I want to understand that clock! I get some of it (cubic root of 1728 is 12, 3! is 6, etc) but I don’t understand the markings for every hour on it. I’m especially curious about the 8 o’clock one, “⚫⚪⚪⚪”.

Since when has the US ever been concerned with violating UN conventions/treaties to which they are signatories?

Those weren’t proper “American citizens”, they were evil baby eating abortionists who worshipped Satan and hated our LORD and SAVIOUR Jesus Christ! </sarcasm>

So not only do I get to work with Simon Pegg, but in a few months or so, the scene I wrote gets ruthlessly mocked by Jezebel for overly sexualising Zoe Saldana... sounds perfect! :D

In 100 years, we will be commemorating the tragic Great Goatee GOP Genocide by renaming the holiday “Beardmas”.

60s Uhura was a fantastic character, Nichelle Nichols’s acting was amazing when the scriptwriters actually gave her a chance to do anything, and of course she was also amazingly beautiful. But if we’re talking pure lusty desires towards Trek characters, Newhura just sliiightly wins that one for me. Although hey,…

Some people have no taste!

This seems an extremely seasonally appropriate Patrick Stewart video:

That’s certainly one of the reasons she makes me melt!

Wouldn’t the latter be half a Borg Goddess?

Exactly, it’s not like the penis can be used as a last resort backup weapon, so if a woman is strong enough and meets whatever other requirements there are, her gender should be irrelevant.

As a young girl I had such a crush on Deanna Troi, and now I have absolutely no idea why (although she looks pretty fantastic in the later TNG films). Now though, it’d be either new Uhura or 60s Uhura.

“Radical Feminism’s Misogynistic Crusade” would be a fantastic name for a race horse.

It’d also explain why many attempts to understand potential cetacean language have failed - we anthropomorphically assumed a language like ours, where abstract sounds represent concepts, rather than considering they could basically just be beaming sonar images to each other. As I said in another post, a language of…

More like a language composed entirely of emojis. Scientific opinion is divided on whether or not such a language would have the phrase “LOL” randomly peppered into it.

I was going to say, “these 1960 models” or “these 1960s Batman villains”?

And not bearing false witness is one of the 10 commandments. Double checking that on Wikipedia also led me to the wonderfully appropriate Proverbs 6:16-19:

Yeah, but they only admit non-white people because their rule against non-white membership was ruled illegal, this wasn’t something they chose in order to seem more progressive... and while the leadership may be trying to polish up their image, their grassroots members remain as openly vile as ever, even to the…

“Respect” might’ve been too strong a word really, but I just find something so much more insidious about racists who pretend not to be. You can see a group of angry bigots with baseball bats headed your way and hopefully avoid them... but it’s much harder to avoid the coordinated, Machiavellian attempts to chip away…

If there’s one thing I respect about the Stormfront or BNP style of white supremacist (and I honestly never thought I’d start a sentence with those words), it’s that they’re at least honest about their racism. They don’t try and hide behind euphemisms or slyly imply what they mean, they just outright say it (possibly…
