It’s so crazy to think that there’s a decade’s worth of Star Trek product that I haven’t seen and never will. Meanwhile, in 2001 I was at a Star Trek convention in Las Vegas and getting drunk at Quark’s bar because the big screens there were showing a preview of the upcoming Star Trek Enterprise show that couldn’t be seen elsewhere. But then the first two reboot movies happened and they were so stupid I just walked away.
They never cared about accountability. It was always funny how dems insisted that “kids in cages” was the most horrific human rights violation imaginable and Trump needed to be taken to task for it. When you pointed out that it was a practice started under Obama you immediately got “that’s whataboutism” or “that’s in the past.” Apparently, if you committed a horrific violation of human rights a year ago it’s OK.
It’s stunt casting. Shockingly (or not), audiences did not show up to watch a black, mincing, man in a dress as the Doctor. So even though there’s currently no future for the series in place, they brought in an actress who hasn’t been a part of the show for some ten years, but was a part of it when it was very popular. The problem is that they did this same shtick about year or so ago when they brought back David Tennant for a couple of specials. The ones where he got lectured about not being a proper Timelord, because he was male presenting, by a tranny.
To each his own. I think it actually is interesting that they went through the effort of getting vintage jeans that makes sense for the setting, rather then just buying modern stuff with an attitude of “who’s going to notice jeans when we have an important lesbians during the post apocalypse story to tell?”
This situation is hilariously hypocritical. For years we’ve had liberals insisting that we Americans have a duty to let in all refugees. They’ve ignored others’ concerns about abusing the system, not bothering to integrate into society, etc. by labeling anyone with those concerns as racist. Now this afrikaner thing comes up and suddenly being a refugee isn’t enough. Meanwhile, the “racist” people haven’t had to reverse their position at all. Hell, even if they were just racists they’d be consistent in accepting the afrikaners. What a weird self own the liberals engaged in, where they positioned themselves such that the “evil racist bigots” come off with infinitely more integrity.
Good DEFEATING evil? You bigot! Do you think the lesbian space witches were evil when the Jedi inadvertently murdered them? Do you think Jedi Korean was good when he invoked the oppressive patriarchy to give his adoptive daughter figure permission to kill him in revenge for saving her life, thus denying her the satisfaction of a proper revenge lady boner? YOU’RE A MONSTER!!
You know, my gut instinct was to say that sounds stupid and why would someone turn on their family for wrongthink. Then I remembered that whole thing with Alec Holowka and his sister siding with the woke mob. The Pope’s brother is going to be excommunicated and condemned to burn in hell. All the liberals on Bluesky have to do is ask.
So I work in audit and there’s a common term in this field: segregation of duties. It means you can’t have one person performing a lot of controls, because it means they’d be in a position to override those controls. Recently there’s been a movement to not call it that because “segregation” is triggering to people. Now it’s “separation of duties.” Which is NOT the same thing. “Segregation” is “separate but equal.” As in if it’s a control you need managers doing you split it among them. If you’re merely separating then, hey, have the janitor sign off on a $1,000,000,000 acquisition (okay, that’s actually “delegation of authority”). Who cares?
