Florida is going to be so pissed at TST for getting all this PR and fund raising while adding to their impressive list of accomplishments listed below:

A lot of the articles in the earlier link have links within to additional sources many of them are links to court documents but some are needs stories like this one. https://www.newsweek.com/orgies-harassment-fraud-satanic-temple-rocked-accusations-lawsuit-1644042 obviously Newsweek isn’t great but I’m on Mobile atm and it’s the first one I found, I’m sure you can find more and from better sources in their article or a search and a lil time
Because TST is shit and can’t follow through on their promises and use the courts to go after dissenters.
Plenty of reading at https://queersatanic.com/articles/ but a pattern becomes visible pretty quickly.
City officials said they will continue to monitor the situation.
Great, that’s helpful. /s
That was one of my favorite features of the Nexus one. Didn’t really need the track ball but being able to customize the color of notification light (I forget if that needed root or not) based on app was great. I’m guessing it must have been persistent blinking otherwise my current edge lighting notification would scratch the same itch, couldn’t be just nostalgia on my part…
Thanks for the link! Incredible
I’m going to need some reminding
Yay more ragebait from Washington Post editorial/opinion pieces!
I really need to watch the sequels, if they’re anything like the original it’ll be worth it to me.
Sam Zell was doing the same shit in the '00s (and still is) and even in the same area https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2007-05-27-0705260052-story.html this one ended up with my grandmother losing her retirement plans she financing.
There’s always scams and they often target those most vulnerable who can’t fight back. You’d think there should be some protections or safety nets but gods of capitalism require blood sacrifices
Was is ever not completely under capitalism? As far as I’ve seen they were always fully going with hype over substance posturing

partially sarcastic, Tasha Yar as a character had big potential and was intended to be cooler but they started off on the wrong foot, never corrected, and never developed her.
The wikipedia rabbit hole for Tasha Yar and her actor Denise Crosby is an interesting one. Some of the creators thought she was the most interesting character in the “show bible” so maybe it was the episode writers that missed the message and gave her such empty stories and flubbed what could have been a cool character. Either way it would have been interesting to see a woman in the role of chief of security and another big leap in the progressiveness of star trek.
TOS had post cold war russians, and showed that black people are part of the future. Aside from briefly having a woman in charge of security I can’t think of any progressive traits on TNG other than negotiating and 1st contact (are Picard’s bag and) better that fighting. Don’t get me wrong through I still hold a special place for TNG, just finished a rewatch not too long ago, but on second-ish watch, with the rose tinted glasses off, it is disappointing they had an opportunity to make a statement about a brighter, freer, more equitable future but ended up going with rape gangs and forced marriage (oh and fucking Data) instead.
So yeah the character ended up weak but was originally intended to be a bad ass. missed opportunity for something cooler and bigger.
That’s literally Tasha’s shitty/lazy backstory, grew up orphan style on a busted ass plant, hiding from all the rape gangs that were running round. I forget which episodes she mentions it in but there’s a surprisingly few references to it: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Rape_gang https://memorydelta.fandom.com/wiki/Natasha_Yar [1) ctrl+F Rape 2) say “damn, wtf!”]
Wait wait wait, are you trying to say that a character whose first big episode s1e4 saw them, as the head of security, get kidnapped for a forced marriage and had a character background of [checks notes] planet of rape gangs wasn’t enough of a character?
Early TNG wasn’t great, not surprising Denise Crosby asked to be released from her contract early. Fully agree they did her dirty with that death story but glad they still brought her back a few times
Pure enshittification, squeezing both sides. I had no idea on this part but that would explain a lot, fuckin wild
Here’s how that worked: when you ran a query like “children’s clothing,” Google secretly appended the brand name of a kids’ clothing manufacturer to the query. This, in turn, triggered a ton of ads – because rival brands will have bought ads against their competitors’ name (like Pepsi buying ads that are shown over queries for Coke).
Here we see surpluses being taken away from both end-users and business customers – that is, searchers and advertisers. For searchers, it doesn’t matter how much you refine your query, you’re still going to get crummy search results because there’s an unkillable, hidden search term stuck to your query, like a piece of shit that Google keeps sticking to the sole of your shoe.
But for advertisers, this is also a scam. They’re paying to be matched to users who search on a brand name, and you didn’t search on that brand name. It’s especially bad for the company whose name has been appended to your search, because Google has a protection racket where the company that matches your search has to pay extra in order to show up overtop of rivals who are worse matches. Both the matching company and those rivals have given Google a credit-card that Google gets to bill every time a user searches on the company’s name, and Google is just running fraudulent charges through those cards.
That’s really fucked up, hopefully he’s not a teacher anymore
