As with so many things with this clusterfuck of an administration, I can’t tell if I should be outraged because they’re being awful in a unique way, or I should be outraged because they’re just showing off the ways that everything’s been awful forever and we just didn’t know about it.

If it’s terrible (or even if it’s like Capaldi where it was quite good but not people’s cup of tea) then it will be said that there is NO reason to not like this show unless you’re a knuckle dragging sexist. Swell.

The personal relationships and romance were also mostly squarely Russel T Davies. He’s the one that introduced Rose as an actual romantic interest.

I haven’t seen anything that looks NOT promising and the two things I’ve seen look good.

Yeah, something like this would have been groovy.

I like it. A lot.

I never said that. I only said that there is a common belief that crime is so much worse than it really is, and that fear can drive a lot of people to arm themselves against a threat that does not exist.

Resistance to gun control isn’t a racial issue. Gun people like guns and will resist anything that they consider taking away their freedom.

She’s quoting herself. Apparently she finds herself terribly witty, even if nobody else does.

JFC.

No, they actually lied.

Governor Cuomo has publicly called for funding a public panel which will study and recommend a new state policy legalization, which many of us think means he’s already made up his mind and is looking for cover from those same pearl-clutchers upstate.

In 1998, a young Sony Pictures executive named Yair Landau was tasked with securing the theatrical screen rights to Spider-Man. His company had DVD rights to the web slinger but needed the rest in order to make a movie.

I’m not saying it’s his best work

Every administration has people working under interim clearances for extended time periods from inauguration until they leave office due to staff changes and new programs being added to the classified world.

This is totally normal. Seriously. An interim is granted once the investigation has progressed to the point that the remaining work is mostly just processing.

As much as I hate to defend these worms, the full background investigation process for SCI clearances can take 12-18 months to complete

can understand a security contractor having to line up with the plebs for clearances...but senior advisors to the POTUS?? I would have assumed they would go to the head of the queue.

Yeah, the dialog is pretty clear on that. It’s an almost-entirely new ship.

That was how I always felt about the TOS Enterprise versus the one in the movies. The proportions are so different there’s no way they’re the same vessel.
