  • James Talarico wins Democratic primary for US Senate in Texas

    Jump

  • Tbf he's Presbyterian, the same church as Mr Rogers, and by this atheist's view, the only genuinely honest Christian sect as a whole. They focus heavily on Christ's teaching on community, believe in the charitable service of others as the devine will of god, and they don't prostilitize or require tithes. That's not to say bad people can't be apart of any faith, but as he's a minister of that church (like Mr Rogers) I'm inclined to think he's honest about those core beliefs and not just riding the good name of the church like other politicians have.

    Ultimately none of that really matters. He's on record more progressive than Crockett, and unlike her, did not take AIPAC money. That should be a deal breaker for any voter I don't care what party, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion.

  • 'We need to fully abolish ICE': Kat Abughazaleh talks immigration | Chicago Report Debates

    Jump

  • All I can find is that her parents and grandmother were Republicans. Her Palestinian father coming to America after the 1948 Israel-Palestine war. Lot of refugees gravitate to whichever party was in power when they immigrated here.

    Can't find anything about her being a Republican prior to this, just a reporter.

    I did see the town hall she did with other candidates holding yes/nope signs and she confidently signalled all the right answers that wild align with Progressives/DSA.

    That is a bummer though if she's resisted DSA assocation.

    But yeah I get being cautious about "new progressives" that are turncoats like Gabbard and Fetterman. Shit is pure evil.

    We got more games and better games when there was less money being made in the industry.

  • Yeah this. I hardly touch AAA titles anymore besides some Nintendo and Rockstar. But I've put in hundreds of hours in indie games, AA simulators, and some big studios' smaller projects like Square Enix's HD2D titles.

  • Why Russia’s Best Cold War Tank T-80 Is Disappearing

  • That T-90 MBT that got taken out by a Bradley just running circles around it and hammering it 100 times was hilarious.

  • I'd be shocked if the NSA doesn't have copies even without the rest of the government knowing.

  • Worst day of my life

    Jump

  • Yeah that was my first thought too. Was like, if sex is combat... wait how are there any STRAIGHT Klingon men actually??? Nothing more honorable than defeating a stronger foe in combat.

    Also with how ingrained group dynamics are in Klingon society, I'd be surprised if poly group relationships weren't commonplace.

    Ultimately I like to think its never been brought up before because the Klingons are an enlightened, advanced civilization and the idea of two dudes banging doesn't even occur to them as dishonorable or wrong.

  • Confirmed: Comic Book From ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Ep. 6 Was NOT Created With AI

    Jump

  • Not really a surprise, people dunk on Kurtzman a lot, but even he's not stupid enough to allow AI like that to air.

  • Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks

  • Yeah I agree, there's still some lingering odd choices from Discovery, but for the most part the ship has been set back to the right course with SNW and Academy.

  • Unironically I think Tawny Newsome would make a fantastic showrunner. Frakes has taken her on as a sort of protege and she killed it with the witing of the SAM episode.

  • Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks

    Jump

  • I started viewing Academy through the lens of a YA show more than a flagship Trek series and that really helped me form a different opinion of it being quite fun. I like that it doesn't take itself seriously like SNW has mastered and I think Ake and her XO are the best parts of the show for sure. The stressed tf out military Chancellor is pretty hilarious too.

    My only real concerns, with most of Kurtzman shows, is the inconsistent writing. Some episodes are fantastic, and you can tell there's talent in the writing room like SAM's episode, but I feel like too often a lot of the plots just rely too heavily on who screams the most at each other and odd tangents.

    I also just can't really get behind the fact that the Federation would abandon any of its planets, much less a founding member. That being said, having the capital be on Betazed is totally a Federation move I love it. Bringing back the MACOs really feels forced and an illogical choice for the Federation to do as well. I think it could've worked just as easily if they had the rivalry between a more amped up Security and Science/Medical imo.

    Despite all that, I'm still very happy to keep watching and enjoying the show. Ultimately I'm kinda glad it takes place in the 32nd century as its kinda a soft version of the alternate Kelvin timeline. I'd really love to see some new post-Dominion War shows imo.

  • This is my greatest achievement in retro gaming

    Jump

  • I drunkenly ordered the Switch 2 Virtual Boy and forgot about it, but I gotta say Nintendo really did a good job. The lens are real and the emulator quality was shockingly good. Had very low expectations but it really does feel like a modern VB.
