Oh, it's been plenty normalized

The whole reason "political correctness" became a thing in the first place was bc they knew they couldn't spill their most tasteless thoughts in mixed company anymore

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

I needed this essay. I needed this so badly. It perfectly speaks to not just my issues with the season, but my fears for Star Trek going forward.

I know people think my “Star Trek is very culturally important and we can’t afford to lose it” take is dramatic, but I stand by it now more than ever.

My essay on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 is now up on Patreon! Trek has slid from bold futures into eugenics jokes & nostalgia cosplay right as the franchise is sold in a tech oligarch-funded merger enabling our growing fascist culture.

This is superb. It has reminded me that Section 31 happened though, be forewarned!

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

Liberals hit back at Vance's blunt dismissal of racist, antisemitic and misogynistic messages leaked from a Young Republicans group chat.

If this is who I think it's about, it annoys me on the rare case they put alt text on a super long post that they don't add the full text in a continuation

Congratulations prominent supposedly left wing online person, you finally used alt text again for the first time in possibly months. No, we will not clap for you doing the bare minimum. Do better.

I mean, fuck Probert. He’s easily the best, most important Trek designer in the franchise tied with the OG MJ, but besides being a chemtrails fascist, his work in the last 10-20 years sucks.

Plus there should be no presidential ship. It should be an office-bound show if it ever exists.

bold choice getting an artist with a history of racist comments and support for the current anti-democratic regime to do art for your utopian vision of the future

the man's work is etched into our brains, in my case sitting on a shelf in my house, but that was the past and he should remain there

A social media post from Andrew Probert (years back):

"What makes Trump such a great President is that HE LOVES AMERICA. During his first four years, he fought every opposition on Earth to bring America's respect level back up to what it always should be; even beyond the Kennedy years,... and certainly WAY above our National embarrassment of Obama's service to his Muslim background and bowing & scraping to all Middle East
Countries. Trump has lead an insane fight against child trafficking, sex trafficking, & organ harvesting. He has freed America from the global financial system and put America
(and the world) back on the gold standard. He created the Space Force which will insure (through an amazing satellite
system) secure voting and secure banking.
So,... yeah, I can't wait for his re-emergence,.. hopefully this month or next-"

“Cis people’s lives matter more than trans people, if you even are people.”

Ok, so I really don’t need to be respectful in my disagreement with them on that, but unfortunately I am, sometimes I kind of need to be to not find myself dead.

“Folks need to learn how to disagree without being disrespectful.”

The thing is, I am respectful in my disagreements, to a fault. But since they’ve quite disrespectfully disagreed with me, they see disagreement as inherently disrespectful and moreover, inherently something done by others.

Israel has killed at least 9 Palestinians since the ceasefire, including a journalist. And the people in Gaza are still denied the right to govern themselves.

The best gift my parents ever gave me was breaking that engagement off so I never had to be raised in an environment like this

I only feel sorry for the siblings that did

This is absolutely insane to me?!?!?!

People really think this is good for kids to be around?

He thinks the mental health and the cheating isn't related?!

I'm so done with Straights™

[Reddit username removed from screenshot]

Lots of men are amazing dads but horrible spouses. I work with a guy like that actually. Forever cheats on his wife. Fucked a few of our coworkers. It's a running joke at the office. But holy moly, the dedication he has for his kids can bring a tear to your eye almost. He told me he's only with his wife so his kids won't ever have the fucked up childhood he had. He grew up without a father and his mother is a grade A narcissist. I witnessed him step up to the plate for his kids when the wife was struggling with her own mental health issues.
I'll never be a fan of Kevin and I totally agree he ruined Britney but he was still the only parent who stepped up to the plate 🤷‍♀️ You tell me if that makes men like that horrible because maaannnnn people have some messed up morals but you can never label anyone all good or all bad, huh....🤔

I’d love to see that, if only for a change of pace. It’s no longer shocking when Mickey is the monster.

David J Prokopetz @prokopetz.bsky.social · 1d

I think the basic problem with all these low-effort horror movie adaptations of recently-public-domain cartoon characters is they always make the titular character the monster. Like, nobody gives a shit about a film where Mickey Mouse is a zombie; they want to see Mickey Mouse FIGHT the zombies!
