To be fair here, they're not saying they should read mass corporate slop.

The argument is that they shouldn't have to read *at all*.

If you know or encounter any disabled people who might be considering using AI to fill out their PIP claim paperwork, please do them a favour and pass on that this is NOT a good idea

Most of the rest look better in a sort of industrial machines-of-war sense. Generally the more humanoid a battlemech the worse it looks.

You don’t need to defend every decision Discovery made. The series does have flaws and missteps, and this is one of them.

The Lorca reference is one where he is compared to the Wright Brothers and Zefram Cochrane, visionary pioneers who revolutionised technology.

Specifically there’s Musk Junior High, and the β€˜be like the Wright Brothers, Elon Musk, or Zefram Cochrane’ line from Lorca.

I was a teenager when my grandfather developed a potentially fatal aneurysm and basically had his life saved. Having to pay for that treatment would have bankrupted our family.

Then we had my grandmother’s cancer.

I and many of my family members would be dead without the NHS. But what subsequent generations of ideological capture has done to it is heartbreaking.

You might have more likely heard of the MechWarrior games.

They were in fact fully licensed. Harmony Gold just had an earlier license for making Robotech and threw a fit over it. And since they’re basically The Actual Worst, I’m inclined to side with FASA.

The thing that gets me most about it is that Japan does just have straightforward superhero stories.

You’d think they would like DSC given its repeated positive references to Trump in the first two seasons.

i know it's a somewhat self-serving question but why is the government obsessed with where i pee when they should instead be busy helping to stop this?
