Child poverty in the United States just more than doubled. You can thank Joe Manchin. ( www.motherjones.com )

The United States’ poverty rate experienced its largest one-year jump on record last year, with the rate among children more than doubling from 2021’s historic low of 5.2 percent to 12.4 percent according to new numbers from the US Census Bureau out today. They’re the latest data to reflect the devastating effects...

I just continued an exhausting comment chain from a “vote blue no matter who” Bidenite liberal who had nothing else to argue but “harm reduction.”

WHERE IS IT BEING REDUCED? honk

WHERE? big-honk

UlyssesT ,

I actually liked Enterprise, sloppy Temporal Cold War part aside. Even the Xindi arc redeemed itself eventually and the show was taking off after that.

I even liked the opening song. Fight me. picard-direct-action

The Fox GOP debate melted down when the word “climate” was mentioned ( www.motherjones.com )

After the network showed a clip of a young conservative activist saying that climate change was the number one issue for young voters, Fox News moderator Martha MacCallum asked for a show of hands in response to her question, “Do you believe human behavior is causing climate change?”...

Except none of them will get jobs because Trump thinks they’re all dorks.

Stephen Miller is an ultra dork, creepy as he also is.

That wouldn’t be a problem if so many far left people weren’t so insufferably woke.

Get that divisive nazbol shit out of here, bootlicker.

UlyssesT ,

Everyone that disagrees with me is a bot, a bedtime story for liberals.

UlyssesT ,

Ahh yes

reddit-logo style opener. I know everything after that is going to be smug centrist garbage.

calling people nazis and boot lickers isn’t divisive.

Fuck you. It’s stupid to not divide away from nazis and nazi enablers. Sit down with ten nazis, you just made a table of eleven nazis.

You people are the new Christian Right from the 90s.

And you’re the same kind of useless liberal that let Hitler take the chancellorship and thought it was a smart compromise.

UlyssesT ,

It’s just insanity.

Fuck off with that ableist “people that disagree with me are mentally ill and mental illness is for bad people” shit.

UlyssesT ,

you’ve just proved my point for me.

You had no point to make except you’re a bigoted piece of shit.

You just want to score moral outrage points

Outrage about outrage is still outrage, except you’re outraged that people care too much.

because you’re a narcissist.

You’re projecting, hard.

Conversations with people like you are never productive

Then shut the fuck up and stop replying, you bigoted piece of shit.

Oh, so you just want the state to be your landlord? Enjoy your cinderblock gulag.

Braga: ‘I still cringe when I hear it.’ Apparently, it was a long road to the franchise’s most despised title music ( www.slashfilm.com )

Working from the oral history in The Five Year Mission: The next 25 years, this is a fascinating deep dive that answers the question “How did a recycled cover of a 1998 song written for Rod Stewart, ‘Where My Heart Will Take Me’ aka ‘Faith of the Heart’ become the title music for Enterprise?”...

It grew on me. It fit the intended mood of the show, at least until it got bogged down in time fuckery. I-was-saying

Massive missed opportunity there. sicko-wistful

AOC leads call for federal ethics investigation into Clarence Thomas ( www.theguardian.com )

Five House Democrats led by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York wrote to the US attorney general, Merrick Garland, to demand a federal investigation of the conservative supreme court justice Clarence Thomas, over his acceptance of undeclared gifts from billionaire rightwing donors....

And do absolutely fucking nothing that actually changes that.

Alito: “Regulate us, I dare you!”

Congressional Dems: “Hold our beers…"

Narrator voice: They did not actually regulate Alito. Ever. And they sip wine instead of beer.

Newest "anti-woke" tantrum: Right-wingers don't think kids of different races can be friends ( www.salon.com )

Considering how rapidly the right’s “war on woke” is expanding, it was perhaps inevitable: Self-identified “mama bears” on a Texas school board are angry that a classroom had a poster showing people of different races holding hands. Last week, the school board in Conroe, Texas, a small city north of Houston, turned the...

My only friends in grade school for a significant time were different race than me. I-was-saying

UlyssesT ,

That’s a good take and that’s also why I reject “sure the Torment Nexus is tormenting people in a nexus right now but in a fantastically different society it might actually be a pleasant and nice thing” takes on contemporary horrors such as cryptocurrency, microplastics, and data mining software.

When I was a young LIB I used to be annoyed that the Enterprise-D’s interior looked like a luxury hotel and had schools and children running around.

I feel like my griping about that caused a monkey’s paw to curl and gave us decades of tacticool P R E S T I G E T V bullshit in its place that is only now gradually starting to clear up with Strange New Worlds. sicko-wistful

UlyssesT ,

Strange New Worlds is the Trek we should have had all throughout the “reimagining/shot in the arm” years where Abrams giggled and bashed other people’s toys together while making explosion sounds. sicko-wistful

UlyssesT ,

P R E S T I G E T V was a mistake to blend with Trek and I’m glad Strange New Worlds avoids the mix.
