Ok, if you advertise a bra as “wire-free”, don’t then replace the wires with stabby plastic!!

The thing is, I would be willing to have “productive conversations” if we’re talking about e.g. medicine.

But I don’t think slop machines should be able to steal from artists and writers. I don’t WANT to watch films and read books that were splatted out of a slop machine’s anus.

Having conversations with men about romantic fiction really hammers home why the orgasm gap and male loneliness epidemics exist.

Good LORD can they stfu projecting and getting mad for 2 minutes and just FUCKING LISTEN???

They have the emotional intelligence of a brick.

It's really funny that Star Trek made the Ferengi, an entire species of loathsome misogynist capitalists that the show mocks constantly and right-wingers with those same beliefs are like "I love this era of Star Trek". It feels masochistic.

When the stylist takes “I want to wear some vintage Hugo Boss” too literally

Oh don’t tell me he DOESN’T KNOW.

Sorry I’m done giving these MFers the benefit of the doubt that they’re just idiots.

Palantir must be removed from the NHS

I also feel the same about sex addiction. Bullshit men made up to excuse their life choices.

Your wife married potential.

Your job is to realize it.

Every day.

For decades.

That's the commitment.

Honor it.

Birthday Rewatch of a Favorite:

Having a grilled cheese sandwich.

The sun just came out.

Listening to jazz on the AirPods.

And BOOM, now I have tears in my eyes for no discernible reason. I miss my dad. It's been two months.

This is what everyone talks about: grief being a glitter bomb that just goes off, huh.

Same

Been rewatching Star Trek Voyager and I think it's my favourite Star Trek.

I think it's the being stranded 70,000 light years from Earth that seals it.

I enjoy SNW, too, but not enough episodes.

and it both depresses & annoys me on several levels - 1) that by suggesting it were just telling women they can’t want monogamy b/c they should lower their expectations 2) it feels like letting men off the hook and giving them the casual bs they want and 3) it feels reductive to authentic polyamory

The more women I see choosing polyamory and talking about why, the more it feels like depressing cope because they haven’t got what they wanted from monogamy with men and they think that adding an extra man to do what one man should do, or adding a woman to pick up the man’s slack is the answer…

I just read a review of a movie, and it doesn't matter what it was for, but apparently SET UP AND PAY OFF is just "being predictable" and "things seem to happy because the plot needs them to" isn't just HOW MOVIES WORK.

One of the reasons Voyager’s ratings dropped is because Paramount marketed the show at the young male demographic then wrote an incredibly female gaze romance for Tom & B’Elanna and they wanted Seven of Nine dressed for the male gaze, not B’Elanna being sexy & men making EFFORT for the female gaze

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

May I ask what type of STEM conference you are at where you have a stall selling graphic novels? Literally never seen this at a STEM conference in 15 years of attending them.

I feel like maybe we aren’t talking about the same kind of event?

Do you mean like a sci-fi-type convention?

my favorite ships:

This feels oddly me-coded

And that’s very rockstar of me.

Probably because most stands at STEM conferences don’t charge for anything they have out and, unless there is a price on it or labelled as a stall copy, it’s usually free to take promo merch?

Never been to a STEM conference with sellers of merch ever. It’s just not a standard thing that happens.

Tbf, Musetta Vander had chemistry with a wall back in the 90’s, it was her entire job description for 90% of her roles back then.

Also, may I take a moment to appreciate the 2 mins of screentime Tom & B’Elanna get this episode that was spent indulging her being lowkey feral for Tom’s hands again?

Kinda hope he’s about to pop his clogs

Ethan Phillips as Neelix, Robert Beltran as Chakotay, Garrett Wang as Harry Kim, Jennifer Lien as Kes, Kate Mulgrew as Captain Kathryn Janeway, Robert Duncan McNeill as Tom Paris, Tim Russ as Tuvok, Robert Picardo as The Doctor, and Roxann Biggs-Dawson as B'Elanna Torres stand in front of the helm console on the Voyager bridge set in a publicity photo for STAR TREK: VOYAGER Season One. Tim Russ described the first days of shooting "Caretaker" as stressful, particularly in light of the firing of original Janeway actress Geneviève Bujold: "Those first days were like, 'I've got to get this scene right, I've got to make it play. The anxiety factor that was built into it for all of us was the fact that 'You've got the part,' but we also knew that in the first week of shooting, they're either going to tweak that performance or they're going to replace it. If anything was going to happen, it was going to happen in that first week. You weren't guaranteed until you got on film, someone saw you in dailies and gave you a thumbs-up. That's when you know you're home, so the anxiety factor had to do with that."

Women in the 24th century: “FINALLY a man I can’t out-man!” (Sorry Tom, not you, your man points are pretty high!)

“Be a man” is just the way men claim victimhood when what people really mean by that statement is “Grow up and behave like the adult you are”.
