I have *not* seen Starfleet Academy yet. Waiting for a few more episodes to have a proper binge. Sounds promising!
In my head canon, it’s gonna be like Space Academy (the movie) or the Discovery episode “All is Possible” with Tilly and the cadets. Maybe I’m wrong on that, time will tell!

@slashdot.org just started aggressively blocking visitors using ad blockers.
So, after being a user for 25+ years, I've removed it from my bookmarks bar.
Problem solved for both of us, I guess.

Idea for Tony Gilroy's next Star Wars TV series that bridges the gap between RotJ and Force Awakens. It's basically the story of how the rebel alliance fails to prosecute or punish the Empire for anything they did during the original series, including blowing up planets.

I’ve been a superhost for years, and now #Airbnb is giving me the runaround on them getting into compliance with a new city hotel occupancy tax. Nothing but ChatGPT responses and links to their generic FAQs.
Even VRBO has been better at dealing with this change, which is shocking.

No one can deny Mayor Mamdani is a gifted orator.
Really hope his skill in pulling and pushing the slow levers of government beaurocracy matches his vibes.

I knew #StrangerThings had to end, but I didn’t know it had to rip out my heart multiple times along the way.
What an incredible show.
And no I don’t GAF that the actors got older, I was raised on 90210, I can suspend disbelief.

Being a middle-aged, neurodivergent, basically-sober, liberal man in a super-red area sucks.
Happily married, two great little kids, but no social life.

There should be a Star Trek show for a ship other than the Enterprise, where nothing ever tries to destroy the ship, they just explore and play on the holodeck and deal with minor inconveniences of living with 1000 strangers on a tin can in deep space.

Even if the Epstein files are released, we’ll never know if they have *all* been released. Has someone checked the bathroom at Mar a Lago?

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Once this Administration is over, we need to have a *serious* conversation about new Constitutional amendments to ensure future Presidents can't play God based on questionable legal technicalities and the cowardice and calloused hand-washing of a partisan Congress and Court.

Went to the Beaumont Comic Con with the fam.
Better than expected: Trek sets, local booths, some cosplayers’ garb
Room for improvement: not just promoting on Meta, less 3D print slop sales, more food, contests too late in the day
If you don’t support local events, they won’t survive!

Remember: the *first* thing you notice about the people you meet today — their age, gender, disability, race, etc. — is the *least* interesting thing about them.

Being neurodivergent means you over-explain EVERYTHING in hopes of clear communication, then get anxious that your over-explanation was irritating and actually made things more confusing 🫤

I just finished my full rewatch of Star Trek #DS9 and I’m sad. What a show!
I probably missed half of the episodes when they originally aired due to college/life and lack of a good UHF antenna in my dorm, so for many episodes it was a first watch.
Onward to Voyager!

Disney+ is no longer served in my house.
I don't even like Kimmel.
But Bob Iger is a coward. Corporations are free to air what they like, but I'm also free to spend my money with companies that fight censorship rather than those that crumple at the first threat of it.

Can we talk about just how good James Darren’s character Vic Fontaine was in Star Trek #DS9?
It’s nice to have a self-aware recurring holodeck character who isn’t a supervillain.
