We have to accept that Star Trek is almost like scifi’s version of the Simpsons. It’s done everything.
¡Ay, Dios no me ama!
Nowadays, especially nowadays, I'm just grateful that the optimistic spirit/energy of star trek is having a next next generation of its own. I'm here for it. Mostly (sorry disco).
Which imaginary treknologies strike you as the most scientifically sound?
For me it's the replicator turning shit into food, but everything may as well be magic.
Not sure how that makes it science based…
Just barely, but isn't that normal for treknobabble to be ripped from science headlines?
The movie has personality to spare, taking full advantage of its Vietnam-era setting, from the character archetypes in play to the musical choices.
Skull Island is a masterpiece in subverting soldier tropes. I giant middle finger to the generic GI Joe character we got in Godzilla.
Every heroic last stand is easily swatted by the monsters and we get Sam Jackson as Ahab leading them all to their deaths. I don't think they ever glorify the soldiers in the entire movie, which was fucking refreshing.
I just want to tell you how much I liked the episode that explored Klingon honor and how that hunting scene kept being recontextualized.
The show reminds me of Lower Decks in that it's different but it's the same. Cant wait to see more.
I really like the thick spaghetti from barilla and using the starchy pasta water to thicken the sauce.
This batch might be a little too thick but at least it’s clinging to the pasta.
Saw a post here that mentioned Michael Moorcock as an anarchist 😎
My man moorcock is unapologetic.
I recommend The Land Leviathan (Black Attila conquers racist America) and The Champion of Garathorm (Hero becomes a woman to fulfill destiny and save the day) not because they are good but because they broach taboo topics decades ahead of the curve.
I like to add cheese and herbs to the butter for extra flavor and heretic fondue slices inside for their perfect meltiness.
I made some beef birria from scratch a while back and I had a lot of fun. Served with homemade beans, white rice, and flour tortillas
I usually make red rice, but dinner seemed red enough already. But ultimately the onions, tortillas, and rice (and plate!) ended up making it look too white 🤷♀️

This is how I make egg sandwiches as someone who doesn't like mayonnaise.
When I combine the cream cheese and egg it creates a mixture too thick to spread, but laying down slices that stick to the cream cheese itself ensures the eggs aren't falling out while I eat.
I sprinkle salt and pepper on the eggs before I assemble and eat. 
Thanks Mughal guy 👌
and then he retired to the shire to grow cabbage. the end.
Its not like these clowns will actually win the siege of Antioch and then betray me for wisely noping the fuck out. And later return to conquer us, their fellow christians. Nah, that could never happen 🙃
Not OC, this is an old crusader kings 2 meme template.
Jason Vigo: dna manipulated by vengeful ferengi
Shinzon: dna manipulated by vengeful romulans
Jack Crusher: dna manipulated by vengeful human/changeling/borg/hybrids or something like that
Somebody show this clown TNG The Most Toys, the one where the emotionless android feels a surge of hate and blasts the space billionaire that enslaved him.
RIKER: Mister O'Brien says the weapon was in a state of discharge.
DATA: Perhaps something occurred during transport, Commander.
And then he gets away with it because Riker hates billionaires too 😎👌
Just attribute the minor differences to the temporal cold war 👌
My brutal but fair take:
I feel the bigwigs for Star Trek would sacrifice us all, in a heartbeat, for their own Grogu to get the kiddos buying merch.
“The house I grew up in was built by the Dublin Corporation,” Meaney says.
“How could we build houses then and can’t build them now?... It’s fking Thatcherism, Reaganism, the neoliberals and the trickle-down economy that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael both bought into, [the idea] that the market will sort everything out. B***ocks.”
Our boy doesn’t hold back and I’m here for it!
I feel this is a powerful argument against prequels in general, not just for star trek.
Like, I cant help but think you're right. The latter half of disco did indeed move the setting to a place where Academy can pick up and it seems like it's working.
