There's a verse in the New Testament where it says that Jesus is the only way for anybody to get to Heaven, and I started thinking about how many millions if not billions of good and decent people would be in Hell just because they were born before Jesus showed up.

Fanart of T'Lyn from Star Trek: Lower Decks. 

Left: T'Lyn on a Vulcan ship, with her Vulcan grey and white crew uniform. She is standing with her left arm behind her back and doing a Vulcan salute with her right hand.

Top Right:  T'Lyn rearranging the pieces on a 3D chess board and looking sideways conspiratorially. She is in the Cerritos' nar and in her Starfleet uniform.

Bottom Right: T'Lyn wielding a Larpa while on Orion, wearing her yellow Orion outfit, looking hella angry.

The GOP is now a safe space for those who make jokes about killing Jews.

I love everyone responding to this with jokes and not acknowledging that this is a thing one of the programmers at Bluesky did

It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I wantβ€”I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, β€œI know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, β€œYou find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, β€œWell, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, β€œI didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, β€œYou know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

There’s a lot more, or course; Platner’s stories are full of lies and gaps. We don’t know who got him to run - the names are all secret. We don’t know what he did in 2017, a black hole after he dropped out of college, before he signed with Constellis. A family friend said β€œHe was in rough shape” 8/

Based on the number of women I've dated who turned out to be tear-downs, I would argue that this applies no matter what gender you're interested in.

If you want to stop Newsom, build up his negatives with Black voters *now.* Emphasize how he keeps hanging out with racists and inviting them to talk on his show. Ask how Black people have fared in his California and how he’s responded to racism against us. What was he doing in 2014? 2016? 2020?

And when a human like you actively avoids engaging in good faith, they often get the sort of responses that their lack of honesty warrants.

Bit since your reponses so far indicate that you're just going to keep throwing tantrums, it's time to mute you and give the adults a chance to talk.

My not having said anything about what you're trying to deflect the conversation toward in order to avoid dealing with the point I raised matters because your ongoing attempts at deflection only serve to further highlight your being either unable or unwilling to discuss anything in good faith.

Yet again, part however many, I didn't say anything about how many people you believe belong to the Democratic party. I juat said that when you said "there's no such thing as the Democratic party," it was a lie. So would you kindly stop your attempts at deflecting away from that point?

06.03.2026 20:40 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

You should try not lying, then. You're welcome.

Yet again, I didn't say anything about how many people you personally believed are part of the Democratic party. I did however point out that when you claimed "there's no such thing as the Democratic party," that was a lie.

06.03.2026 20:37 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

I did respond, specifically by redirecting the conversation to what had been said as my response to your attempt to deflect it to something that I never said.

I already responded to this nonsense uptrend. Hopefully this time you'll understand what you read, and not go with an attempt at deflection as pathetic as that "you didn't say anything" nonsense.

No, I said that your claim was a lie. Perhaps you could try understanding what you read someday?

06.03.2026 20:19 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I didn't say anything about how many members of the Democratic party exist. I only commented on how your argument that the Democratic party doesn't actually exist was a falsehood.

In this case it was a summary of how you literally argued that your making a false statement somehow didn't make what you said a lie.

"I'm not a liar just because I told a lie" sure is a take.

06.03.2026 19:50 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

By saying you're a liar, I'm saying that your claim of "There's no such thing as the Democratic party" was a false one, because it was. You can throw all the tantrums you like, but that won't change things.
