the title seems to say the opposite of the content of the article; they’re going to re-review it, without expanding upon why and citing a technicality that has the potential to reverse the warrants given the new makeup of the court.

are people going to continue to insist of “rules based order” once the icc revokes the arrest warrant in a clear case of genocide because of a technicality?

i don’t blame her; we can only imagine what sorts of probe-ulators that such an advanced species could have. lol

Star Trek is very much a product of Hollywood despite it’s aspirational content and subject to the same profit driven motives that demand perpetual growth; in the past, it was berman that Hollywood believed could increase Star Trek’s growth and now it’s kurtzman, for better or worse.

I intend to watch either way (just not right away if it’s seems in poor taste) and in the hopes that the clearly better talent, matalas, has a chance to shine like the last time the clearly better talent did during the previous tenure did, w behr and deep space nine.

it’s not about brand loyalty; it’s about wanting to believe in and enjoy story telling that take place an egalitarian and just future for humanity.

i got to witness, first hand, as parts of the fandom shut itself off to various iterations of the series because of the updates it has gone through throughout the decades and i felt sorry for them as they missed out on new story telling because of it; robbing themselves of the experience.

i’m determined not to become ossified like them as i go through middle age and i know that even really bad star trek stories, like the 5th movie, have exceptional and worthwhile nuggets of story telling or character development within them.

it was almost par for the course; the difference is that the other personal development episodes didn’t re-enforce an clearly discriminatory social hierarchy like this one did.

the phoenix metro area is; not so much the rest of arizona

i’m so glad i left that shithole

i know that this type of sexual behavior is described on the kinsey scale since i’m op’s exact opposite; but the verbose justification where kinsey was more succinct has my-lady-doth-protest-too-much energy, but with a dash of transphobia.

this is one of those episodes of trek where you’re left wondering if you actually watched star trek at all; trip was right, that being was clearly, forcefully subjugated and archer was wrong for chastising trip for helping.

later on in enterprise’s run, when the maco’s were portrayed as good guys and the cartoonishly evil reptilian and insectoid xindi’s became a thing, it became clear that 9/11 had an impact on enterprise and i that’s when i took a break from star trek.

i’ve taking the same break from the new section 31 movie and for similar reasons. i’ll still watch it like i watched the rest of enterprise years later; it’s just that it’s so clearly anti-humanist and filled with american jingoism that it’s hard to accept that has anything to do with star trek.

like covid; i would expect a lot of useless cheerleading from democrats and liberals and i’ve-got-mine-fuck-you’s from republicans and conservatives. and, also just like covid, 3 years later, we’ll suffer from selective amnesia about it while voting in the next election.

i wonder then if their inclusion into american’s grade schoolers’ reading lists is indicative of anything.

i mean it’s clear that it supports america capitalist/imperial perspectives, but other titles that “american patriots” label as subverse and try to ban over and over again like “i know why the caged bird sings” and “catcher in the rye” are on those same reading lists as well.

it’s like our education & welfare systems have been intentionally defunded for decades to keep us in line with our ruling classes’ desires and make us buy into silly groupthink ideas like american exceptionalism; but, of course, that’s the not true since that can only happen in oligarchies like russia or china and, also, could never happen to us, the greatest country that the world has ever seen. /s

I wonder how to reconcile Orwell’s warnings in 1984 & animal farm considering that m/l theory is seemingly being proved right in slow motion since Reagan/Nixon and the trickle of CIA secrets over the decades.

Was he prophetic or just another well spoken liberal?

You’re giving your support to a party that has already demonstrated that they will ensure that those people will have no say in the process.

I never thought of it as powerful before and I like it! Lol

I used to be on .world also but left partially because of the points you’ve made and switching to .ml has been MUCH better for me.

I’ve been moving from one social media platform to another, since the time of icq & bbs, every time it enshitifies and it’s clear that happens once it becomes centralized enough and w significant financial backing.

.world and .ee are the closest things to that, that exists on the lemmyverse and I hope that they don’t go down the same path.

my first linux distribution was mandrake and i’m glad to see that it’s still going.

what we’re seeing right now is an imperialism boomerang and you’re significantly more complicit if you continue to give your support to either party.

that lesser evil is doing nothing to prevent concentration camps and democrats are working to ensure that progressives are shut out. giving the democrats your support is not only not achieving these goals, it’s actively working against them; so a different strategy is needed.

the only irrational thing is repeating the same actions that brought us here.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.
