I wonder if Tim Russ was unavailable to play Janeway's first officer in second season. I can see that the guy is an Andorian. But he sounds quite a lot like Tuvok and in everything I have seen so far, except one scene where he belly laughs, he has acted exactly like Tuvok would. If you aren't...

Watching the Temporal Mechanics 101 video made an impression on me that I didn't have before, though it can be inferred from the scattershot treatment of time travel in Star Trek. Time travel is not even especially mysterious by the late 24th century. It is as easy as building a rocket is now...

SIsko was studied up on the Bell Riots. I feel certain that he had seen a picture of Gabriel Bell before and didn't seem to have any "Aha, no wonder he looks just like me".

Prodigy just called out Cochrane's warp test and the Bell Riots as examples of temporal predestination loops. I wouldn't have thought either would be popular knowledge, but I also felt like neither WERE temporal predestination loops. I thought both were scramble to make the best of the damage...

Trump's lack of imagination is staggering. The January 6 convicts were all charged with specific crimes. 730 of them have actually plead guilty to crimes. Members of the same race and even members of the same club as rioters have not been charged. Only the ones with specific evidence that...

It's nice! None for me, though.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/17/media/florida-judge-tv-abortion-rights-ad-health/index.html Even after all I have seen, it still amazes me that a legit state government thinks they can do something like this. Teaser: Judge had to step in and tell Florida government that they cannot send...

People always get hurt. It isn't perfect. But capitalism has mechanisms to whether inflation too. People are generally somewhat averse to changing jobs because they are trained and their car knows the way and there are various benefit incentives, but in difficult economic conditions people...

I think they know that. Nobody is saying there has been DE-flation. Eggs, milk, and raw meat MIGHT go down a bit, but in general the best you can hope for is that the prices are not going to go up as fast. They don't go back down.

Prodigy didn't sound like anything that would interest me when it was announced and I have paid little attention, but a Facebook post convinced me to give it a shot. It is a little off the beaten path for Star Trek, yes, but it is a pretty good casual Sci-Fi show and does have a lot of Star...

The Republicans keep essentially getting away with saying the inflation was caused by "The Democrats' failed policies" and no one pushes them to identify the policies. I wish we could have that conversation. They sometimes go a little further and say all the spending. If they would explicitly...

To at least some extent, his answer was "I'm not actually guilty of the things you dislike me for".

He was listening enough to know the topics and replied without getting angry, which again was strange. That question was NOT from someone who might vote for him, I'm pretty sure. But he didn't take the bait. Why couldn't he stay this cool with Kamala?

Ow!

I am really surprised by Trump's composure there. As the guy is asking the question, Trump is actually nodding.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/16/politics/vance-trump-2020-election-results/index.html Vance is actually still toeing the line, not toeing the line. I wish someone would keep pushing here. Does he recognize the distinction between "Losing an election because information was hidden from voters"...

You can do a lot with garlic and silver crosses, if I am following you.

If Trump got all of the stuff cleared out of the way so we would all be millionaires, I wonder if that would affect inflation.

Again, these characters should have been presented as having their own correct place and anxiety just led them to go take over the control room as often happens around this age.

I don't think I ever saw that stuff before.
