@EndWokeness How nice of Crockett to step forward to have the knife tested on her to see if it can make lethal stab wounds or not.
Truly Stunning and Brave.

@temuldjin Telling telemarketers that I'm gonna jerk off while they talk is like the least bad thing I've told them. 🤣

@philthatremains Hard pass.
I saw his debate/talk with Angry Cops and Michael acted like a spoiled nepo toddler.
I can't take anything he says seriously, he is at the same level as Hasan Piker or Kyle Kulinski.

Stargate Trivia: The Top 10 Running Gags in Stargate: SG-1
#SaveStargate
10. Blue Jello
The blue jello predates my involvement with the show. By the time Paul and I joined SG-1 in its fourth season, the gelatin was already de rigueur in most every mess scene, eventually, finding its way to Atlantis as well. So what’s the deal? Search me. I seem to remember someone saying it was simply something the prop department whipped up one day that stood out, both for its neon properties and sheer ridiculousness, quickly becoming a comically beloved visual staple.
9. O’Neill’s obsession with The Simpsons
O’Neill was full of Simpsons references and an admitted fan. Why? Well, because most of the show’s writers were fans as well, although nowhere near as huge a fan as Richard Dean Anderson. How big a fan was he? So big that he attended the table reading of a Simpsons episode and was totally blown away by the experience. Occasionally, he would even bring his daughter by my office to check out the various Simpsons-related dioramas and action figures that bedecked my shelf. Eventually, actor Dan Castellanetta guested on the show (Citizen Joe) and he and Rick hit it off. They had a great time working together and, months later, Dan showed his appreciation by writing a Stargate/RDA-themed Simpsons episode to which Rick lent his voice talents.
8. Pineapples
If you’re watching Stargate and ever happen to catch sight of a pineapple, there’s a good chance the episode you’re viewing was directed by long-time Stargate director Will Waring. The pineapples were his signature visual. More often than not, however, the fruit were so carefully camouflaged, most viewers would be hard-pressed to notice them. Still, there’s plenty of fun to be had in trying. I once asked Will “Why pineapples?” and he told me that on one of his first productions, he was camera operator on a scene involving a high speed chase. For some reason, he put a pineapple in the car’s back window as a gag – and then forgot to remove it for the actual shoot. As a result, for the entire high-octane chase sequence, there’s a pineapple clearly rattling around in the back window of our protagonist’s car. Nobody noticed – until the dailies. The director was livid and was prepared to fire Will – but the producer LOVED the pineapple gag. Will got to keep his job – and the signature pineapple was born.
7. The Big Wrench
Where Will Waring had his pineapples, director Martin Wood had his big wrench. You’ll often spot it in the background, in the hands of longtime Stargate SG-1 Fight Coordinator Dan Shea (Sgt. Siler), as he makes adjustments to equipment or simply walks around with this huge, oversized calling card. Every once in a while, Martin would get into the big wrench background action as well, donning the persona of his onscreen alter-ego, Major Wood.
6. Peter DeLuise’s Hitchcockian touch
Whereas Will had the pineapples and Martin had the big wrench, director Peter DeLuise had…Peter DeLuise. Before he was a director, Peter was an actor, and so it was only natural that he’d take a page out of Hitchcock’s book and make himself his own visual signature. He appeared as a host of background characters and played the part of the young Urgo opposite his father Dom. Even in the most challenging of episodes, Peter found a way to make his trademark appearance. Once, we thought he’d missed his cameo – only to discover he’d found an ingenious way to make a subtle appearance. In one scene, as Teal’c sits in his darkened room, deep in meditation, we pull back to reveal he is surrounded by candles – several of which are assembled to spell out the initial “PD”.
5. Jonas Quinn’s voracious appetite
Actors have their trademark “bits” as well and, for Jonas, it was food. Whether it was buttered toast in Night Walkers or the infamous banana scene in Descent (which, incidentally, ran about three minutes long in the director’s cut), he was always snacking. But he crossed the line in one episode where he showed up in the gate room sipping tea from a mug and had to be reminded – the tea mug was another actor’s trademark “bit” (see below).
4. Magnets
Every once in a while, whenever Carter tried to explain some scientific or technological wonder, Jack would try to tie it back to magnets. What was the deal with O’Neill and magnets? Well, this one was compliments of Creator/Executive Producer Brad Wright who once had someone pitch him some ridiculous scientific theory. When a dubious Brad asked him to clarify the faulty science, the other individual shrugged and offered: “Magnets?”. It eventually became the stock response to every befuddling question of logic.
3. The Wizard of Oz
This was another running joke that predated my involvement in the production but SG-1 was peppered with references throughout its ten-year run, culminating in the Wizard of Oz sight gag in the show’s 200th episode (200). Of course, by that point in the series run, the line-up had changed, offering a slightly altered version of the originals: Carter as Dorothy, Daniel as the cowardly lion, Teal’c as the tin man, and, of course, Jack as the scarecrow.
2. Indeed
If there is one word that perhaps appears in more episodes of Stargate than any other (beside, maybe, “stargate”), it’s “Indeed”, Teal’c’s short and sweet one-word response to most anything he is asked – and sometimes not. Actor Chris Judge even took to inserting the odd “Indeed” on occasions where it hadn’t even been scripted. I knew we’d reached the point of no return when, while watching dailies one day, we watched as someone asked Teal’c: “Have you seen him?” to which Teal’c replied: “Indeed – I have not.”
1. What the hell is in O’Neill’s cup?
Seriously. This one is fairly subtle but after noticing it for the first time, you'll always see it. Whenever Jack has a cup or mug in his hand there will come a point in the scene where he’ll glance down, frown, and then attempt to pluck some mysterious foreign object out of his drink.

