They aren’t left. They are paid assets or bots by the global fascist movement. I absolutely refuse to consider them left because their actions benefit the right. Who cares what they say, what do their actions do?
Can’t keep your damn dog in line? You don’t get packages anymore. That’s how it should be, a permanent blacklist. Hope your local Walmart has everything you need 😂

This is exactly a name I’d give Trump for all that Cheeto dust he wipes on his face. Fucking hell end the simulation already the admins are fucking with us.
After the most recent revelations, Thomas’s defenders have gone conspicuously silent. Organs like National Review and conservative legal apparatchik Ed Whelan, who loudly dismissed evidence of wrongdoing by Thomas, have had nothing to say about Thomas’s many billionaire patrons....
Dude if I got my ass out of retail/food service to finally become a famous rock star, and my PR agent told me to go work a shift at the local MickyDs I would absolutely fire my agent… From a replica Quake 1 rocket launcher.
Or if that can’t be invented yet I’ll settle for good ol Reliable Trebuchet.

Very tight film. Christopher Plummer is excellent.
\2. Star Trek II / III / IV (as a complete Trilogy)
Can’t separate these just like the LoTR films, anyways you got KHAN, the sacrifice of the Enterprise and Double Dumbass on you. Excellent trilogy.
\3. First Contact
It’s the borg, gotta give it up for the Borg 👏
\4. Galaxy Quest
Never give up, never surrender!
\5. Star Trek TMP
Fuck you I LIKE Enterprise beauty shots set to Jerry Goldsmith music. With that said I like the story and character arcs of Kirk and Spock.
\6. Generations
It’s OK. The rest of the DS9 uniform replacements won’t arrive til Tuesday
\7. Star Trek V
Underrated. Has its moments. I think Sybok gives an excellent performance otherwise forgettable movie
\8. Star Trek Kelvin I
It’s OK. Karl.Urban nails Bones.
Didn’t see the others. I haven’t been sold on seeing Insurrection and Nemesis ever despite easily able to and apparently I should give Beyond (Kelvin III) a chance.
Edit: so the numbers all got changed to 1 when posted and using ol reliable backslash to fix it did but left the slashes? I give up.
In a way, Tasha Yar's fate actually worked out really well for the series
