He hasn't looked deeply into Robert F Kennedy Jr then... both would be absolute disasters.
You can go to that magazine, and over on the right side you can click the block button. It should be right next to Subscribe. I've done this for a lot of communities that are in languages I cannot read.
Yes, apparently firing was 'enough' /s

I will admit that I rather liked the subreddit distinction between 'scifi' and 'printsf'. My interest is almost wholly in books. Reiterating what the best SF movies of the last month/year/decade/century isn't really anything I'm interested in. I probably saw it. On the flip side, the 1000th recommendation of why Dune is amazing is also pretty old. I realize I'm coming at this after being an enthusiast for a long time and I don't want to deny anyone their entry point into the genre, so we need a balance of ideas.
I guess that's a long way from a recommendation of what to do. A currently reading weekly thread might be good though. I do like finding new authors -- new to authoring and older-but-new-to-me -- and maybe that would be a good way to get some traffic going. Could split it into a separate weekly "what are you seeing?" kind of thread too for those who are finding or revisiting shows on video.
As I said in another post, I believe Justice Roberts is trying to haul the reins back from the stampeding conservafascists. Not that his own tendencies don't lie that way, but he's widely reported as caring about his legacy, and right now the reputation of SCOTUS for corruption and poor decisions seems to me to be at an all time high. (That is to say, I'm not a deep SCOTUS scholar, just an observer -- there might be a time when the organization was worse.)
I honestly don't know. Nothing Alito or Thomas has said recently has made any sort of logical or philosophical sense. I think Roberts is trying to preserve some semblance of legacy of unbias with the current court reputation which is why I think he's sided the past few cases where he has.
I have a few:
- Babylon 5 : The opening monologue and music score was amazing every time. Definitely an older vibe with this one with flashing images of the cast up as it progressed, but it was very good.
- Westworld Season 1 : I think it was mainly the same for later seasons with slight variations. The simple piano tune building for the whole intro was beautiful and while watching back to back would absolutely let it run maybe every other episode, or every third.
- Eureka Season 1 : The score by Mothersbaugh and quirky art is really fun and conveys the definite style of the show.
It was, in fact, hilarious.
That's the same sensation I found with leaving Twitter and joining Mastodon. I found that I was more inclined to engage rather than simply read information, and it was more straightforward to curate the information and people I wanted to follow.
They're trying to recycle that old Vince Foster conspiracy from the Clinton era. These folks are not very creative liars though admittedly their base doesn't really demand high quality misinformation.
Yeah, I thought unmask
was a poor choice there as well. Underscores
might have been better.
I think that's basically the argument that just puts blinders on and assumes everything is perfect and why pretend otherwise. A comment I've read that I think has some merit is that they didn't put an end to legacy admissions, bias for donors, employee families, and other special recommendations. These are all systems that favor class and are predominantly white. So why did the justices pretend that admissions are all based around merit and achievement when they are not?
If more were being done about the systemic causes, then I think there would be less frustration with this decision. Since we clearly have quite a long way to go on the systemic issues, this ruling is pretty naive in my view.
