TWO HOURS AGO: an incredible photo taken by a ut austin student capturing something deeply poetic in my opinion, a line of state troopers eagerly waiting to arrest student protesters standing just behind a sign that reads "what starts here changes the world. its starts with you and what you do each day."
"Ok guys we're making a movie that takes place in a second American Civil War, but that's not what the movie is about. How can we make the movie as apolitical as possible"
"what if the secessionist faction is led by Texas and California?"
saw a grown woman on tiktok snidely calling gen z the christopher columbus generation bc someone’s fifteen year old son ‘thought he’d discovered weezer’. newsflash every generation finds out about the music of the previous generation at some point it comes free with being fifteen. being annoying about music also comes free with being fifteen. a kid saying yeah i’ve just found this band nirvana have you ever heard of them should be a thing of joy
- Laura Roslin checking out his room as soon as she enters. She wants to quickly assess this man. She’s smart - you can learn a lot about someone by how they live. This is also when she first noticed ALL HIS BOOKS!
- Bill Adama is a real f’ing man. He can admit a mistake and move on. It didn’t diminish him in any way.
- Laura doesn’t bask in the victory or ‘I told you so’ at him. He says, you were right, let’s leave it at that, she’s like, fine, ok. And then they move on to another topic. (Earth).

From his and Bjo's Facebook page:
In 1966 they found a group of people interested in mediaeval combat and arts. They joined the Society of Creative Anachronism (SCA) . John served 2 terms as a member of it’s board of directors, was a landed Baron of the first Barony. His arms were the very first to be registered with the college of Heralds and both John and Bjo have been members ever since. Later that year he said to his wife, “Gee it’s a shame a good science fiction show like Star Trek is going to be canceled. We should do something about that!” And the same Star Trek campaign was born. For over 58 years John and Bjo Trimble have been ambassadors for science fiction, the space program and the SCA. Meeting and hosting people from all walks of life, all over the world.
John has touched thousands of lives in a way that positive and full of joy. He will be greatly missed.
