People can't tell the difference between truth and fiction based on the accounts we have available to us now. It's not going to be easier in the far future....

Most people's occupations are public knowledge. While I can make an argument for keeping some positions secret, none of those seem to apply to ICE agents in the first place, so publish away! (Even without regard to the very good arguments already made)

It does seem so quite often, but there's also the issue of scheduling. Shadow Docket allows a lot things to happen much more quickly than waiting for the actual hearings and deliberations and so on....

It seems important to point out here that this latest news isn't really a "ruling," at least not in the sense we normally use that term. The Supreme Court is actually saying that they're not granting a request to freeze an earlier order. They've not actually taken up the case fully. If and when...

These guys don't really understand how boycotts work, do they? These things only have lasting impact when conducted on the premise that folks otherwise WANT to support the thing being boycotted. It's saying, in essence, "we don't like this thing you're doing, but if you change your ways, we're...

Yeah, even as a distraction, this one's pretty odd. Who even knew that there WERE classified Earhart files, let alone were asking for them? And it's not shock value, guaranteed to rile people up, like his military takeovers of Democratic cities....

(Not to mention his career spanning decades even before that...)

Batusi, you say?

That previous potential instance (I confess to not remembering Discovery well) notwithstanding (and it's possible that he was simply wrong in that example), I don't think the show has portrayed Pike's predestination as "nothing else CAN happen to him" (indeed, the end of S1 explicitly suggests...

Picked up? The previous incumbant was also a Democrat, and the district is known for being deep-blue.

I think the past week has made more than clear. He's planning to go to war with the American people, specifically those living in "liberal" cities. He's even starting to say so out loud....

So, what folks are saying is, because a date was indeed mentioned at some point in a story in the past, in a context that was simply "you're really old now!" and decidedly NOT "you were a lot older than Kirk was, weren't you?" folks are screaming that continuity has been violated? Let me try...

I admit to being shocked to learn that Tesla shares are actually UP 60% since this time last year. There was indeed a time during the rat's involvement with Trump's DOGE where they were falling, but the shares are well above the height before that tumble, too.

I'm content with this explanation, but still feel free to agree to disagree. I don't see anything in the canon where Scotty being older than Kirk is essential to any plot in any way. That the actor is visibly older doesn't really matter too much to me, because people visibly age at rather...

I need to see that cited with canonical source material. Not just something a wiki says.

I am not aware of a single reference in any show that canonically requires Scotty (the character, not James Doohan, the actor) to be older than Kirk. Where are you getting this, that it's such an issue for you?

Yeah, I don't think we should read too much into Silverbolt's inclusion here, but I do think it's interesting that they had to pull an old G1 figure out of storage when they were otherwise promoting their recent ML releases.

Well, for one thing, if they're still allowed to travel, they could infect a bunch of the rest of us before they go.... (Herd immunity only works if a certain percentage is vaccinated, thus protecting those few for whom vaccination remains unaffective)

I don't really think so. I mean, sure, "MAGA" wasn't yet a way to refer to it, but "jingoistic testosterone fest" and MAGA are practically synonomous otherwise.

I'm not going to get into an argument about how wrong you are to disdain Trek when it goes all out for the silly humor, but it really does need stating that they DID handwave a technobabbly explanation for why they not only looked Vulcan, but started thinking/acting like them too (a specific...
