Twoers are rare, but I’ll take it!
I don’t remember this quote, so I went digging and I can’t find this in the show. Anyone have a link?
4·6 days agoI went back and watched the Star Trek DS9 season 2 opener, 3 parter. Then I listened to the Delta Flyers podcast to hear some insider info and context.
I’ve seen the series multiple times, so I can picture just about every scene when the Flyers are going through their synopsis, but I thought I’d try to rewatch the episodes first and then listen. I enjoyed it, but the practice also enforced the fact that I really have seen TNG, DS9 and Voyager a ton and I wasn’t missing much in my internal teleplay.

303·7 days agoHey man, let’s take some poorly written beat poetry and put it over mediocre guitar compositions. Then we can take a talented keyboardist but make him play the shittiest sounding electric organ. And we can make sure the recording makes it all sound like a cat and some tin cans in a dryer.
12·8 days agoPhillip Seymour Hoffman. He can come back and do anything at any time. He had so much more to give and so much more to receive. God damn shame.
I’d love to see Gilda Radner come back for Weekend Update.
Annie Wersching should still be playing the Borg queen.
I don’t know if this link will work, but Moody’s just released a statement that almost half of US states are in a recession. Closer Look on GPB had a Moody’s economist on their podcast today:

"14,000 roles primarily in management, alongside around 34,000 cuts within its operational workforce”
This should bode well going into the package shipping season. But hey, at least the stock price went up after the announcement.

35·17 days agoHell arrived a while ago and it is summer on Lake Myvatn, or Midge Lake. You can’t breathe without inhaling insects, so you have to wear a mask just in case a cloud of those things happen your way.

Taste test.
I might be out of the loop - is this a known fascist, a public figure whose politics we know?
Either way, he is a Master Sargent in the US Marine Corp. He took an oath to defend the Constitution and not a single person or party. His power is bestowed by the people he is sworn to serve. If he is wearing that uniform with honor, that uniform is most definitely anti-fascist.

DINO? LINO? One of those is correct.
Nolan’s Batman film repeated a line that didn’t land with me at the time but I have since understood: “it’s not who you are, it’s what you do that defines you.”
At the time, I thought myself a temporarily embarrassed progressive, thinking all these good thoughts and waiting for my sleeper-cell handler to activate me. I’m a good person, I am ready to do good when the need arises, as long as I have nothing else scheduled that day.
But the malaise of the socially progressive 90s lulled me (and other Gen Xers) into a false optimism that things were just going to get better on their own. Our brains were also cooked by decades of deregulation propaganda. And TVs were getting bigger and cheaper, so who were we to complain?
Weiss is the next generation of this detached ideology. She’s been simmering in absurdism and pageantry so long that I don’t think she has a handle on what she really wants to do. I’m not excusing her behavior, but I can’t devine a coherent platform for her. I’m not sure any of her contemporaries actually have one, either. Just for the grift? It doesn’t make them less dangerous, but hopefully it makes them less intimidating for those of us who have felt the tap on the shoulder to enlist.
In conclusion, she sucks, she says inane things. Don’t be surprised but also don’t roll your eyes and move on. Find what you can do, no matter how small, and do it. You will instantly be steps ahead of the performative competition.
