I love how the Star Trek TNG pilot is like this richly imaginative piece of science fiction with interplanetary politics, interesting characters, a trickster god, giant alien jellyfish, philosophy, a dash of fan service...

And then the next episode is โ€œData fucksโ€

US troops were told war on Iran was โ€˜all part of Godโ€™s divine planโ€™, watchdog alleges Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war

Full-disclosure: Iโ€™ve already watched the @redlettermedia.com review of this film, but that doesnโ€™t matter. I will watch it and laugh at the stupidity.

People of #weirdcarBS, I need your help. Iโ€™m trying to track down a documentary on car design/future cars from about 25 years ago. It would have aired on either Discovery, TLC, or A&E. There were segments about the CAD deign of the Dodge Intrepid, driverless Buicks, and the Mercedes Vario concept.

Canadian Tire store in Ottawa. giant red triangles everywhere

in Canada we have a store called "Canadian Tire" and you're probably thinking "a store named after a tire definitely has a circle for a logo" but no, you're wrong. they chose a colossal red triangle

This is getting too predictable. Conservative media, supposedly representative of the party of self-described โ€œfamily valuesโ€, always becomes the last refuge of those accused of sexual assault, physical abuse, racism, transphobia, etc.
Conservatives are hypocrites who think you are all rubes.

The minidiscโ€™s true legacy is being a telltale visual cue that youโ€™re watching a cyberpunk thriller from the 1990s.

My sincere hope is that America will survive and move past Trump and the MAGA movement, and that 50 years from now remembering what MAGA was will be like on Parks and Recreation when they talk about how their town was briefly taken over in the 1970s by a cult that worshiped a flying lizard monster.

Whenever I watch a new episode of contemporary Star Trek, I like to play a game called โ€œWhere in Toronto was this scene filmed, and have I been there?โ€

Hereโ€™s the IMDB synopsis for the 2003 film โ€œDreamcatcherโ€:

โ€œFriends on a camping trip discover that the town they're vacationing in is being plagued in an unusual fashion by parasitic aliens from outer space.โ€

As opposed to all the boring, usual ways a town can be plagued by parasitic aliens.

AI art is just the modern day equivalent of the fable of the guy who makes the deal with the crossroads demon to gain magical blues-guitar playing skills, but (uh-oh!), at the cost of his soul.

I guarantee you none of these dickweasels wore masks during Covid. Because that was โ€œgovernment oppression.โ€
But as long as they can abuse immigrants and indiscriminately murder civilians while cosplaying Call of Duty, theyโ€™ll happily wear a mask all day, every day.
