These threads/articles always get the facts wrong, TikTok is not “getting banned”, they are just forcing the company to divest from it’s Chinese parent company.

If you think Taiwan and Ukraine are “other countries’ wars” I have bad news for you. It’s better to pay as much money as we can now before the payment is made with american lives.
Israel is something else obviously, but the bulk of the money is absolutely worth spending if you value your freedom. It has nothing to do with the housing crisis whatsoever.

Well I did not expect time travel shenanigans in a story about the progenitors but I am not complaining. Really enjoying this season so far.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Discovery | 5x01 "Red Directive" and 5x02 "Under the Twin Moons" 1 month ago:
These two episodes were really enjoyable. Discovery is not my favorite Trek series but I have been looking forward to this final season.

Book and Saru are examples of positive masculinity on television, what does that mean to you?
Doug Jones: Thank you for thinking I am masculine at all.

Add this to the list. One day I will make the “trek” to the TOS set recreation in NY too.

I’m not but I also was not interested in a show about a space station and that turned out to be my absolute favorite so I will judge it on its own merits.
- Comment on Here’s the Elon Musk interview that got Don Lemon’s show canceled 1 month ago:
I think it’s a viral marketing campaign for Don Lemon. He still sucks but he played Elon like a fiddle here.

Watching Elon struggle to choose between admitting he’s a failure, or not the big boy boss man was gold.

Still trying to rectify the illegal immigrant thing in my own mind, have to chalk it up to Elon being misinformed about the data I guess, because that made an unfortunate amount of sense.
He was trying to point out Elon’s hypocrisy. The US has a strong existing structural political bias towards red states, who (on average) get significantly more funding and representation per person than blue states.
If Elon was truly concerned with “unfair allocation of funds” and “unfair representation in congress”, you would expect him to be upset with gerrymandering, the electoral college and other things. The fact that he only speaks up when it involved majority nonwhite refugees is telling.
That said, I agree it fell flat. Also letting him claim that the “great replacement theory” is actually just about census-related funding is like saying the civil war was about states’ rights.

The title is a misquote:
“We wrote nine episodes at one point and the network was like, ‘No, we don’t really understand this, it’s a bit too sci-fi, it’s a bit too **in-**Star Trek.’”
A weird choice Trekmovie is usually better than this
