Not op but I’ve been steadily enjoying it more with each episode that comes out. It’s got a pretty decent cast and Holly Hunter facing down Paul Giamatti makes for some really intense scenes. It’s a more hopeful version of Trek which I think is pretty nice in these times. Some of the jokes are extremely cringe but I’ve found myself laughing out loud at times. Oh and the plot usually makes sure to focus on the students as a crew, giving time to flesh out the large cast a decent amount.

Only real complaint I have is they could tone down the lens flares a bit.

Most of the angry reviews I’ve read are from people who will never be happy because of the “woke” crowd. I just instantly disregard those. Then there are people who clearly aren’t paying attention when watching the episodes.

People seem to think Caleb is just another Michael Burnham but the writers clearly establish in each episode he’s pretty foolish and isn’t always right. The show is doing a decent job of keeping Discovery at arms length, only really referencing it like Strange New Worlds did.

Since apparently no one else can give you a real answer, here you go: It’s a relatively recent (dated 2018) photo from the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.

It’s gotta be something that would blow apart their voter base if revealed. Something like all those big Evangelical leaders needed their own private jets because they were on their way to Epstein Island.

Another example that might be good is Baba Yetu, the Grammy-winning theme song from the game Civilization 4. Its lyrics are probably better known to people as the Lord’s Prayer, just translated into Swahili.

I wonder if it’ll function like Twitch where you can get tons of people banned all at once by getting them to say they’re under 13.

I’ve referred to this as the death of the expert, apparently there’s also a book similarly titled that covers the same concept.

I highly recommend anyone interested to look up Operation Mindfuck, how it worked and where some of the Discordians that took part ended up going later in their lives. I would also argue removing sources of authority like news organizations, or at least ruining their legitimacy, is a part of pushing the population towards chapel perilous.

As for the concerns about funding a news coop, I wonder if the relative success of Dropout tv would be a good model? The only other successful organization in an unsuccessful format I can think of is The Onion, but they had a major investor save them.

Easier to obtain or easier to make that choice?

I no longer deal with spam calls all day long because they get routed to Google Assistant/Gemini first and the AI agent filters the call for me. It has been pretty great like 99% of the time, I fully expect Google to kill it somehow.

I’d rather bet they knew the dangers of it the entire time. It’s pretty clear they WANT Jews in the rest of the world to feel unsafe where they are so that they consider migrating to Israel.

There was a moment in one of Bibi’s previous terms when Israel was experiencing a massive brain drain primarily to Germany. He published a letter in response in (I believe) Haaretz basically trying to say Germany (and by extension the rest of the world) was horribly dangerous for Jews and only Israel could keep them safe. His administration has said something similar more recently, iirc.
