@EricMMrozek @99_opinions @WilliamShatner A dogmatic framework. You left out an important word there. That's why ideologues don't bring actual progress.
English

@99_opinions @WilliamShatner Ideology is a set of ideas molded into a framework, Alex.
You are right about the difference between Roddenberry, his immediate successors, and Kurtzman, though. That's one reason why I have serious issues with the newer shows.
English

That is an absurd thing for someone like @WilliamShatner to say. The original Star Trek was INCREDIBLY political even by the standards of its time.
The main difference between it and most sci-fi properties, though, is that its progressivism is universalist in nature.

Star Trek star William Shatner on politics: "Star Trek wasn't political. I'm not political; I can't even vote in the US. So to put a geocentric label on interstellar characters is silly." Is this how celebrities should act?

@BruceShaddad @The_Yaji @sarkasticsharma @grok They were Macedonians, a population at that time known specifically for the prevalence of fair skin, fair hair, and green and blue eyes. You thought Greeks were related to Baltics, and French aren't white. I'm a historian, and you are a clown. Sit down.
English

@JaydenAsphyxia @The_Yaji @sarkasticsharma @grok You are completely wrong. She would not be considered white because she would pass as an Arab. Greek people were closer to the people of the Middle East in look, maybe a tiny shade lighter or darker.
English

@The_Yaji @BruceShaddad @sarkasticsharma @grok No. No Persian in there. Her family came from an area that's predominantly Slavic now, in Europe.

@adam_nimoy As a Russian who stands with Ukraine: thank you, sir.

To commemorate my father’s 95th birthday, I want to remind Spock fans that dad’s parents were Ukrainian immigrants which shaped my father in many ways. Four years of Putin’s war has brought death and destruction to our people, our homeland. LLAP. #standwithukraine #ukraine

@CorpseKings "So, about movie night this Friday: Spaceballs or Blues Brothers?"
English

@BruceShaddad @The_Yaji @sarkasticsharma @grok "Baltic" is not a racial or ethnic group. The Baltic people belong to different ethnic families. Finno-Ugric is an ethnic group, to which the Estonians and Finns belong. Danes ARE Scandinavian. French ARE white. So are Greeks, and ESPECIALLY Macedonian Greeks.
English

@BruceShaddad @The_Yaji @sarkasticsharma @grok Mate...the Baltics are in north-eastern Europe. Completely different region. Your racial categories show you don't know what you're talking about. Baltic countries are about as white as it gets, and Estonians (who are Baltic) are genetically closer to Finns than to anyone else.

English

@The_Yaji @BruceShaddad @sarkasticsharma @grok Along with Thessaly and Epirus, Macedonia was one of the Greek regions where blonde or red hair and blue or green eyes were especially common. And that's Cleopatra's ancestry.
English

@The_Yaji @BruceShaddad @sarkasticsharma @grok By modern American standards she would be considered white. She was a Macedonian-Greek, in an era where Macedonian Greeks were far more "white" than they are today (pre-Turkish occupation). And in fact Cleopatra specifically was known specifically for having especially fair skin.
English

@BruceShaddad @The_Yaji @sarkasticsharma @grok The fact that you applied the term "Mediterranean Caucasian" to a Macedonian queen of ancient Egypt shows that you neither know your history, nor are you able to view history through anything other than a distorted modern American lens.
English

@The_Yaji @sarkasticsharma @grok No. Mediterranean Caucasian. She is closer to an Arab from Jordan than a White from Finland or Ireland genetically
English

@KevinLamb74 Looks good. Reminds me of the Lockwood covers of the 2000s.
English

@KevinLamb74 @Danayoub I never thought the company that made D&D would one day let me know I'm a POS for liking the product they made when I first got into the hobby, and telling me I can't get out of the hobby fast enough. And for the record - I'm on the left. Don't buy from corporations that hate you
English

