Saw a woman wearing dungarees with a pink shirt and thought to myself, that's stolen valour for Miss Rachel. Then I thought to myself, I need to get the fuck off the Internet.

As someone who's worked on various Looney Tunes projects for most of my 15+yr career, the goal was always to keep the spirit of these characters alive and relevant so future generations can both enjoy and be inspired by them. Go see an support "Coyote VS. ACME" when it comes out next week!

Every right-wing man is, and I cannot stress this enough, a little fucking bitch. This is not restricted to the US either. They are subs by their very nature. Absolutely weak as fuck. Their macho thing is a performance. You'd spark any of them out with good follow-through.

I’m sure it doesn’t help that Trump withdrew the U.S. from the WHO on day one. Then his administration laid off 2,400 CDC workers, including all the civilian staff in the Vessel Sanitation Program, the exact team responsible for inspecting cruise ships and responding to outbreaks.

I sat through the Melania Trump documentary for the purposes of reviewing it on national radio today. It's Newstalk, Movies and Booze, from 2.50. Listen in! I'll probably have an aneurysm!

Read the argument today that people should try to influence the narratives on the other website rather than abandon it. I respect the view but - you're not influencing anyone. Legacy media views throttled to death. Someone gave this example. @BBC - 2m followers. Meg IP. One retweet. 12k views.

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

NEW: The ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, the Venezuela attack, the new White House Jan. 6 website—these each convey a powerful & unsettling message from Trump, Miller, and their crew: Violence is ours to use, at home and abroad, to get what we want. Beware. Please read and share.

The Trump doctrine: Violence is us
The message is clear—be afraid.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

These make me laugh 100% of the time
Hello and welcome to Deep Space Nine. We are a space station, not a starship, so you’ll be spending a lot of time with all these delightful side characters like: bisexual fashion lizard. hologram of Frank Sinatra. goblins. goblin comes in 3 varieties: bartender, nephew, and idiot. our doctor is a twink, our commander is antifa and the captain talks to the gods sometimes. our policeman is sometimes a liquid and the science lady is part worm. we have many fine storylines, such as: Goblin Does A Crime, Watch The Irishman Suffer, or The Horrors Of War. As you stroll along our promenade enjoying a raktajino or delicious jumja stick, watch out for our nefarious villains: Pope Karen. clones of Jeffrey Combs. and a horny bastard reptile man who seems convinced this is actually his show. we suspect he may be possessed by demons. Have fun!

Deep Space Nine: now with Worf™!tng: welcome aboard the starship enterprise, a luxury cruise ship drifting among the stars. our crew contains notable elements of Diversity and our captain gets pegged by an omniscient being from another dimension. enjoy the soft jazz concerts, shakespeare performances, and infinitely powerful holodecks at your leisure
ds9: hop aboard Station On Fire Trash Can bitch. does our shit work? no. is this a safe place to live? fuck no. senior officers include Space Dad, Lesbian Terrorist, Trans Worm, Goo, Dr. Twink, and Perpetually Confused White Guy. if you want to get dragged into an elaborate crime syndicate, contract a deadly space disease, or get stabbed in a barfight, you’ve come to the right place. also, holosuites are for fucking. yeehawAbove: i'm at the shopping mall. i'm at the war outpost. i'm at the space station. i'm at the combination shopping mall war outpost space station.

Below: A picture of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine opening logo.
Visitor to deep space 9 to keiko: so... you seeing anyone?

Keiko: Why yes! This is my husband Miles, Miles' boyfriend Julian, Julian's husband Garak, me and Miles' girlfriend Kira, Kira's boyfriend Odo, Odo's enemy-with-benefits Quark, Kira's datemate Jadzia, and Jadzia's husband Worf.

Visitor pointing at Sisko: and who's that?

All in unison: that's our dad.
