it, slice them like biscuits, but the breakable glasses were safety glass.

What is your Star Trek project that only you would love?

A stylized animated sci-fi/action/drama Star Trek like Batman: TAS that takes place years after Nemesis but is a mostly original story/crew/ship with VERY limited cameos/easter eggs/crossovers, stand alone eps with ongoing threads like DS9

He’s an actor. Expecting every actor in every show you enjoy to be politically aligned with you is not realistic.

Academy is (so far) a good show with better Star Trek values than the other new live action Trek shows & movies have had.

The 20-odd β€œproducers” on the show are surely more problematic
