Last post by Sheilbh - Today at 04:36:31 AMNot only DEI but intersectional! I think the main reason they don't like Abbott is that she's on the hard left/in the opposing faction.
But the form that dislike takes intersects with and is structured by her race, gender and age into specifically quite nasty behaviour.

Last post by Zoupa - Today at 03:34:57 AMPoland and Romania are asking Ukraine to share their anti-drone tech. Ukraine is now being asked to close the skies over NATO.
Europe should pray that Ukraine wins this war, because the resentment towards the west is certainly building within the ZSU rank and file.

Last post by Josquius - Today at 03:24:11 AMI wonder what happened to the anti drone laser stuff.
I recall a year or two back that was testing very well. Seemed to finally give a use to weapon based lasers.
A no fly zone over Ukraine...
1: What about Ukrainian planes? They were talking of reopening Lviv. Plus the UAF of course.
2: I was thinking when the drones came over Poland a good approach could be a buffer over Western Ukraine. Wonder if calling for a whole Ukraine no fly zone is a first step towards this.

Last post by Crazy_Ivan80 - Today at 02:56:00 AMIt's not going to go anywhere now, but the call has been made.
So given time and as people get used to the idea it'll become more compelling and achievable

Last post by Josquius - Today at 01:41:58 AMYeah this is an annoying thing the far right just don't get.
You saw it all the time around brexit. This insistence 500 million foreigners were going to move to Britain any second....
They seem to have trouble thinking of other countries as places in their own right with their own ups and downs. The homeland is the only actual PC in their view.

Off the Record / Re: TV/Movies Megathread
Last post by Syt - Today at 01:07:04 AM3rd season of Foundation was messy with many plates to spin, but I did think it culminated in a decent conclusion (with some major changes to status quo). Not sure how I feel about the Mule twist. Would need to rewatch, I guess, if it all makes sense somewhat. I still appreciate the scale of things, but generally try not to pull too hard at the plot threads. It's definitely space OPERA - big, dramatic, pulpy, high stakes etc. I liked it a lot better than S2. But that might be a "me" thing - Season 2 had the mentalic hippy/cult commune. Between Star Wars Acolyte's Coven, or Byron's telepaths in Babylon 5 (or Joe Haldeman's Forever Peace) it's one of my least favorite tropes. I know, telepathic empathy leading to peaceful communes and all that, but I can't help but cringe at how it's often protrayed.
Season 4 has been confirmed, but David S. Goyer has left the show, and there will be a new writing team coming in. Also, apparently, lower budget. I read somewhere that Goyer's original treatment had 8 seasons planned, with off ramps in seasons 4 and 6.
The way S3 ended, I expect no big time skip this time (but who knows), and I guess a lot will depend on how the new team runs the series going forward. I sure am curious where this is headed (with the new reveals in the tail end of S3).
