Michael Emerson is the guy born to play him.

Oh, oh. Sorry. Most of TOS. The vast majority. And the entire third season except “Space Seed”.

Anyone can point to the long tail of the curve and pretend that what’s there is typical, but that doesn’t make it so. The existence of anomalies, alone, cannot unmake a rule, and this rule is true: The actions of the Baby boomers, all together as a group, have served to fuck up this world.

It *is* too gentle, but it turns out that hypermasculinity makes men fragile. Like snowflakes. You gotta go soft touch with these sensitive creatures, lest they flip out and beat the shit out of the nearest helpless human shaped rage receptacle.

As a response to whiny grasping mediocrity, dingdong sounds exactly right. Why waste creativity on the dim?

They’ve been coasting on their “scary efficient” and “scary mean” reputations for quite a while now, and eventually the American public will realize that. That day will be the shitshow to end all.

Ooh, a sensible conservative position.

You bet your ass. The biggest rumble of trouble for Trump wasn’t any fallout from any investigation, but the collective clutching of pearls by the Investor class watching the markets make like a nightmare roller coaster.

Tagging Heinlein as a cryptofascist is nearly as ridiculous as calling Verhoeven a hack director.
