“‘Super rich ex-wives who hate their former spouse’ should filed be listed among ‘Reasons that Western Civilization died’,”Musk wrote in a Twitter post referencing Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife.
Unlike most philanthropists, who dispense funding for causes that impose specific reporting requirements, Scott has adopted a no-strings-attached approach toward her giving. This has won Scott plaudits from organizations who relish the autonomy she has given them.
Wow. She’s actually a decent person. No wonder Musk hates her.
The other day, I had the fun of explaining the Castle Doctrine, stand-your-ground and Trayvon Martin’s murder to my 13-year-old. Just a couple of days ago, we talked about how the U.S. is, as far as I know, the only Western country to regularly use capital punishment and that even Anders Breivik wasn’t given the death penalty for what he did. We had to talk about how the American penal system is almost entirely punitive and not at all rehabilitative.
I fucking love having to explain how much this country sucks to my daughter on a regular basis.
I’m sure this will convince the UFO nuts who have been telling me for over a year that this will prove once and for all that aliens have been visiting Earth.
No question. They will definitely be convinced. And not believe in their UFO nonsense anymore.
It’s one of the most bizarre episodes of the original Star Trek, filmed in a way that you could cut out all the Star Trek scenes and be left with a short pilot episode of this “Gary Seven” spinoff. Did it belong in the Star Trek universe? Would it have even worked?...
Great question! I would have really enjoyed it. I don’t think it’s really all that much of a Doctor Who ripoff because Gary was still human and I believe he was operating under orders. The concept of Isis was great and we’d get to see Terri Garr in a weekly show!
I wouldn’t mind if it only had that one link to Star Trek either. I don’t think every Star Trek spinoff needs to be about Starfleet, the Federation or any of that. It can be a springboard for all kinds of stories in all kinds of places and times.
I totally don’t remember this, but it’s on Memory Alpha:
In 2024, during his encounter with the watcher Tallinn, who also described herself as a supervisor, Jean-Luc Picard recalled how “Kirk’s Enterprise crossed paths” with Gary Seven. Picard explained that Seven, like Tallinn, “was recruited by superior beings as an agent who would, in [her] words, protect the tapestry of history.”
She is indeed. She was also in an episode of The Monkees, she was in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and she was in my favorite Scorsese film, After Hours.
I would love to see a remake of The Questor Tapes, one of Roddenberry’s pilots that never got picked up. It was about an android trying to find his creator. There was a very stupid scene in it that was made stupid by network executives- Questor had to get information from a woman. Originally, she only agreed to give it if he had sex with her (which Roddenberry said would have been suggested tastefully). They changed it to being friends with her.
I don’t know about that. It was the era of shows like Mission: Impossible and The Avengers. Plus, James Bond was in the theaters. It was that plus sci-fi.
A journalist based in northern Gaza told CNN that Palestinians in northern Gaza are struggling to make use of aid recently air dropped by the US and Jordan, because it does not include essential food supplies.
Abdel Qader Al Sabbah told CNN that the air drops of aid are “useless” calling for items that can be stored and used over several days rather than single portions to be eaten on the day.
Well done as usual, America.
Golf clap.
Maybe the U.S. should stop “helping” Palestinians. And also stop helping Israel.
I didn’t say you couldn’t back up your so-called facts. I asked you to show me the documentation that you claim backs them up. Since you can’t, and you have lied multiple times since, it’s obvious that was another lie.
The question is: Why do you keep lying?
keep running away
This doesn’t even make sense. I’m still talking to you. This is the weirdest lie you keep telling. You’re trying to gaslight me into saying I’m not talking to you and it’s fucking weird.
That’s what I thought. Given an opportunity to humiliate me by showing how completely wrong I was, you couldn’t do it. Because there is no documentation.
Thank you for proving my point.
Also, this ‘running’ lie is not going to become true just because you keep repeating it, sorry.
