Would watch

I’ll go one further: zero private money for campaigns (whether from donors, from the candidates themselves, from PACs, from corporations, from unions, etc...).

Sorry Oprah, but no. Would she be better than Trump? Most definitely. But then so would my four year old. And for all the good Oprah has done, she hasn’t always showed the best judgement either. She’s to blame for the massive platforms of both “Dr” Phil and “Dr” Oz.

NO MORE TV PEOPLE!!!!

Not faulting you for it at all. The writers room seems to have done all sorts of inane research into how an apex prey animal may behave and none whatsoever in how a (star)ship actually operates.

The ship’s supposed to have a Chief Medical Officer, too, but apparently Lorca is assigning medical staff directly.

She peddles a lot of nonsense like The Secret and mindless consumerism. We need *more* critical thinking in society, not less. Also, the idea of lurching between nice/mean billionaire overlords should make any respectable American puke.

Good, I’m glad the only one who didn’t see “President Oprah?” headlines and feel my eyeballs roll away. Maybe she’s famous and makes a decent speech, but those aren’t the only (or even the key) qualifications. And let’s not forget that she introduced us to the bullshit of Dr Oz, promoted anti-vaxxerism with Jenny…

The reason I hate this theory: the most interesting thing about Lorca is that he exists in a moral gray space. Writing it off as Mirror Lorca feels like an utter copout, depriving him of being among the most morally complicated characters the franchise has ever offered up.

The difference was that both of these were strong episodes that used the double (of Kirk) or the erratic behavior (mainly of Spock) as opportunities to tell good stories and develop believable characters. Watching Spock struggle to control his human side in such an early episode made it clear to viewers from the very…

Let’s get real here for a moment. The UFP of supposed to be a kind of worldwide government that represents all of earth. White people only represent about 15% of the earth’s population, roughly one billion or so, between the US and Europe. (Canada and Australia’s populations are too small to be statistically…

‘It doesn’t help that Discovery still hasn’t managed to build a convincing sense of place in its real reality.’

It’s not like he’s the ugliest guy I’ve ever seen, he’s just completely soulless seeming. Those dead, cold eyes. It freaks me out.

Heard that some people are saying Trump is going to disown Eric and adopt Stephen Miller. I mean, I dunno. Sounds crazy. But some very good people are apparently saying it. The best people.

People in 2012: “Oh no! The world is gonna end!”

Megan Kelley is making 20 million dollars?

Obama ordered a burger with Dijon once so they’re both bad if you think about it.

I would add that there is absolutely no attempt to grapple with the actual, functional policies that are messing these people’s lives up. You would think that given how celebrated articles like Ta-Nehisi Coates’ article on redlining or reparations was, you might see attempts to imitate it rather than simply dutifully…

I just want to tell everyone that someone, not me, coined a phrase that has appeared in several stories at Gawker Media Group, and it enchants me. It encapsulates so much about these bogus and ahistorical and contrafactual and economically illiterate stores coming out of the media. The term is “Cletus Safari.”

The Democratic Party absolutely abandoned these voters. When a Democratic President championed and signed the Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Act, it turned its back on everything these voters stood for.
