@georgetakei I was on acid the first time I saw Wrath of Khan. It was hilarious. But then (they had double-features back then) the next movie was Blade Runner.
Messiah in a Bottle
@raf I thought of one. Convince me that 🇮🇱 is not a theocracy. KSA, Iran, Talibania, Oklahoma are especially terrible examples. I am not the only person who opposes religious dictum and othering. 🇮🇱 is definitely engaging in othering, which is causing them problems. How can I fail to object to that, even given their difficult situation?
@KeithDJohnson Could you, maybe, do some more word things, for those of us who prefer not to sit in front of a video?
@AlliFlowers The ShitGibbon bible does not qualify. It must contain the Constitution: 17 Amendments which *are part of the Constitution* are omitted, so some other bible must be used.
@samlitzinger The requirements do *not* match the ShitGibbon bible. The bible must include the U.S. Constitution: the ShitGibbon bible has the Preamble, the 7 Articles, and the first 10 Amendments but omits 17 Amendments, which are by definition part of the Constitution. The ShitGibbon bible must be rejected because it does not qualify.
@raf Is anti-Zionism the same thing as anti-Semitism?

I Heart You ❤️
This rose-breasted grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus) looks like he has a big heart on his chest, doesn't he?
These birds are part of the family Cardinalidae, the same family as cardinals. Many species in this family are colorful.
You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.
Take a look:

@Swede1952 @stiefel_fan Saturn can be fairly bright, but I doubt it would be bright enough to shine through the dusk like that. Venus is closer to the sun, so it is never a dot – Saturn can look like a dot or it can look like a small dash if the rings are in a prominent orientation.
@KathyLK @DemocracyMattersALot @meidastouch We just have to assume that every statement is an accufession.

Monochrome Munch
Here is an image of a Carolina chickadee (Poecile carolinensis) that I saw in forest behind my home. It was pretty dark among the trees and the chickadee was too far away for a detailed closeup. I like the image anyway and thought maybe displaying it in black and white/selective color would make it more interesting. I think a gold frame will set it off.
I've had several inquiries about how to get a print of some my photographs. This is a hobby for me, so I haven't been equipped to handle those requests. But I enjoy what I'm doing and want to share my photographs.
So, I set up an account and website with pixels. My website is:
https://swede1952-photographs.pixels.com
If you want a print of one of my photographs, you can get it there, If I haven't loaded it, let me know which one it is, and I'll gladly load it there for you.

@thepoliticalcat I seriously doubt Couchfucker believes ShitGibbon should run the country. His aim is to get ShitGibbon elected so that he can 25A the camacho and get behind the Resolute Desk himself. In truth, I suspect the whole Republiopath Party is aiming for that.
@gtconway3 Accufessions. Endless accufessions.
@StillIRise1963 The underwear model is whining about how we are calling ShitGibbon a threat to democracy, when that is almost the least of the threats he presents.

CBS News has chosen to be a cowardly entertainment company, not a journalism organization, in its cavalier decision not to do any fact-checking in the VP debate next week.
This is an invitation for Vance -- as prolific a liar as Trump -- to flood the zone with bullshit. There's not enough time in a day, much less 90 minutes, for Walz to refute the lies and make his own points.
CBS knows this, and put its thumb on the scale anyway.

Branch Out Look
This is a mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) that I saw in the forest.
I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut.

@are0h Well, I would get offended if someone called me "white". I am all North Sea ancestry, but "white" has a completely different meaning now. White people can GFT.
@are0h The third great lie: "I'm not racist."
I never say that because I never have to. People see for themselves how I am.
@Permacultureandpolitics Yeah, as Bruce says, not an emerald ash borer. The wikithing picture shows a very smooth carapace with an emeraldy shiny finish.
@inkican Thing about dystopia is that it is *not* boring. You struggle to survive, which keeps you from getting bored.
And, quite frankly, given how FU we are right now, I suspect a proper dystopia would probably be an improvement.
We are so conditioned to this condition that something else is always portrayed as worse. But it could very well be better. Or at the very least, we would get used to it.
