I feel really bad for the 25% of Palestinians who don’t like Hamas.

Never stood a chance of wiping out the Jews? Good.

The other thing that needs to be acknowledged here is that literacy has overwhelming been trending upwards over time. As grim as this is, it’s actually fantastic news when we look at where we used to be.

So is lemmy just dead?

This post is the number 1 post when sorting by hot in the category ALL. It’s been here an hour with ZERO comments?

Every other post in my feed is similar. What is happening?

Someday in the not too distant future, we’ll have the technology to swap actors in and out of roles in movies. Not just the masking stuff we see with deep fakes, but fully alter the timing and dialog and reactions.

No. Anything JJ Abrams has ever touched doesn’t count.

Interstellar Spaceship Owls are still waiting for their moment.

That episode had an interesting premise but I hated the interactions between Will and Thomas.

The nerve of cmd. Riker using his rank to bully Thomas.

And in the end, Will is like: “I have all our stuff, but here, I’ll give you one item. Have a nice life.”

It was absurd.

I honestly think that music did more to hurt the show than anything else. It was the musical equivalent of starting EVERY EPISODE with a voiceover saying: “we hate all that old star trek. This is the new WB Network Star Trek, with 70% more down home, Midwestern American values! Yeehaw!”

We know.

Boomers vote because they are already registered, know where to go, have transportation, have time to do it. They can go out the door on election day and just get it done.

Younger people, especially college age, aren’t registered in the states they live in, have no idea how to get registered, have to go through a much more complicated process of absentee voting, and have to do much of these things well in advance. They are less likely to have transportation, or a schedule that allows them to do it.

Oh, and most importantly, we haven’t given young people a candidate to get excited about in a general election in at least 40 years

If Democrats wanted to harness the power of young voters, they needed to give them Bernie.

Instead we got aptly-named Sleepy Joe.

Now we got what Boomers wanted: Bidenomics. Everyone claims Bidenomics is going well, but young people can’t afford their loans, healthcare, childcare, or rent. So what’s with all the cork-popping.

The fact is, were a nation in absolute crisis, and Democrat Boomers absolutely will not acknowledge it. They got their SUVs, stock portfolios, social security, houses, pensions, and medicare. So fuck everyone else.

Can. Should.

Strong agree.

Trump dying now would be terrible for the country. If we’re ever going to heal as a nation, the MAGA cult has to see this guy behind bars, and see the rest of the Republican leadership at long last disown him.

Reimagining the Gorn:

Writer 1: remember the Gorn?

Writer 2: are you talking about the guy in the lizard costume?

Writer 1: yup.

Writer 2: that was so stupid.

Writer 1: …

Writer 1: okay. But what if we redid the Gorn and made them scary?

Writer 2: scary?

Writer 1: sure. Like … remember the movie ‘Alien’?

Writer 2: of course.

Writer 1: let’s do that.

Writer 2: do what?

Writer 1: let’s do Alien.

Writer 2: I’m not sure that I underst-

Writer 1 scribbling furiously: shut up! We’re doing Alien.

Senators are (with few exceptions) extraordinarily wealthy. When climate change is destroying crops and making some areas uninhabitable, these senators’ families will still be living very comfortably.

Remember when they owned us by refusing to vaccinate, and mask, and eventually breathe?

As if someone like Trump would even give a second thought to sending his kids off to war?

How about a new rule that if you vote for a war, you are automatically enlisted. And if you’re ineligible to enlist you must either abstain or vote no.

Garland didn’t even go after Trump for the Obstruction charges from the Mueller report.

Garland is acting like a Trump stooge.
