There’s always been a pretty big right-wing element in military SF and pre-1980s space opera, especially the Jerry Pournelle-type stuff, and I think a lot of those attitudes went into the classic EU because you had some of the same kinds of authors writing Star Wars novels, including  Zahn (easy money in those days…

Can’t let people see inside their phony device that it’s a big, fat phony.

Legends canon is essentially cryptofascist in it’s depiction of the fall of the NR that culminated in the Yuuzhan Vong War. The big reveal in that plot was that Thrawn and Palpatine had some knowledge of the Vong and everything the empire did was in preparation for the apocolyptic invasion they knew was coming. At…

Not really surprised by that, though I’d think maybe they’d just be targeting those who were already going to vote republican anyway...that’s if they are the majority still on it these days, since it seems like Musk drove away everyone else with his shenanigans.

Legs were included in Second Life’s metaverse right out of the gate 20 years ago. Oh Zuck, you innovator you.

Don’t worry. I’m sure the Republican controlled state government will take care of everyone white. I mean affected.

And my thought is always that even if it is a hoax, so what? Is the end result of being cleaner, more efficient and better to the world in general so bad?

Now watch as what is left of Florida’s property insurance industry flee faster than the Wicked Witch’s flying monkeys hunting for Dorthy.

I think I have an idea for DeSantis’ Halloween costume this year!?

That is the true weird pill. How easily they put down the ol ‘Evil Empire’ that the GOP built for decades and were all up on the Putin Train based on Trump’s word.

Judge: “You are charged with murdering your parents. How do you plead?

Did you learn about it recently? The US has never really cared about its working class as the wealthy gained more and more influence and control over institutions, and that bill turned the country into a plutocratic oligarchy.

I don’t understand. Are investors suing because Disney is succumbing to the inherent flaw of capitalism that infinite growth isn’t possible, or are they suing because Disney isn’t making enough effort to hide the inherent flaw of capitalism that infinite growth isn’t possible and now they can’t ignore it anymore?

Moderation team = “If it’s for Republican candidates, it’s cool. If it’s for Democratic candidates, ban it.”

A Black woman, a POWERFUL Black woman, calling him “MISTER Trump” instead of “President Trump” is going to drive him right up the wall.

“He is a nightmare for his lawyers. I mean, you have somebody like Trump, who has a fragile ego, who is a misogynist, who is a racist, in my view, and who also has this constant need to talk? Then, there’s a term for that, logorrhea. Then, that is a real problem,” she told CNN. “It’s going to be an issue for his…

No matter how much you’re paid (and have the Donald lawyers been getting their checks?), I can’t imagine it being worth the hassle of putting up with the antics of someone as mentally ill as Donald.  A mentally slow third grade boy could be made to mind easier than this pathological liar.
