Hahaha if you watch Starfleet Academy with subtitles you see the name of the Exocomp in the elevator scene is “Almond Basket” the one from Lower decks was “Peanut Hamper”

Didn't earth only rejoin the Federation a couple years ago? I have to imagine Earth Gov would object to moving the capital so quickly. And is it really a big gesture to move the capital if it has only been there two years?

I love that they acknowledge Prodigy in Starfleet Academy. The rest of the franchise has pretended it didn't exist.

Oh, come on. They have a war college specifically for the military stuff. You are starting from a clean slate. You don't have to immediately militarize! Never going to beat the Star Fleet is a space navy expanding empire allegations. Incidentally, that's the part of the show Steven Miller loved.

I like the chemistry of the main cast in Star Fleet Academy. I am going to have to get used to the writing being so kids-showy but I don't hate it. I'm just going to have to accept the CECOT prisons, the Dawes Act stuff, and the concerning hybrid race stuff.

At least Star Fleet Academy is well lit. That's a refreshing change of pace.

The very first scene of Star Fleet Academy is every cop show alarm bell at once. I hope Caleb gets to blow up Captain Ake and her fascist federation.

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

GET OUTTA TOWN NO DEPUTY MAYORS ALLOWED

Is there a convergent time travel story out there? There are plenty of divergent ones where a character makes a choice and it splits creating branch timelines. But physics doesn't care about the direction time flows so it should work the other way around too. I imagine it could be interesting.

I'm finally getting around to the Castlevania DLC for Vampire Survivors. Holy smokes is this completion path long. Every thing I look up requires a million other things first. I'm surprised they didn't release a promo Game FAQs guide to go with it.

This is honestly the point they make it impossible to comply so they always have a reason to do what they want

Great piece: slate.com/news-and-pol...

There's an influx of shitty Democrats who were unwilling to leave Twitter until the latest CSAM thing. They refuse to use their names or faces in favor of some resist bullshit. And they all love that Third Way recommendation that Democrats move to the right supporting ICE. I hate them so much.

I was once pulled over driving to work. I hadn’t done anything. But this cop pulled me over and was, I cannot stress enough, FURIOUS. Shouting at me to not grab my phone, to not even LOOK at it, to look at HIM. He just needed to yell and seethe at a woman. www.salon.com/2026/01/12/i...

Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllll lol about that

I know never to expect anything from them but the Democratic silence on Elon Musk mass producing CSAM is nuts. www.cnn.com/2026/01/12/b...

Consider the messaging in this picture chosen by Reuters.

I knew West Wing would eventually get weird after 9/11. I forgot Leo became an Israeli hardliner who broke with the president and dictated foreign policy based on their interests. Oh well, the Qumar stuff isn't close to the most ridiculous the show gets.

I want more Democrats to attack the Democratic establishment who have been wrong on everything for at least a decade. It's important to attack AI, tech bros, abundance, and never Trumpers dragging the party to the right. Principles do matter more than short term wins.

make some noise

Maybe the conversation should be about how "moderate Dems" have been nothing but a liability that has cost the party every branch of government and iota of power, and that it's time for them to make accommodations for Progressives or shut up and get the hell out of the way.

Democrats need to realize ICE isn’t just—or even primarily—a mass deportation force. ICE is also Trump’s most loyal internal security force which will be used to attack regime opponents and try to steal the election. They should defund his authoritarian capabilities.

this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

Weird how payment processors haven't cut Twitter off yet. It's almost as if there are multiple standards

Geoff kept talking up the furry credentials of Beastars in his Winter anime sequels preview but, like, is it actually that big? 16k hits on e621 is nothing compared to Animal Crossing, Zootopia, Undertale, Pokémon, Helluvaboss, or FNAF. Individual ponies and Pokémon beat the entire franchise.

His argument is that Newsom is too left wing and too hostile to Trump—a thing that real Americans will be over by 2028. I didn't think it was possible to be more out of touch than Democrats already were.

Long before the term existed, Star Trek's heart was "woke" & even though that word has been hijacked & made a cudgel to insult, to ridicule & - at the toxic extremes of social media - to justify prejudice & racism, Star Trek's heart is strong & still beating for those listening

Smart Home? Make It Smart Quarters With This LCARS Dashboard

A reminder from Huffington Post that DHS and ICE have opened fire on unarmed civilians 16 times since Trump took office, killing 4 people. In every case, DHS claims that the victims "assaulted officers" and/or tried to ram them with cars. In every case, evidence proves they are lying. Every time.

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

Lmfao what an awesome proposal. One reason you need a 90% income tax rate at this level is these guys are too stupid to have the amount of power they do. Like giving a glock to a 4 year old

I know very little about sports but from the bits of the Packers Bears game I caught, Amazon needs to hire a graphic designer or give the one they have ritalin. That camera was switching around way too much; I never figured out the red circles under players; and the pop up info boxes were tiny.

Incredible photo.

“They need better training” is just the liberal way of wanting nothing to change but also wanting to feel good about nothing changing

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”

They know that they aren't going to be punished. Every time they aren't punished, it emboldens them. Abolishing ICE isn't enough. They need to be prosecuted.

My mom asked what these characters around Fiona Frost from Spy×Family mean. Can someone help me out? #SpyXFamily #Japanese

Interestingly, Apple pushed Tumblr off its platform with a quickness in 2018 for CSEM which lead to the (expedited but always planned) porn ban Interesting this happened to the one socmed site where queer ppl were thriving 😒

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car. He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times. The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”. They hate women & it shows.

It wasn't my intent for this scene to be kinky but somehow it is the horniest all season. Concerning for the sex scene last episode...

enjoy your deathtrap, ladies!

saw a post confused about the dem leadership's response to trump, offering them genuine advice and pointers, and it's just heartbreaking. krusty shouting advice to the washington generals. they don't wanna do it

“make big tech afraid” has to be just as much of a priority as “prosecute the criminals of the previous regime” for the next Dem admin the tech fascists are way too far out over their skis and what remains of global stability will not survive that state of affairs continuing

Those social media smear campaigns against women, especially queer women, laid the path to people celebrating the murder of a queer woman by a man in a uniform who called her a “fucking bitch” afterward. They unlocked the entitlement and rage to cheer gender-based violence from the online sidelines.
