Well a bunch of points in response:

That’s probably one of the biggest and most frustrating things about this whole controversy: It’s not just that his comedian friends are either staying silent so they don’t have to risk the professional benefits that come from their association with him, or are trying to make room for him and his non-apologies. And…

This review feels, if anything based on the trailer, relatively generous. I do like the art style, but this sounds difficult to watch.

If any part of you is “grinning,” I think you’re the complete asshole in this situation.

So I am 23 seconds in and what is fascinating to me is that he is clearly, genuinely, proud of that accent. Like, he worked on it, or maybe he feels he has a natural gift, and I think on some level he wants some recognition, some praise for doing such a good job (in his mind) with that accent.

Indeed. For some of the “lesser assholes” taken out by covid, see here:

The minimal, if any, improvement is just proving how goddamn talented the original stop-motion animators were. The originals are fine.

I was worried Lower Decks would turn out to be nothing more than Star Trek: Rick and Morty but it’s been a pleasant surprise—arguably the most recognizably Trek of all the streaming-era Trek shows. (Funnily enough, fellow pseudo-sitcom The Orville is the only series that gives it a run for its money in that regard.)

Pretty much agree with all of this. I found the first half a bit much (the Trent Crimm joke in particular felt like it was patting itself and the fans on the back in a really easy way), but around the time Roy fucking Kent comes back, it found its footing.

Or Steamers.

why would you ungrey him lol ...
Don’t answer those trolls, leave them dwell in the shadows where they belong.

I didn’t rig shit!

My thoughts exactly when they first introduced the concept. It totally defeats the concept of going back into the past to change the future.

This was fantastic. Thank you for your service.

I’m going to dissect this bullshit one bit at a time:

Seriously though, while the Canon-7 RF f0.95 50mm lens ain’t all that common, I’d hesitate to call it “rare”. Hell, I’ve seen more of them in Austrlaia than Nikon F-mount f1.2 50mm - or even Pentax f1.2 50mm...both of which were made for decades after Canon stopped making rangefinders, and for lens mounts that are…

The way I look at cancel culture is that it is like the imaginary food in Hook: it only exists if you ignore what reality tells you and you look for what’s not really there. Neocons look at cancel culture as a way of explaining how culture is moving past them by claiming their own culture is being affected, but…

The problem is that Fox makes most of it’s money from cable subscribers not advertising. Every dish and cable subscriber pays about $3 per to Fox to have them on your system making your grandpa insane.

I’m surprised to see this because, outside of Mel Gibson, this movie is a hell of a lot of dumb fun and a way better story than a movie like this deserves. B- for me, dawgs
