The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

I've been surprised how strongly Talarico has shifted to running against Elon's influence and I'm glad to see it.

It's pretty messed up how many people accidentally ended up at the Braeden Rodrigo show by mistake in Toronto tonight

one way you can tell tech companies know their AI sucks is they keep preventing you from turning it off

Average Trump scandal: many people dead after uncontroversial government program illegally cut by doge for nonexistent savings Average mamdani scandal: he’s playing BASKETBALL with his FRIENDS

Walter was a gentleman who spoke eloquently. He commanded respect. The Roddenberry Archive presents “In Conversation: Walter Koenig,” an in-depth profile of the actor who portrayed navigator Pavel Chekov in the original Star Trek series and movies youtu.be/Z3vzNfxpgZ8?...

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Standing for public office takes courage. Congratulations to everyone across Ontario who put their name forward, and to all those elected today.

I saw Wildwood earlier today with an older friend who never watches animated movies, but really likes the Decemberists and wanted to support their involvement in the film. We were both blown away. I had no plans to see it, because I don't have a ton of free time, but oh my god was that worth it.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Hypertensive cardiovascular disease. High blood pressure. Heart disease is an invisible killer. My family has a history of it. HBP is easily managed. A modern medical miracle. Talk to your doctors etc. I take one little pill a day and my bp is textbook. Let's not lose any more of you :*(

Eric Bauza was the People's Bugs Bunny, he fought tirelessly to get Coyote vs. Acme released, he was on the front lines of strikes supporting writers and actors, this is a huge loss

Eric Bauza. Legend.

From Lula’s victory speech. Hard to argue. 🇧🇷 “We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously large corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes to this country and trying to steer our election results.”

Timothy the Hippo (Hippopotamus amphibius) at the San Antonio Zoo demonstrates why he's not in the petting area using a Fall pumpkin. 🦛🎃 The bite force of a hippo is ~2000 psi, producing a force of 8100 Newtons. So why does a GRASS-EATER have jaws stronger than a polar bear, jaguar or lion's?

It would be grand, then, if the Government of Canada would terminate any use of X/Twitter. And don't say, "Oh, we need it to get our messages out," because then you are "caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider."

Currently at a kids party in a Toronto park wondering why we need 1000 more cops when one has been just idling his car next to the playground while checking his phone for the last hour.

So much for "Don't be evil".

Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, & it's my favorite thing I've ever done! If you need a long, escapist read at the moment the entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com (THIS PAGE: First Up: Admiral Cayetano Cruz )

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Breaking News: Tom Skerritt, the Emmy Award-winning actor best-known for his roles in “M*A*S*H,” “Alien” and “Steel Magnolias,” has died. He was 93. nyti.ms/4stcT7B

If you're using "A.i." for search, you're filling your brain with lies, propaganda, and bullshit. Use @duckduckgo.com or @kagi.com and turn the "A.i." features OFF.

I think I've found a compromise most of can live with

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

This stat stopped me dead in my tracks. Facebook makes more ad revenue off of scams (that Facebook internally admits and acknowledges are scams!) than the GDP of 72 of the world's nations.

Josh Matlow, Charter City champion, for mayor! Alas, not on the ballot this time.
