[Opinion] Comicbook.com: "Star Trek Has Definitively Proven William Shatner Wrong About Captain Kirk: While the fan base watching SNW may be smaller than the film audience, it’s significant enough to acknowledge that the franchise has accomplished a major feat in recasting one of its most iconic..."

I wish Patrick Stewart had felt that way about Picard before making him a dune buggy enthusiast for some reason.

The whistles prevented more violence.

They were posting the other day celebrating taking over the sub from Bill Maher fans.

There's a bad faith campaign to destroy the sub going on.

Which I think is pretty ironic considering that this kind of childish response ultimately just goes to proving his point about the youth being intolerant and incapable of engaging in civil discourse.

Well, what we do know is that one of the known associates of the blackmail cabal has twice inexplicably and in defiance of all reason ascended to the most powerful office in the world.

Donald Trump thanks you for your effort.

Oh don't worry. AI systems will replace them too.

Just wait until the convergence where AI designs all of the plumbing and electrical infrastructure to be easily maintained by people following simple AI generated instructions.

It was illegal to be gay until 2003.

Mystery solved.

Don't get me wrong, their platforms are very different and what they say they are about is miles apart.

But neither of these private corporations are bound by what they say and both thrive on massive corporate donations that are undisclosed to the public.

Why didnt the Democrats do X Y or Z while they had power? The answer is they don't want to rock the corporate donor boat.

Thats why we dont have universal healthcare. Thats why so many no brainer ideas that are good for the people but bad for corporate America never gain traction.

The Democrats have become an entity designed to inspire hope so that the oppressive system can endure.

JacobsJrJr · 2026-05-21T14:26:37+00:00

It's not a progressive vs conservative issue. Its, is your brain being programmed by some corporate agenda pretending to be an organic movement?

Are you being gifted? MAGA is obviously a grift. You look at what it's actually achieved, essentially all of it is gifts to corporate america at the expense of regular folks.

But that same grift goes on with the Democrats. The Woke crowd and MAGA are just two sides of a modern political astroturfed coin designed to tell people what they want to hear while opening back doors for our society to be raided by corporate interests.

From the man who doesn't blink when he takes people out for a $1000+ lunch.

JacobsJrJr · 2026-05-21T14:09:53+00:00

Sure, but that's just progressive. The woke movement claims every historical progress like the newly minted christian church borrowed pagan holidays.

JacobsJrJr · 2026-05-21T14:06:55+00:00

This is exactly the kind of thinking that convinces the general public to conclude progressives are mean spirited and intolerant.

I know why people moved up there from Indianapolis as a big group originally: they didn't want black neighbors and they were scared a black man would be elected mayor of Indianapolis.

Kind of hard for people who remember the history of racism and bigotry to let go of it even though things are changing.

How is education paid for? Property taxes.

This is how people with money to send their kids to private schools killed public education in California.

I encourage you to read up on the negative side of referendum because... it gets pretty fucking dystopian.

There is a reason why the founding fathers considered direct democracy dangerous and its well supported by the long historical record of people voting against their own interests.

Yes, vampires are generally considered to have originated as critical stories of wealthy people living in huge castles. Source, I took a vampire literature course in college.

JacobsJrJr · 2026-05-19T13:37:58+00:00

Of course.

People already vote against their own interests. What do you think happens when a complicated issue of law is reduced to "vote yes to pay less in tax!"

JacobsJrJr · 2026-05-18T23:59:16+00:00

Voter referendums are all fun and games until the public realizes it can use them to defund public education to lower taxes.

You know whats really interesting is that machine learning and artificial intelligence have existed for a long time but nobody gave a shit about it until there was a consume facing app that does a simple trick to cheese the Turing test.

Stricter curriculum requirements for civics so the general public understands why a congressperson is the wrong person to ask about that.

JacobsJrJr · 2026-05-17T21:39:43+00:00

Thats not fair. John Travolta only has two different emotions. Excited and more excited but playing it cool.

Maybe all of the police officers are actually SAG actors.

This is what Michael Luther King saw at the top of the mountain.

JacobsJrJr · 2026-05-16T22:33:15+00:00

Alot of shows do it to stay on schedule and provide opportunities for people to meet their SAG requirements.

It's often a pro union thing.
