  • Saudi journalist says 'not all attacks' on Gulf coming from Iran, fears US-Israel dragging monarchies into war

    Jump

  • The monarchies likely wouldn't. No, this isn't the US being involved.

    ... it's the US and Israel being the cause. The Saudis are dragged in due to an alliance with Trump and a desire to participate in the imec trade corridor.

  • The first episode of DISCO put me on the path towards dislike. I thought we were going to get slightly more cinematic trek, with Michelle Yeoh's Character and Michael Burnham forming some sort of leadership team for mostly contained episodes... Perhaps with show long arcs (like VOY or DS9).

    I had such hopes for that during the opening half of the episode. But I was left waiting for something that never showed up.

    I'd love to see POC women taking their rightful place in ST leadership (because they so often have and do in progressive politics IRL). None the less to say what "get" as the root of Star Trek clearly isn't what the writers "get" as the root of New Trek.

  • People want progressives, Republican and Democrat doesn't matter as much as whether someone's progressive or alt-right.

  • Great, we're at a point where "researchers" are helping tech bros hurt the public interest. Could they just NOT publish this shit? Stop giving helpful tips to tyrannical oligarchs!

    Academics can be stupid idiots sometimes.

  • Anti-War MAGA Unites to Turn on Trump Together

    Jump

  • I'm so sick of the establishment left media repeatedly being like "MAGA supporters are finally turning on Trump" - they're not!

    It's wishful thinking, go to their spaces you'll see how they justify their positions to each other and just keep manufacturing reasons as to why it all lines up with their world view.

  • "It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words." - Specialist Syme

    Jump

  • I get you, I feel what you mean, and I'd probably agree but personally I'm not really into TOS related stuff... I'm not even into ENT related stuff.

    Prequels for a show that's trying to look forwards end up feeling like they're at crossed purposes for me.

  • DS9 was bright and clearly shot compared to modern DISCO, and DS9 had an in-world explanation (being on a Cardassian space station).

  • Nah, new star trek doesn't feel classic enough because it's too netflixed out. Meaning it doesn't fit comfortable aesthetics, doesn't feel self-contained (stand alone episodes). Doesn't feel in-world, and isn't set in a likeable section of time in Star Trek lore.

    Most people who don't like New Star Trek want a TNG, VOY, or DS9 era timeline, featuring a strong actress or actor as the Captain, that's episodic in nature, and operates as a philosophical defense/testing/statement about the best parts of western progressive/liberal democracy using sci fi as a metaphor or container.

    Star Trek isn't a place for dark gritty season long arcs that feel like movies that aren't going anywhere. No, we want philosophical premises, in well lit carpeted spaces, about interesting technology, aliens, and psychology... That years later we realise were subtle commentaries (or even hopeful suggestions) about real world problems.

    Lower Decks is currently the best fit for this.

  • The war on the Iranian regime is way more justifiable (being for a trade corridor likely to bring enemies together on the same side, than the war in Iraq (which was about resources for America and the Bush family lineage).

  • I wonder if Trump could be convinced it would be historic, like his North Korea visit - and may even get him a peace prize/legacy.

  • Trump goes to war despite professed aversion to foreign entanglements, particularly in the Mideast
