Sean Trapani pairs Champagne with hot dogs

It’s dark here. Not in sunlight but in meaning. I cannot figure out why the death of a perfect stranger who said many things I disagreed with has shaken me. Not sure why the reflections of a complete stranger in Scotland who writes wonderful fiction should matter to me. Not sure how I am supposed to return to seeking discussion from those who would dance on my grave. I’ve been through terrorist attacks, hurricanes, losses of loved ones, and this shouldn’t bother me as much as it does. But here we are. It’s dark. But thanks for the hug.

@ContrarianJolly @HoustonChron He denied her motion. End of story. She keeps talking and wants to keep arguing her point. So I’m with him on this, too. God knows what went on before this clip. But I suspect this wasn’t the first interaction between these two on that day.

@SeanTrapani @HoustonChron Still think this guy is in the right? x.com/officer_Lew/st…

Harris County judge Nathan Milliron went viral on social media for his bristly treatment of a county worker who was fixing an audio problem. houstonchronicle.com/politics/houst…

WHAT IS IT CALLED WHEN YOU’RE NOT SUICIDAL BUT JUST REALLY TIRED OF BEING ALIVE?

@jondelarroz @RobertPicardo His job is to shut down dissent. Not engage in debate.

You personally attacked me and other fans @RobertPicardo, and I was not rude, crude, hateful, nor stupid. I gave intelligent analysis on Starfleet Academy and you responded with ad hominem attacks. You need to apologize to me and the fans. This doubling down is NOT helping your brand.

Harris County judge Nathan Milliron went viral on social media for his bristly treatment of a county worker who was fixing an audio problem in the judge’s courtroom. “(I’m) sick and tired of this bulls—,” the judge said. bit.ly/3PSSw4q

@nypost Judge was absolutely correct. A judge is more than a coworker who wears funny looking black robes. A judge is the symbol of authority to enforce the laws of the People and its representatives.

Do not tease a sitting judge in his court room. Even if you are the IT guy and are smarter than everyone in the room. Even if you’re buddies outside the court. A judge is more than a coworker in funny black robes.

@RobertPicardo Can you point to a someone who made good faith critical observations of this version of Trek?

You are a gentleman, Andy. First sincere apology I've ever seen on this platform ! [You will, no doubt, be trolled mercilessly for making it!] Congratulations on the tremendous and well deserved success of book and movie, #ProjectHailMary !

@pureMetatron The dialectic demands two opposing forces. One conserves. One obliterates. Oil and water. Emulsified in time.

J.R.R. Tolkien said evil is incapable of creating anything, only corrupt pre-existing works into twisted caricatures. That's an almost prophetic description of woke ideology infecting our media. We often say "why race/gender swap? Why not making a new character?" They don't because they have to twist and distort, because woke is an evil ideology and it only corrupts what is good. That's why they go after our children, because children are pure, and innocent.

@GBNEWS She swiped at everyone who cheered on the men who beat up women.

JK Rowling declares victory as Olympics bans trans athletes - and swipes at boxer Imane Khelif gbnews.com/celebrity/jk-r…

No one was “banned” from the Olympics today. Film at 11.

@artwithinpod “What specifically is your objection to keeping men out of women’s r*pe centers, prisons, locker rooms and toilets?” …said by no one who interviews these clowns.

I guess this isn't the first time, but gosh, it's cool to see that Andrew Garfield is a trans ally like that (especially right now!)

@TheQuartering Everything.

everything you love will be destroyed.

@HPotterUniverse He looks like he found that costume at @SpiritHalloween

Here is another look at Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape. What do you think?

@jondelarroz @RobertPicardo “Promoting the show” and “narrative capture” both describe the same set of facts. Picardo likely has cognitive blind spots because he has no (professional or social) incentives to consider alternative framing. From his pov, the critical world seems insane.

Yes, @RobertPicardo. And I was fooled into thinking you were a reasonable Catholic fellow who just differed on politics. Once you started attacking me as a troll and lying about me saying I'm just disliking a show for a few bucks on X (like it makes a difference), I knew you were following a studio narrative to try to discredit fans as a cynical marketing push for this godawful tragedy. You owe me and others apologies for your behavior. It wasn't right to treat the fans that way.

@HeidiBriones I imagine that many people still remember getting that rare, (seemingly) personal reply to their fan mail. We recognize how rare and special it is to be seen in a crowd. Same vibe. Different tech.

what a day that was

@WilliamShatner Sometime shows fail simply because they fail to capture the imagination of the audience. Showrunners can blame the audience if their product fails. But that’s self delusion

And when the Next Gen came out; there was tons of hate because it “wasn’t Star Trek” and the cast probably was in fear from the fans. Again when the series with Bakula came out, it too was panned by the fans because it “wasn’t Star Trek.” Star Trek is different for everyone. 🤷🏼

@WhiteHouse Ed Parker approves

LEGENDARY. 🎸

@TheValPerrine @JamesGunn @ThatKevinSmith Rest in peace. Thanks for all of the positive posts and your body of work.

It is with deep sadness that I share the heartbreaking news that Valerie has passed away. She faced Parkinson’s disease with incredible courage and compassion. She lived life to the fullest and what a magnificent life it was. @JamesGunn @ThatKevinSmith gofund.me/68a845e42

@ahardtospell All art is theft

Here’s the thing about “Star Wars ripped off ____” discourses. They’re all correct. George Lucas ripped off so many different things and put them in a blender to make something that loops all the way around to being original.
