I have no idea how Farscape holds up after all these years. The CGI won't be as good, but man the practical effects with the Muppets last forever. Also it was always so dour in Galactica. Sometimes you need monster of the week silliness.

Do you accept Never Trumpers as conservatives? If so, yes.
My dude, if only there were a deliberative body that could remove executive officers.
Superman episode where Batman goes missing and Robin recruits him to help Gotham...as Batman. Bane throws an easter island head at him and is shocked when Batman throws it back. Robin berates him to use the grappling hook after jumping off buildings.
My dude, Tom is the first generation of Republican Never Trumpers. He left the party long before.
I mean, if he's not planning on leaving office alive, then this is well...it's not a great idea, but it's an idea that can't come back to bite him if he's dead.
So Scott, as the representative ass kisser, what is your take?
Which is harder? To go into a doctors office and work through a comprehensive plan to chemically transition... ...or to walk into a Walmart and buy a rifle.
I'm going to go outside and watch a TV screen bathed in direct sunlight.
51 votes would have kept Kennedy haunting the countryside. 67 votes are required to correct their mistake.
And now that every assurance he got is demonstrable bullshit, he'll cast the deciding vote to remove Kennedy from office when he gets impeached in 2027. Yeah...I don't believe it either.
It's tough to be an atheist in a world where the gods come round in the middle of the night to toss a brick through your window.
Going to recreate that scene from La Misérables where the prisoners haul the ship into dry dock...but instead of prisoners it will be sailors and instead of dry dock it will be through DC.
Prayer works. -Kids were murdered in a church while praying.- Not going to get spicy about it, but perhaps public policy that takes temporal action would possibly be more effective.
Grand Theft Auto Australia: Oy mate, I got your shit. -For real life? Put it in the boot. I got to use the dunny.
That's useful! Thanks.
So, I don't doubt crime would go down in the areas with a crap ton of extra cops and soldiers dumped into it. But you engaged in all that extra cost for what marginal benefit in crime reduction? And what impact did it have on the commercial operations of the area?
I've noticed the animated movie versions popping up in stores and groaned at the idea starting down the dark and trying to collect two Devastators. I'll keep an eye out if they start re-releasing the live action movie guys again. Thanks!
Good. Representations by attorneys without client control are not to be trusted.
What's the plan here? Beat up Syria until the new government collapses and Israel absorbs it?
A question for you if you have a moment, I made the mistake of picking up Overload for my kid not twigging that he was a constructicon and...sigh...part of a massive set. But in looking around I don't see the others on Hasbro. Would you know if he was a re-release of an older set?
Them: Tom is homophobic. Tom: [Semi-regularly appears on the Bulwark with Tim Miller.]
Ctrl+F "Subpoena" No results found. Well, I think I'm going ask follow-up questions and see if I can't get this delayed until January 2027.
Master difficulty lock with no perks vs just picking up the key on the little table?
When it's Comer and Mace you know it's a good faith ask and won't boil down to bitching about how Wikipedia says Comer, Mace, et al are a bunch of partisan crack brains.
It's a hard life reading words with "istic" in them and having this response:
It is interesting that guidance is such that -healthy- people are discouraged from getting the vaccination...which just makes them more likely to be VERY unhealthy in the long run.
Gods too. Which is why Lavaelous "Rincer of Winds" got the shaft for avoiding it. The Gods hate a clever man.
Why are they threatening me with a good time?
If my boys were killed, I would be overflowing with rage if Gowdy told me this. Jesus loves my boys more than I do? Where was Jesus when they were murdered?
WHY NOT LUCKY'S DAD? He knows he let down his guard.
Wh...why? Why the children? Why not Bandit and Stripes?!?
I regret I read as much as I did of this thread to understand the joke.
See, it's not a problem that we killed kids if they were the kids of bad people. Sins of the father and all of that. Kill 20 kids when you blow up a building. That's bad. Kill 20 kids whose parents you were looking to kill anyway, well...that's just collateral damage.
In Germany, scientists have made a breakthrough in treating Parkinson’s by implanting a chip in the brain that sends precise signals to restore movement. A stunning leap in neuroscience—witness the power of innovation and the beauty of science in action. Powerfull content
Kind of a lost footnote in history that the Secretary of Defense tendered his letter of resignation rather than continue to serve Trump.
