@nadnerbus @plzbepatient Those two are going to lose their jobs the second there’s a Democrat in office and they’ll get a full ban on future federal employment, and won’t get access to federal pensions or benefits. They will be starting from scratch and loathed by the public.

@plzbepatient Those two guys probably skipped or did minimum college, have no debt, and will now have a secure, well paying job for the rest of their career. Millennials don't think you've grown up until you have 150g in student debt and giggle about "adulting" into your late 30s.

Millennials (now nearing 40) have constructed this reality where positions of authority like cops can only be performed by people who are older than them. When they’re 70 they’ll be mad a 55 year old is arresting them

Unearthed video shows new DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin describing his daughter pleading with him not to spank her: “She’s like, ‘No, Daddy. No, Daddy, No, Daddy, No. I’m sorry, Daddy. I’m sorry, Daddy.’ … She just couldn’t bring herself to even bend over for me to be able to bust her butt.”

@Authw8 Doesn’t really allow for. Hence, the difference from TOS to DS9. As wonderful as TOS was, it was a pure serial. TV today expects a cohesive arc across a season or series, and how well can you do a “Everything is mostly great and only gets better!” arc that’s actually compelling?

@Authw8 The problem is the nature of television today. People don’t really do serialized TV the way they used to. Utopia is great for serialized TV. Meet a problem, quick solve, move on, repeat. Season-long arcs with major character development requires structural problems that utopia/

part of what i think makes trek work is that it's very progressive but it's also very utopian. it depicts a world where humans are held to very high ethical standards, which they largely succeed at meeting. nu trek keeps the progressive politics but depicts a less utopian world. which raises an awkward question - if all this progressive stuff isn't leading to utopia, what is it for exactly? it's like the trek writers lost the confidence that their moral commitments would lead to utopia but never actually re-assessed those commitments.
Rowdy Rick Robinson@RowdyRick73

I've watched all of "Nu-Trek," as it's called today. I'll be blunt, being too "woke" isn't the problem for the Kurtzman era -- that's always been there. There has been hate for every iteration of Trek for a variety of reasons, including Earth being a socialist utopia. TNG was a carbon copy of TOS in season 1, and season 2 wasn't much better -- DS9 was really dark, and I didn't enjoy it as much in its first run as I do today The real reason they lost the fan base wasn't a gay Klingon in a skirt; it was lazy writing. One Trek Hill had the same baggage as Disco. The premise of The Burn was weak and poorly explained. Starfleet protocol was nonexistent, and at times the show felt like Lower Decks meets Police Academy 7—if that's the story you want to tell, bill it that way, and they will come. As long as the showrunners want blockbuster effects more than they want compelling stories, any new version of Trek is going to fail. I think we have reached Trek Fatigue again, and it may be time to shelve it until people who understand the universe are put back in charge.

@Ian_J27 @leviremmick @StefFeldman “We all subsidize each other” ignores the fact that some people will take far more than they give while others will give a lot and receive little. There’s no “we all” about it. There are winners and losers.

For the kids who are too young to remember, you used to be unable to buy comprehensive health insurance on your own if you had depression, acne, diabetes, or obesity. It wasn't just expensive; you couldn't buy it all!
Inez Stepman ⚪️🔴⚪️@InezFeltscher

For the kids who are too young to remember, you used to be able to get basically full, complete coverage above a max of $5,000 (aka “catastrophic coverage”) for 90 bucks a month before Obama made it “affordable.”

Euros: "Americans are so fat and lazy!!" Also Euros: "What do you mean Americans don't get paid two months off from work and 50 paid holidays and every other Tuesday paid off and February off on Leap Year and paid three hour lunches???"

I refuse to believe that Americans only get two weeks off a year That's bloody criminal You should get at least five, NOT including public holidays

@Maya__Am_ @loustatschiId They founded a company to buy their house together so that if anyone started looking through records of property transactions, all they’d see is that a generic company bought the house rather than a famous name. Lots of celebrities do it as a way to protect their privacy

@Ian_J27 @StefFeldman The problem is that subsidizing removes accountability How often do you change the oil on a rental? Never We have people treating their shit like a rental their whole lives They just get sicker, fatter and more expensive to keep alive. Nobody benefits, not even the recipients

@leviremmick @StefFeldman So, like… somebody’s gotta foot the bill. You get that right? One way or another, we all subsidize each other’s care, because the choice is that someone pays for it or we start denying care and letting people die.

@LennyUSMC @StefFeldman Tell that to all of the people who were denied coverage because of a past injury that happened by no fault of their own, or the ones who developed conditions from environmental catastrophes, or the ones who were born with congenital issues. Moralize at them, you absolute ghoul.

@_fat_ugly_rat_ Running New York is such an involved process that the executive has an entirely separate campus from the legislative and state agency buildings. There literally is no room in the city to move all the functions of a nation-sized administration without mass displacement.
