Yikes.

Roddenberry’s diminishing influence was a big factor, but there were other behind-the-scenes changes that really shaped TNG at that point. The big changes from seasons 2-3 included showrunner Maurice Hurley’s departure (he was, by all accounts, a super toxic influence on the early seasons and the reason for Gates…

I’m a much bigger Star Trek fan than Star Wars, but Roddenberry was problematic as hell and shouldn’t be remembered half as fondly as he is.

I love that the “new” Star Trek in this context is TNG, which ended 30 years ago.

I bet Elon thought that was super believable detail. Who wouldn’t want a Cybertruck? All the people he talks to on Xitter love it!

I mean...I’d absolutely let Nick Offerman be a three-term president.

Good summary. It was basically “healthy” KFC in its prime. 

This reminds me of the time the guy who created Apple Stores became CEO of JCPenny and tried to apply the same model there.

Mary Trump had a good take on this:

OH FFS no one anywhere is doing this

What actions has Biden taken that justify invoking the 25th Amendment? 

No one expects Stewart to be a propagandist for Biden the way Tucker is for Trump. It’s just supremely unreal to see the media at large, including Stewart, treat Biden’s age and occaisonal gaffes as if they’re in any way comparable to Trump’s insane, dictatatorial, self-absorbed ramblings.

Enormous fucks ups is exactly right; not codifying Roe,

You are looking for self validation, not honest discussion. Your attitude is really no better than that of MAGA “ignore all our issues and focus on the other guys”

Yeah...I probably won’t watch again.

One candidate is old and a bit centrist for the more leftist-minded folks out there. One is a career criminal rapist who will sell out NATO and Ukraine to the Russians and plunder state secrets for his own personal profit.

You’re welcome to criticize Biden all you want. So am I. If anybody has told you that you shouldn’t criticize Biden, they’re wrong.

Jon delivered that monologue with all the confidence of a rich, straight white male who will be okay no matter who wins in November.

Frasier had one, too!

The idea might be that, as executive producer, Stewart takes on the task of finding a new host, and having him identify and anoint a successor will boost that person. The host search has been such a clusterfuck so far that, outside of appointing someone well known like Sarah Silverman, anyone they could have picked at…
