@ASPertierra my man (not you) sure has a low opinion of those dummy Germans, freely giving up this socialist wonderland for a neoliberal hellhole.

[Dr. M.A. Davis @MikeDavisNoNot1]

@FoundEpisodes just impressed they got Shatner back to play Holo-Kirk

[Dr. M.A. Davis @MikeDavisNoNot1]

@trumwill if someone knocked on my door and asked to use the bathroom I'd probably let them, much less an Amazon employee.

[Dr. M.A. Davis @MikeDavisNoNot1]

@BadSocialism What I do is tell students "hey, this came up - why do you think that might have happened?" and get their explanation. Maybe some are lying to my face and getting away with it but a. they mostly don't and b. at least I know I treated them with respect.

@XWnHIST "yeah and one of Leia's kids later killed all the New Jedi Order and became Zombie Palpatine's righthand man, so Thrawn was right" "wait that's not the same canon" "honestly it's not _that_ far off."

[Dr. M.A. Davis @MikeDavisNoNot1]

@ZachRoseWriter and it's not as if the stories of German soldiers who actively resisted the Holocaust aren't right there for the taking! https://t.co/sdU8k9nfB3

@jfruh "and in this episode, Archer teaches them that their interpretation of their religion and the functioning of their bodies is all wrong" "_does he now_

[Dr. M.A. Davis @MikeDavisNoNot1]

@jfruh plus the Enterprise era stuff gave me heavy "how Bush II sees Old Europe" vibes which was troublesome in its own right

@jfruh tho it's a fascinating generational shift that "you should live up to the stern teachings of your ethnic-coded father to the best of your ability" has shifted to "whatever man, just eat meat and feel your feelings, maaan."

[Dr. M.A. Davis @MikeDavisNoNot1]

@jfruh I do not care for the turn in post-TNG Trek that Vulcan culture is dumb.

[Dr. M.A. Davis @MikeDavisNoNot1]

@ShelfNerds "and to think, Oppenheimer never lived to see the atomic war he dreamed of become a reality. what a tragedy."
"Klaang perhaps we should get you to that shuttle."

[Dr. M.A. Davis @MikeDavisNoNot1]

@amadcartoonist Harry thinking "not _again_ dad, jesus"

[Dr. M.A. Davis @MikeDavisNoNot1]

@ShelfNerds Picard vs. God!Q is a good clue too

[Dr. M.A. Davis @MikeDavisNoNot1]

@Beery_maps My advice is to not get into it directly. Talk about your teaching, emphasize your desire for stability through a TT position (so they won't worry you'll leave them for grad school), maybe mention research a little at the end but not too much.

[Dr. M.A. Davis @MikeDavisNoNot1]

@ShelfNerds I want a line of Nova-class refits that are all named after Rhode Island places and people. The USS Providence; the USS Howard Lovecraft; the USS Roger Williams, the USS Buddy Cianci.

[Dr. M.A. Davis @MikeDavisNoNot1]

@gaypril_906 "look we have to have WWIII soon so the Vulcans show up and I am Doing My Part."

[Dr. M.A. Davis @MikeDavisNoNot1]

@MinorityOfOne75 @FurstvonWrede no problem, thanks for your good nature.

[Dr. M.A. Davis @MikeDavisNoNot1]

@MinorityOfOne75 @FurstvonWrede as the thread was about the Nazis, that was the era I was referring to.
