Unpopular opinion: criticisms of Biden’s presidency are fine, but mocking him because he has cancer is fucked up.

New Lego set unlocked. Building my favorite droid!

I’m on the left with a Star Wars Rebels shirt that says: Zeb & Ezra & Hera & Kanan & Sabine & Chopper. On the table behind me is a Lego set in the box of the droid Chopper

Mar 24th 1984 - #TheBreakfastClub had detention. 📽️📅 The Breakfast Club (1985)

3 Screenshots from the movie "The Breakfast Club" (1985): First, an exterior shot of Shermer High School, a modern concrete building with wide steps, accompanied by the subtitle "Saturday, March 24, 1984." Second, a rebellious teenage boy lounges with his feet up on a table, dressed in layered flannel and a fingerless glove, smirking as he says, "Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?" Third, a stern older man in a tan blazer and black shirt holds a bunch of pens, glaring as he replies, "Don't mess with the bull, young man, you'll get the horns."

That look my husband gives when I order more Lego

Screenshot of my phone wallpaper. A picture of me smirking, holding a coffee mug. The mug and a picture of my husband giving the side-eye. Right below his picture, is a notification showing my Lego order arrives tomorrow.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Still making my way through Star Trek: Deep Space Nine for the first time. On the 2-part Past Tense episodes. Maybe we will still get the Bell Riots after all. Just delayed 😜

Garak being called out. My other favorite line: “It was just something I overheard while hemming someone’s trousers.”

Garak from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine saying “You see Doctor, I’m just a simple tailor.” The bottom half has a fact check notice saying “False Information.”

but seriously the use of DEI, migrants, trans people, and queer people as scapegoats for all of American’s ills is full on fascism and we’re at one of those big historical turning points. Be brave and don’t assume it’ll “blow over” when faced with moments you can respond.

They are trying to keep us distracted.

Nemik from Star Wars Andor saying: "It's so confusing isn't it? So much going on, so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly. The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it and that is the real trick of the imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident."

Star Wars Rebels is my go-to comfort series. The rise of the Rebellion against the Empire is my favorite time period in the Star Wars Universe. This is where I’m at right now.

They are counting on us not paying attention too.

Post from No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen showing 2 posts from Charlie Kirk. The left, dated 1/19/2025 days: “Trump is saving TikTok. Pay attention, Gen Z.” And the right dated 7/30/2020 says: “President @realDonaldTrump just announced on
Air Force One that he will be banning the evil
CCP-compromised app TikTok. America can't continue to allow our citizens to be surveilled by Xi Jinping and his terroristic cronies. I have long advocated for this. Fight back!”

Brian Tyler Cohen is highlighting the right wing / MAGA hypocrisy.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew stuck the landing!! That was an awesome, fun adventure. Hoping for a season 2. Honestly, I’d love to see Neel grow up to be a Senator or an Ambassador in the New Republic. As long as he doesn’t end up on Hosnian Prime!

While I lean more towards Star Wars, I do love me some Star Trek with the cultural, moral, and ethical commentary. And since it _could_ be our future. Working my way through Deep Space Nine and holy shit, it is so good! Can’t believe I haven’t watched it until now.

That time ca. 1982 when my best friend and I tried to make a #Lego stop motion movie. One of the minifigures was Wonder Woman. Before they had a custom Wonder Woman minifig, we had to decorate one ourselves.
