Upsetting news to hear #StarTrek Starfleet Academy will not go past Season 2. The fandom's inability to embrace any new storytelling outside of nostalgia might as well be the death knell for the fandom.

@tsrblke Was your mother-in-law from Cincinnati Ohio, or another of those nearby vowel states that avoid spices?
English
Man well let me tell you when I had to stay with my mother in law once and discovered she thought chili was ground beef with a can of tomatoes dumped in and I looked at my wife and said "I now understand"

Story time! This has to have happened almost 40 years ago. (long tweet warning) Mommy usually cooked, however, one night she was doing something so she asked me to make meatballs to go with spaghetti for dinner. She left the cookbook on the counter open to the recipe. I got out all the ingredients and was about to start making the meatballs when my dad came into the kitchen and asked what I was doing. I said making meatballs. He replied what is all the rest of that stuff and I, rather confused, said the ingredients for the meatballs. He then informed me that all that stuff didn't go into meatballs. I pointed at the recipe and said yes, they do. This went on for a bit and my dad announced that I was being insolent. I said okay fine then we will make them your way. Thus ensued me making balls o'meat, nothing else, and putting them into the pan to brown. The inevitable ensued and Dad was all why are they breaking apart and I said because those are not meatballs, those are balls o'meat! Arguing about how to make the meatballs recommenced. By this point, Mommy got back and came into the kitchen to figure out what on Earth was going on. I explained and she stared at my dad Iike he had two heads and said the recipe is right there, did you really think meatballs are just ball of meat? And, it turned out, he did. I dumped a bunch of seasoning into the meat, finished browning it up, then added the sauce in so we had meat sauce at least. But still. /fin

@michael_texan @MoronPundit I think glass makes it cook more evenly

Smoked and ready to sauce for meatball subs.

@AdameMedia I believe that is actionable. @SecWar. have some lawyers look into this fool.

@nazirafzal Tell you what. Declare that all sharia "blasphemy" laws are evil and non-islamic, that people can convert away from Islam and not be harassed or punished, and then I might just conclude you're lying again.

If your Faith feels undermined by chocolate box branding, diverse TV adverts or 8 mins of public prayer at a 2 hour interfaith event, then it isn’t your Faith under attack, it’s your sense of control, your discomfort with difference, and your understanding of what Faith really is
English
@JennieSTaer Wow , what a surprise your leftist propaganda that has been de-humanizing Federal Immigration enforcement has managed to convince stupid people that they should mutter darkly. You have been trying to incite violence for how long? Guess you're happy someone is listening to you.
English
One thing I observed while covering the ICE deployment to Houston's Hobby Airport today...
Lots of folks, including airport workers, shaking their heads or sharing their disdain for ICE under their breaths as they watched federal immigration agents walking by.

@BNODesk Really not seeing the difference between Leo and the last communist one (Birch? Benaldo? Pope Commie) and a random revolutionary left wing insurgent kingpin.
English
Pope Leo says airstrikes should be banned: "No one should have to fear that threats of death and destruction might come from the sky." - Reuters

@Rhine2RioGrande @NewEnglandLass Try going to a church instead of hanging around apostates who hate Jesus (islamists).
English
@Rhine2RioGrande He should go to a bible believing non-denominational. We understand we should go looking for a wife somewhere other than the World.

