That's consistent with everything the Right fundamentally believes: Evil and death exist, and yes it's sad, but our goal is only to assign blame for it and never actually stop it.

Imagine how many people could have been helped with $218M. How many fed, or clothed, or housed! How many educated, or given healthcare, or rescued from violence! But the Party of Death wanted their tithe in blood.

Death, not freedom. The GOP is the party of Death. Death of minorities, immigrants, women, poor. Death of the climate. Death of peace. Death of science. Death of truth. Death of law. Death of democracy. Death even of their vaulted religion, except what parts of it can be used to promote more death.

Photo of Donald Trump's brusied hand with the single worst coverup makeup ever. A two year old that got into his mother's makeup and made a mess would do better. Honestly hilariously bad.

Posted on Reddit by Awkwardly Dead During the Civil War, most Union soldiers didn’t care about the issue of slavery and were more focused on preventing the collapse of the United States. This would change as many Union soldiers encountered horrific circumstances of slavery and it’s widespread influence on southern society, with accounts like these: “The following day, soldiers “learned, and saw the cause of the alarm in the form of two negro women—a mother and a daughter.” The pair had fled to Union lines to avoid the proposed sale of the “goodlooking” daughter into the so-called fancy trade, which soldiers viewed as a form of concubinage.” “Public sentiment is so corrupt,” Cpl. James Miller claimed, that nobody in a Virginia town “seems to think that there is anything wrong with” a wealthy, well-respected community leader selling his own child. ” “Uncle Toms Cabin bad as it was fell far short of portraying the evils of slavery,” Miller claimed.” “to think that these slave-holders buy and sell each other’s bastard children is horrible”. Pvt. Chauncey Cooke, Twentieth Wiconson” “Pvt. Chauncey Cooke experienced an epiphany when a fair-skinned slave woman whose children had been fathered and sold by her master told the young Wisconsin boy that her children looked like him, and that she missed them dreadfully because she loved them “just likes you mammy loves you.” ” “When an Iowan encountered a young child about to be sold by her own father, who was also her master, he vowed, “By G–d I’ll fight till hell freezes over and then I’ll cut the ice and fight on.”Sgt. Cyrus Boyd. (Thanks for correction) For more accounts like these, please read What This Cruel War Was Over by Chandra Manning, a fantastic resource on opinions of the Union army during the war.

Has Fox / NewsMax / OAN spent enough time instructing the redcaps that pedophilia is good yet?

There need to be travel advisories about states that are openly hostile to human life.

Be careful. It's laced with something.

Makes me think of that.... I don't know what it is. Warhammer? 🤷‍♂️ The thing where Orcs have "technology" that works because they *believe* it will work. This is a hype-based economy: It doesn't produce anything, and in fact destroys things, but it generates revenue because they believe it will.

I cannot imagine Disney being willing to let their IP get used to generate new shows/movies by AI. They are some of the biggest pressure for the near-century copyright laws we have already and they're extremely litigious. And their live-actions may as well be AI generated quality already.

Sounds like a new take on the old myth of the man that falls in love with his reflection in a mirror.

Ok, but Eric Adams is Mayor today. Did he or his policies prevent the shooting? Under his mayorship, did the Police prevent it? No? Then don't tell me that Mamdani might not do any better than Adams is doing now.

Compare that to Ladyballers, in which men pretend to be women to win at sports. Then one character, who spent the whole film acting how the movie says women should act, wants to stay a woman at the end, gets laughed at, and sadly transitions back. Roll credits.

"Let" the world burn? No. This isn't passive. It's actively destroying the planet. "Burn the world so a few hyper rich oligarchs can increase their score on the rich person leader board."

At least he had some presence first. Icheb was just killed for shock value.

He was kinda the ONLY Vulcan. Spock is half-human and emotional. T'Pol used drugs to become more emotional. Soval is short tempered and emotional. But Tuvok remained committed to logical stoicism.

I think the idea was the Feds are integrated, with multiple races working as mixed crews and each person free to pursue their interests, but the Dom races are specialized. No mixing. Single purpose. You are a cog in a machine. So the Vorta lead, the Jem'hadar fight, the Karemma make weapons, etc.

That was what killed Discovery for me. I was limping through the series up to that point, but that ending broke me. It remains the only Trek series I haven't finished.

But god she was sexier in the Feddy uniform. Just like Troi looked her best in a uniform. Every officer should have a uniform.

Voyager was criminally afraid of any changes to status quo. No lasting ship damage. No crew changes. No promotion for Harry. Just mash that reset button every episode. It would have been great to give Cmdr. Akoocheemoya a sendoff and have it affect the remaining Maquis officers.

I liked the idea that the viewscreen is a small holodeck, projecting 3D view of the exterior. And with later ships having more holo projectors, it shouldn't be hard for a wraparound view while still moving the bridge to a more secure position than the top of the saucer.

Nog was a Trek Kid at first too, but quickly grew out of it and became a main character in his own right. Jake never really grew into anything other than Sisko's son.

So when there are no more 1st-to-3rd year associates writing motions, then in five years, there won't be any 8th-to-10th year partners running the firms, will there? Funny how little thought goes into what happens when you eliminate the junior positions.
