https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/22/politics/kamala-harris-plagiarism-allegation-congressional-testimony/index.html It grates on me when an article and its headline are at odds. Look at what Kamala did to this unsuspecting political opponent? What? Oh, the guy says that part of the speech was...

Well, I've always highly ranked: 1) Spock's genius 2) TOS not really being too concerned about proper world building But it makes more sense in this context. In ancillary stuff, we know that a temporal detection grid had been established by the time of TOS to keep out the riffraff and temporal...

A Right-wing, white-supremacist enemy within actually took over half the country on Lincoln's watch. He had to use the military to deal with it.

It is true that the border was a weak spot for Lincoln. He could not even get everyone to agree where the border was.

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-harris-election-10-21-24#cm2jhmftv001x3b6mbkm82j5i Did anyone have "I'll be as great a John Adams" on their bingo card? Edit - Does he know: 1) He would have to get Congress to declare war on Venezuela 2) The Alien and Sedition Acts are high on...

I'll bet Will Wheaton had a blast on Prodigy. This Wesley Crusher is more like Will Wheaton than anything we had seen would suggest of Wesley.

They really could have ended last season right there instead of where they did.

I think McDonalds is beautiful and sacred to him and he thinks the brown woman sullied it.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/20/politics/video/johnson-trump-military-radical-left-sot-tapper-intv-sotu-digvid I also watched the clip a few days ago where Jake interviewed a governor that he references in this one. He really ought to be asking Donald Trump because I think Donald Trump would...

I have been comforted for months that Harris was consistently polling ahead in Pennsylvania (where the decision looks like it will be made), but the newest stuff stays Trump.

I have a high baseline of not caring who celebrities are going to vote for but... I mean...a professional wrestler? If there is any basis for the idea that a WWE legend would be making good decisions about politics, please go ahead and share that.

"Look, our culture couldn't handle the truth. No way would we ever have handled the truth. Wiping out quadrillions of people from 150 planets before they could tell us the truth is really the only way to go" is definitely a hot take.

No, listen. I AM gonna call him weird.

I wonder if Tim Russ was unavailable to play Janeway's first officer in second season. I can see that the guy is an Andorian. But he sounds quite a lot like Tuvok and in everything I have seen so far, except one scene where he belly laughs, he has acted exactly like Tuvok would. If you aren't...

Watching the Temporal Mechanics 101 video made an impression on me that I didn't have before, though it can be inferred from the scattershot treatment of time travel in Star Trek. Time travel is not even especially mysterious by the late 24th century. It is as easy as building a rocket is now...

SIsko was studied up on the Bell Riots. I feel certain that he had seen a picture of Gabriel Bell before and didn't seem to have any "Aha, no wonder he looks just like me".

Prodigy just called out Cochrane's warp test and the Bell Riots as examples of temporal predestination loops. I wouldn't have thought either would be popular knowledge, but I also felt like neither WERE temporal predestination loops. I thought both were scramble to make the best of the damage...

Trump's lack of imagination is staggering. The January 6 convicts were all charged with specific crimes. 730 of them have actually plead guilty to crimes. Members of the same race and even members of the same club as rioters have not been charged. Only the ones with specific evidence that...

It's nice! None for me, though.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/17/media/florida-judge-tv-abortion-rights-ad-health/index.html Even after all I have seen, it still amazes me that a legit state government thinks they can do something like this. Teaser: Judge had to step in and tell Florida government that they cannot send...
