Isn’t that essentially the plot to The Langoliers?

DharkStare@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•U.S. government officials privately warn Musk’s blitz appears illegalEnglish7·2 months agoHow about they publicly warn about it as well as follow up with some criminal charges. We have systems in place to stop all of this but it requires the officials to grow a spine and actually use them.
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•‘Very minor incidents’: Trump defends January 6 pardons in Hannity interviewEnglish14·3 months agoI didn’t realize beating a cop to death was considered a minor incident.
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•A 'constitutional sheriff' tried to seize voting machines in 2020. Officials are bracing for a repeat.English61·5 months agoThe real problem is that these people get away with it. There are no consequences to their actions. If no one is going to hold them accountable then it’s not just a belief they have, they really are above the law.
The joke is so obvious there’s no need to comment on it so others, including myself, are using this as an opportunity to post our opinions on the difference between sci-fi and fantasy.
I would argue that science fiction and fantasy are the same thing and the only difference is the explanation for how all the cool stuff works.
Functionally, there’s no real difference between a portal that takes the characters to another world using a wormhole and one that does it through through magic. Just like how there’s no difference between Vulcans/Klingons/Wookies and Elves/Dwarves/Beastmen. Both are intelligent non-humans.
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Paris Olympics lifts intimacy ban for athletes and is stocking up on 300,000 condomsEnglish10·1 year agoFrom what I’ve read previously, I’m not sure that’s enough.
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Roberta Kaplan says Trump threw papers across table at Mar-a-Lago deposition because his legal team agreed to feed her lunchEnglish38·1 year ago“See you next Tuesday” is a derogatory euphemism?
Edit: I would have never figured out what it was supposed to mean on my own. I had never heard of that before and judging by all the quick replies it’s a more well known insult then I would have guessed.
DharkStare@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Charles Littlejohn: Man who stole and leaked Trump tax records sentenced to 5 years in prisonEnglish153·1 year agoThe judge compared Littlejohn’s actions to those of the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, noting that, “your actions were also a threat to our democracy.”
Because stealing and releasing tax documents is the same thing as attempting to violently overthrow the government.
This is real?!? When I first heard about this, I thought it was a joke.
