My son and I went to see #projecthailmary. I read the book, but my son knew nothing about the book or the movie except “It’s about a guy that wakes up in a spaceship with amnesia and has to find out why he’s there”. We both liked the movie a lot, which speaks volumes about how good the movie is. Absolutely recommend it.
Transgender women athletes banned from Olympics female events by IOC

Transgender women athletes are now excluded from the Olympics after the IOC agreed to a new eligibility policy It aligns with U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order on women's sports ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Games. The International Olympic Committee says “eligibility for any female category event at the Olympic Games or any other IOC event, including individual and team sports, is now limited to biological females.” Eligibility will be determined by "a one‑time SRY gene screening.” It is unclear how many, if any, transgender women are competing at an Olympic level.

This Saturday my #rollerderby league organizes an event, and my mind’s been busy thinking about things related to officials, etc. Today I burnt my toast because I was thinking about derby matters… 🤣🔥🍞
No modern society survives without #immigration. Immigration is inevitable in a world riddled with conflict and inequalities. Those opposing immigration do not oppose immigration per-se, they oppose LEGAL immigration. They want people to be forced to immigrate illegally, lose their rights by being illegal and have a pseudo-slave class available to exploit. Oh! But also, be invisible. They want this slavery to not ruin their racial landscape. Fucking weird perverted bigots.

I have a Hisense TV. At one point, it updated and “forgot” the setting to remember the last used input, and started sending me to its home screen. Drove me nuts until I found what was going on. Since I only use it with AppleTV and consoles, I removed the wifi configuration, and any other settings it had. And without internet, it now behaves. If I every buy a new “TV”, it’ll be one of those panels used for retail, without tuner and OS. #smarttv #hisense #enshittification

Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing

What will be a creative way to get rid of #oligarchs? (Other than the usual ways we’ve seen in history).
I’ll start with one: scare them so they retreat to their bunkers, lock them there, throw the keys away.
Name yours! 😆

I honestly don’t get it: every US instigated intervention in Eastern Europe or the Middle East has had negative impacts in Europe: immigration waves, economic hardships, political and social crisis… yet some European countries (I’m looking at you, #Germany 😒) still support these, sometimes illegal, US interventions. What gives? Toughen up! It’s time to tell the US, specially this grotesque government, to go fuck themselves, and not count with us, specially if it will hurt the region. #iran
