It doesn’t defang the Dominion or venerate them in any way, either. Total hat trick. They’re assholes and they could have had what they needed if they weren’t assholes. That Founder sealed his own fate with thousands of years of conditioning humanoid slaves 🙃

The genuine and sincere culture clash between the Feds and the Dominion makes this A STAR TREK EPISODE

Even back then that was something of a misunderstanding of the awkward and occasionally bloody relationship between the Nazis and the conservative German aristocracy…

I love this episode and it’s even better since this is Mũniz’ third appearance

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

I think anyone who’s reflexively dismissing any criticism of material reality in our ruling class as “ageism” is willfully eliding the fates of Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Joseph Robinette Biden…and in denial about the effectiveness of Schumer et al. at the moment

Use your fucken context clues yall. I’m not blaming my Nana for how we got here. She’s not trying to run a nation-state and fucking it up! The federal Democratic Party establishment is a big problem and part of that problem is that they are age-impaired and willfully oblivious to it.

The replies on this are obnoxious enough that I’m RPing rather than just liking. Call that a spite-share

If you don’t see the problem with the Democratic Party gerontocracy perpetuating itself at all costs, then you are part of that problem

Can that generation fuck off already? Have they not ruined enough for all the generations that follow?

What bothers me about current discussions is that they paint folks (usually disabled) trying to avoid infection as merely fearful. That we are not analyzing the situation as it is; that indeed many of us are doing so specifically because we are suffering long term issues from infection(s). 3/

“Data is an AI, he doesn’t emote or think or act like we do, he has super-speed and super-strength and super-intelligence, so I think it’s totally inappropriate for a science fiction action-adventure series to depict him struggling for his civil rights.”

90% of the discourse on this today has been some discord of “this cape book offers a flawed metaphor of inequality and privilege in the real world”

For an encore I fully expect a critique of “Batman” for being an action-adventure comic instead of a detailed analysis on a billionaire’s charity works

Anyone from “Time Wars” gets an extra 5/10 points from me

This figure is objectively not good but the fact that it’s a new mold for the fourth Deluxe Insecticon is AMAZING

Yeah ok actually this has really gotten to me - I’m going to sign off for a bit. Patrons can message in app, email info is on my website, Bsky DMs are open

Fuck it really sucks to see people with huge megaphones be like ‘u disableds are irrational fearful of the thing you have direct experience of‘

"All it took was an international terror campaign run by the government to prove it's natural to be cis"

Or on further inspection, the Preybird may indeed have been invented by Zahn but Struzan pulled from that illustration to depict them.

I stand corrected! Another instance of Zahn pulling from RPG sources with which I was not familiar. In this case a bit recursive!

It’s really disheartening to see people who admit this regime is doing eugenics fail to understand the ways in which chronically ill, disabled, and immunocompromised people are just absolutely fucked by Long Covid

I mean, it was invented for that book…

But shortly after, X-Wing Alliance took its cue from Struzan’s art to render the Preybird for that game.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Black people suffer social or literal death when we say no. He wouldn’t kiss that white woman’s ass or make nice with her, so they banned him.

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!
