I told myself I liked SGU. Then I rewatched it a few years ago. It didn’t age well. Eli is basically the only likeable character. Why do I care what happened to Rush or the others? They were all assholes. I doubt I’ll give it another go, even though I’ll rewatch SG-1 and Atlantis eventually. A shame. It had good ideas, and the looks back at what was going on on Earth were cool, but you have to like (or love to hate) the characters to make a TV show work. I didn’t enjoy Rush or Young as antagonists, they were just dicks.

Holy shit, Troy Baker is doing an incredible Harrison Ford impression...

I'm dubious on the first person stuff, especially since they seem to have put a lot of work into recreating Ford's likeness. But I was dubious about Cyberpunk too, and that turned out OK, so what do I know?

Cautiously optimistic.

Fuck sparrows. I’d swipe right.

With a tennis racquet?

I am in this picture and I really don’t like it…

I mean, anyone that agrees with statements like “poisoning the blood” will assume every brown person is an illegal immigrant (with very very few exceptions who will be described as ‘one of the good ones’).

Because they’re a racist shithead.

Pretty sure the army wouldn’t approve of you wearing your dress uniform over a fursuit either…

Of course, if it doesn't happen, that's simply more proof that we're actually living in the mirror universe (AKA 'the worst timeline')

I mean Star Trek is not much better

What was it like before Disco came out? I know not everyone loved Enterprise, but was there always such a degree of animosity? I always thought Trekkies were generally pretty chill, especially compared to some of the assholes in the Star Wars fandom...

A few quotes from the article, for anyone looking at the headline asking "what does that mean?"

China had called the poll a choice between war and peace. Beijing strongly opposes [Ruling-party candidate] Lai

While domestic issues such as the sluggish economy and expensive housing also featured prominently in the campaign, Lai’s Democratic Progressive Party’s appeal to self-determination, social justice and rejection of China’s threats ultimately won out. It’s the first time a single party has led Taiwan for three consecutive four-year presidential terms since the first open presidential election in 1996.

Lai and incumbent President Tsai Ing-wen reject China’s sovereignty claims over Taiwan, a former Japanese colony that split from the Chinese mainland amid civil war in 1949. They have, however, offered to speak with Beijing, which has repeatedly refused to hold talks and called them separatists.

How can anyone put their name to that and still look themselves in the mirror in the morning? Jesus christ, that's ghoulish.

And then finishing it off with Uhuru fangirling over Hoshi Sato. Loved it!

But if it’s true, then we only have a 25% margin on food (10/8), and to my engineering mind that’s not enough. We gotta pump those numbers up.

Or, and I'm just spitballing here, we should make sure everyone gets enough food first, then work on increasing production. What's the point in getting to a 50% or even a 100% margin on excess food production if people are still starving to death because we can't get it to them?
