The fan reaction from the Resident Evil movie is so baffling. I've never seen a fandom so upset they got a good adaption. Its like not Resident Evil enough for them and people are suddenly defending the Paul W. S. Anderson films. Some weird fandom terminally online behaviour, I'm afraid.

The appeal of Star Trek is (partly) that it let us examine who we wanted to be as a society. The Federation are the utopian society. The Klingon are militarists; The Ferengi, capitalist profiteers; The Andorian, paranoid xenophobes; The Borg, colonialist conquerors.

A composite of Star Trek alien species.  It has an Andorian woman, a Trill, a Cardassian, a Klingon, Bajoran, Betazed, Vulcan, and Rom, the Union Man.

Have seen this Nature piece about the effects of X's algorithm mentioned again and it bears repeating; exposure to a right wing algorithm makes you - measurably and predictably - more right wing, even after you stop using it. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

He can use whatever analogy he wants, Prime Minister Carney is the adult in the room. In the eyes of the world Trump and his entire administration are clowns and a national embarrassment. Canada has the upper hand in this fight and they know it. Our reputation precedes us….. as does theirs.

Most American have zero interest in the US government treating one of our most important historical allies and trading partners like this. But the worst among us is running the country, thanks to the worst and most irresponsible voters among us.
