Would be interesting to have a series that focused on a private haulage ship with a mixed crew, so you'd get a completely different view of the Federation

I've already booked to see it (a friend of mine is a big MCU fan so I take him along to every release because even if I don't enjoy it, he will.) but the shots from the trailers look muddy and unexcited and I'm expecting a fair amount of AI slop.

trying to think of films / tv shows where one of the characters claims to be from a higher level of reality (i.e. if we live in a simulation, they're one of the players/programmers/etc.) It's different from a reveal (like in Existenz) #filmsky

We actually have a well known comedian here who has been exposed as peeing in bottles in the Green Room and leaving them for the cleaning staff to pick up. For some reason our national broadcaster still gives him work.

Panel 2: A tweet from John Cleese that reads “This is where the Arabs were ahead of us

By castrating all their slaves, they made sure that there were no descendants who could claim reparations”

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Scratchy drawing of a two panel comic.

A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:
Titled “How robots will actually kill us”
A MediBot is injecting something into a humans arm. The bot says “Whooops. I injected you with cancer instead of insulin. That’s on me”
