That sounds a lot closer to a mission that the Ferengi Alliance would strive for…
I had thought that the assumetric arrowhead was specific to the Enterprise, and that other starships had different logos. I looked it up, and apparently there were a few cases of that in the Original Series, but the show’s braintrust decided otherwise and stuck with that branding in later episodes.
I have never in my life heard of “having one’s way with a woman” as meaning anything but rape. It only means one thing and that is rape.
I suspect that nobody has ever said that they had their way with a woman to mean that they replaced the car air filter against her will.
Yeah, at best he meant metaphorical rape, but that’s hardly better.
I’ll give the benefit of the doubt that somebody, somewhere may be able to find 1 counter-example, but that’s over there in “the exception that proves the rule” territory.
“What are you doing today Bob?”
“I donno, I waiting for NASA to return my calls.”
“Want to play 'Space Invaders?”
Dave McCormick, who wants to be Pennsylvania’s Stupid Republican Senator, xitted a story about MS-13 violence in Philadelphia. Turns out the story was about Philadelphia, Mississippi.
See post 7467. 
A thousand pardons. It’s tough to keep up with all the stupid.
Which is odd, because you wouldn’t think Republicans could run that fast.
Although Josh Hawley showed different on 1/6.
I’ve heard used as a euphemism for consensual sex as well. But always sex.
Yes - there is often a strong overtone of at least coercion, but I think some of that is a modern gloss on a time when women were expected to resist, similar to people reading “Baby It’s Cold Outside” as date rape/roofieing, when in the context of the times it’s a woman who is willing but must ‘protest too much’ to defend her honor.
And like Dr. Oz this one is also alleged to not even live there.
(OTOH I can only imagine the number of politicians who every time they see a headline about a “Springfield” have to dig through the story to see if it’s about theirs. I bet they don’t assume.)
I was once talking online with a person who, unbeknownst to me, lived in Thessaloniki, Greece. They were quite interested when I mentioned that I lived in Olympia, and some confused conversation ensued between the both of us before I realized they were in Greece and I was in America, and that I was talking about the capital of the state of Washington and not the small town built on the site of the ancient city the Olympic Games are named for.
Do you like pointless random facts? Of all the capital cities in the fifty states, Olympia is the lowest-ranked within its state in terms of population. There are 22 cities in Washington larger than Olympia.
So Trump posted the following over on TS:
Apart from the general ridiculousness of it, there’s bonus comedy content for putting Elon’s head on the black guy and making the whale decapitator Aquaman.
Oh, his followers are something else again. No kind of art they won’t use. And while we’re on the subject of art, here’s the latest from Trump-favoring artist and sycophant Jon MacNaughton:
Notice the lack of Secret Service agents, as were shown in the photos of the actual event.
And then there’s this, which McNaughton describes as, “Over 100 figures depict the modern story of America’s mayhem. Do you agree? Not only is our country spiraling into madness, but I’m also enraged at how our government has subverted our rights and endangered our safety in the name of political power and leftist ideology.” Well, do you agree? See here:
'Nuff said for now.
Actually, I’m amazed at how fast McNaughton can pump these out. I knew a commercial illustrator; he was a friend of our family, and he could put things out on the double-quick, so I shouldn’t be surprised. But this kind of detail shows some kind of dedication beyond just a commission to do the cover of a Harlequin romance or a Chevrolet advertisement.
I like the inclusion of the CHUD.
I can’t see the image, which is blocked.
Lucky you.
Okay, I give up. Where’s Waldo?
