*Sigh* Yeah, because I'm totally La Maupin or Katie who gets pissed off at every single little comment on the Colbert report. No, that comment seemed... Contextlessly shallow, Broomstick, because I am not the one doing it, though certainly I am defending it. Thank you so much for this lovely exampl...

*chuckles*

Bravo, sir.

Well, I don't think that it was incredibly offensive (though in poor taste) either, but I'm being all devil's advocaty here Well then, make a positive argument then. , seeing as this turned quickly into "pile on La Maupin". So why do you feel the need to argue with me, seeing as how I was...

Let's see... Some cissexual men think I'm being overblown, irrational and florid. Transsexual women think I'm hitting the nail right on the head (hint: this is not the first place I've posted this). Hmm, who should I trust? Who on EARTH's judgment should I consider more valid over whether the idea t...

I dont think that what he said was a slight against transsexuals. I think it was making a convenient attack against Ann Coulter, in a way that would hurt her, because she loudly defends positions that are typically held by male ultra conservative WASPS. To be frank, Ann Coulter is a homophobic miso...

Prejudice and bias are seldom expressed as book-length prejudicial and discriminatory screeds. Normally they are simply the small comments, the everyday actions that express bias against a particular group that one finds particularly unlike oneself. Nobody says "I hate the black people and here...

Their goal isn't just the recriminalization of same-sex marriage. Their goal is re criminalization of all LGBT people. Fixed that for you. ALL LGBT people. Trans people had not previously been criminalized, because medically-facilitated transition didn't exist before the early to mid 20th century -...

Their goal isn't just the recriminalization of same-sex marriage.

Their goal is criminalization of all LGBT people.

This was in my twitter feed today:

gendercrash Would like to see National LGBT orgs at least acknowledge that win in NH is bittersweet and commitment to work on passing trans equality

when minutes earlier Chekhov couldn't get a transport lock on a falling woman? Okay, tell me another one. Not accurate. He had the lock on Spock's mother. She fell out of the lock when the cliff collapsed in mid transport. And you can't really compare it to Kirk and Sulu's fall because Chekov had m...

You know what I liked about the Spock/Uhura relationship?

It was already going at the start of the "present day" part of the movie, and had been for quite a while - they weren't thrown together by Plot Bullshit.

I just read some of the "reviews" on the ex-astris-scientia site and I gotta say: The tears of the hardcore Trek nerds are like sweet, sweet nectar to me. "Why didn't Spock go back in time to save Vulcan?" Ummmm... maybe because he had just been given overwhelming proof that all ...

They moved the bridge. It just hit me. The bridge has *always* been on Deck One, centre, in the dome, but this Enterprise had the bridge embedded in the "collar" underneath the sensor dome, at the far-front edge. It even opened out into a corridor at the back. I noticed, and I personally ...

"paid administrative leave" pisses me off so much. For anybody who is not a police officer, murdering somebody would get you a free trip on the Pink Slip Express and a new home in a cell.

On the subject of BTAS, I recently saw 'Batman: Sub Zero', and it was a great movie. Good characterization, exploration of the Dick/Barbara romance, and it gave (in my opinion) a great end to Mr. Freeze's storyline. Nora even woke up at the end. Sub-Zero was delayed for several years because of a c...

The smiley limit was 10.

I wanted to do three rows in one post, but it wasn't allowed by the software.

So those were not UAW representatives in front of the Congress on my TeeVee, offering plans on C-Span? Or is this simply a talking point? From the link I posted earlier - Republicans, breaking sharply with President George W. Bush as his term draws to a close, refused to back federal aid for Detroi...

As I recall from my days as a Catholic, it would not be acceptable to vote for Obama because of his views on abortion. However, voting for Obama despite his views on abortion would not be a problem, so long as he was genuinely believed to be the better candidate. These priests are, AFAIK, full of s...

Please, by all means, submit some examples of modern day visual enhancement helmets that reduce the wearer's natural vision to a narrow horizontal slit. Please submit some examples of modern day visual enhancement helmets that do so while providing the same enhancements SciFi ones do. You have the ...

I tried watching an ST episode recently (TNG it was) and frankly I couldn't stomach all the goddamn goody-two shoes crap. Which episode? Honestly I can't remember, it was an early season episode I gathered, I picked one at random from a torrent site because I was feeling nostalgic. But it's not lik...

Bishop says something retarded. Millions of Catholics don't care. Film at 11.
