It is wonderful to see Charlie out and off to his new home.

Today's aesthetic: fic that spends several thousand words establishing Kink World, the world structured entirely around the author's excruciatingly specific kink, does one sex scene in like chapter two, then spends the next thirty chapters interrogating the sociopolitical implications of Kink World.

Especially if we're talking about *American Jews*, of whom - I must reiterate this - there are only around 7.5 million, and yet we vote for Dems at one of the highest rates in America of any ethnic or religious demographic.
“Don’t Jews remember the Holocaust? And yet millions of them support Trump!”
No we don’t. You just get a perverse enjoyment out of the idea of Jewish Nazis.

Call it recency bias, personal interest, or perhaps just a general concern for society’s trajectory right now, but as I followed Wednesday’s news of an ICE agent killing 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good…

The Obamacare 3-year funding extension is sailing through the House now. Already 16 Republicans have broken with party leaders and voted YES on the bill with unanimously supportive Democrats.

a lot of people traumatized themselves consuming a ton of horrific content over the years and they want to think that pain meant something or serves some greater purpose but it doesn’t and didn‘t. it just left you broken and shitty at performing your ostensible goal of liberation
reminder that the concept of "bear witness" as in "gotta watch all the bad videos yourself" is a goofy byproduct of the video age, and would be absolutely inscrutable to most people before like the 20th century

My Fellow Americans: right now there is very little we can do to stop the horror that's going on. But contacting your representative (yes, EVEN THE REPUBLICANS) tonight—right now—and encouraging them to support this is one thing we *can* do. (And yes, getting Noem out will help.)
I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Not attacking Liz just to make my point very clear, "live-action" is the important qualifier there. I think Starfleet Academy is far better then Discovery, Picard, Section 31 & Strange New Worlds (arguably Enterprise too)- at least so far. Better then Prodigy and Lower Decks? We shall see.
I agree with Jessie -- I mean, "best in decades" is a big call, and I wonder if I'm letting recency bias have too much sway, but SFA builds on the promise of Discovery, Prodigy and Lower Decks in a way I deeply admire, along with the best of everything that came before.
BTW, the review embargo doesn't lift until tomorrow & I'll have a full non-spoiler advanced video review out then, but since people are already talking about the premiere in vague terms - I've seen Starfleet Academy and IMO, it's the best live-action Trek we've gotten in decades. It's really good.

God, it is so tedious that these anti-woke assholes keep making the same video over and over and over again - eliciting the narrative that a show is bad before it even comes out so that they can be ready to pounce on it like red meat as soon as it finally releases.

I gave myself the gift of slamming that back button as soon as I saw a video posted in a thread about it and I am very grateful to me.

I have watched the video. I think you probably do not need to watch the video. it shows what you think it's gonna show in terms of lack of justification.

Dictionary of the Oldest Written Language–It Took 90 Years to Complete, and It’s Now Free Online
It took 90 years to complete. But, in 2011, scholars at the University of Chicago finally published a 21-volume dictionary of Akkadian, the language used in ancient Mesopotamia.
