Arthur Jones is a racist, denies the Holocaust happened, and will likely be the only Republican on the ballot for a Chicago-area congressional seat in November.

The state GOP has denounced Jones and his candidacy, but says it had no way to stop him.

“We’ve tried to do everything we possibly could to prevent this person from getting on the ballot,” Illinois GOP Chairman Tim Schneider said.

Can they not just tell anyone else to run against him? What do they mean they’ve “done everything [they] can,” have they done anything?

Here’s an article about a new episode of TNG written using a specially programmed predictive text. There’s a link in there to the entire thing too.

Fascinating and hilarious!

Just wondering, is nobody else reading this, or does nobody else think it’s funny?

I read it and enjoyed it a lot. I wish it were made into a real episode (or audio episode at least) with the real cast. I’m sure some of them would be on board if it was seriously offered to them.

The new Spock doesn’t work. He’s meant to be an emotionless Vulcan but actually translates onscreen to being a constantly grumpy and irritated dude. You also have no reason to believe he would become best friends with the new Kirk who is basically boiled down to being a jock flyboy who’s main thing is just to disobey every order.

TLDR: The new Star Trek movies minus Beyond (which is delightful) are dumb action movies with poorly written characters.

I disagree with all of this (Beyond is my least favorite) but also Han Solo thread.
