Exactly. He may not have been a great actor in terms of range or depth of character, but no one else is delivering a line like “Losers whine about doing their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen” like that.

He would’ve been awful. Connery was good at playing smarmy dickheads, but he was kind of ass any time he wasn’t playing a smarmy dickhead.

Gollum should’ve been played by Nicolas Cage. With no VFX or makeup.

Oh cool, a Reddit moment on Lemmy.

Yeah. If you disagree with me on tax and healthcare policy or whatever, I’m happy to share a platform with you. If you disagree with me on the human rights that should be afforded to immigrants, racial minorities, LGBT people, etc, I hope you get banned from the entire internet.

Oh yeah, the demographic that would favor ICE ads the most is definitely sports viewers and military propaganda shows (NCIS and such). I’m sure those ads are all over CBS prime time as well.

For real. TikTok should be regarded as a de facto intelligence service for the DOJ.

I don’t know if they still are now, but they were running a LOT of them a few months ago.

We know that the administration is willing to monitor social media to make problems for people who oppose the government, and I’ve seen a LOT of people posting potentially legally actionable things specifically relating to ICE’s presence on the platform. A bunch of easily identifiable people posting things that could be legally interpreted as threats to ICE makes the DOJ very happy.

The incredibly frustrating thing is that other than the song, the Enterprise intro is really good! I love the “ships named Enterprise through the ages” motif. BUT THAT SONG THOUGH.

The Owl House gang creates suspension of disbelief from first principles.

I am filled with a blinding, murderous rage.

I assume that was the intended effect and you have done a wonderful job.

Bluesky has been absolute shit to Palestinians for like six months now. Just outright banning people for being scammers without a shred of evidence for the claims. The Bluesky head of T&S is a complete piece of trash and has only ever doubled down on his crappy decisions.

Someone let AM write a DS9 episode.

Yeah, that’s why this bubble popping scares me so much. AI industry spending is propping up the US economy to a degree that is really frightening.

I was so excited to see what she’d do when she was free of the Disney creative shackles and YEP, IT’S GOOD.

This is just something Apple does once in a while. Remember when the new Mac Pro model came out a few years back and they sold optional wheels for the tower that were just wildly overengineered and cost hundreds of dollars? These “Apple is selling something SO EXPENSIVE” stories just sell the idea of Apple as a lifestyle luxury brand. You’ll never see anyone with one of these in real life, but you can bet they’re included in swag bags at celeb events.

Oh, well that’s the whole problem solved, then!
