The most famous punk rock stage of all time ⚡

How I would love to spend (a lot) of time there again

@historyofpunkrock Correlation or causation that Louisiana, Alabama, and Idaho have no punk history and are reactionary states?

“When the Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are considered children under state law, its chief justice had a higher authority in mind.

By citing verses from the Bible and Christian theologians in his concurring opinion, Chief Justice Tom Parker alarmed advocates for church-state separation, while delighting religious conservatives who oppose abortion.”

@soc_i_ety @GottaLaff As a heathen I Googled the rapture (RIP my ad algorithm) I was pleased to learn "At that moment, the world will have no born-again believers anywhere. All the Christian workers in hospitals, nursing homes, orphanages, rescue missions, relief agencies—gone. Every Christian in law enforcement, social work, and health care—gone. And of course many churches will sit empty." - source, some wingnut.
In other words the rapture will bring about heaven on earth? Also, damn they sure are full of themselves.

So I was watching one of Trump's lawyers outside the courtroom in NYC today, where they said something like "in 33 years of practicing law that's the best testimony a client has ever given". And I'm thinking to myself this isn't a stupid person saying this, but it sure reminds me of something ... something ... and ...

I realized what it is.

In the original "The Twilight Zone" episode "It's a Good Life" (1963), Billy Mumy plays a little boy who is described by Serling as a monster, who can kill anybody, create horrors of all kinds, simply with his mind.

And the adults all live in abject fear of being turned into something horrible and being killed and being "buried in the cornfield."

"It's good that you killed that, Anthony!"

"That's a really fine two-headed gopher you made there Anthony!"

They all said wonderful things about him, for fear of his retribution if they didn't.

One of the most famous of all Twilight Zone episodes. And there it was, in front of a NYC courtroom today. No closing narration by Rod Serling required.

@lauren Although the closing narration for that episode is a bit spooky:
"No comment here, no comment at all. We only wanted to introduce you to one of our very special citizens, little Anthony Fremont, age six, who lives in a village called Peaksville, in a place that used to be Ohio. And, if by some strange chance, you should run across him, you had best think only good thoughts. Anything less than that is handled at your own risk, because if you do meet Anthony, you can be sure of one thing: you have entered The Twilight Zone."

"They would do that? Sign a Unity Pledge and then ... (crumbling pearls into fine dust with anxious clutching) ... break their word?"

I don't remember who introduced me to @murderbotbot but one of the faculty here on campus recently discovered the books and wrote a thing: https://www.pastemagazine.com/books/martha-wells/murderbot-diaries-emotion-meaning-legacy (I hope @marthawells doesn't mind a tag also...)

I've always enjoyed SiFi in movie form, but not so much part of my reading list. Until I picked up my first Murder Bot book. Huge fan of Martha Wells!

Chief Gideon Cody's troubles are just beginning.

”All electronic devices seized by police will be returned to the Marion County Record, said Bernie Rhodes, a Kansas City-based attorney for the Record who also represents The Star.

"'We have stopped the hemorrhaging,' Rhodes told The Star. 'But it does nothing about taking care of the damage that has already occurred from the violation of the First Amendment in the first place.'"

"Marion County [Prosecutor] Joel Ensey said he concluded that 'insufficient evidence' existed to establish a 'legally sufficient nexus between this alleged crime and the places searched and the items seized.'"

Are you finding Mastodon to be less vibrant/active?

I’m worried that we are not getting as much engagement on our Ukraine war reporting as we used to.

We’re trying to decide which social media platforms to continue posting on, given how much effort it takes to replicate across all of them.

If you want to send a signal to us that we should keep posting here, will you sign up for our newsletter? http://Counteroffensive.substack.com

I’m only asking Mastodon users today so we can gauge impact.

@timkmak Spoutible is shaping up to be an excellent 🐦 alternative.

Do you remember when you were growing up, do you remember how simple life was, how easy it felt? It was about faith, family, and country. We can have that again, but to do that, we must vote Joe Biden out.

YES NIMARATA I TOTALLY REMEMBER!

@stevesilberman Sure, I remember faith, family, and country brought nothing but hate, shame, and violence. #voteblue #stonewall #pride2023
