Here's a Nintendo lawsuit I can get behind for once.

Somehow, Condoleezza Rice returned.

It's in a serving dish too, as if they walked up to the bar and asked Guinan for "one Romulan indoctrination device."

There is no hell deep enough for the person who thought up the idea of charging people extra to choose their airplane seat.

Remember when they were gonna have a big Star Trek Convention in Seattle and they hyped it up for months and then they just..

Attempted suicides, fights, pain: 911 calls reveal misery at ICE’s largest detention facility The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas.

“Never again” is meaningless if it doesn’t include this. There’s no reason to mince words other than cowardice: these are concentration camps and never again is now.

"Star Trek is out of production for the first time in ten years! Starfleet Academy killed the franchise!"

The studio ordered season 2 of SFA before the first had even premiered. There are TWO more seasons of SNW to be released. There's a new movie in development. It's not dead. Be serious.

I did during Covid as well, especially if it was a place where I would have dined in ordinarily.

That too

Perhaps this is unreasonably stubborn on my part, but I draw the line at tipping for takeout.

nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....

The good news: We've found a data-storage medium that can outlast clay tablets!

I suppose it's not *that* much more difficult than deciphering cuneiform... 🧪⚛️

I'm not saying they're perfect by any means or that you shouldn't be disappointed with the Democratic Party. I certainly am. Genuinely believing they are no different from Republicans requires a huge disconnect from reality though.

Me: Shares an image of a news summary that says all but one Democrat in the Senate voted to stop an illegal war, and all but one Republican voted against them.

Rando in my replies: Democrats are just as bad as Republicans.

Senators blocked an effort to make President Donald Trump end strikes on Iran. What happened? Democrats forced a vote in an attempt to halt a war started without the consent of Congress. Only one Republican voted in favor and one Democrat voted against.

I don't even have to click the link to know that one Democrat was my perennial disappointment of a senator.
