I don't want any guff about that #StrangeNewWorlds finale. It was touching and interesting. I liked it. And yes, I know they ripped off The Fifth Element, and the resolution was a tad compressed, but it was a satisfying season ending, and after whatever's next, bring on Trek Year One.

Guys, I know you all still cling to conspiracy theories about Merrick Garland bc ... well, you watch too many TV lawyers who knew fuckall about the investigation.
But this is a fact. A trial was scheduled to happen 3 years after Jan6, just like Bolsonaro got.
Who killed it? John Roberts.

ICE is illegally holding people here for weeks, often without adequate access to medical care, food, or legal counsel.