Ehhh...there are several internal functions that may do random reviews. But to statistically pull Schiff and the Fed member from the random number generator...nah. It's improbable that they weren't specifically targeted.
With the President's power to veto, it would take 67 votes in the Senate to claw back ICE's budget. It would take the same strength as to remove the President.
I'm easily imagining a scenario where Democrats take back the House and Senate (not 2/3) and Trump just ignores them, takes his unlawful incomes and spends them as unlawfully as he likes, free in the knowledge that Congress won't remove him or his officers.
I choose the believe this and ignore my suspected purulent origins of early Bluesky.
Let's return to the era of feudal societies and slave states where punitive authority was absolute and societal transgressions were met with immediate violence.
Hey look, we have an example for that one Congressman of Trump saying Ukraine went to war with Russia.
We need a reporter to ask if a particular policy decision was Juche.
We had a door on the loan department with a five button push button combo lock. Three of the five buttons had the black paint completed worn off. Combo hadn't changed in the eight years I had been there.
Sounds like something an idiot would use for their luggage.
The most obnoxious and demonstrably false 2A argument is that an armed society is a polite society.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Which is why TV shows and movies with on-location computer hacking should: -Check for post-it notes with admin credentials. -If forced to guess, should try "Password" at least once.
Yeah...not feeling hopeful that flipping the Congress in 2026 will change the behavior of the Executive.
That poor hand. It might have a scab that lasts a week.
But I was told the people are so thankful to have loitering armed forces on every street corner.
They keep trying to frame the European leaders coming to DC as a show of how strong a leader Trump is, as opposed to them coming in fear that Trump was about to do something stupid.
The precedent is being set if not rebuked. Accusation alone is sufficient for termination.
The xenomorph is cool and all, but I'm pretty high-stress about the plant thing hanging from the ceiling, the eye guy, and the blood sucking walking sticks. Stopped watching because a friend was interested in watching it with me when our schedules line up.
Host: What if other countries started nationalizing their domestic industries and gave them favoritism? US: Brilliant idea, right! Reagan:
Oh my god. Yeah, I suspect Korea would have a bit of bad blood on the whole issue of their women being forced into sexual slavery by occupying Japanese forces.
Got this achievement and the return of Maul is both cool and interesting and really stupid. Also, the end of Clone Wars is awesome in its action and tragedy. Best worst line from Maul: We are Lords....CRIME Lords. My dude...not how it works. Organized crime requires organization. Not a sword.
1) This would normally be the quiet part. 2) They should be sure to inventory EVERYTHING and ensure none of his golden bribes leave the building.
Speculative investments for a richer tomorrow.
We cordially invited the emperor of Japan and his ministers on board a US ship of War and signed their unconditional surrender. I don't remember how Germany surrendered, but I feel it orbited around Hitler's suicide and the Allied powers taking Berlin from the east and west.
[creaky old man voice] I remember when August was the start fall. Now six of the next ten days are forecasted to be above 90. The other four are high 80s WITH a chance of rain. So humid, muggy, and awful.
Sort of a redemption story. Snappy writing and hilarious situations. Peacemaker gets fucked up by a raccoon off-screen, and the only remark is someone saying, "That is exactly how I would imagine a wild raccoon would react to being grabbed."
Was sick over the weekend and powered through Season 1 and really appreciated the character growth. Vigilante was great. I was...confused about Season 2. He takes cocaine, and an orgy manifests? How? Why? He's not hallucinating because the Economist sees them.
Right wingers groaning in pain as their free-market souls try to force their way back into their bodies and denounce the government ownership of private entities.
Couldn't campaign over the weekend. Something is in the air, and I just felt like garbage.
Glad I got my Ikea in already.
Lot of high level people to talk so cordially with a convicted sexual predator. On, and to try to get testimony against the birthday book.
Feeding our AI vast amounts of copyrighted material is fine because we can walk all over small holders. -Produces content owned by The Mouse. -Produces content owned by a litigious Englishwoman with deep pockets.
Like, what did they think he was going to say?
