On February 3, 2026, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) stated in a press conference and on social media that recently released Jeffrey Epstein-related documents contain "highly disturbing allegations" that Donald Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lieu accused House Republicans and the Justice Department of attempting to distract from these allegations by focusing on others, and he pushed for full transparency.

The funniest part of DS9's Civil Defense is that there were so many pre-recorded messages. Like Dukat thought a slave revolt was so likely he took the time to pre-record a bunch of messages about it. But better than that is Legate Kell thought Dukat losing control of the station and trying to flee was so likely that he took the time to record a message telling Dukat to stop being a coward.

Like how many other pre-recorded messages were just chilling in DS9's computer?

usa: you do not need to go to the post office to mail a package

you can order priority mail shipping boxes and envelopes in any size from store.usps.com for free. if you do not have a printer, you can buy them with the postage already paid on them. the postal service will deliver these boxes to your house. you can pack your item into the box at home, then go back to usps.com and schedule a time for the mailman to pick the package up from your house. this is also free. you do not have to visit the post office at any point in this process. if you use flat rate mailers you also do not need to weigh anything.

i have to explain this to people about 20 times a year, no joke. it is some sort of anti post office conspiracy that everyone thinks you have to buy shipping boxes and then drive to the post office and stand in line to mail things. you do not. shipping mailers and boxes are 100% free. priority mail service or above (and prices are now adjusted to the point that its usually pointless not to use priority mail) entitles you to a free pickup, and if you have even one priority mail package to ship, you can ask for all your other packages to be picked up on the same trip too.

if you are shipping JUST books, use Media Mail. its very cheap

If you like Project Hail Mary, consider reading Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky!

Space opera with first contact and characters similar to eva stratt (avrana kern, isa lain) with an insanely interesting and compelling story. Its also a series!!

[simone-draws-sometimes]

Avrana Kern sketches!

Btw my commissions are open and there’s a discount 👀

[thebeardedsoliloquy]

Finished Children of Strife, good shit as usual

[skunts-own-truth]

All you fucks should get obsessed with Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time, this is without doubt one of the best sci-fi books I’ve read in a long, long while. Incredible prose, great storytelling, uplifted spiders, the hottest mad scientist lady I ever done read about screaming about monkeys. This is a BOOK. So far, so far, not a single sentence has been wasted, every single line has been used to push the narrative forward in some way. No bullshit. It’s awesome.

[i-dont-talk-much]

i love speculative fiction because it allows sentences like “given enough ants, human women are infinitely divisible” to be fully comprehensible both grammatically and semantically

reading a good interesting book after a horrible reading slump and suddenly you can feel the sun shining again and the sky is more beautiful than ever and birds are all singing songs to you
