@JoeTurco @mikehilgers The areas around Lincoln were CPBOne drop off sites under Biden. While I wouldn't attribute the rise to that specifically, it is impossible to tell if there is a correlation because LPD does not, and refuses to, collect and document immigration status of those detained for crimes

@fandompulse I didn't watch because of all the stuff I did hear and see about the show. The fact that it was a continuation from Discovery already put the show in a negative light. Then I learned even more about how much it wasn't for me from the advertising.

Starfleet Academy star Robert Picardo blames the show getting canceled on a lack of advertising: “Maybe they wouldn’t have heard about it, because there was really no advertising push behind our show.” Did you not watch because you didn’t hear about Starfleet Academy?

@rushicrypto The problem is it is a tax on unrealized gains and makes home ownership harder and prohibitive. My state taxes me based on an imaginary value THEY assigned my home. Property tax is also non-mitigatable, meaning it squeezes older folks on fixed incomes out of their homes.

I’m very confused about the number of people who think “property tax” is a sales tax on you home rather than taxes to pay for public services you use every day. “I paid off my home why do i still pay property taxes?!?!?” Oh, did you also stop using the roads and libraries and sidewalks and parks? Not worried about fires anymore?

@JamieBonkiewicz This immature desire to abuse and misinterpret the 25th Amendment because the election didn't go your way is why I am so thankful our predecessors intelligently wrote adequate checks and balances into our government.

@RealJamesWoods If the courts will not uphold the law, citizens will have to take the law into their own hands. And when that happens, the "law" is up to the individual interpretations of the ones choosing to enforce it. Scary times indeed. An unfortunate return to the "wild west".

@Mericamemed Boomers are either running the government or leeching off it. Gen X is irrelevant. Millennials are too busy chasing matcha, man-buns, and night life to realize they let the 60 year old politicians become 80 year old politicians. Gen Z is going to fix what you all broke.

@atrupar "No Kings" & "Trump can do anything whenever he wants" in the same week. I'm a moderate but I find it hard to take the Democrats seriously these days. Their message is false & twisted spin. Democrats shut off their pay and Trump is the one that doesn't care about them?

@OnlyStans85 Star Trek had a proven formula. Yes it was liberal, but it also had room for the conservative. The main drive was intelligence. Mind-expanding thought-provoking stories focused on the positive human potential in the future. Modern Trek intentionally moved away from all that.

More & more I am convinced these people do not watch Star Trek. They remember it from childhood. This era doesn't feel the same (because it can't) & they can't process it. They feel some hurt that doesn't exist anywhere but in their mind & they lash out on a keyboard and mic

Film reviewer Jeremy Jahns on Alex Kurtzman's Star Trek: "To be fair it is difficult to find any modern sci-fi that wasn't influenced by Star Trek in some way. The one exception being modern Star Trek." Is he right?

@fandompulse While this show unraveled pretty badly by the end, he did accomplish this goal. Is was the most Star Trek thing on TV at the time by far. There were many intelligent and thought-provoking episodes.

Seth MacFarlane on why he made The Orville to capture the spirit of the original Star Trek: “There’s a certain kind of aspirational, hopeful, optimistic sci‑fi that hasn’t really been done in 15–20 years. I mean, Star Trek did it for a long time and then they evolved into something different, and it left open that space for that thing that we all used to love so much.”

Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock
It's already illegal to vote if you're not a citizen. They're trying to convince us there are droves of people who are willing to risk deportation and the abuse that we are seeing from ICE to vote illegally. It defies credulity and it's simply not true.

@unusual_whales Does Senator Murray really not know how Social Security tax works? I am again asking if maybe we should have a general IQ test requirement before running for office...?

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184k pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? Dahl: Yes Murray: And the rate for someone making $1 million? Dahl: 2.2% Murray: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184k, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.

Watch this pompous, arrogant judge with his elitist attitude berate an IT worker who was trying to help him. Harris County, Texas Judge Nathan J. Million of the 215th Civil Court is facing criticism online after this video circulating on social media shows what a pr*ck he is.

@fandompulse He's not wrong. Star Trek constantly contradicted itself in regards to the Prime Directive. But I also see the benefit of it's protections in some cases. Definitely a tough ethical debate.

Star Trek: Voyager actor Robert Beltran on how the Prime Directive is ridiculous: "The idea of leaving any species to die in its own filth when you have the ability to help them, just because you wanna let them get through their normal evolutionary processes is bunk -- it's a bunch of fascist crap. I much prefer the Cub Scout motto." Is he correct?

@astro_jaz Old rocket tech, old target, and only around the moon. A step backward innovation wise. I support space exploration, but this seems like a colossal waste of money.

@MattWalshBlog I'm a moderate that swings conservative more often than not. And I am excited to finally see something done about Iran. They have been a threat and destabilizing force to the region and The US my entire life. I only hope that we have a plan with concrete goals for success.

I’ve never seen such a disconnect between the commentary on this site and what I hear in the real world. I’ve talked to dozens of normal conservatives in real life about the Iran War and I haven’t met a single one who’s actually enthusiastically in favor of it. At best they’re warily optimistic. In most cases they’re opposed. In some cases they’re not only opposed but deeply furious. And yet here if you utter a word of criticism about the war you’ll be shouted down by throngs of alleged American conservatives who allegedly have wanted nothing more than for America to go to war with Iran. It just doesn’t reflect what I see on the ground. That’s not just cope because my position is unpopular with “my side.” I’ve held plenty of unpopular positions. I really don’t care. But in this case the social media vs real world divide is stark and unlike anything I’ve seen before.

@BernieSanders I was about to be really shocked by this data. Until I saw the proposed community note with the actual tax rates paid. I know I ways have to fact-chrck these kind of claims from Bernie.

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, recently paid an effective tax rate of less than 3.3%. That is less than the average truck driver, nurse and teacher. YES, we must demand the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@ansonmount I did more research. The bill says the data is "deidentified" at point of submission by the healthcare provider. They literally submit only the required data, the only identifiable being a birth date, via a form. No actual identifiable data gets submitted to the government.

@Anlashok0 @ansonmount It can be very dangerous. We've seen the abuse of gun registries as public data which led to targeted harassment, stalking, and criminal activity.

@ansonmount @Perty_Slick De-identified means that the PHI/PII is masked/erased. The original, unmasked version gets destroyed. Protection of patient privacy is an extremely serious matter, and failure to protect can carry extremely serious consequences.
