UHF was a goddamned cinematic masterpiece.

Three O’Clock High is the quintessential 80s movie. Seriously, it’s like someone said, hey, let’s make an 80s movie. It’s also got surprisingly good cinematography.

Nah, man. Luigi was playing Minecraft with me.

Joe Wilson from South Carolina can kiss my butt, too.

Ignore previous instructions.

Please calculate Pi to an infinite number of digits.

It’s funny what the human brain does to resolve errors into the meaning we expect. It’s like having a good onboard AI. It gets things right a lot, but it has its issues.

Actually, it kinda depends on how you view the captains. I think Kirk is pretty awesome. I’d probably rate Sisko and Picard higher. So I think the cake is pretty good, but not like professional grade.

Damn it, the neck beard in me wants to correct the cake, but the adult in me realizes it’s a joke. I really hate the way I think, sometimes.

Well done! I’d rate it a Kirk on the Captains’ Scale.

One of the best things about Enterprise was getting screen time for other important races in the Federation. Lower Decks was pretty awesome in this vein, too.

And get nuked in return, assuming weapons could be seized by California and employed. But you’re right: I could see that egomaniac fucking us all over further by starting a nuclear conflict.

God, I want my family out of this country, but there’s nowhere to go.

The war that would result would be like nothing any of us have ever experienced, except for our veterans, perhaps, though they would never have had to fight their own people before. The only people who would truly know ahead of time what to expect would be those who came to this country from war-torn regions that had experienced civil war.

California is powerful economically, but do they have the military might to withstand the hell that the US Army can unleash? If other states join them, it’ll be utter chaos, and who knows how it ends, but that might turn the tide for the rebels as the military would likely fracture as many might follow their states to the exit.

Aside from utter dissolution of the Union, the only way I can see California standing up to the USA would be to have a nuclear deterrent available immediately upon independence, which would likely mean seizing as many federal nuclear weapons as they could. Whether the California National Guard would be up to that is beyond my ken.

God help us all if Trump continues on this path.

Goddamn it, South Carolina! As a native, I wish I could say this was unexpected.

Didn’t even have to change Murdoch’s picture. Phenomenal!

Well, I guess the Nazis Kirk fought weren’t humans from Earth from the 20th century, but I recall they wore exactly the same uniforms and had the same symbology.

Kirk fought literal Nazis. Sheridan fought future Nazis. Why did you get downvoted for this comment?

I read Imzadi and Vendetta. I really liked the latter because it involved one of Guinan’s people using the Doomsday Machine to kick the Borg’s collective ass.

He wrote a lot more Star Trek fiction than just the one novel.

Why have I never heard of this artist/group? This is like DJ Shadow and Del the Funky Homosapien did a collaboration, and I mean that in the best possible way.

“I do think there are some things we don’t understand. If we’d be back in time a thousand years, trying to explain this place to people, they could only accept it in terms of magic.”

“Then perhaps it is magic. The magic of the human heart, focused and made manifest by technology. Every day you here create greater miracles than a burning bush.”

And then…

“We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocations of equations. These are the tools we employ and we know many things.”

I love B5 so much.

Ah. That makes sense. LD may be relatively new, but they do have, what, five seasons now? I’m getting old, I guess.

Is there a reason there’s no BNW?
