Trump sues CBS News for $10bn, claiming Kamala Harris interview was edited
  • I skimmed the complaint. It's (obviously) utter nonsense that will be dismissed with prejudice. But if not, then I look forward to joining the class action against Fox News, et al.

    What piece of media would you like adapted to another?
  • I want Roland Emmerich to make a movie out of the short story A Pail of Air.

    tl;dr/spoiler: ~20 years ago, a black hole passed through the solar system and captured the Earth, dragging it inexorably away from the Sun. This causes great earthquakes, tsunami, and other immediate civilization-ending catastrophes, but the real disaster comes when the atmosphere freezes and falls like snow to the ground. The original story follows a young boy born after the cataclysm whose chores include collecting buckets of frozen air.

    I'm a reasonably well educated human living on Earth. What's to stop me from replicating starship parts until I can make my own Starfleet?
  • Your replicator is probably too small to replicate larger components, which would be a major inconvenience at best or a showstopper at worst. And industrial replicators are even harder to come by than starships.

    Then there's getting access to the replicator patterns for sensitive or dangerous components. Dilithium chambers, weapons, Mercassium composite for shield generators, etc. are classified by Starfleet.

    Then there are substances that can't be replicated, such as verterium cortenide for the warp coils. I don't think it's explicitly stated that VC can't be replicated, but we know that Voyager had to find some to refit their warp coils, they couldn't just replicate it. Also dilithium.

    And finally, there's antimatter. Building a starship won't do you much good if you don't have gas for the tank. Antimatter does not occur in large quantities in nature, and probably can't be replicated (or at least not safely.) So you'd need some sort of industrial base to produce it, further complicating your plans.

    US can’t ban TikTok for security reasons while ignoring Temu, other apps, TikTok argues
  • If social media companies exist to collect massive troves of personal info from users--and they do--then there is a valid national security concern over social media controlled by an adversary. This is distinct from the individual privacy concerns towards domestically-controlled social media.

  • An elderly Catholic priest dies one night peacefully in his sleep after a long life of serving God, and finds himself standing at the pearly gates.

    "You were such a pious and holy man in life," began St. Peter, "that as a reward you can make one request of me before leaving behind your worldly cares and entering heaven."

    "Well," says the priest, "I'd like to read the original manuscript of the Bible."

    Even more impressed now than before, St. Peter grants the request and takes the priest to God's own private library, before leaving him to his studies.

    Shortly afterward, the priest lets out an unholy shriek. St. Peter rushes into the library and asks, "what is it? What's wrong?!"

    And through gritted teeth and streams of tears the priest cried out: "Celebrate! It says celebrate, not celibate!"
