As much as I despise His Orange Highness, he did not came to Venezuela impulsively, but spent months pressuring and negotiating Maduro's exit. Venezuelans are disgusted at having to be grateful to him and dissapointed that he removed Maduro to leave his cronies as puppets as "business".

Since the first time I watched it, I thougt "does history tell that Cochrane was accompanied by two unknown people in his first flight? And what about vulcans detecting the Phoenix and not the Enterprise?"
Also, wouldn't the lead scientist be too valuable to also be the test pilot?

MAGA rednecks screaming "socialism! Noooo!" in 3... 2... 1...

Thanks from us all who need/enjoy people as manically enthusiastic as you communicating ... everything, it seems. Even your "I don't knows".

Is it in fashion to be neo-luddite? Tablets are only the medium, like books, higher initial cost but allowing for thousands of books in one device (but with internet access blocked).
I can imagine people in the 15 century warning against books endangering verbally transmitted knowledge and stories.

Note taken to add it to my to do list. Right after "learn to code for android" 😉

Traditional reading is more enjoyable, but there is no denying that 60% of what I read is with my ears, books I wouldn't read otherwise in periods that would be mostly wasted.
Someone (me??) should make an app that combines ebook and abook reading, and keeps reading progress when switching.

Huge learning curve --> Huge satisfaction!

I am a man and I am indifferent towards sports in general.

You are wasting your time humanizing humans.

And his orange highness will order the VAB to be painted gold.

Well, I guess it all depends on the label's definition, in which we can disagree, despite that not being productive.

Sunday Exception:

Swan Perfect Landing

Yes, I have thought of this. A LOT, living in a fake-left country.
If one define left as "Marx follower", then yes: those mentioned are left, but their social behaviour matches the definition of fascism 100%
If one defines left as prioritizing social needs and inclusión, then marxists are NOT LEFT.

Yes. Quacks like a fascist, walks like a fascist, sounds like a fascist, looks like a fascist.
But call themselves "left"

The EXTREMISTS did, regardless of sides. Moreover, what self proclaims as left is usully fascism disguising itself behind "the people"

That's what a AI would say 😝

Science, education and healthcare. It should not need saying.

Difference is, if one turn a 9 hour story into 9 episodes, one has to edit in 8 narrative logical breaks (and the viewers can pause play and/or has a bathroom within earshot of the TV)

Fine things should be enjoyed as often as possible.
Not using them is like stay standing up to avoid wearing out the upholstery... which renders it effectively useless.

Another thing that Venezuela's Chávez used to do.
Ask the reporter's name and employer, writing them down with elaborate and menacing calm. Then accuse the reporter of being on the payroll of far-right terrorists, sometimes asking how much are they paying, and never answering the question.

That is something that should be easily standarizable. After all, F1 for help is standard, isn't it?

Every day he looks more like Venezuela's Chávez, who used to keep a chair at the table "so Simón Bolívar can sit", or Maduro, who used to say that he was convinced that Chávez spoke to him "in the form of a small bird". Add that to media control, multiple lies, frequent tantrums ...

You can't be more wrong, and you MUST know it.
I am by far not a fan of neither the USA or their orange highness, but the blame of cuban's ruined life falls completely on the cuban dictatorship, not on USA's dictatorship.

All I get is a message saying "Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from go.bsky.app ..." 😕

With repaired plumbing.

For me, the more ST, the better, on principle.
But I would be satisfied if SNW final episode (maybe a two-parter?) is about the events immediately after Pike's accident, Kirk assuming command and ends with Spock plotting the events of "The menagerie".
Not "Year one", but torch-passing "week one"

I used to watch GFR's reviews until I realized that most (all, now?) were "Why such-and-such failed", such-and-such being often masterpieces, far from failures.
I stopped following other channels for the same forced, biased, toxic criticism.

Sad thing is, ST fans fall for this hate fad because hating makes people feel morally superior. "This is different from what I like, so it's bad".
They don't realize the risk of not cancelling a particular show but the whole franchise, when producers give up and start making safer Teletubbies shows.
