  1. They are trying to thread the needle on not rehashing too much of TOS as well as bridging this crew to TOS. I expect the episodes leaning up to “Pike ending up crippled” will be fucking amazing. All the pieces are there.
  2. I’m not fully caught up, but Uhura and Chapel?
  3. It’s unfortunate that this will get Chicago bombed, but the story ain’t going to get buried otherwise.
  4. We can blame our parents, but I can point to the fact that the fringe political movements in America (on both sides) over the last 50 years have always drawn heavily from the college crowd. Because they don’t know any better, and they read a little Ayn Rand or whoever, and whatever is read on the left, and think that they are enlightened and that is their world view. But there are also sheltered people (probably some overlap and college freaks them out) who maintain dumb beliefs that were passed down to them. I’ve had somebody I went to high school with claims there were no gay or lesbian students when we were there. Me pointing out several people in the LBGTQ crowd in our class, and that I went to two same-sex marriages of classmates of ours doesn’t change their thinking - because “they weren’t gay back then”.
  5. So apparently RFK Jr. is blaming autism on Tylenol, and that "report" will be out later this month.
  6. There are groups actively lobbying the Texas legislature and Abbott to drop vaccine requirements for kids as speak. And yes, we are this fucking dumb. Remember, Abbott has to outdo DeSantis/Florida.
  7. I didn’t peg you as somebody named “Counsel Refrig”. Interesting.
  8. Let’s call it what it really is - a good old fashioned distraction for the American yokels.
  9. That’s a “war” that’s been waged since the 70s. Sounds like we aren’t fighting a war, but instead feeding a military-industrial complex and a law enforcement and prison industry.
  10. Holy shit, Gun Jesus has a scuba channel https://www.youtube.com/@DeepDiveWithIan
  11. but still...
  12. Or wait until say November or December when temps are a wee bit cool and just take out large parts of the Russian power grid. No way they have the air defenses to protect their grid around Moscow and St. Petersburg.
  13. Clearly the solution is to *checks notes* have your social media platform-turned-AI crank out shitty AI porn so your incel fan base stays home in mom’s basement jerking off rather than getting out and meeting real people and trying to procreate.
  14. The MAGA in my family are losing a bit of steam. Granted, about half my family is rural and of that, putting aside the olds, a lot of them are either in agriculture or rely upon it on some way (bank employees, auto dealers, etc. in the surrounding areas). DOGE really fucked around with some of them - I don't think they paid attention to who was buying their product down the line in the past. Of course, they don't grumble about Trump, but instead about Leon, but I like to remind some of them who put Leon in there, and that if Vance's crew get their way, DOGE will be nothing compared to what they will do. And that's before tariffs really take their toll.
  15. Oh, they loved putting their jobs or college on hold so Abbott could get his photo ops while they played border patrol (and getting paid less than Border Patrol/ICE). If they get shipped off to Chicago for Trump's photo ops and they end up fucking cleaning parks. and especially if it drags into winter, well just keep it up and let's talk about retention a few years down the road when contracts come up. And if they are going to constantly be photographed and have their shit plastered all over social media memes and ridiculed/cussed at by Chicagoans, yeah, fucking great for retention.
  16. Trump is a fucking developer and has never shown any comprehension when it comes to why we have such a large military, and why so much of it is deployed overseas, because it doesn't directly affect people like him - we don't do it because we want democracy around the world (although that would be great), we do it because we want to project American power, both financial and military. Where we project power, American companies can do business. During the Cold War, if a country was within the Soviet sphere-of-influence, American companies were not going to get in there to pick up contracts or sell stuff or strip the resources out. We keep ships on the ocean to keep sea lanes open, etc.
  17. Will they show up at the polls next year without Trump at the top of the ticket, and with all of the Epstein/Maxwell stuff that will come out in the next 11 months? Many sure as well won't be excited.
  18. Tha fuck you doing on this thread during a game?
