kids today are delivering the same report only they didn’t write them.

my daughter and i saw him in a small room at msu when he first began campaigning for governor. i was very impressed with him from the start. not just the fact that he had well thought out, wonky answers to difficult problems, but also because he really seemed to have a big heart. i’ve voted for him three times now. feeling good about his chances against oxy mike.

sure, i get that a person from place a can have a role as someone from place b. it’s the magic of acting. i’m not talking about france and britain who have been allies for over a century. the japanese fascists were exceptionally brutal to those they attempted to colonize. there’s a very long and troubled history of “comfort women”. this happened within the last 80 years, so within 50 years of tng. maybe it’s just me, but this always felt really weird to me.

not sure if this has been discussed by the actresses or anyone familiar with the behind scenes situation, but what was with casting a chinese-american and korean-american as japanese women? given the how the imperial aspirations of japan had such a brutalizing affect on those nations, i still find this culturally tone deaf. why did the characters have to be japanese?

referring, of course to keiko o’brien and hoshi sato.

Bombas porcellus commonly known by the names bumblepig, honey cavy, or pollenporker.

thanks for addressing my questions.

i really appreciate this context.

thanks for this. i have some terminology to look up, but this looks very helpful!

sorry, yeah, that makes sense. that does sound like a nice feature.

sorry what is the torch you’re referring to?

thanks! this is sounding like a workable solution.

i love the mission. if i have to carry a phone to exist i’d rather buy one more and fix it forever. and as i mentioned, i don’t really want to patronize google just to have a degoogled experience. thanks for the info, strongly leaning that way.

yeah, like i said i’m a layperson when it comes to tech. i kinda thought that degoogling was some sort of faustian deal where i had to buy the hardware to get away from the software. sounds like that’s not the case. i’d love to have a phone i could repair and not give google any more cash.

edit: additional question… is calyx pretty easy to set up on it?

not sure it was a solid decade, but it’s been a while. my first pixel was a 4a. anyway, just hearing about it from tech privacy influencers i was following. i’ve not followed any of the drama, but if it’s bad all the more reason to switch.

imo the best thing that modern trek has going for it is the fact that it’s continued in the spirit of the original and sought to represent people otherwise largely ignored on the mainstream cultural landscape. berman-era trek actors would have supported lgbt+ story lines except it had a berman-shaped problem: berman. one of the reasons ds9 is so beloved is because it found creative ways to get around this. i fear with the takeover of skydance this may be wittled away and we’ll be left with nothing but shitty action-adventure copraganda à la paramount but put it in space.

i dunno, i’m not canadian nor meaningfully indigenous, but this reads to me like a deal with the devil in the making. it’s great that carney is sitting down with first nations leaders and addressing their concerns. at the same time this all seems motivated by corporate interests that would otherwise have their projects stalled or cancelled.

this got me weepy. rip

i was up there this spring. got a look at the two adults. apparently there were three? babies, but they must have been hiding. like you i was surprised how easy it was to find them. glad you got to see one!

the right of some people to exist in society isn’t an important stance?! the size of the community determines its worth?! lots of dog whistles packed into this comment.

yep, exactly. they say they’re protecting women as a screen to harm women.
