Good news, we’ve won the war.
Department of State@StateDept
PRESIDENT TRUMP: The war in Iran has been won. The only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news.

@AS90425047 @BobbinBobert @prestonstew_ They didn't have a nuke before, they still don't. No change. They had material to enrich, they still do. No change. The theocratic regime was in power, still is. No change. The military has been diminished, but can be rebuilt.
English
@BobbinBobert @prestonstew_ 1) they def. don't have a nuke
2) the regime has been changed multiple times
3)they have no military
so technically yes.
English
@tracyharms @revsully @nerd_cookies Do you think the Planetologist's position was that important? Kynes might have never met with the Emperor, so it's doubtful he would've been subjected to a Truthsayer.
English
@DivineShadow33 @revsully @nerd_cookies There’s definitely ambiguity as to how much the Emperor was informed, but (1) Kynes is depicted as having overlapping loyalties, not conflicting loyalties, & (2) a Truthsayer assisted the Emperor on matters of such importance.
English
In the book, Chani is Liet Kynes’ daughter. Would establishing this connection in the films have strengthened or weakened her character?🤔
English
@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Yeah, that's now how regime change works.
English
🇮🇷🇺🇸🤔 Trump on Iran: They gave us a big present worth a tremendous amount of money; it arrived today. It was oil and gas related. We are dealing with the right people.
We have really regime changed; this is a change in the regime because the leaders are all very different than the ones we started off with.
English
@DanFriedman81 So far they haven't lost that much. Yes, some personnel, some high level figures, but the regime is generally intact and still in power.
English
How does nobody in that part of the world understand that losers don’t get to make demands?
“Do this or you will have to kill us more” is not the cudgel these guys seem to think it is.

Iran’s four key demands for U.S. negotiations, Reuters reports: Guarantees against future military action Compensation for wartime losses Formal control of the Strait of Hormuz No restrictions on its ballistic missile program

@DJSnM @ashleevance It feels like one of those concepts that work only on paper or when animated.
English
@ashleevance Airport Revolution? Are you listening to those people promoting circular runways?
English
@fandompulse Instead of remaking it, they should just reboot it with new characters, maybe do a baton handover by Scully and Mulder to the new agents in the pilot or something.
English
Gillian Anderson says Ryan Coogler's pilot script for his 'X-Files' series is 'really good'
“Have an open mind and give it a chance because it’s going to be f***ing cool ... It's different, and it's special"
It also features at least one race-swapped character.
Are you going to give it a chance?
English
@revsully @tracyharms @nerd_cookies Yeah, yeah, nice tune, didn't help them much, did it? ;-)
BTW, I'd love to see a SERIOUS (or at least not as absurdist as "Lexx" was) series set in the League of 20,000 Planets setting. That pilot TV movie was super dark and the vibe just floored me the first time I saw it.

@DivineShadow33 @tracyharms @nerd_cookies Hey, Divine Shadow! Not related to our convo but…
YO WAY YO!

@JordanGuatqui @JamesRaxz Alan Ruck is 69 years old. His Harriman would be a retired admiral by now ;-)
English
@JamesRaxz Bring back Alan Ruck as Captain Harriman and someone new to play Captain Rachel Garrett for a “Lost Era” show fleshing out the transition from the Enterprise B to the Enterprise C.
English
I would love it. But you would appeal to viewers over 40 and no one else and the studio won’t fund it. Same reason Legacy fizzled and Prodigy got low ratings.
Dutch Butters Gaming@DutchButters
I’ve got an idea. A new Star Trek show set shortly after the TNG /DS9 era with a new crew, New ship and exploring a new quadrant of space. Written and ran by creators who are familiar with, understand and respect the lore of the show that came before.
English
@JamesRaxz Viewers over 40, as in those who actually have money for subscriptions? What a loss! ;-)
English
@A_Sober_Drunk @djairrick The first one did well. The second and third not so much. Because many fans were disappointed with the first one, those who stayed were even more disappointed with the second one.
English
@djairrick "the older fans aren't coming back"
Abrams Trek absolutely killed the box office. Because of old Trek fans like me.
English
The "older fans" who left aren't coming back. If these newer shows aren't pulling in younger viewers it's game over. These delusional takes are pathetic.
Stephen Green@VodkaPundit
If Paramount were really smart, they'd shelve both seasons, delete the files, take the tax write off, pretend the show never happened, and consider it a necessary down payment on winning back Trek fans.
English
@djairrick Shitty writing will not pull younger viewers in. They have standards too. And I disagree about older fans not coming back. Just give us something worth coming back to.
English
@tracyharms @revsully @nerd_cookies Yeah, it was the sietch name - he was known among the Fremen as Liet. The outsiders didn't know it was the same person as Kynes, Liet was seen as sort of a spiritual leader. Not sure if the Emperor knew.
English
@DivineShadow33 @revsully @nerd_cookies IMO Liet was his/her Fremen name, known across sietchs, not his secret name. It seemed to be (and was) a secret name because his status as Fremen was hidden from the Houses, with exception of House Corrino. Kynes was his open name as rep. of the Emperor.
English
@Hontas_Farmer @davepl1968 At a femto-scale. You probably wouldn't even notice if it happened on the tip of your nose.
English
In case you're curious, what would happen if these antiprotons collided with matter?
Best I can reckon, it would release the equivalent of 6.6 FEMTOGRAMS of TNT! No wonder they contain it!
Do we really want Europe playing with that kind of power?
Lukasz Olejnik@lukOlejnik
A truck carrying antiprotons will drive across Europe. A team at CERN just transported antimatter across the laboratory's campus in a truck. Literally. 92 antiprotons packed into a portable trap weighing one tonne. As everyone knows, antimatter annihilates on contact with ordinary matter - which is basically everything. The final destination is Germany: Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf. An extraordinary delivery in the history of road transport. home.cern/news/press-rel…
English
@revsully @nerd_cookies OK, just checked, and yeah, Thufir calls her Doctor Liet Kynes when talking about her, then she's introduced the same way by Gurney when meeting Leto.
English
@DivineShadow33 @nerd_cookies Yet in the Villeneuve movie, I believe she was referred to as Liet Kynes. I didn’t catch it until my second viewing but it struck me odd…that’s Keynes’s stiech name and why would they be using it? Was that some continuity error?
English
@StarWarsDaily_ I'd give it 3 out of 8. Since I only managed to watch 3 episodes before losing interest.

On a scale from 1-10, how would you rate Skeleton Crew?
