Scream 7! It absolutely sucks! It's bad enough that the little preview I'm giving you this week is the piece's kicker:

I will note that, since the time of publication, Tube Boy has been replaced by a Meowth named Buffy and a Dugtrio named Diane

like this is what i'm talking about. i'm grateful that schumer and jefferies are calling for a war powers resolution. the material substance is there. but all the references to "costly wars," the posturing about "well of COURSE we must be HARSH, but we should have been briefed!"... it's so slimy

i know that they talk about budget stuff because their focus groups say that works for elections. i've never run for office, so what do i know! but what a miserable, soulless person it must be who says "this is a distraction from affordability at home" in the face of eighty dead schoolchildren

it feels like a sign of an evil, evil nation that even our opposition leaders are too cowardly to say plainly that an illegal war of aggression is morally wrong

if you'll be in MN this november, it may be worth noting to klobs that your support for her in the gubernatorial election, should she win the primary, is conditioned on her response to this crisis

smith and omar have called for a war power resolutions vote immediately. i urged them to go further and press for impeachment, but please thank them for what they've done.

klobuchar, to my knowledge, has done jack shit so far. she deserves your anger!

second illegal war in two months. jesus christ, have mercy on us.

it feels so stupid to be like "please call your reps" but it does matter. if you're in minneapolis:

sen. amy klobuchar: 202 224 3244
sen. tina smith: 202 224 5641
rep. ilhan omar: 612 333 1272 (DC mailbox is full)

i cannot overstate how lazy this port is. they left in all the references to the "GBA GAME LINK CABLE." zero modernizations. it costs $20, which is more than i paid for a used copy of firered in 2006 at gamestop. unfortunately, i do not regret buying it and would do so again

Starfleet Academy is the messy teen sibling modern Star Trek was missing In a franchise that's increasingly calcified, Trek's new teen drama tries something new and exciting.

Starfleet Academy is an eminently mockable show. The lead guy can't do an American accent to save his life. Every episode ends with a big speech about the moral. The Klingon is named Jay-Den. It's also the best live action Trek since Voyager. One must often meditate on the duality of all things

The best thing about Jay-Den the Klingon besides that his name is Jay-Den and he's a Klingon is that he's the best character on Starfleet Academy and one of the best characters Trek as a whole has had in like a decade

I see people are talking about how the Klingon on Starfleet Academy is named, I am not joking, "Jay-Den." I am glad more people are learning this (that there is a Klingon on Starfleet Academy named, once again, "Jay-Den")

Another thing I love about Alysa is that her embracing joy, whimsy, artistry, authenticity and prioritizing having a healthy body and mind over aesthetic conformity and optimization blows a massive hole in much of the cultural messaging being pushed on women, esp young women, right now
