An extraordinary deep-sea sighting: The giant phantom jelly
why isn't there a USS Enterprise that looks like this?
So this float showed up at the Popcorn festival/ parade
To me, it's like having a float of a burning sinking USS Arizona at a Pearl Harbor anniversary event, or worse.
I do see a distinction, especially since those lost in NY on 9/11 didn't heroically go down fighting the enemy. There's little to celebrate about the image.
Im unsure how I feel about this so far. I get that "celebrating the attack" = bad. But it was meant as a memorial, I've never been to a pleasant memorial, and some of them do show people being attacked.

I'm not sure exactly what is in bad taste about this. I see many war memorials where soldiers have either been attacked or in the middle of being attacked. I don't see the distinction between the buildings and the soldiers.

Emails Expose Efforts To Put USS John McCain 'Out Of Sight'
Not really surprising...it continues to get worse...The illegitimate Demander in Cheat attempted to deny this despite proof it happened due to written Whitehouse demand, denying any responsibility by first claiming it didn't happen at all and the ship name was only hidden due to routine maintenance not orders from the Whitehouse, then claiming it was a single staffer that with good intentions demanded McCain's name be hidden (but there's certainly not a reprimand in that subordinate's future) and he claims sailors from the USS McCain and another ship were really just on leave, not excluded from his speech....but multiple sailors from the McCain have said they showed up despite the entire ship being singled out/ being uninvited, and they alone were denied entry, fact contradicting the president once again.
Sweet zombie Jebus, Putin would be a better, less divisive American president....who wouldn't?

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch | Official Trailer | Netflix
I'd say it isn't overly depressing. It's not San Junipero level happy, not even Hang the DJ. Perhaps somewhere around USS Callister and Nosedive. It's not overly depressing.
There are certainly sadder endings than others. I've watched/played it twice and basically hit 4 or all 5 endings. though I'd say there are only 3 or so "real" endings. As one can perhaps tell by the trailer, he's making a game called Bandersnatch, and there are 3 reviews of the game, which is what I'd call the real endings. The other hard endings, generally let you reset, and go back to one, or even two, key moments to reset the story lines. In those two viewings I don't recall the Jerome F Davies laughing scene that is seen in the trailer.
There are a few cool points. Like you pick which cereal you want in the morning, it'll be noted later in the show. Your music choice will effect a line later. There are some Black Mirror Easter Eggs as one would expect.
It's not the best Black Mirror episode, San Junipero is impossible to beat I'd think. but it is far from the worst. It's in the upper half, perhaps upper 3rd or even quarter.
What i need to know is does this leave you feeling miserable or is there a reasonable happyish ending (something not leaving me depressed)?
Upvote comment if it does NOT leave you feeling shitty/depressed/miserable/hopeless.
Downvote comment if it does leave you feeling all or any of those things.
The Day Liberty Died
I don't trust your video, not even a little bit.
I know you just dismissed opposing evidence earlier up thread, but here's a link to audio recordings and english transcripts the NSA captured and posted from Israeli helicopters in the area at the time. Again, I know you dismiss it, but they certainly were uncertain of what had just been hit/attacked.
https://www.nsa.gov/news-features/declassified-documents/uss-liberty/recordings.shtml
Friendly fire is a fact of war, Canadians on a training mission in Afghanistan where killed by USAF runs despite their training operation and location being registered with the airforce. Fatal screw ups happen in war so it seems much less of a stretch to call this an accident than a deliberate scheme against an ally.
You go ahead and believe some video referring to the 'mockingbird media' and using literally 4-5 words of audio and leaving out all other communications though, I'm sure they left it out for brevity and not because it contradicts their narrative. That's something only the mockingbird media would do...
Or perhaps more briefly, provide a little better evidence before acting like this is as clear cut as our knowledge that the earth is round...
So you didn't watch the video, where they included audio of them identifying the ship prior to attacking and again afterwards.
I guess you didn't read any comments either, because a few reasons why they would do this have been given.
If unmarked ships/planes were targets, they might have attacked themselves as the attacking planes were also unmarked.
They knew the American ship was there, we told them beforehand. As mentioned in the video, they had to know which frequencies to jam, and they jammed American frequencies, not Egyptian. Again, watch the video, they identified it as American before sinking it.
The Day Liberty Died
This.
I get there is plenty of room to criticise Israeli actions and call them too aggressive. This is just not such an example, in any way, shape or form.
As vil said, this happened when Israel was actively at war. Nasser had blocked Israeli shipping and moved Egpytian forces onto the border. Israel then made a pre-emptive strike wiping out the Egyptian air-force, and then launching a ground offensive. The USS Liberty was running as an unmarked ship in the wrong place at the wrong time and Israel hit it too.
Israel knew it was a US military vessel or they didn't. If they didn't, it's highly possible they decided the unmarked military vessel was a threat and hit it. If they did, they decided it was a good idea to hit an American owned military vessel while starting/engaging a war with Egypt.
I can't reason out any situation where Israel thinks it's a good idea to deliberately kill and engage the US here, it's all bad for them. The most reasonable explanation is they attacked an unmarked military vessel in a war zone because they knew it wasn't their own.
6 day war under way, standing orders to sink anything that moves near the shore, unmarked ship. Either pick a side or get out of the way.
Black Mirror — Now Entering the Twilight Zone
In top 3 or 5 for USS Callister? I enjoyed it because I'm a Trek(ie/ker).
The USS Callister episode was pretty good, and I'd put it in the top 3 or top 5. Obviously, San Junipero is the best episode, and one of the best hours of TV, but Callister was up there.
