Mr. Dependable

I'm trying to imagine Woz & Jobs, upon being asked by DHS to remove the ICE tracker app from the Apple store, responding with "will immediately be soon enough?"

What a state for the company that built it's reputation by providing you with the tools you need to stand up to Big Brother

/5 at all.

Hopefully they figure that out and it doesn't become a running joke.

Looking forward to more Tig Notaro, and Mary Wiseman, who were, after all, the best parts of Discovery

#StarFleetAcademy

/4 as someone important enough to have a wing of the Academy named for him, and then making him the butt of the joke is, I guess, an attempt to comment on contemporary politics and rich people buying honors they haven't earned, but if that's the case, it doesn't reflect well on Star Fleet

/3 Bele and Loki are the 2 last survivors of that planet, and functionally immortal (they've been chasing each other for 50,000 years), so it's unlikely that a new member of the culture would somehow end up at the Academy.

And introducing a previously unmentioned character (Gideon Turner)

/2 is a brilliant move, Paul Giamatti looked to be having the time of his life as the big bad, I could go on. Only the tiniest of nits to pick — there's an obvious Cheronite (from TOS' Let That be Your Last Battlefield) who shows up as background in a couple of scenes. Canon is clear that

I'm only 2 episodes in, but it seems to me that ST:SFA is the first series in the entire Trek universe to get it right from the off. The characters and their relationships are real, there's a clear story arc that leaves plenty of room for individual episodic adventures, bringing back the Doctor

Illogical

Not getting any ads in Ireland. But no way I make it till halftime, even

I'm in Ireland as well, although I didn't start out here

The national league has had the designated hitter for the past 3 seasons

Why Democrats didn't make investigating/impeaching Thomas and Alito an issue when they controlled the Senate is one of life's great mysteries

I think Margaret St. Clair/Idris Seabright is still recommendable today, as one example. But in general when I talk to the younger folks in my reading group about GA stuff, I'm mostly asking what they've read, and what they liked/disliked, rather than making recommendations

A man with an American flag, standing in front of a thatched roof cottage and a stone wall, asks a young girl with red hair in pigtails, holding a pink umbrella, "Does it ever stop raining on Ireland?" She answers "I don't know, I'm only seven."

I'm so old I remember when Roe v Wade was overturned and women were going to turn out in unprecedented numbers to vote for the Democratic candidate, then Democrats hardly mentioned abortion during the entire campaign. That's what happens when you take the base for granted

I gotta say that I've lived long enough to know that engaging someone who starts a comment with "so you admit that . . ." is an utter waste of my time

What are you talking about?

Hard to believe that campaigning with Liz Cheney couldn't overcome leftist resistance and win the swing vote in Pennsylvania. Got another excuse?

Tennessee to test Stephen Miller’s plan of enlisting states for immigration enforcement Bills mandate ICE cooperation, school status checks and criminalize information release, testing constitutional lines

That Stephen Miller all on his own is out thinking and outmaneuvering the entire Democratic Party leadership is grounds enough for getting rid of each and every one of them

If we have learned anything from the past 2 months it's that the one option to prevent fascism is the willingness of the people to resist it with their very lives, not relying on Democratic party leaders who would negotiate away any potential resistance

If you want a kitten, ask for a pony

What's Ellison waiting on today?

Ellison could step up to the plate and bring charges at any time

I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition

Happy Brigid's Day!

Judge denies Minnesota’s request to end ICE surge in Minneapolis Federal immigration operation has resulted in government agents killing two people, sparking weeks of protests

I'm so old I remember when @schumer.senate.gov said "Democrats will rely on judges appointed by Joe Biden to protect his White House legacy from Donald Trump and blunt the most extreme elements of the president-elect’s agenda."

Oh, well.

Lindsey Graham shutting down the government *all by himself* for (Dr. Evil voice) five hundred thousand dollars (/voice) is the biggest fuck you to the Democrats i can imagine.

Narrator: They stood for it