Right now is the PERFECT time for Stargate to re-enter the world.
All the major sci-fi brands, like Star Trek, Star Wars, Dr Who, and Battlestar Galactica, are either on hiatus or stuck in development hell.
This leaves sci-fi audiences ravenous for some good sci-fi to watch. It's a wide open field for you, @AmazonMGMStudio, @PrimeVideo.
Furthermore, not too much time has passed for the actors. Sure, Richard Dean Anderson is getting up there in age, but he could still have guest appearances. There is still time, but the actors aren't getting any younger.
However, if Stargate goes back into development hell, first of all, we won't see anything happen for another 5 years, minimum. Probably more. And secondly, when it comes back it'll be a reboot for modern audiences with no connection to the current canon, so we lose all hope of seeing our favorite characters again and find out what they've been up to.
Not utilizing this Window of Opportunity™ would be a tragedy on par with not letting Luke, Han and Leia meet on screen in the sequel trilogy.
So now is the time, Amazon. The audience is there, as proven by the worldwide trending tweet storm and the 94,000 viewers of the MGM flyover. Add to that a Change.org petition that will probably reach 100,000 soon, and you have all the market research you could want.
The audience is STARVING. The goal is open. The ball is lined up. You're in position. All you have to do is kick the ball.

@philthatremains @TheBrianShapiro @philthatremains Technically the article headline is correct...
Ukraine have admitted that without Starlink they would have lost the war years ago.
Musk/USA Government gave it to them for free, because of that hundreds of thousands Ukrainians and Russians are dead.

i was just arguing with @TheBrianShapiro on IRL today about DOGE. Brian asserted that DOGE didn’t do anything. but how can that be if DOGE and Elon Musk killed hundreds of thousands of people?
it’s all bullshit.

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries currentaffairs.org/news/how-elon-…

@philthatremains You can't possibly expect the man to count that high.
Takk about unresonable expectations.

This is a bad idea, and it should be discouraged, but someone needs to tell this man that the black population in the U.S. is only 13% or 14%, so the "eye for an eye" model is a terrible strategy.

@Ranting_Monkey @realAFLF The answer to your question is that they are both black.

@realAFLF You know Treyvon was on top of him beating his head into the pavement, right?
How is that comparable?

Throughout the Karmelo case, we were told that self-defense doesn’t mean you stab someone if they touch you. The same people argue that George Zimmerman using a gun on an unarmed teenager was self-defense.
This is why we will push harder to gather evidence, provide reporting, and get these incidents prosecuted by the DA or help the defense.

if you don't tip at least 40% you might as well be a none tipper you filthy poor person, don't eat at restaurants.

@messedupfoods Fuck non-tippers, unless I have enough for 40%, I don't go out to eat. I don't always give that much... But.
