PICARD: Data, shields up
DATA: Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not precaution—it's strategy.

WORF: HULL BREACHES ON NINE DECKS
DATA: Here's what happened: you told me to raise shields, and I didn't
kojima writing a foot long review after watching the entire show in a day and he’s gagged that Netflix didn’t renew the hot cheating dilf and morally grey husband love triangle show for another season…..join the club brotha.
Seems a little weird that a president who has loudly and consistently complained that he “deserves the Nobel Peace Prize” would start a war without congressional approval, but I guess I’m not a politician.
@washedsinner@Howlingmutant0 His greatest legacy is helping to pioneer soundbite “gotcha” media that prioritizes clicks over facts. He gleefully burned the bridge across that divide for fortune and fame.
To any future historians reading this, this era will make a lot more sense if you remember that every name is the opposite of what it really is. The antifascists are fascists, the antiracists are racists, the fact-checkers are propagandists, etc. Hopefully this has been fixed by your time.
@PEactual@KyleKulinski@SStricklandMMA This might genuinely be the most incompetent attempt at a dunk I’ve ever seen. There’s just no version of this tweet that makes you look tough or cool, lol.
@NRA Between this and what happened with Philando Castile, anybody who’s ever donated to this organization in the hopes that they would defend your rights has been thoroughly ripped off. A pathetic display, but hardly unexpected at this point.

“For months, radical progressive politicians like Tim Walz have incited violence against law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their jobs. Unsurprisingly, these calls to dangerously interject oneself into legitimate law-enforcement activities have ended in violence, tragically resulting in injuries and fatalities.
As there is with any officer-involved shooting, there will be a robust and comprehensive investigation that takes place to determine if the use of force was justified. As we await these facts and gain a clearer understanding, we urge the political voices to lower the temperature to ensure their constituents and law enforcement officers stay safe.”

I say this as someone who generally likes the way Luke goes out, but Han’s death is positioned in that film in a way where other characters can actually react and emotionally grapple with it. In that sense I I do get why people felt Luke was done a bit dirty, even if it was cool.
The obsession with Luke's mildly silly, mildly triumphant hero's death compared to what they did to Han Solo is still insane to me. They gave Han a horrifying true crime end and turned his killer into a hunk! No one cared! That's way worse than doing astral projection pranks!
What I really don’t get is how people don’t find this to be almost impossibly embarrassing. Like, ideology aside, how does this not cause you to cringe so hard you collapse into a singularity? You want to clap and cheer and retweet THIS and be treated like a grown adult? Baffling
JUST IN: President Trump shares an AI video of him with a crown on dropping poop from a fighter jet on Harry Sisson at a protest.
What a wild time to be alive.
@MultiHyphenArt@EricLDaugh This is a weird misread, honestly. You really think those are the only two functions of one of the largest protest movements of our lifetimes? A depressingly cynical outlook. Everybody’s grandma is going to these. Shortsighted to boil that down to just donation dollars.
I think these things are pretty different narratively. The senseless deaths of Newt and Hicks undoes a lot of the point of Aliens, whereas the whole messiah thing going on with John Conner had been a bit of an albatross around Terminator’s neck. https://t.co/9U3fQCTMZc
Newt and Hicks aren’t important. Their survival means there’s hope in a world that doesn’t seem to have any. John Conner is basically Terminator Jesus, and the franchise has really struggled to grapple with the implications of that. These things aren’t in the same ball park.
