We had a good run

And so it goes. I grew up with the original Star Trek and it's sad to see them pass away one by one. Hang in there George and Bill.

This is everything.

Masterful. Rarely see such a perfect response to heckler. Watch the whole thing to see the sad little walk away at the end.

This is 100% true. Trump is a Russian asset.

For 3 days.

Moderation in the face of fascism is no virtue.

I am sincerely worried for The Onion. I mean, how can they compete with this?

This is despicable. That has to stop. We have to stop it. Just a few days until we can vote them out. Vote.

In case anyone needed further proof that Russia has been interfering with Western democracies for the past 12 years, here it is. We are in an information war/hybrid war with Russia. We're the only ones who don't seem to know it.

The 21st Cen Great Information War @carolecadwalla.bsky.social first called in 2016 ow has its UK front confirmed. The US Elections and Brexit were both fronts in Russia's info war to split the West and invade and conquer Ukraine. We got Trump, they left the EU. Still not sure who got hurt worse.

The Ukrainians truck/drone attack, Operation Spiderweb, continues to reverberate. The US was just forced to remove its B1 bombers from the UK (!) for fear of a similar attack. We are not ready for cheap 3-D warfare.

The Trump Iran war continues to damage the US. We are now forced to retreat from…The UK thousands of miles from Iran. The US ability to project power is shrinking and all because Trump thought he could shake down Iran as he did Venezuela and pocket the cash. Where is that Venezuelan money again?

Dems must know their mandate if they win the midterms. They must fight for the 99%. If they don't our country is doomed. "But if it is not led by Democrats using every tool at their disposal to name names, kick ass, and stop further destruction, there will be hell to pay with the base."

Well, sure, mistakes were made but at least Cornell has now immediately closed the fraternity and revoked the degrees of the offenders, right? Right?

Dune, Herpes Symplex 3

All-time great.

Welcome to the Class War that the 99% of us have been losing for 40 years. Time to fight back, tax the rich, strengthen government and elect leaders who work for the 99% not the oligarchic elites.

Could not agree more, language evolution and drift are fascinating. Well worth the read.

Thank god we have candidates from 49 other states to choose from.

I did my part, now it's your turn.

She's so funny and talented. I know a few designers who would love this.

Always buy dumb appliances including TVs.

Can't wait for this restaurant, Ditto, to open just off Union Square. #dittorestaurant #andybaraghani

It just keeps getting dumber.

Oh look, what a surprise! Volkswagen, which spent the last decade using its engineering expertise to figure out how to bypass emissions controls in Europe is getting crushed by Chinese electric car companies that spent their engineering resources building better el electric cars.

How do you know they're lying? Their lips are moving. #StandWithUkraine

One leads an incredible life. One leads a despicable life. One becomes President, the other a Senator. How did this simulation get so f'd up?

Gloria Steinem on Dolly Parton from 1987, rarely seen anyone so universally loved. Wow was she impressive.

New York Times needs to stop using adjectives like "Centrist" when describing appeasers. What exactly is a "Centrist" today. Someone who's halfway between democrats and fascists? Why not just call them semi-fascists? There are no centrists right now. There are fascists and democrats. Pick a side.

Kermit and Dolly, two great performers. RIP, Dolly

Nooooooooooooooooooo.

There's a reason the oligarch's 40-year plan started in the 1980's with demonizing unions. Unions are a strong force for the workers to protect them, enrich them and unite them.

Put this on repeat from now until the Midterms.

Yup.

I was the first person to wait in line to see Oliver North testify to Congress. I was hoping for John Dean but I got, well, Oliver North. I was a naive young boy hoping to see democracy work.

100% this.

At this point the greatest threat to the survival of our democracy is the current Democratic Leadership. They do not understand the assignment. Jeffries and Schumer do not understand what must be done: dismantle the autocracy, prosecute the perpetrators, reform and reinforce our democracy.

Trump has re-tasked so many agents that "'It’s never been a better time to be involved in transnational organized crime,' one former HSI [Homeland Security Investigations] official told us." Total clown government.

Lobster for me but not for the men and women in uniform. Disgusting.

This is the way forward.

Good. Welcome aboard. We need you to help win everywhere. Democratic Socialists are just the FDR Democracts of the 21st Century. Let's get it done. Stop the corruption, pass universal healthcare, expand the court, ban insider trading in Congress, prosecute the illegal actions of the Trumpers.

Sometimes the truth comes from an unexpected place.

At least one photo editor at the Times is still working for the forces of light.

I feel like this damns both the Times and 60 Minutes. God, I loved and depended on both in an early era.

AI companies whining and crying about Chinese AI “distilling” or stealing their IP when all US LLMs are a product of wholesale IP theft is the most hilarious hypocrisy of the 21st Century.

There are two videos in this thread that are absolutely terrific, one on the general who put the cast through a 10-day basic training which they abhorred and a second on WW2 re-enactors and SCA members who were used in the making of the D-Day scene. Fantastic.

Bravo
