krtbluesky.bsky.social @krtbluesky.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I'm 3/4 of the way through my first Star Trek watch project and I'm still gobsmacked at what a singularly bad episode this was. 010
krtbluesky.bsky.social @krtbluesky.bsky.social · 12/08/2026He's asking about possibly publicly posting that a photo she posted is 'cute'. If that is considered sex pest behavior, it's impossible to imagine what kind of flirting would be considered ok. 310
krtbluesky.bsky.social @krtbluesky.bsky.social · 12/08/20260. But at the age of 23, it wouldn't be unusual for someone to be attracted to an 18 yo, and based on looks alone you can't tell if they're 18 or younger. So checking in that context seems fine, AFAIK there are no other examples that indicate a pattern of bade behavior. 410
krtbluesky.bsky.social @krtbluesky.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I'm not sure how this qualifies as "sex pest." He checked to see if the person was underage, when they said they were 16, he immediately backed off. 800
krtbluesky.bsky.social @krtbluesky.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Yes! Who are these people? Males me wonder if Hilary was right about the basket of deplorables. 160
krtbluesky.bsky.social @krtbluesky.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I think that today it is possible for people to form independent media organizations like the Bulwark that are free from dominance by a party. And I think they would be very surprised to here that they are not in exile, because they have lost many friends over their commitment to democracy. 100
krtbluesky.bsky.social @krtbluesky.bsky.social · 10/08/2026This argument, that there was no takeover of the Republican party, because at bottom there is nothing to distinguish Jeb Bush from Donald Trump, is I think a night where all cows are brown. Come on. I would trade 2 terms of Jeb for 2 terms of Trump any day of the week. 000
krtbluesky.bsky.social @krtbluesky.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Well I think their offerings should be considered on their merits, not dismissed out of hand. Sarah Longwell's offerings for strategic communications are based on extensive focus group research which as far as I know is not being done by anyone on the left. 000
krtbluesky.bsky.social @krtbluesky.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Well for instance they often bring up Reagan's final speech which is very pro immigrant. So there is a contrast there -- one can see how the party has moved towards nativism away from something that was much more pluralistic. 000
krtbluesky.bsky.social @krtbluesky.bsky.social · 10/08/2026"Loudly speaking against the entire Republican Party" is exactly what I hear every day on the Bulwark. Give it a listen. Of course, as political operatives, they consider politics the art of the possible, so they don't spend much time critiquing the deeper and more intractable conditions. 000
krtbluesky.bsky.social @krtbluesky.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Tim Miller, Sarah Longwell, Bill Kristol, Charlie Sykes have been Never Trump since the golden escalator. 100
krtbluesky.bsky.social @krtbluesky.bsky.social · 08/08/2026If they were successful in a party that was racist all along that would be a better credential? 100
krtbluesky.bsky.social @krtbluesky.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I guarantee you Tim Miller could have made much more money if he had let himself be bought off by Rs. 100
krtbluesky.bsky.social @krtbluesky.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Counterpoint they bravely defied their own party and went into exile to be harshed on by practically everyone because they care about democracy. 100

krtbluesky.bsky.social @krtbluesky.bsky.social · 04/05/2026I suppose we have to prepare ourselves for the day when the last Star Trek episode or movie airs. We won't even know when it is. And it will likely be an abrupt ending to a series that gets canceled. 🤷♂️ 021
