Good. While I'm sure Bluesky will end up just as toxic as Twitter was before the Musk buyout, It can't get much worse than post-buyout Twitter.

Yup, the media shares a LOT of the blame here, an I'm not talking about the propaganda networks, like Fox, Newsmax, etc. I'm talking about supposedly left biased organizations like MSNBC and CNN. They wanted a horse race and shirked their duty by LETTING Trump spew disinformation and then NOT...

Also has one of the most memorable lines in the franchise, but yeah, probably the low point of the TOS movies.

What would a new Manhattan project be, anyway, Antimatter weapons? Artificial singularities? Guy is friggin animated Cobra Commander.

Yup, and despite some of the events being different, we are closer to WWIII than at any time since the cold war *sigh*

Trump has done nothing to deserve respect, IMHO. He stirs up fear and hatred, treats women as sex objects and only tells the truth twice a day.(Maybe this was posted in the wrong thread, though)

Indeed. I was always understood it was so the katra could return home to Vulcan(at least before Enterprise fleshed things out). Kind of a 'last voyage home' type of thing. Despite their devotion to logic, the Vulcans were always very keen on tradition and rituals. That was evident from all...

Still here, I think. I could just be a quantum echo, though. Sometimes I'm not sure.

Also Trump's popular vote lead has shrunk to less than 4 million. It's hardly a mandate. He's winning by about 2.4 to 2.5% Heck, even Biden won a larger percentage of the popular vote in 2020, Last time we saw a candidate even break 5 points was Obama in 2008.

A lot of manufacturing in general has been moving to southeast Asia, not just toys either. But Trump is planning on tariffs on ALL imports, just higher tariffs on China.

Well said, Cybersnark. Worthy of a Picard monologue.

Yup, and some misogynists are now telling random women 'Your body, my choice'..... It's gonna be rough. Homophobes and transphobes are similarly ramping up their harassment campaigns. If I wasn't responsible for most of my families income, I'd go out and protest and protest hard to let these...

RFK was once a more reasonable man and has clearly lost it over the past few decades. Musk and Trump are cut of the same cloth. Only reason I can see Trump ditching Musk is because their egos keep getting in each others way.

I don't trust myself with deadly weapons.. Heck, I barely trust myself with a 1 ton vehicle that I'm using for peaceful purposes.

Yup, super close, Senate is about the same. Slightest amount of dissension in the republican ranks will make it difficult to for them to pass anything. Reps and senators in swing districts/states could be the only thing keeping the worst aspects of the republican agenda from going through. A...

There IS some truth to that, though. Even Trump has a broken clock moment from time to time. Fighting him on a good idea just because he is the one who proposed it is lunacy.

Had to disengage from a few trans online spaces. The doom and gloom at those places was doing a number on my mental health....

Yea, it's looking like a Republican trifecta at the moment. Only silver lining is the margins in both the House and the Senate are slim, which means that the few moderate Republicans that are left can potentially block some of the most extreme legislation and there's no way for them to expel...

I'm lucky that I'm still closeted and am in a safe state(for now) but I do fear for my fellow trans people who are in more dangerous situations.
