I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

Shaxs from Star Trek Lower Decks is pictured. He's a cartoon, because Lower Decks, besides being the best effing show ever, is a cartoon. Shaxs is a big burly man wearing his gold Star fleet uniform and also an apron over the front like he's doing some sort of art project or baking a nice sourdough. In each hand he's holding a broken bottle like that thing you do where you take a bottle and break off the bottom and then use it as a weapon. His eyeballs are bulging large, his brow is furrowed, and he looks absolutely unhinged with rage and fury. Closed caption reads, "Fighting fascism is a full time job!"

Star Trek The Voyage Home with the Whales scene. Here pictured is Scotty, Bones, and a third fella. Bones is in a leather jacket, Scotty in his red uniform, and the 3rd fella looks like a middle management type with a tie, brown sweater over shirt, and a big red button that reads "I quit smoking." Bones and ex-smoker guy are in a wood panel lined office standing and looking down at Scotty who is sitting at a computer & holding a mouse up to his mouth. He has a encouraging smile on his face. Closed caption reads, "Hello, computer."

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're on the bridge and see Riker in uniform slumped over the captains chair/arm console passed out. Behind him, we see Worf's arms also danglin', so something is definitely up. No caption. (but Fridays, amiright?)

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. We're on the Defiant I think, or maybe a runabout shuttle, the lights are dim. We see Jadzea Dax in Starfleet uniform, a humanoid alien who has lil tattoo looking marks up around her neck and through the forehead. Here she's making a scary angry face at the camera. Closed caption reads, "Boo!"

DS9 scene. Rom is a Ferengi hero who has a large bald head and giant ears and lobes that sort of connect to make a unibrow and a ribbed pine cone looking nose. He's wearing a jacket that looks like those lick and stick backsplash tiles you can get at Lowe's. He's pictured here standing in a corridor, talking to someone and holding/reading a PADD. Closed caption reads, "Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains." Alt in pic 1 Happy Labor Day

Star Trek The Original Series scene. Ok, we're on ship and see Dr. McCoy and Captain Kirk, but we see McCoy frontally and Kirk from the backaly. Bones is holding furry balls in his hands between he and Kirk. McCoy's fluffy furry balls are about cantalope sized. Closed caption reads, "It's seems they're bisexual"

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're uncomfortably close in on Kirk, shot from a little under and looking up at him. We're in the transporter room but the lights are low and red so it's dark and eerie. He's a bit sweaty and moist looking, and has a scheming look on his face. Closed caption reads, "[SINISTER MUSIC]

I was born in 1980 in Illinois and grew up in Wisconsin and I plainly do not know what the fuck this moron is talking about

Only in America could a white man with a current net worth of $2 billion see himself as part of a victimized group. 🤦‍♂️
A screenshot of a message attributed to Marc Andreessen appears in a chat format with a gray background and white text bubbles. The first bubble states that he was born in 1971 in Iowa, raised in Wisconsin, and that his generation was told to endure discrimination as repayment for past American bigotry, even though the discrimination was now directed at them. The second bubble claims the last eight years, especially the summer of 2020, ended that complacency. The third bubble says “my people” are now furious and unwilling to tolerate it. The fourth bubble accuses universities of being central to a “counterattack,” alleging they both discriminate against “us” and spread the opposing worldview. The final bubble claims: “They declared war on 70% of the country and now they’re going to pay the price.”

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're in Data's personal quarters and he's sitting at his desk working on his future space laptop. Behind him are panel touchscreens filled with LCARS schematics. In picture 1, Data's cat spot has jumped up and is standing on his computer. Picture two shows Data setting his cat back down on the floor. Picture 3 shows Spot has now jumped back up onto the desk. Caption reads, "(meowing)". Pic 4 shows Data sternly looking at Spot, closed caption reads, "Spot, you are disrupting my ability to work."

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

How is macOS multi-monitor support so awful? I have to fix it multiple times a week. Today, it literally forgot which monitor should be where when it went to sleep over my lunch break. Maybe spend a little less time on Apple Intelligence and a little more time on the fundamentals...
