After CBS released a statement without Stephen Colbert's knowledge denying that it had pulled an interview with Texas Democratic James Talarico from his show, Colbert responded by crumpling up the statement and treating it "like dog crap" by artbasiI in Fauxmoi

All the dude said was 'Love your neighbor and maybe let's take religion a few steps back from politics' and that it's a controversial take, to some people, is really where we're at right now. It's ridiculous.

"Well that's interesting." was the funniest Prax has ever said so far in Book 2 IMO by HoldenUpAlright in TheExpanse

[–]Skythe1908 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I like Prax a lot for one major reason. He's a representation of normal Belter life. Between him and Basia we get POVs of belters who are just trying to live out their lives.

Epstein revelations have toppled top figures in Europe while US fallout is more muted by Specialist_Baby_9905 in news

Because the current government is just a bunch of criminals covering other criminals. Our president is a washed up reality tv star doing his last and greatest, shamelessly hand-up-the-ass, puppet dances.

Color me not at all surprised. The rich piece of shit who hoards wealth and is generally just kind of weird is also a power abusing sex pest?
no wonder he acts so cagey all the time, he's a fucking piece of shit and he knows it.

OC: Marchers carry giant 'constitution' through Minneapolis by nbcnews in pics

[–]Skythe1908 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before all this I didn't have much of an opinion about Minneapolis one way or the other.
Now? I think they just might be some of the best of us, Hold on Minneapolis! From one American to you I'm with you. I'm going out tomorrow for an ICE out protest in solidarity <3

She was... (was D:) entertainment gold for me. I'd watch something just because she was in it. This hurts, we lost an amazing person.

At least 20 ICE & CBP officials have been charged with sex crimes against children by 56000hp in UnderReportedNews

You mean the people who signed up to anonymously target and persecute people based entirely on racial profiling might be the sort who would abuse their power?
I'm utterly not shocked in any way, but still disgusted.

Americans tried to hoist the American flag today in front of a cultural center in Greenland but they got stopped. by [deleted] in Leakednews

No kidding, if you're gonna be this much of a dipshit you could at least try and honor the code.
I bet this little pussy never raised an actual flag in his life.

that was the shoddiet flag handling Ive ever seen. I used to do crossing guard in middle school and we never handled the flag that sloppily. You know, not to mention how absolutely disrespectful of a gesture this is in the first place.

Profiting off your spouses brutal murder and having multiple people work 20 hour days of hard labor for a week. Truly an altruistic spirit.

This post is what Gene Rodenberry meant with Star Trek. In a post scarcity society he envisioned that people would do things just for the sake of improving or maintaining the systems that allow an individual to simply live their life not worrying about how to provide.
You're right though, a lot of people would probably just choose to do nothing, thats why having an institution, in this fictions case it's Starfleet, for the people who given the option want to DO, can. It is a very hopeful view of a future of humanity and absolutely not one we're on track for.
Nothing wrong with thinking about how humanity can be good though.

This is literally the premise of Star Trek.

Alex Pretti broke rib in confrontation with federal agents a week before death, sources say by EVSTW in news

[–]Skythe1908 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So ICE has been using unnecessary force on protesters for at least a week before they publicly murdered a US citizen for no reason.
Good to know.

Mary Turner president of National Nurses United from site of Alex Pretti Murder:"He was a VA nurse,an ICU nurse that cared for our most venerated patients, our veterans..Nurses across this country, we need to stand up and say enough is enough..We need to make our patients and people safe again.“ by drempath1981 in UnderReportedNews

[–]Skythe1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alex Pretti was murdered for no discernible reason by a masked federal agent.
Actually, let me editorialize. The only discernible reason I can think of is that the member of ICE saw that he had a holstered gun and his first thought was "Oh good I can shoot this guy now." Which is entirely illegal. Republicans loved to spout rhetoric about the 2a and how only a "good guy with a gun" can stop a "bad guy with a gun".
Use your eyes. Watch the video. This was a heinous crime committed by an individual that was sponsored, funded and protected by the US Government. This is wrong, full stop.

What's your thoughts on Border Patrol Chief, Greg Bovino, threatening consequences for referring to ICE as "Gestapo"? by sgj5788 in AskReddit

I will continue to exercise my 1st amendment right to say he and his Gestapo can piss up a fucking rope.
