I dunno, it feels like sometimes there’s too much pearl clutching from younger members of the LGBTQI+ community, I find it really hard to be offended by the gay jokes in The Simpsons.

The good modern stuff all comes out of Country’s Bluegrass and Americana branches. Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers, Marty O’Reilly, Chris Stapleton ... there is a LOT there to enjoy.

We're not supposed to. 

If she was all business and emotionless, she would have been branded as a ball busting, robotic man eater. Women can’t win.

I’m from Oklahoma, and I’ve never heard of the guy.

“To me it’s the exact same thing as Gina Carano”

Eowyn’s “I am no man” takes it for me. It’s smaller than some of the other ones, but man, what a delivery. I think the films are better than the books in a few ways, and this is absolutely one of them.

why would i want to have an unnecessary wire plugged into my console that i have to attach my controller to after ever gaming session instead of some rechargeable batteries i swap out once a month?

Hi! Non-binary human (and linguist!) here and I use he/she/they pronouns. I can explain this, at least from my lens.

I have yet to experienced a better feeling than riding a bike in a skirt or dress, where the gentle breeze cools parts that are usually covered by multiple layers of fabric.

Came here to say this.

Or eye candy for the judge of the universe

Star Trek ain’t got no beltalowdas, sasa ke?

The music swells (again, and again, and again), there’s hugging and tears, and it’s so clearly and obviously manipulative that it sets the rest of the hour off on a bad foot almost immediately.

Getting more Ezri vibes from them. 

A great example of that is the episode where Mariner creates a Trek movie on the holodeck. It began with the trumpet-forward score playing over credits on a starfield, featured full-on phaser disintegrations in a way the films only do and had the minute long ship flyby.

It’s clearly made by people with deep love and knowledge of the franchise, and I love that they hardly ever feel any need to explain the deep cuts. And it was amazing to finally get an update on the Exocomps.

So what did everybody think of Lower Decks? I think it’s the best Trek since DS9 and the best first season of a Trek show since either TOS or ever. I’m deeply Internet Outraged that the AV Club didn’t cover it.

It was quite fun to pop over to Twitter during commercials and see all the white women weeping and rending garments over the monologue, while everyone they insisted it was offensive to was totally cool with it.

I always have to laugh when some of my liberal brethren mistake Burr for an out of touch centrist, or worse, sympathetic to the right. I always tell them you really haven’t listened to his material then, as it’s obvious he is firmly a liberal that doesn’t suffer idiots, especially on the right. It’s his shtick to come…
