You’d think Lancet retracting that famously fraudulent MMR study would have had a positive impact. Guess not.

But did one of their people give the literal Nazi salute?

Once again, the guy claiming to be on the side of Israel and the Jewish people, has a Nazi working for him. Irony? Not at all.

Jokes on them. I didn’t hear my alarm today.

Have you all read 1984? First they will make thing illegal. Then they will hide away what is illegal. After that someone will learn something was illegal. Once they are found out, that illegal thing will be completely changed so there is no evidence anything was illegal to begin with.

I would not be shocked if try to scrub these bans so users can’t see if a community was banned.

If they end up citing the famous Lancet paper, then you know they didn’t even try to make up new bullshit.

For anyone unaware, Lancet published a paper in 1998 that claimed there were links between the MMR vaccine and environmental triggers that lead to loss of acquired skills including language. The study being conducted turned out to be fraudulent, with parents of many of the children involved in lawsuits against the vaccine manufacturers, as well as unethical treatment of children. 12 years later in 2010, Lancet retracted the paper. This paper is a very well known source anti-vaccination proponents have frequently cited. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2831678/

EDIT: If you want to watch a video explaining the study, this here is a good one. https://youtu.be/i00SYBe63EQ

Blade Runner: The Final Cut. My favorite movie. If you watch the theatrical cut, shame on you. Seriously don’t do it. Sadly the sequel and related media are all connected to the theatrical cut. They fundamentally changed parts of the lore because of this. Secondly, The Final Cut is the canonical version.

The one thing in common: he filmed that last episode of Buffy and DS9 on the same week.

Didn’t you get killed by a giant snake?

You just reminded me of a joke from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. During the Ireland arc (“The Gangs Still in Ireland”, season 15 episode 6), Mac pursues an interest in becoming a Catholic priest. He ends up asking, in a vaguely worded question if it is okay to be gay. By the end, he basically nopes out when he realizes the priest was referring to relations with young boys.

Considering how closely associated this sect of Christendom is with FLDS, a cult, this isn’t a good image for them.

The guy calling for peace thinks it is okay for anyone to want to continue the violence. Fucking brilliant.

Jessica Huang from Fresh off the Boat TV series, said this in response to Honey quoting the movie. I totally feel the same way.

 

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.

 

My birthday was last week (May 17). Decided to get my first tattoo, which I wanted to be Trek related. As a kid my family had a VHS tape with a recording of “All Good Things…” (and for unknown reasons, “Caretaker”). So I have seen the episode a dozen times. It is my favorite episode of the franchise. The image I’m sharing shows the tattoo only three days old.
