Is RFK Jr a DNC sleeper agent? He says he will work to get fluoride taken out of drinking water because it is lowering IQ. No federal body does anything other than advise on this issue, so it isn't likely that he will have any effect, but if he does and IQ starts going up, won't that damage...

You don't have to send him to prison. Fine him.

Early stuff for Cowboy Bebop emphasized shot for shot stuff, but the show wound up with its own feet. We don't know anything from this.

They are all unnecessary by almost any measure, and largely wasteful. Part of the draw for producers, I think, is that THEY didn't get to make it last time.

That is a fan explanation of a changed premise and it has been undone. Discovery used that insignia 10 years before Kirk commanded the Enterprise. Some time after Decker left, Spock became the Captain of the Enterprise and it doesn't appear that it went on any adventures. Where is that...

There is an ongoing fan concept that the Enterprise was always the flagship and I don't remember that anything bears it out before Enterprise-D. There may be a line of dialog somewhere, but during TOS, the Enterprise was out exploring, though individual episodes show it was able to come to home...

The in-universe reason for the Excelsior class lasting so long could just be relative peace and that starships are expensive. The Borg and the Dominion blew up a lot of starships, but the Tsenkethi and Cardassians way less.

I don't really know how dumb Gaetz is. He gives me dumb guy vibes, for sure, but he has a law degree. On one end of the spectrum, the Ethics report was about to be released and he knows what is in it and knows it is true and I guess it might trigger a criminal investigation. Resigning made...

Gaetz would probably invite a Senate Ethics Investigation that way anyway. Maybe he had better become a lobbyist.

I don't remember what that was.

I'm just thinking about Star Trek a lot today. Just occurred to me that we don't know what happened between Star Trek 5 and 6, but it was actually 6 years. Did they go on a 5 year mission?

It's a pretty good deal unless you are the Enterprise.

He may be on his best course though. I think he could still un-resign, but if he does they'll be releasing that report. And coming back right after being roundly rejected is kind of a loser move. Not that he wouldn't do a loser move, but... Edit - Rubio is going into the Cabinet, right? So...

The last sentence of Trump's statement about it. "Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!" Donald, you are a gross old man.

I don't remember thinking about it before today how spoilery "The Search for Spock" is as a title.

Don't count him in yet. Markwayne is one of my Senators and my Senators are generally all in for Trump. When the upper house tells the lower house what they want and the lower house says no, don't count on the upper house saying oh ok. These are the makings of a turf war. The Senate can...

A super volcano could destroy this entire continent and then the rest of the stuff wouldn't really matter.

There is also the supervolcano possibility.

If Markwayne is demanding the report, I don't think Gaetz is getting confirmed. He already resigned, which I thought at the moment was a confident move, but I guess it was a strategy to try to make his ethics report officially irrelevent. But I guess if the notion of his new job fizzles out...

Definitely a signal of a culture that isn't worrying about money. As far as my memory is concerned, that scene looks rotoscoped.
