Wake and bake, Chooms! The sun is breaking through the clouds over the Sprawl, and #RadioFreeSociety is ready to hijack the airwaves once again! There's plenty of tunes and happenings to share, so keep those radios tuned to hear what's coming out of the bunker!

is it safe to time travel to yesterday

I figured many people would love to see what the Betazoid word "imzadi" looks like, written in the new Betazoid font, established in #StarTrekDiscovery's "Labyrinths", so here it is. 😊 Maybe you and/or your beloved need this for a birthday card or tattoo. 😅

Members of the GOP are no strangers to delusion and lies. The latest example (and definitely not the last) is South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who recently gained attention for shooting her puppy and writing about it. According to Noem, though, this is business as usual for farmers. However, real farmers say otherwise. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/noem-farm-life-puppy-excuse

Jaw-dropper in Montana: the AP is reporting that the Republican attorney general admitted on recording that he recruited a challenger in the primary so he could raise more money and skirt campaign finance rules. https://apnews.com/article/montana-attorney-general-campaign-finance-primary-opponent-54b427bb9f71d51adadcf76ca244c8c6

Hey, kids in Donnelly, Idaho, do you like the Summer Reading Program?

Well, fuck you, the library is adults only now thanks to book banners and right wing legislators

@ColesStreetPothole and under current Idaho law, any depiction of a “homosexual” act is considered “harmful to children,” so a picture book with two dads holding hands could send a librarian to prison

Picard management tip: Listen.

Classic case of how extenuating circumstances should include "sure but it was fucking hilarious, your honor"

It amuses me that a squirrel who opts to live under the sea and spends most of her time in a diving suit is also named Jennifer, and that a robot girl who wants to be human is also also named Jennifer.

I don't know why, just bemused at how many Jennifers seem to have some measure of 'I want to be something/somewhere/someone else'.

The bald eagle could have easily gone extinct. But we did all sorts of "woke" things protecting it legally, ran conservation and study programs, banned DDT (that was good for other reasons too) and in 2007 they were removed from the endangered species list.

Likewise pine forests could be dead from acid rain.

The ozone could have a huge hole.

We CAN take care of nature when we want to. And the successes have been worth it.

I feel like we forget this, you know?

Billionaires existing is root cause for most problems.

Random #Windows tip for anyone who might not know:

Recent-ish versions of Windows (since Win7 or so, maybe Vista?) support having your hardware clock set to UTC. Good for those who dual-boot #Linux or some other OS that prefers or requires it.

There's no GUI for it, so you'll have to add a registry entry by hand:

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation
Value: RealTimeIsUniversal=dword:00000001

Reboot and you should be good to go.
