Oh, I hear they are rebooting Blake's 7. Similar idea. Different era and country. I'll watch that one too. Optimistically.

I try not to know how the sausage is made as it tends to ruin the enjoyment of sausage.
I tend to despise reboots. But, there have been some notable exceptions.

Sen. Roger Wicker, in national spotlight, defends Pete Hegseth as Trump’s defense secretary pick - Mississippi Today Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for U.S. secretary of defense, is facing a barrage of questions from members of the powerful Senate committee led by Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker.

It was the duty of #RogerWicker of #Mississippi to protect the @usarmy.bsky.social (et al) from the leadership of a madman. Yet, here we are.
When shirking is in fashion, I know it's tough being the one guy who isn't shirking. Takes guts.
Duty will come back into fashion.
I know it & hope it's soon.

To be clear, it's not an opinion that it shouldn't be filmable, today. Just an observation that is isn't.
If it does get filmed, I'm watching it.

We know that this country has developed transportable focused sonic weapons for use against the domestic civilian population. Seems like a parallel line of development. Doesn't seem too implausible.

There you go. Firefly isn't rebootable today because Firefly wouldn't be filmable today.
Shame, & a shame it ended too soon.
Good that it got made while that was still possible.
Also, of course, half the original actors would now be too expensive for the show to afford any writers, even bad ones.

Her primary challenger's pitch is that #CindyHydeSmith is not strong enough to beat @scolom.bsky.social in the general election.
That voting for Smith, is voting to flip #Mississippi to the @democrats.org.
As a sometimes Republican voter, I know she's right.

Christian Nationalism is the term attached to expanding Israel's Empire, which is theocratic but quite notably not Christian. It's what what happens when you let the Israeli clergy bamboozle you about what the New Testament means. It's a fig leaf for violent Zionism. Blame shifting. A scam.

Cindy Hyde-Smith looking pretty replaceable this year in #Mississippi. No other reason she'd be facing a primary challenger (who isn't Chris McDaniel).
100 Senators.
@scolom.bsky.social seems like a strong candidate. Viable.
Money talks. Want yours heard?
Might consider sending some to this guy.

Wasn't a hoax.
It was a serious problem taken seriously. Did we perhaps get just a little carried away? Perhaps. But, that's just who we are.
That Y2K was not an enduring global clusterf*ck is a testament to being proactive. A thing we have forgotten how to be. #ClimateChange

No one is talking about denuclearizating the Middle East.
A radical Middle Eastern theocracy already uses nuclear weapons to destabilize the region.
If a Mexican cartel had nuclear weapons and Canada did not, the rational move would be to focus on the cartel. In this case, the cartel is Likud.

The future is about the Mississippi our children will inherit.

Safer communities.
Lower costs.
Better jobs.

That’s the future we’re fighting for.
That’s what’s on the ballot.

Got to keep hammering that wedge in between the sexes.
Otherwise they might get along.

The sh*tstorm so fast and erratic, one loses track. I know it's bad. I don't claim it's simple. Just frustrated.
