Could they not have found a pun for fox?

Shouldn’t Church and State doctrine (or whatever it is called) immediately make all of this illegal?

Unrelated but that movie was disappointing. But I’m also someone who didn’t like Army of Darkness.

Is she confusing Democrats with Drakken from Kim Possible? Secondly, he used that machine to control Canada. So jokes on her.

You wanna be Bella Swan, the teenage girl with depersonalisation disorder or Edward Cullen, the predatory 104 year old vampire?

The vampires in Twilight are described as have unique powers. Edward is a mind reader.

  1. He is attracted to a teenager whom he tries to stay away from at all times.
  2. Bella has no thoughts. Edward is never able to sense a single thought from her.
  3. Midnight Sun, the latest book, is set during the first book, which is about Edward’s period which he ran away from Forks, Washington (the setting).
  4. Are you sure you want something associated with 50 Shades of Grey? That book series is Twilight fan fiction. Even the movie adaptation of the first book goes as far as to copy fscenes from the first Twilight movie.
  5. Oh and one of the characters is a werewolf who is supernaturally destined to fall in love with Bella’s unborn child.

EDIT: I have thoughts about Twilight, none of them good.

If you actually believed that, then wouldn’t you give up on an illegal third term?

Don’t worry. It’s nothing serious anyways. There is a band named Hopesfall. I thought it was dumb so I came up with that.

I have never actually read The Onion, I just like seeing their headlines.

I would immediately cite anti-LGBTQIA+ sentimentality as the contributing factor. While lots of people understand that homosexuals aren’t the only people who can contract the infection, I’m sure the treatments being aimed primarily at homosexuals as the highest risk group, will make certain people unwilling to believe it is a potential risk.

It sucks that safe sex isn’t a thing being discussed. However it does feel like anti-abortion laws would be unnecessary if teens had access to sought information. I’m sure with the advent of Internet based pornography, teens are being influenced more by that with no educational tools to say that people in pornography (I am sure not everyone across the industry follows health guidelines but for the “professionals” you’d hope they do) have access to testing and other health related care.

If we are going to be cynical about this, one reason I suspect sex education is no longer being thought would be to fall inline with twisted alt-right/conservative values about women NEEDING to have children. With lack of information about contraception, teens might believe they can’t be safe. Maybe they actually have access to contraception but aren’t aware. Maybe contraception is being banned. If you have no contraception, then the rate of pregnancy will increase and maybe those anti-abortion lawmakers wish to see more unwanted pregnancies instead of anyone wishing to engage in recreational sex that doesn’t aim for procreation.

I guess none of you noticed the editorial board has a signature from Ted Kaczynski, aka Unabomber.

I’ve been rewatching Steven Universe. This reminds me of the corrupted gem monsters.

There is a Tabletop episode for Star Trek Catan which has his son Ryan and Jeri Ryan as the guest. Had to mention that.

 

Got a Blue Dream pod. This was much stronger than I expected.

 

Here is me at Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Hilton. This was 1997 (spring or summer). I got to go on The Klingon Encounter (which may have been the only ride-type attraction at the time). The line to enter was lined with status of Borg (First Contact had just come out the previous November).

This is a memory that I hold dear. It made a huge impact on me. Getting to see a recreation of the Enterprise-D bridge, go on a turbolift, use a transporter (just a rotating wall and lights) and the shuttlecraft (think Star Tours) was so awesome. My mom remembers when we were on the transporter pad, having her hand on my chest and feeling my heart rate increase.

The whole attraction was a mix of video featuring TNG cast and live actors.