@Suzierizzo1 Us "red state" / patriotic Americans do not tend to get passports. We have 49 states to visit. We enjoy America. Going overseas is for people who dislike the USA. We love the USA. We use passports as often as the Left thinks positively about America - that is, very, very rarely.
English
The Republicans are finally reading the Save Act and finding out that the Red States are the ones where the Save Act will end up hurting the most since they have the lowest Passport ownership!
English
@unusual_whales American men fine with letting the chronically ugly, fat, and/or stupid ones go to Europe: 98% (includes most gay men as well)
English
40% of American women, ages 15-44, would like to permanently move overseas, if possible, per Gallup.
English
@Suzierizzo1 Good. And your promotion of violence will result in your arrest if any breaks out. I recommend buying Little Debbies in lockup. You'll be there soon.
English
All Hell is breaking out at SFO Airport after ICE was sent there by Trump & they randomly detained a mother & her daughter! Witnesses say it was one of the most horrifying things they’ve seen & they gave no reason for their detainment! It’s going to get ugly soon as you can see!
English
@falamer1234 @RafaDelfin @PatriotSweetTea @AlexDuncanTX Everyone, remember they have a term" taqiyya". Lying to advance their apostate murder kingdom. They lie to us since we are not fully human to them. Unbelievers in their cult means you are subject to murder and assault by anyone "above" you. Lying to you is fine, okay, perfect.
English
That comparison is misleading, and it ignores both facts and basic principles of fairness.
First, the Adhan is not some random noise—it’s a core act of worship, just like church bells are in Christianity. The fact that it happens five times a day reflects the structure of Islamic prayer, not an attempt to “disturb” anyone. Frequency alone doesn’t make something unreasonable.
Second, church bells absolutely can be loud and frequent depending on the country and tradition. In many places, they ring early in the morning, on the hour, or for extended periods on Sundays and special occasions. So presenting them as always quiet and rare simply isn’t accurate.
Third, what counts as “disturbing the peace” is subjective and culturally shaped. In Muslim-majority countries, the Adhan is part of the public soundscape—just like bells are in historically Christian societies. People grow up with it, and for many, it’s comforting rather than irritating.
Finally, if we’re going to talk about coexistence, the standard has to be consistent: either public expressions of faith are acceptable for everyone, or they’re restricted for everyone. Singling out one religion’s practice as uniquely problematic while normalizing another’s is not a neutral position—it’s a double standard.
A fair society isn’t built by demanding that one group become invisible. It’s built by applying the same tolerance to all.
English
This is an abomination and should infuriate every American citizen. Muslims defiled the 9/11 Memorial at the FDNY Headquarters by placing their prayer rugs on it. This is absolutely disgusting.

@AlexDuncanTX grab them and use them to help pick up dog poop.

@YoDanno @ralphbakshi Sorry. No.
Not at all.
I would rather watch Czechoslovakian Soviet-Era cartoons about labor unions than Ralph Bakshi's version.
In a rating 1 to 10, I give it a 1.2. The Jackson movies I give a 9.0.
English
I remember the chills I got, the first time I saw this scene with the Ringwraith.
Called me old fashioned, but I prefer the @ralphbakshi animated Hobbit and Lord of the Rings over the live action movies any day.
Anyone else enjoy these?

@MikeBellATL @the_transit_guy Trains were helpful in World War II. It is not the 1940s. Only train weirdo aficionados (and socialist cosplayers) keep wanting trains.
English
@the_transit_guy Unfortunately, that train has left the station. Take a train anywhere in Europe in record time. But Amtrak has poisoned the well for rail travel in this country.
English
The third-busiest domestic air route is Atlanta to Orlando. If high-speed rail connected the two, it could link them in 3 hours via Jacksonville, shorter than current TSA wait times. Just saying.
Greg Bluestein@bluestein
Welcome to Atlanta, where you need to arrive three+ hours early for a two hour flight.

@CCoderDyne @IRA_Darth_Aggie The first game I made loaded with 3/4 inch tapes on the PDP-11. Each room had a CHAIN load for a new tape.
English
@IRA_Darth_Aggie I had a copy of OS/2 2.1 on floppies. I also bought it for the novelty. 😂
I don't remember how many it was, but it was a pile of them.
English
Only 6?
Gabriel Knight came on 11 floppies. 😂
Dave@GamewithDave
Age yourself with something kids today wouldn’t understand 🤔 I’ll start: Installing a game across 6 floppy disks.

@Markfry809 Your slave master pretended to respect the enemy of his owners, the Chinese Communist Party. Clap like a seal, Xi wants enthusiasm from his subjects.
English
@ThugLifeSocial @danielsgoldman You are insane. You are being propagandized into demanding that no one enforce laws your political masters do not like. Rethink, you're being used.
English
@danielsgoldman You and everyone who can have got to stop ICE. Permanently. This is madness.
English
ICE is not at airports to help TSA and reduce lines. They are there (without identification) trying to arrest people, exactly as I predicted.
ICE must be abolished.
