Palestinian-American. Cat person. Mathematics professor. Leftist. Autistic but often told it’s not obvious. Nerd but not the consumerist kind. Arrogant but can back it up. Mathematic for the people.

Sometimes I wish he hadn’t so I could reply to one of his tirades with, “Shut up Wank Martindale.”
This is true: Chuck Woolery blocked me on Twitter because I asked him if he sees the irony that such a staunch social conservative spent 11 years hosting a game show about getting two people in a room and seeing if they fuck.
All three Melinoë statues unlocked in Hades II.
I’m not big on difficulty because I’m old and dyspraxic. Legitimately shocked that I did this.
Just found out the BBC had no trouble editing out “Free Palestine” within the two-hour delay, but the N-word just sailed right through to the final broadcast.
Corey’s and Kristi’s affair will have an ugly end if Corey is a furry.
I wish there was a platform like YouTube but instead they rewarded content creators for getting to the fucking point.
I believe the writers had good intentions with the Federation. But one reason “objective” perfection is better aspired to than depicted is that, if such perfection does exist, it becomes a Procrustean bed. Then all the non-Federation aliens seem irrational, inimical, or unenlightened.
I think Roddenberry’s vision of a “perfect” Federation means the UFOP always engages out-groups with a presumption of superiority. Thus, there always exists a tacit air of condescension. Plus some alien races are thin reskins of real-life ethnic stereotypes, most blatantly the Klingons and Ferengi.
Don’t mistake rightists opposing the war with growing a spine or a soul. They smell blood in the water. When the king is perspiring, the courtiers are conspiring. And when the inbreeding has gone on for a while they become dull-witted enough to do it in public.
Iranians aren’t Arabs but I’m tired of American politicians bombing this one region just to assert penile legitimacy.
Shit, I had no idea this‘d be one of my few posts that actually gets eyes on it. I’m a lifelong Trekkie. I’m just frustrated that Picard’s ability to discuss and negotiate his way to peace doesn’t work in real life. Real people are messy. Human nature is intransigence and indifference to evidence.
That’s valid. But the STEM professor in me finds the Prime Directive frustrating: Starfleet technically violates it every time anyone finds out they or any of their members even exist!
I haven‘t tried watching Star Trek: The Next Generation in years. I feel like it would make me angry at this point. The show, while well-intentioned, is mostly a white, colonialist, center-left fantasy that all it takes to cure evil is to raise some good points.
They say that the road ain’t no place to start a family
Right down the line it’s been you and me
And lovin’ a plumbin’ man ain’t always what it’s supposed to be
Oh, Peach, you stand by me
I’m your Mario
It’s-a me

If only there was a previous time when the United States could have learned why it’s a bad idea to swoop down and create a power vacuum in the Middle East.
Bebop & Rocksteady by Ben Bates.
Bebop & Rocksteady have always been my favorite characters in the entire TMNT mythos. They’re a mutated Rosencrantz & Guildenstern.
Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael, Bebop, and Rocksteady by Kevin Eastman and Ronda Pattison.
Every time Kevin Eastman draws Bebop & Rocksteady feels like nature healing.
I’m fucking tired of my people serving as the western world’s hecatomb because they think going too long without violence shrinks their dicks.
u/DarwinGoneWild avatar DarwinGoneWild • 21d ago The only and I mean only remotely negative thing I’ve ever heard anyone say about Rodney is that he sells poison milk to schoolchildren. That’s it!
Trying to piece together the controversy with Game Night Picks and Watch It Played. At least I stumbled on this absolute polished gem of a comment.
Anyone saying Republicans have a Nazi problem in 2026 is like someone swimming up to the Titanic’s lifeboats saying, “Guys I think we should watch out for the iceberg.”
Children getting massacred by drones deserve a better epitaph than “a distraction from the Epstein files.”
You were correct
This! It’s a separate evil thing. We are capable of being enraged about multiple things at the same time, you know! Every new horror is called a “distraction” and this now feels to me like a weak dismissal because the people affected are not white.
“Operation Epic Fury?” In all caps? What are you, 12? 1995 just called.
My first ex used to look for any gaffe, any miscommunication, any turn of phrase she didn’t like as a pretext to get up and storm out with cartoonish theatricality. She walked in planning to stomp out.
That’s this administration with starting World War III.
They accuse Muslims of hating women, then they attack a fucking girls’ school.
I don’t see any moral difference between Israel’s ”preventative” attack on Iran and Pearl Harbor.
Using ChatGPT at this juncture of history is like shopping at Hugo Boss in Nazi Germany.
