That would be me. Hi, my name is Donna and I am a proud, pro-league librocubicularist.

Is worn out baseball glove a Crayola crayon color? I mean, Co-Prez Shitzenpantz is really starting to resemble a clapped out old mitt. Also, can he not afford a proper makeup artist? For Bast’s sake, he makes Tammy Faye Bakker look like a pro cosmetologist and aesthetician.

Where is the in-name-only vice prez? You know, JD Vance or whatever name he’s going by this week. I saw the tourist pic of him in his worn to threads old blue jeans, carrying his very own MusKKK-style, handmaid-in-training cloaked meat shield while the wife-bot stayed a respectful 10 feet behind him. Couchfuck must be kind of bored what with Stephen Miller, Leon the Indiscriminate Destroyer, and all things Project 2025 running the show. He's superfluous.

Was their casa filled with serious 24/7 bacchanalia action and monster murdering?

How can I explain to people that they should understand and care about injustice even if it never effects them?
No really—how can we convince Joe and Jane MAGAt that folks who don’t look like them are in fact humans deserving the same rights and courtesies? Is there any point in trying? Are the Trump cultists beyond redemption?

This weekend we’re having a little Valhalla Star Trek Fest. Specifically, we’ll be exploring Seven of Nine’s origin story on Voyager’s ep, The Raven. Possibly we’ll also need to watch Scorpion: Part 1, Scorpion: Part 2, Prey, and In the Flesh.
The Borg encountered Species 8472 in 2373, after finding their way into fluidic space to search for more species worthy of assimilation. However, Species 8472 proved immune to assimilation and the invasion of their realm provoked a war; according to Seven of Nine, Species 8472 was the first species to offer "true resistance to the Borg" in their long history. With their superior biological technology, Species 8472 drove the Borg back and launched a counter-invasion of the galaxy, annihilating large numbers of Borg drones, ships and even planets.

Hey, you do self-care your way and I’ll do mine. K?
I sincerely hope our dumbfounded NATO allies see the handwriting on the wall after Vance's speech in Brussels. The United States doesn't really exist anymore. The best thing they could do form a real continental military command structure and get ready for the Russians to attack Poland and Romania.
ReplyDeleteA geopolitical analysis I watch on YouTube- a guy named Peter Zeihan- says it would be in Sweden's national security interest to build a nuclear arsenal. That they have the skills and means to have a home produced bomb in about a month.

Good luck! We've got MAGAts singing the praises of Elmo Musk. They're gone, after having accepted a couple of decades of Fox News propaganda I don't see any usable humanity left.
A weekend of Star Trek sounds like a good idea. I've got three more season two episodes of Strange New Worlds. Plus a whole season of Lower Decks. Have you seen the Section 31 movie? Oh my god it was horrible.