I totally could dress in a full suit, tie, and stylish hat. The only problem is that it's 95 outside and over 100 when you factor in humidity.
I'm sympathetic with spending time and energy - post launch - to develop additional content and sell it. Spending time -prelaunch- smacks of carving out content and day one DLC creates a huge credibility gap. Interested in playing it, but will wait for a bit. FOMO isn't something that plagues me.
It's not even old-timey. Cracker Barrel got started in 1969. Though to their credit, the shareholders booted the founder CEO in 01 because of his discriminatory polices against homosexuals.
The Kobayashi Maru of beauty contests. But still, going for the booty reward when Athena has a deep bench of champions in her back pocket, ready to kick your ass, was not ideal.
If the news reported Zelenskyy beat Vance into a crying ball of piss, I'd say Vance deserved it.
The Trial of Paris is one of those things where the best choice is not to play. Any choice would have screwed him. But siding with the love goddess against a war goddess AND the matriarch of the Gods was...(sigh). Paris, my dude, do you know what Hera did to Hercules?
Yelp for toilets. Lol.
When Trump meets DC residents where they live.
Stop talking like a crazy person and stop mimicking the President's style. Uhuh.
Thinking about the last time Trump rode forth and used the police to beat the shit out of anyone in the street to ensure his walk was uninterrupted.
Actually pretty enjoyable. Formulaic human v human action, followed by brutal boss battles with the Predator over three stories. Though I would say the ending was a bit nihilistic compared to the ending of Predator 2 and PvA, and even undercuts the idea that they have some idea of honor.
After a generation of selective political breeding, your next Senate Majority Leader is...
Your next Speaker of the House, sashaying his way down for a "debate" with his opposing candidate.
Watching Predator: Hunter of Hunters and thinking hunting Vikings in the middle of winter would be...easy mode? They came in the overly hot summers in first two movies because it gives the humans a slight edge over the heat based vision.
CGI has its place, but Jurassic Park will always age well because of the scenes with real people, on real sets, with a real big fucking animatronic T-Rex. Acting on a set covered in green fabric with green people has to suck.
Let's FOIA the translators notes and see what they were talking about. I'll bet a donut that it wasn't about Ukraine.
Reported for being an impersonator.
I lost it when you take down shorter opponents with a baseball bat.
We need to talk about hope and progress and how two trucks full of white guys in Georgia ran down a black guy, shotgunned him to death, and local law enforcement did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
It's all coming up Cantard.
One is left to wonder how violent to reaction would be if Vance, Hegseth, and Miller were pelted with fast food.
MAGA is going to be so indignant that when Trump dies, we're going to throw a party..
Steven: Grok, what are your views on Indian food? Steven: ..Grok blocked me?!?
If I remember the barks: Librarian: Knowledge is power, hide it well. Chaplain: I shall not fear, for I am fear intolerant!
You used to be able to buy pizza! Now all those restaurants are closed. Seems like Sbarro is open from 7:30am-9:00pm today. Not a DC person, but it seems like they have a bunch of restaurants. www.unionstationdc.com/dining/
DC is one place where you can tell old white people to eat shit because they don't have a vote that matters.
See, we can't talk about the bad stuff...because that makes us feel bad. We should instead focus on how slavery isn't a relevant issue because we don't have racism anymore. Feel like Roberts should be asking for specifics on this "overemphasis".
Gabriel: [He want's] belief... Constantine: Oh I believe for Christ's sake. Gabriel: No, no, you KNOW. There's a difference. Constantine and the Witches would get along well.
Miller: Those old white hippies don't send their kids to DC schools or have ties to the community! What ties does Miller have to the community? He has three kids. Do they go to DC private schools? How about Hegseth? Vance? DC is famously ruled by people who don't represent them.
Turner Classic Movies did wonders for expanding my film horizons. 1936- My Man Godfrey is a fantastic comedy and available on YouTube for free! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiSj...
The 1980s called, and they said they don't have time to bleed. The 1970s called, and they said they need a bigger boat. The 1960s called, and they said to GET YOUR STINKING HANDS OFF ME YOU DAMN DIRTY APE! The 1950s called, and they said to let my people go. The 1940s called and whispered...rosebud.
