I started watching Deep Space 9 after you and @jackpackard.bsky.social discussed it for a depressingly short time on Rewind...
Now, do you know the story behind Jadzia Dax's first name?
Because to a Polish ear, it sounds funny. It's the diminutive form of Jadwiga (name).

Thank you for making me realize that Battlestar Galactica is the gritty version of Star Trek Voyager.
I really can't comprehend why I didn't connect that.
Also, I've listened to all 250 Star Trek episodes and these are amongst my favourite ones.

We really dug this film and the way it unpacks the complicated relationship between past and present, living and dead, wealth and poverty, plus Italian nonna's favoritism towards their granddaughter's ex-boyfriends.

This week, the GOP slid an amendment into the budget reconciliation process that would ban US states from enacting laws that govern AI.
This of course was not an aberration—it’s the direct result of Silicon Valley lobbying efforts, and big tech’s union with Trump and the Republican Party.
