I’m convinced Grimes rented Trafic and watched it while Musk was in a Ketamine stupor and when he “woke up” he decided to make the Altra camper-car.

Everyone should watch Trafic, it’s great.

Absolutely - I honestly think Dune and Dune Messiah should be sold as one book.

Amazing

Well aside from the time it totally bricked my system, it pretty good.

The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is really great (art and storytelling-wise) but it’s uhhh, basically a chronicle of colonial exploitation and resource extraction (Scrooge even gets cursed for his capitalist crimes). My favorite part is probably the Yukon gold rush story.

Uhhh, excuse me? My takes are totally original. T’Pol told me so.

Okaaaay, just because you’ve brought it up…

Transporters in Star Trek are shown to definitely not be duplication machines. “Our Man Bashir” (DS9) is probably the most definitive proof of that.

Personally, I think transporter technology explains the staunch atheist (but still open-minded and sometimes spiritualist) Federation mindset: they know that their entire being can be reduced to a matter/energy stream. The transporter makes a devastating philosophical challenge to the idea of a “soul.” Which is, ironically, why so many Federation officers refuse to accept anything that challenges that assumption (VOY “Sacred Ground”).

Dream pants are something else

Uhh just play Outer Worlds you nerds

Yeah dawg that’s … the entire point of the Engels piece - “authoritarianism” is a meaningless buzzword.

CHINA COLLAPSING ANY DAY NOW

Tom Paris literally broke spacetime and did direct action to save a water planet.

En clo sure of he commens duh

“Dog culture can be wack” as I chuckle at the twentieth daily picture of my cat and think of Lenin.

A Trot/Left-Com on MY Hexbear??? Astonishing!
