A little dry, but interesting. I prefer a few more car chases, the occasional gunfight, a few gratuitous sex scenes, etc… just to keep it moving along and entertaining.

Hell, being Canadian, Kirk couldn't hit the floor with a gun if he dropped it.
He's actually an extremely intelligent man who simply says what he believes. As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing there to be concerned about. He's entitled to his opinions as am I and everyone else. The organization simply refuses to accept the fact that he doesn't want anyone telling him what to think & I think that's a pretty good philosophy to have. I would prefer to think for myself rather then have someone TELL me what to think.
Take the media for example. (please). The media is basically organizations with "group think" because they all come out at the same time, with the same wording with the same idea that someone (enter name here) is _____, They never come out with different conclusions - it's all the same. Why wouldn't people think there was "something is not right" about what is being said when they're all saying EXACTLY the same thing! They're not even hiding it.
In Canada, during the Stephen Harper years from 2006-2015 every decision made would be viewed through a lens of malevolent intent and right-wing hatred. Yet, it was not Harper, but Justin Trudeau who, in 2022, enacted the Emergencies Act and limited the expression rights of all Canadians when the Freedom Convoy wouldn’t leave Ottawa. While I continue to believe the protesters should have left after a few days and not dragged things out, the fact remains that the heavy-handed response to crush them came not from the Harper government we were told to fear, but rather the one which came to save us from them.
In Canada, we of course have the Online Harms Act, Bill-C63, which, if passed, would include penalties up to life in prison for violations.

In a world awash with bad actors and misinformation, the attempt to regulate content and to hold online media companies to some level of account is understandable. However, as Thierry Breton most recently demonstrated, there is a very unhealthy desire for control in governments and bureaucracies. That many left leaning governments present themselves as good natured and well intentioned actors in their pursuit of control should give us all the more pause for thought. Seldom has more damage been done to the world than by people who believe themselves, beyond all doubt, to be in the right.

It’s actually a really interesting story at the link. If you don’t want to link to it, I get it, & it’s titled, “When the left comes for Elon Musk, they come for all of us”…
Prior to Donald Trump’s return to X, via a longform conversation with Elon Musk, a rather unexpected character inserted himself on the scene. The character is Thierry Breton, Internal Market Commissioner for the European Union. In a letter sent and published on X, Breton publicly threatened Musk with repercussions for, at that time, his future hosting of Trump and the content which may end up being contained in said interview.
Breton of course parsed his words in Euro-bureaucratese saying the letter was merely to “remind” Musk of “due diligence obligations set out in the Digital Services Act,” for which Breton’s department is responsible.
If there were any doubt about the threatening nature of the letter, its final sentence should put any doubts to bed. Referring to the then upcoming Trump interview, it read “My services and I will be extremely vigilant to any evidence that points to breaches of the DSA and will not hesitate to make full use of our toolbox, including adopting interim measures, should it be warranted to protect EU citizens from serious harm.” Yikes.
What Thierry Breton did was attempt to regulate and control a conversation — under threat of censure — taking place in the country of a foreign ally over which Breton has zero jurisdiction.
The conversation in question was of course about the future of the United States, and could have serious implications about the next election. Breton also rather bizarrely references events in the U.K. at the start of the letter, another a country not in the EU and not subject to his whims or authority.
Musk, responded in rather, um, direct terms, with a meme suggesting Breton perform what newspapers used to refer to as a lewd act with his own face. The exchange was great content, if not exactly high brow debate.

Here’s a quick tutorial. You can make a less lethal version without the ball bearing, but it’s a little more intricate and having somebody with small hands helps.
