Starfleet Academy. This might be what I needed right now. Evidently, I'm a bit emotionally compromised right now, as I kept tearing up at the oddest times watching the premiere. It feels like they leaned to Star Wars a bit, similar to Disco or Prodigy, but there's enough Trek to make it really good.

I fucking swear I will never donate to another political entity. All I’ve gotten is my data being sold and countless spam texts. Thanks a pantload, Dems. Please fuck off and do something.

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

Sure. Just threaten another long-time ally just because their president isn’t taking your bullshit.
Trump on the president of Colombia: "He's gonna have himself some big problems if he doesn't wise up ... he better wise up or he'll be next. I hope he's listening. He's gonna be next."

You can't just flip a switch on unpaid and exhausted air traffic controllers. Things are still going to be messed up.
After the paychecks come in and folks get some sleep, they are still understaffed, and dealing with mandatory overtime and outdated equipment.
There are no quick fixes.
