Oh, so I should get a positronic brain?

Ironically I saw this ad last night.

I feel like as a 90s kid, someone old enough to remember and understand 9/11, anti-Muslim sentiment has been around a long time. That doesn’t surprise me regarding this.

EDIT: As a Filipino, I grew up hearing a particular flavor of anti-Muslim prejudice. A great grandmother would tell people that [insert censored comment], an outrageously offensive thing that was made up. A aunt would just generalize that certain parts of Philippines were not safe to travel due to Abu Sayyaf, an Islamist terror group.

I am Filipino. A cousin of min, who’s Jewish on his father’s side, decided to have a bat Mitzvah last year. Proud of the kid but I wonder if he has been exposed to actual hate speech behavior that was misdirected at the Jewish people because of the war.

Disliking the actions of the Israeli government is not the same as hating Jewish people. At some point people just started to agree with anything that wasn’t in favor of the Israeli state as being antisemitism. It is alarming how we’ve turned the actual hatred of Jewish people into an issue that isn’t about people actually hating them for their faith practices.

The oppressed have become the oppressors. That is not good.

Well I failed. No daily alcohol, rarely play games and my step count is clearly higher.

I had a comment about Calvinball I was going to make… but I can’t recall the topic of the article I read years ago anymore that mentioned it.

🤦‍♂️ Biological sex.

All genders?

These really should be called sex reveals.

But how did you get a coconut in Europe?

Well if he is dead… he can’t have one.

Trantiveness is me.

Um… aren’t age ratings supposed to restrict sales in the first place?

You were describing the plot of “Caretaker”, the pilot of Star Trek: Voyager.

An alien abducts ships from one part of the galaxy to this side of the galaxy. Why? Because they are dying and are looking for a compatible mate. Unable to do so, they destroy the device that brought them there (at the wish of The Caretaker) to protect another alien species. So they get stranded 30,000 light years from Earth.

But you are incompatible and now stuck 30,000 light years from Earth.

I hope you are deaf.

I never imagined I’d be meeting the man who invented the warp drive.

Me: But it isn’t April 5, 2063.

The Killers- “Mr. Brightside” and “Miss Atomic Bomb”

It may not seem obvious but “Miss Atomic Bomb” is intentionally a sequel. The music video even tells a story that is a continuation of the “Mr. Brightside” video, with Izabella Miko and Eric Roberts reprising their roles.
