Whoa, there was going to be combat in Lorelei initially? Wild, that feels so out of place now.

Also, the free to watch first episode has over 160k views in 4 days. Is that meaningful? Idk, I don't work for Neilsen, and 1 ep is not a trend.

But that's not nothin', and Trek has ALWAYS been progressive, from Day 1. Uhura and Sulu were *RIGHT THERE*.

Well thanks for Rule 34ing that cursed diagram into existence.

It's got to be weird for the British late night presenter.

And even if we take OP's point at face value, yeah, people fuck up. But ICE fucks up CONSTANTLY, their presence only escalates things towards violence, and when they fuck up, people's lives are ruined or ended.

The phrase "a few bad apples" means you get rid of them apples to save the bunch.

Fuck, that's high.

How is he able to talk out of his ass so eloquently after plugging his butt?

Also I was way optimistic when I placed that 1/2 on my original post.

Imperfect allies are still allies. And we're in this mess because too many of us threw out the baby with the Biden.

And for the record, no, I don't think you're taking crazy pills, man.

We need to recognize that we are allies, that, yeah, maybe we have our blind spots, and we need to work on that, and that's a healthy conversation to have, and it's definitely not the place of non-whites to tell us where we're failing, BUT we can't alienate each other while we're doing this.

Which also seems par for the course. Our side enjoys engaging in purity tests even more than the GOP, which is counterproductive. We lost in 2024 because we weren't united, that a sizable section stayed home for Reasons(tm), and let Shitler come to power.

We can't do that again in 2026.
