The Satanic Temple supports it’s trans members using the same basis as it’s stance on abortion. There are 7 fundamental tenets of Satanism. The third states that “One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.” and the fifth is “Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.” Based on these tenets it is the religious stance of TST that trans individuals have a fundamental religious right to decide what happens to their body and a religious obligation to reject unscientific claims and “treatments” with regard to their gender identity.
The effort is underway. Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic is a Satanic abortion clinic in New Mexico that offers teleheath consultations and medication abortion through the mail.

You are pursued across the world’s oceans by several navies while you try to figure out how to get out of the mess you created. (shipbuilder)
Sorority House Massacre 2 is one of my absolute favorite films. The final line in the film is my favorite in all of cinema.
After that I’m a big fan of Pam Grier and enjoy most of her movies but I think Coffy is my favorite.
Every Troma movie is worth watching. Toxie is a great superhero and we really need a crossover. Toxie should be in the Justice League, he’s already an Avenger! The Class of Nukem High movies are standouts but I think Surf Nazis Must Die is probably my favorite Troma movie.
Edit to add: Death Proof was good but I preferred Planet Terror. To be fair though I’ve never seen a movie by either Tarentio or Rodriguez that I didn’t enjoy.
Down Periscope
Got any interest in spoliation films?
Scream Blacula Scream Some regard this as the worst blaxploitation movie. Considering the genre consist primarily of low budget movies with very short filming schedules that’s a fairly damning indictment but I think it can be enjoyed for what it is if you have an interest in this type of cinema.
Once they use those F-16s to establish air dominance someone needs to give them a few A-10s to help them speed up retaking their territory.
The request would be made to the court during discovery and, if it was granted, the test would be done by an independent lab. The department could lose/destroy the evidence before it could be tested but that would likely prevent the evidence from being used at trail and it’s hard to prosecute someone for a drug offence if you can’t tell the jury that you found drugs. Ultimately it’s not a great plan anyway. If they didn’t find any finger prints then the prosecutor will find some “expert” to testify that drug dealers always wipe down their baggies and wear gloves, if they only find the officer’s finger prints then he’ll testify that he accidentally handled it without gloves while logging it into evidence.
If you’re interested in the worst of it you should look up firebombing and why it was so effective against Japan.
The Fat Electrician’s video was great but he I feel left out a couple of things that I think are important to add. First is that he used his influence in the Russian court to advocate for the end of the surf system. Slavery was his primary focus but he actively opposed all forms of indentured servitude and was involved in the freeing of more forced laborers than any other single individual in history. Also he negotiated the purchase of Alaska.
Second is Clay’s Battalion. When the Civil War began Washington DC was undefended and there was an order to evacuate because of fears that Virginia would get soldiers there before the Federal Army. Clay was in Washington to be appointed as the ambassador to Russia and, during the evacuation, he started grabbing men off the street to defend the capital. He organized about 300 defenders and occupied the White House and the Navy Yard until federal troops arrived to take over.
In American politics the “love it or leave it” trope you are using is undeniably right-wing rhetoric. It was first popularized in that form by McCarthy and Nixon as a response to civil rights and anti-Vietnam War protests. It has since been used by Reagan, both Bushes, and Trump primary in response to either protests or immigrants that they believe have not sufficiently assimilated into American culture. It’s also probably the most unAmerican trope currently used in American political discourse. Protest and criticism of government is fundamental to America’s history and identity and is covered by 3 of the freedoms guaranteed in the First Amendment.
Purely aesthetically I like light makeup. She doesn’t look best in light makeup though. We like hiking and most of our vacations are to various trails. She is at her most attractive after a difficult climb. She is a very strong climber and during the climb she has an amazing confidence. Right after she gets to the top and sees the view she gets this look of accomplishment and joy and it’s absolutely breathtaking. So she looks best sweaty, dirty, exhausted, and happy.
Starfleet Academy was very good. Bridge Commander was excellent. The Armada games and Domination War have already been mentioned but I’ll second them.
Is it bad that I get most of my non-local news from foreign sources? I do look at the AP and NPR but I usually go to the BBC or Reuters first and I almost always check the CSM for international stories I want more information on.
