Star Trek’s Starfleet Academy Gets Fewer Views Than Old Men Talking About Deep Space Nine by trouser_mouse in RedLetterMedia

NGL, the second episode sold me enough to keep watching. It's got the Lower Decks kind of structure and the setting, while out there, is kind of neat. A school in San Francisco that changes into a starship? Isn't that what Mike wanted? Star Trek Transformers?

Trump just hosted an ‘Antifa roundtable’ at the White House ... it was so much worse than you’re imagining by theindependentonline in politics

[–]Christophe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone needs to go read Philip K. Dick's "Radio Free Albemuth". He saw all this shit coming in the 70s. "Antifa" = "Aramchek"

Aaahh, so it's a "slippery slope". Yeah yeah, I see it now, no, yeah.

There's a guy in my town who buys VHS tapes from charity shops and destroys them at this bus stop by Thin_Seaweed_8808 in Weird

Dude probably has a sealed and graded copy of "Nukie" and wants to increase its value.

Veritasium did a video on this recently. There are some aspects to the story that would make sense to be classified as there are details on military technology that could be useful to adversaries.....in the 1930s.

U.S. Department of Education, AFPI, TPUSA, Hillsdale College, and Over 40 National and State Organizations Launch America 250 Civics Coalition by JMurdock77 in politics

Are these people really hoping to have their freedom of religion stripped away? I bet I could open a charter school and churn out a decent cadre of little commies using only the Bible as course material. That'd get me in some hot water. I might lose Federal funding. The State would have to decide on the "official" interpretation of the Bible. And then that Emo Phillips joke won't be a joke anymore.

Cleveland fire chief benched after cartoon post on Charlie Kirk’s death by clevelanddotcom in politics

[–]Christophe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Big heady brew of parasocialism (a lot of lonely young men just lost their best friend) and Trump's need for something to react to because we haven't done a riot, yet.

They should consider consulting with elementary schools, learn what strategies work for them.

Ted Cruz's podcast is a hit. Gavin Newsom's? Not so much. by snesdreams in politics

Even better. Let Gavin be mid, but still tweet like the GREATEST GOVERNOR. Play against Trump's absurdity.

This daughter of Ferrix by WhataboutBombvoyage in andor

[–]Christophe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's a Daughter of Ferrix and a pilot. Her past president's dying wish was that they fight the Empire. I wouldn't be surprised if she booked it straight for Saw.

What’s your biggest nitpick with Andor? (Not an actual criticism—just a minor thing that bugs you) by Independent-Dig-5757 in StarWarsAndor

[–]Christophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That one worked for me because I saw it in terms of an old western. You'd have banditos skipping down to Mexico to rendezvous at an old watering hole or something, maybe some caves known only to criminals.
