I'm guilty of this, as it's Week One, and we're adjusting to The New Normal. But I've got new rules for 2025. If you're just gonna politidunk or repost a stream of "Can you believe what they did NOW?" stuff, then we're not gonna work out. My Zoloft dose just ain't strong enough for you.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9) premiered 33 years ago today, January 3, 1993, with "Emissary," a movie-length episode. This is my favorite Star Trek series. An absolutely amazing show. I love it.

Friday night at Target has become quite the high school sausage fest. I'm ashamed of these dudes, playing Catch in the aisles. Don't y'all know any girls to finger? You're in the fingering prime of your lives!

At least EE will ship it better. Walmart shipped mine in a mailer, and then apparently kicked it around the warehouse a few times until someone made a goal.
If you missed him at Walmart, Entertainment Earth has the Mattel WWE Elite Transparent John Cena up for preorder ($25.99) - bit.ly/3LstzuT
Free shipping on $79+ orders.

I just saw an ad with Popeye shilling for Solitaire Grand Harvest, and I find myself more offended than I thought I'd ever be about something regarding Popeye.

Folks outside NYC are all "Yay, Mamdani!" Meanwhile, folks IN NYC seem to be implying he just pulled a "heel turn". Like, they're already over him. I mean, they've been sort of sour on him since the White House visit, but you'd think he just revealed an nWo shirt after being sworn in.

People get (mis)information from popular podcasters and random YouTube videos now. They have a disdain for educated/trained experts and factual data. Also confirmation bias is a big thing. You can find something to support any opinion on the internet.
