I always imagined them as a sentient parasite not unlike those in “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. The hosts are selected based on specific genetic conditions which is why there are familial lines infected with them. There can be a whole story arc about efforts to introduce a “cure”.

Dunno about this one. Not defending, but not convinced these incidents rise to the fever pitch they’re generating either. Seems to be more context needed TBH.

He still thought we was smarter than everyone and was personally responsible for loosing the Alien scourge on the world. Billionaires need high taxes the same way junkyard dogs need high fences with strong, locked gates.

The point at which a thing pivots is its hinge. We are at such a point and whatever is needed to pivot in the right direction is, by definition, ‘hinged’.

The correct response to Chevron being overturned is for every single environmental group to start filing millions of lawsuits, right now, today, arguing that various regulatory decisions didn't go far enough. Absolutely flood the zone.

Israel is a nation state whose leaders are 2 or 3 generations removed from the atrocities that shamed the world into creating it. Anti-Israeli sentiments are distinct from either anti-Zionisim or antisemitism. If anything, Israel's leaders are using anti-Zionism as THEIR fig leaf for genocide.
