Not a great sign when your 12-person private fundraiser includes someone who hates you enough to leak damaging audio

The audio of Mr. Paxton was shared with The Times by an attendee who recorded him speaking at a private fund-raiser in Washington attended by roughly a dozen people. The person, who opposes Mr. Paxton’s campaign and provided the recording to The Times, was granted anonymity because Mr. Paxton’s remarks were private.

I cannot imagine a worse fate for the future of the Franchise than Terry Matalas becoming the "Kevin Feige of Star Trek." Season three of PIC was nothing more than a bunch of cynical nostalgia bait for fans for who can't get past a desire to see all the characters they grew up with back on the D

Truth be told, you couldn’t pay me to be on threads from the jump. The entire platform gives me the feeling of fake parasocial celebrity gazes as well as work as well as being an overall foregone conclusion. One of those “play with fire and you get burned“ kind of things.

"I'm sorry, but if you're outraged over Mary Peltola using a few offensive words but silent on Max Miller beating his wife, Ken Paxton protecting a child sex predator, Jon Husted hiring a Nazi as his political director, or any far worse GOP scandals this cycle, you can fuck right off." - Mike Nellis

It does seem like walking through the (pictured!) rubble of your home town on the way to school every day might be more radicalizing than anything the teachers might say.

I'm just adding this tiny little thing for the fuckery of it. To recap where we are: Lynne Freeman is getting deposed as to her ability to pay. She was already deposed once and her attorneys refused to let her answer questions without basis. The judge sent a SCATHING order threatening sanctions.

I agree with the spirit of this post, but the frame is fundamentally f_cked up, It cannot possibly "defeat" fascism, b/c throwing trans rights under the bus *accelerates* fascism. This is like challenging a claim that Nazi persecution of minorities could defeat Nazism.

One other thing I love about fruit growing is you find out there are whole universes of flavor that could easily grow where you are that just... aren't. Maybe they ship poorly or the infrastructure isn't there or people are nervous about new flavors? Some examples:

This is why I think it's so important to push back against the personification of LLMs. If a person shoots someone while wearing a hand puppet, they can't claim the hand puppet did the murder.

The thing about trying not to pick a side is that the nazis *instantly recognize* which side you picked. They immediately identify you as an ally. They know exactly what side you're on. It doesn't fool the victims, it doesn't fool the Nazis, the only people it could possibly fool is centrists.

There are worse models for this than Star Trek. A society that allows and encourages participation by all creeds and colors; one that provides baseline necessities in order to let people perform the work that they choose; that freedom coupled with a social expectation to do SOME work for the...

Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.

ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop.

Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community.

Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered.

Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

I think about Star Trek a lot (especially over the last 10 years) and, in my opinion, the best versions of it combine both entertainment and aspirational elements. When it becomes purely focused on getting/holding attention it loses something essential. Happy 60th anniversary, old friend :)

All the main characters of DS9 depicted in fan art I made to impress my brother, Gabe. It's our favorite show.

The characters of Prodigy racing across a combadge as the Protostar shoots upward in the foreground. Fan art I made because I love the show.

A mini poster I made for a famous episode of the original series featuring the Gorn captain in the upper left and Captain Kirk in the lower right. between the two likenesses is the often mocked battle of the two. behind them is the famous Vasquez rocks on which a metron stands emitting light.

A quick sketch of Geordi LaForge and his true love: the warp core.

Realizing the extent to which this is true wildly changed my opinions about how to deal with Trumpism, since they're never going to be satisfied unless they're actively dominating everyone else. You can't give them some concessions and go back to the status quo: they're reactionary revolutionaries.
