@AmazonMGMStudio The cure is to reinstate Stargate. It'll make us happy & It'll make you money. There's no reason to cancel it. The cure is so easy.

[Michael Shanks @MichaelShanks]

No matter what happens. Come what may. I am so F….n proud of this fandom and how you all have come together.
Stargate fans really are the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@RepThomasMassie @LibertarianLew @DanCrenshawTX The part where the nation of Israel gets criticized for anything at all, including stuff they verifiably did. You're "grifting" on Jew hatred or something, because why else would you bring it up?

That's all the thought he put into it.

What is stopping humanity from coexisting peacefully?

I've had to slum it with the For You algorithm bc my Following list is an endless chorus of "they're cheating in the California election!!"

No one cares. They won't stop. The courts are broken.

The effective actions are violent & illegal & we're not ready to have that convo

@SecWar This isn’t complicated: Get a warrant if you want to pilfer through Americans’ data. That’s what we ask, and what the Constitution demands.

@LouisianaJeff You Cajuns aren't wrong about that. Tomato sandwiches are great 😋

You labor for 30+ yrs while they steal chunks of every paycheck, a cut of every purchase, fees for every action & an annual % of unrealized gains of the value of your home & property

If you don't comply, they take everything you own & cage you at gunpoint

This is government

[Kevin Sorbo @ksorbs]

Property tax is theft too.

@TheAliceSmith I'm a capitalist because I like that there's food to buy with my money, but maybe that's just me.

[Vanya @Vanyathalias]

@guidedfaithco @TheBabylonBee You seem fun

[Vanya @Vanyathalias]

@TheAliceSmith Liberty only works if it's universal... otherwise it's our Achilles' heel. You can't allow some to wear the burka if you don't let other people and businesses discriminate in who they freely associate with.

He's precious 🥰

I saw an albino (or maybe leucistic) HAWK a couple of days ago while driving to work. I wish I could've taken a picture... he was so cool

Rare albino raccoon spotted among its family

This exceptionally rare albino raccoon was photographed alongside normally colored raccoons. Albinism is a genetic condition that causes a lack of pigment, giving the animal its striking white fur and pink eyes

@TheBabylonBee In the passing lane on the left, where the speed limit is irrelevant... you're impeding traffic. Get your high-and-mighty, overinflated head over to the right where you belong, you inconsiderate douchenozzles.

@BonafideKRS It might've been worth it for how butthurt it made the Europeans, complaining about American gun culture 😂

[Christian Heiens 🏛 @ChristianHeiens]

Liberals will ask, "Why can't you just enjoy it?" at the same time other Liberals post, "Everything I do in life is with the intention of making you miserable".

People are not angry because they can't enjoy things. They are angry because they correctly understand that the things they once loved are being converted into weapons for an ideology that hates them.

There is a very obvious sadistic side to Progressivism's hijacking of things like movies and video games. These people do not love the media they're destroying. They're not trying to make something good. They just want revenge against the normal world.

They want the actual fans to feel alienated and dispossessed. That's the entire point.

And every so often, someone is bold enough to admit it.

[Vanya @Vanyathalias]

@CaptainCalvinCa @kevinbhobart @lmrj07 @AmazonMGMStudio They were hostile when they said they don't want a showrunner who is familiar with the franchise & don't want to appeal to loyal fans

How is being meek & docile going to improve things? They destroy the IP, and the fans just say nothing? How is that strategy supposed to work?

[Joseph Mallozzi 🏴‍☠️ @BaronDestructo]

Well this is a hastily cobbled together shit-take of conjecture and misdirection.

The author starts by misreading a grassroots marketing launch as a statement of exclusive intent. Come on.  Announcing a series TO a fandom alongside its community leaders is standard PR; it's not proof that the show was designed exclusively FOR fandom. In fact, it was made clear from the start that, first and foremost, the series would function as an accessible entry point for new viewers...while still respecting canon.  And, by the way, “Respecting canon” does not mean “requiring new viewers to be familiar with 350+ hours of existing Stargate programming” as this article implies.

The author proceeds to support their point by launching into fan fiction: "No plot details were revealed about the scrapped show, but I can easily imagine…”  And they certainly do.  What follows is a parade of clichés, a generic legacy-sequel checklist that the author has conjured up from nothing and pinned to the new show as predictive evidence.

Then comes the claim that Starfleet: Academy failed because the showrunners: "focused too much on paying tribute to the series' past.”  Uh, wut?  Yes, Starfleet: Academy did receive a fair amount of criticism, but strict adherence to canon wasn't on the list of grievances.  This reads like a comment from someone who likely never even watched the show, much less perused the fan response.

They state: "Rebooting the cannon also would let the new Stargate showrunner bring back the Goa'uld, the franchise's most iconic villains…”  No, it wouldn’t.  Know why?   Because the goa’uld... ARE CANON!!!!

The article concludes with a disconnected meditation on an old Stargate storyline with no relation to either the new show or the author’s own argument.

I want to say it was written by A.I., but surely A.I. would display more logical consistency than this.

[Joseph Mallozzi 🏴‍☠️ @BaronDestructo]

@ThomBrady5 @Polygon Better yet, if they found showrunner who not only had limited exposure to the franchise but also actively despised it, then one could count on some truly "out-of-the-box" ideas.
