The Original Series: Adventure The Animated Series: I watched as a child but don't remember well enough to comment The Next Generation: Hopeful vision of the future Deep Space 9: Ongoing story lines and moral complexity Voyager: Didn't watch Enterprise: Didn't watch Discovery: Diversity and handling of emotional trauma Picard: Nostalgia Lower Decks: Humor while remaining Star Trek Prodigy: This one has lots of potential. It is extremely the cool that the entire crew is aliens. However, it trying to attract a younger audience it dumbs itself down somewhat. Kids are smart and that is unnecessary. Strange New Worlds: SNW does so many things well that is hard to pick one to settle on. Probably the best of the new Treks.

Yes, my high school was also a sinkhole filled with raw sewage. j/k

One peculiarity of GA heroes is that most will fall unconscious if you hit them over the back of head even if they are otherwise invulnerable to physical attacks.

Leopards Eat Kevin McCarthy's Face If you can't read the article, that is fine. The headline pretty much tells the whole story.

Yes, many Republicans will view it as a betrayal to vote for any Speaker who is being supported by the Democrats. However, the betrayal won't have the same sting if the vote is being cast for a respected Republican instead of a Democrat. As for the Democrats, they won't be happy to vote for a Republican but otherwise they will have no say at all in the next Speaker, so it is under the circumstances a win for them.

Centrist Republicans Don Bacon of Nebraska and Fred Upton of Utah have both expressed some interest in making a bid for the Speakers gavel if McCarthy proves unable to win it. For this to work they would need to secure the support of Democrats as well as moderate Republicans. Neither of these men would do anything to advance Biden's agenda, but they could be counted on handle basic governance and they would be able to completely ignore the desires of crazies on the red side of the aisle. So, IMHO, the Democrats would do well to take them up on their offer if either of them throws their hat into the ring.

It will likely take years to reach SCOTOS. That is if it ever does. However, being decided by a lesser court is still being decided by a court.

Paul is right. It is an executive action. If you look at the legislative tracker given by the your link, it list the bills status as being "Introduced". It hasn't even been voted on, much less passed by the House and the Senate. So, Biden may have used this bill as the template for his executive action, but that doesn't make it a law. As for whether or not the executive action is unconstitutional, that is for the courts to decide.

Gods this is terrible news. You might want to cross post it to the Explain This Comicbook Guys thread.

Yeah, I liked Stargirl too and thought the last season was surprisingly strong. I say surprisingly strong, because most CW shows are going badly down hill by their 3rd season.

It depends on your definition of common. A sizable majority of Americans have barely any awareness that a world outside of the US borders exist much less that our government might be heavily involved out there. Of those that are more political aware, maybe half are familiar with our nations history of meddling with other countries' internal politics and maybe a third of those see it as an ongoing problem. As for the impeachment in Peru, I would bet money that we had nothing to do with it. Peru just doesn't have or make anything that we care about enough to orchestrate a change of government over it.

Happy! Happy! Katie Hobbs Defeats Kari Lake To Become Governor Of Arizona

I went to see Black Panther: Wakanda Forever yesterday. Excellent performances by all involved and Ryan Coogler is a heck of a director. Even though the movie clocks in at over two and a half hours, it doesn't have a wasted minute (though on the dark side that does make finding a time to run to the restroom hard). However, the BP2 isn't one Marvel's action comedies, so if you go to MCU movies expecting to laugh this might not be the movie for you. I am curious to hear what a Namor fan thinks about it. They make some big changes to the character, but in other things they are surprisingly faithful to the original.

IANAL, but I think that hate crimes have to involve an attempt to terrorize or intimidate a protected group, and I don't think Democratic politicians qualify. The Squad as a group, AOC in particular and Pramila Jayapal have all had to face big helpings of Republican vitriol these last four years. However, you are right that no one has been as routinely demonized as Nancy Pelosi.

Well, race and/or sex swaps are pretty much par for the course with reincarnation.

The belief is that the lawyers are playing the long game. That a ruling against the ICWA would be a stepping stone on the way to rulings that would help their fossil fuel clients. It is deemed unconstitutional to make a law saying that only white people can adopt white children or only black people can adopt black children. However, it is perfectly constitutional to make a law saying that the children of foreign nationals living in the US in the event of the loss of the parents should be sent back to the nation of the their parent if it can safely be done and does not harm the children. Therefore, a ruling that the ICWA is unconstitutional is a legal precedent against the sovereign status of the tribes. Precedents like that are useful when you want to argue that you should be allowed to build a pipeline across a reservation or acquire drilling rights on federal land is considered part of a tribal nation.

Can you cite examples?

It is spelled "propagandize".

It is also canon that they fixed the platform so that she can't do that trick again. So, we don't have to worry about her making a habit out of it.

Where did you read that? It hasn't been officially announced, and Tatiana Maslany is saying that she does not know if there will be a second season. Though, until such time as a second season is officially announced she would say that even if she was aware of plans for a second season.

Please, we are at a Hero Games Forum. They rolled a bunch of sixes.

A Distracted Russia Is Losing Its Grip on Its Old Soviet Sphere tl;dr - Since invading Ukraine, Russia has been ignoring its role of providing security and stability to the Collective Security Treaty Organization. As a result, the other members are getting into armed conflicts with one another and experiencing internal unrest, leading to China and even the US inserting themselves into the security vacuum.

Because you can't always gauge the quality of a movie by its trailer, and people are telling you that it is worth watching?

I just finished watching Werewolf By Night. It is a lovely homage to those old Universal monster movies and big fun in its own right. 👍👍
