This is beyond parody. A man with a 12 year old’s political acumen.
Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino "also revered Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein's 1959 military sci-fi classic about an interstellar war between humans and alien bugs - a book his sister says he still reads to this day."
An endless amount of deranged details in this interview with Greg Bovino's sister, but most notably that his uncle produced the Jack Nicholson movie The Border and the depiction of the agent as corrupt radicalized him as a 12-yr-old.

"Since then, he was like, 'Dude, I want to do Border Patrol.'"

Been spending a little less money on dumb shit and a little more on various artists/journalists/podcasters.

Makes me feel like a network CEO putting together my own personal media company. Uplifting stuff, highly recommend going beyond social media to support people!

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

It's important to note, as I have multiple times, that it's possible to be Jewish - as I am - and still condemn Israel for genocidal acts. In fact, the history of Judaism makes it clear Jews are obligated to speak out. Never again *means* never again. #zachor
Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

A key difference between Trek and Wars that can get lost easily. One is submarines, the other is fighter jets.

I hope this goes, I love Honor Among Thieves- these guys get it.
Another Trek movie project!
With the Paramount regime change, it could be serious this time... Or not 🖖

The good news?

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves) will write and direct a movie that is said to be unconnected from anything previously done. 🙏
New ‘Star Trek’ Movie in the Works From John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein
The 'Dungeons & Dragons' filmmakers will create a project unrelated to previous incarnations.
