Still better than Musk Junior High.

I adore SNW, but honestly, "always trying to 1-up itself and becoming a bizarre comedy because of it" seems like a better description of it than it is of Disco.

The Enterprise.

I mean, her or Yvonne Craig.

What?

It’s spelt M’egh.

Us Canucks have been boycotting U.S. products since the first round of tariffs.

We’ll never stop standing with Quebec. No foreign power is going to dictate our culture. Canada strong.

AIDS thinks Reagan is killing the right people?

Except Canadian tariffs have, so far, been targeted so as to cause maximum harm to red states and minimum harm to Canadians. Unlike Trump’s sloppy across-the-board approach.

It's no more limiting to TNG era stories than the TNG era itself was to TOS era stories. They can't blow up the Earth or genocide any major races, but beyond that we've been given very little information about any character's future. I didn't find Star Trek VI any less exciting because I knew the Klingon empire would still be around 80 years later, and I'd say SNW is flourishing under far tighter restrictions.

You need to have your hearing checked. Carney has declared that he will not waste his time talking to Trump. You agree talking to Trump would be a waste of time. Where’s the problem?

I certainly don't think they'd continue to move at a high speed. Inertia wouldn't really apply, because the objects were never really "moving" at all. Space was moving around them, but they were stationary relative to the space inside the bubble.

So I'd say that if they survived crossing the threshold from the space inside the bubble to the space outside the bubble, they'd basically instantly become stationary.

The question is can you survive exiting the bubble like that, or would the bubble's edge tear you apart. But I think we might actually have an answer to this, from Discovery's last season. Didn't Burnham survive exiting that enemy ship's bubble in that first episode, before Discovery beamed her back aboard?

What about social media? The news media isn’t censoring Lemmy, why aren’t protestors at least sharing photos and videos here to get the word out?

Uup. You can’t “don’t blame me, I voted for the other guy” your way through a trade war. They’re part of this, and if they don’t like it then they’d better find a way to hold Trump to account.

If they don’t like it, they need to find a way to hold their president accountable. Trump can end this conflict with a word. Until then, we do what we have to.

Always striking to me how many Star Trek fans are so dismissive of Star Trek. I know its of it's time, but TOS didn't take its place in history by accident. Wonderful storytelling, iconic characters - absolutely a must to watch, at least to try it out.

Voyager, by comparison, is pretty mid. The writing is super inconsistent and it absolutely squanders its own premise. Notable for Janeway, Seven, and the Doctor, but it's definitely rough going.

But it's still a good watch. The only ones I don't think I could enthusiastically recommend are TAS, Enterprise, and Picard.

Dried stevia leaves are subjected to purified water first. Then followed by a precipitation process with ferric chloride and calcium hydroxide to remove non-soluble plant materials & other impurities and follow filtration.

So they’re washed with soap and water? Must we use the scariest language possible here?

I’m old enough to remember the premiere of DS9, but I did appreciate Discovery’s move to the future. I liked the political aspects of the rebuilding of the Federation. I have always been a little bugged by how Earth centric Trek tends to be, so I especially appreciated the fact that Earth had seceded by the start of season 3. Not sure how much I can expect Academy to pick up on any of that, though.

Yeah, I hate to say it, but it makes sense from a bean-counter's perspective. Lower Decks seemed to mostly target hardcore fans, and hardcore fans will already be subscribing to watch SNW. If its not gaining them any extra subscriptions, they don't care about it.

Section 31 and Academy are both trying to court people outside of the existing fandoms. Certainly not very successfully in the case of Section 31, but the reasoning at play is pretty clear.

The Daddykins to someone’s Ronny as it were.
