@Mikehomeseller It stands on its own as a movie; and doesn't require knowledge of Trek to be able to understand it.

Is The Wrath of Khan the best Star Trek movie?
#mikesquestions #TheStingisBack
The Sting@TheStingisBack
William Shatner is 95 today! How could I not post something from Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (1982)? The Enterprise crew came roaring back and delivered one of the all-time great sequels, basically a submarine thriller in space. Shatner is brilliant here.

@MBrant75 I love it on Twitter. Someone posts an example specific to them and somehow it's supposed to invalidate all other possibilities.

Bro. I just went to the store. It took 15 minutes round-trip in my car.
If you prefer walking to the bus stop and waiting in the rain, have fun…but let’s not lie about it.

@Surrey_Albion @TonyIncenzo Not even sure what point you’re trying to make. You’ve gone away off in a tangent.
English
@Ray_Devlin @TonyIncenzo Doesn't change the point though does it
English
One of the most unpleasant aspects of armchair Premier League fans who never go to watch their teams play is that they will go into work/school on a Monday and ridicule proper supporters of smaller clubs who do actually go to watch their teams play. This is called banter.

@Surrey_Albion @TonyIncenzo I see you have alot of trouble reading.
English
@Ray_Devlin @TonyIncenzo In Houston and not knowing the difference between plastics and real fans, and from Glasgow supporting one of then old firm, thinks yanks could cope going to a old firm game??? Or even understand it??
English
@Surrey_Albion @TonyIncenzo You lot? I’m Scottish. Celtic was my closest professional club.
English
@Ray_Devlin @TonyIncenzo You lot are more interested in half time shows, o saw so many tweets about the superpower and not one mentioned who was playing,it was about half time shows and food
English
@Ray_Devlin @TonyIncenzo Youre a yank, you dont get it, you support shit if we rolled it in glitter put a few million price tag on it and said it it had won the supershit of the world shiny cup

@johncardillo Radio host has a senseless opinion that will get him clicks. Figures.

The TSA was always a solution in search of a problem.
Just my .02

@dsonoiki Mueller was not on a personal crusade. He was doing a job he was appointed to do, and found enough to invoke a Trump cover up.
English
I see both sides of this Mueller thing
to me, it’s abhorrent and cruel when Trump does this kind of stuff
but also, Mueller sabotaged Trump’s first term and tried to put him in prison for fake crimes just because Hillary didn’t know the correct states to campaign in
so idk

Private security hired by the airlines/airports

@ChaseForLiberty What would you replace it with?

@amfetamigo @idobadtakes The Woodlands is my only reference point, but I’d imagine they are all the same. It’s not the aesthetics that are the problem. There’s actually a lack of social cohesion.
English
@Ray_Devlin @idobadtakes unless you mean suburbs in general, i don't think there's anything unique about the woodlands in that regard. US suburbs crush individuality end-to-end starting with how all the houses and lawns must look the same, even shopping centers.

The median Republican is driving 35 miles from The Woodlands to downtown Houston in a Ford F-150 that gets 18 miles a gallon
ja3k@ja3k_
Idk why gas prices are so culturally salient in america. You could drive an hour a day and it probably comes to less than $3k/year. Is it because they put the price on billboards along the road?
English
Is that what would you say about Trump if he died tomorrow?
George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway3d
It's actually simpler than that, Brit. This is the kind of thing Trump does that demonstrates to anyone with a soul that he is a despicable person. He can't help but say these things, because that's just who he is.
English
@Timcast The "Peace President". This is why he's about as far away from a Nobel Prize as you can get. He's a horrible human being.

@chrismartenson This post is an example of the 'prevention paradox'. When prevention works, nothing happens, and people then feel they have space to complain about the cost of prevention.
English
Unpopular opinion: TSA doesn't make flying safer at all, but is a ritual designed to emascualte and demoralize people, conditioning them to obey truly ridiculous rules and orders.

Phoenix Airport. Screw the government for doing this to us. Fuck em. Seriously. Fix this! It’s embarrassing
English
@nazzobetweeting Nope. On a 10 hour flight I need the legroom. Long hauls tend to have enough overhead space unless you're bringing hand luggage only; in which case, I'm not sacrificing my comfort for your convenience at the other end.
English
@RonDeSantis Yeah, looking forward to the "Security Fee" being added to our fares. Watch that grow, watch staff numbers kept just high enough to keep customer complaints just below the threshold.
English
Is there evidence that creating TSA has made air travel safer over the past 25 years?
If not, then why not let the airlines and airports handle it?
Why give politicians the power to play games with the travel of our people?
Lisa Miller@LisaMaret
@RonDeSantis Privatize @TSA since Democrats refuse to fund it. @SecDuffy @elonmusk @Delta @United @realDonaldTrump
English
@dilanesper @alwaysadblock No, I'll stand by that. My worst experiences of the Max on borderline-long haul *were* horrible. As to the older 737's, yes, they are the same, but seat design is not. It creates more winner v loser scenarios for the armrest. That *does* impact comfort on a long flight.
English
@Ray_Devlin @alwaysadblock At any rate, it's also, as you are now admitting, a fairly minor issue and not "horrible".
English
This is not true at all. They do give you the option now of being a complete cheapo and paying for a terrible experience.
But nobody forces you to not pay some more and get better service.
Andrew McCarthy@AJamesMcCarthy
Every time I fly I feel like the airline industry could use a major shakeup. Like, where is the Steve Jobs or Elon Musk of aviation? It’s probably the one industry where the average user experience has gotten significantly worse over the last few decades.
English
@dilanesper @alwaysadblock The A320 is a bit wider than the 737 MAX, and on United that usually means slightly more shoulder room. They are small margins, but they matter. You might argue with the characterization, but my experiences are that you do feel it on a full flight, especially for 4 -5 hours.
English
@Ray_Devlin @alwaysadblock You said "horrible for a lone traveller", which does seem like catastrophizing when we are talking about a standard pitch narrowbody airline seat in 3-3 configuration.
