underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.

happy sixty years of star trek. 🖖
what a strange and wonderful feeling to be a small part of the franchise. I grew up watching and re-watching our VHS tapes of TNG & DS9. and now I use my parents' Paramount+ account to watch those same episodes again and again.

*standing up on the plane* Star Trek: Deep Space Nine remains one of the best sci-fi shows because of its embrace of complicated characters, moral ambiguity under the surface of what others see as a utopian mission statement, and a standard twenty episode season giving the show a chance to breathe.
*standing up on the plane* okay so the first thing you need to consider when interrogating if Frodo and Sam from Lord of the Rings are an example of romantic love is to understand Tolkien's context; what did same sex love mean to an academic and a veteran of world war one in the middle of the 20th c
*standing up on the plane* ok you Protestant fucks prepare to get scared because I’m about to tell you what’s real. Hail Holy Queen our light our sweetness and our hopes.

Morocco’s rail system is very good this is lovely and correct
Where there’s a will there’s a way. Morocco built high speed rail faster & cheaper than what California is doing. Morocco didn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. It now has faster rail.
We can do this in California.

How Morocco wiped the floor with California in the game of high-speed rail
OPINION: California claims it doesn’t have enough money for high-speed rail, while Morocco built a 201-mile line across floodplains, requiring 286 engineering structures and 13 viaducts.

I’m aware this isn’t the most important question to ask on THE ODYSSEY’s press circuit, but I’m really disappointed that no entertainment reporters have asked known UK-comedy nerd Christopher Nolan who is favorite Taskmaster player is.

I felt it in 2012, and I still feel it more than a decade later: Dishonored is a generational game, one of the true all-time hall of famers. To this day it is exceptional on every possible front. We were very lucky to have had Arkane.
Raphael Colantonio, Harvey Smith and some of the creators of Dishonored have started a series of commentated playthroughs, 14 years after the release!
So I decided to try it on Steam Deck.
Dishonored was a huge emotional aid at a very difficult point in my life, and for that I’m forever grateful.

Really? I’m pretty sure it’s about 160 minutes…

Since 60 Minutes is effectively dead, maybe it's a good time to suggest watching one of the greatest movies you've probably never seen and it's about 60 Minutes.