"I'm standing on the shoulders of giants."
"I love our past and where we came from, and I want to make sure we're honoring and bringing as much of that back as we can." -Dan Ayoub, New Head of D&D at WOTC, Gary Con 2026
If this is true @Danayoub, then I can safely say that I speak for the vast majority of longtime fans of not just the original versions of the game, but also the original authors (Gygax, Arneson, Kuntz, et al), in that I was absolutely disgusted by the vile and patently untrue accusations made by Jon Peterson and Jason Tondro against those who wrote and played the earlier editions in the opening Forewords of the "Making of Original Dungeons & Dragons" book.
The fact that they literally trashed the very creators and contents that the book *was supposed to be celebrating* was one of the worst decisions that WOTC ever allowed.
Please consider recalling all unsold copies and completely scrubbing the names of Peterson and Tondro from the book, replace their libelous text with a proper and respectful introduction, and re-release it. Oh and please make sure that the "problematic" Gods, Demi-Gods, and Heroes is properly added as well since that was a glaring and totally uncalled for omission.
Then commission Jeff Easley to paint ALL NEW covers for each and every "orange spine" AD&D hardcover (PLUS Fiend Folio which never got the orange spine treatment) and re-release them with premium stitching and minus the typos of the earlier print on demand scans. THAT would be awesome, and combined with a corrected "Making of" book would be huge steps in the right direction.

@mangoyan_n @StDog8 @frontlinekit @Olympics @iocmedia Used to it by now. Lost all respect for this POS a good while ago.
English

@SPutinism @frontlinekit @Olympics @iocmedia Not a joke, just a lie. Rich is using the goodwill he built up in Ukraine to engagement-farm with lies so he can complete his full grifter arc.
English

@frontlinekit @Olympics @iocmedia Unfair? To the Russians? How come they are there?
I'm sorry, no, no ,no. No Russians should be in the Olympics. The IOC always accommodates bullies and fails to stand up for the bullied. I wasn't aware that was the Olympic "ideal".
English

@frontlinekit @Olympics @iocmedia She hasn't been banned by the IOC. Why do you continue to further ruin any goodwilm you had built up by peddling this bullshit?

Russian state TV presenter Sergei Mardan stated that Russia's true goal is not just to change the government in Ukraine, but to completely destroy Ukraine as a state.
This is why negotiations with Putin are failing. He doesn't want peace. He wants genocide of Ukrainians and the complete destruction of Ukrainian statehood.
Anyone who supports or justifies Russia's policies today, or who cooperates with Putin, is supporting this genocide.
There is only one way to stop this evil: the Western world must strengthen sanctions and deprive Putin of the resources to wage war.
English

@spooked75 Many of these things are legal in many European countries. Even where legal though, social ostracism tends to be harsher for the reasons you stated. Personally I believe burning scripture should always be legal. Even if it's the scripture I believe in. Freedom of religion.
English

For people in the States who don't understand the difference.
Legal in US, illegal in Europe:
• Holocaust denial
• Nazi salutes and symbols
• "White pride" rallies
• Burning Qurans/Bibles (illegal in some EU countries)
• Spreading COVID conspiracy theories (some contexts)
Legal in both:
• Criticizing government
• Political satire (Charlie Hebdo)
• Journalism
• Academic debate
• Offensive art
Bottom Line
US system: Maximum freedom, even for dangerous speech. Trust the marketplace of ideas.
European system: Freedom within limits necessary to protect democracy and human dignity. Some speech is too dangerous.
Why the difference?
The last time Europe allowed unrestricted hate speech, Nazi propaganda, and disinformation, 6 million Jews and 11 million people total died.
Europe didn't read about the Holocaust in textbooks. They lived it. They buried their neighbors. They saw how words became gas chambers.
They remember. And they're making damn sure it never happens again.

@DanielQuil83995 @retro_anime If I didn't know you were a retard, I'd almost be inclined to take you seriously.
English

@retro_anime >Most popular girls.
>Ranma Saotome.
Nigga, that's a guy.
Also, Akane has to be one of the least attractive chicks in that whole series, and she's a bitch besides.
If I didn't know Japs had a masochistic streak, I'd think this list were total bullshit.
