  • Lower Decks is my favorite Star Trek since DS9. When it came out though, I was super against it. Didn’t think Paramount had any right to be making fun of Star Trek after Discovery season 1. You can tell Lower Decks is made by people that love Star Trek though.

    This last season, they did a classic Audience-with-the-Klingon-High-Council episode, and when I saw it, I exclaimed to my fiance, “Yes! I love Klingon bureaucracy episodes!” and then later in the episode, there was almost that exact same line

    Strange New Worlds has been finding their feet too. We got a courtroom episode on Augment rights, that really felt Star Trek, and they’ve had some original stories as well that I’ve really loved, like Among the Lotus Eaters. There have been a couple episodes I haven’t been a fan of, but what Star Trek hasn’t had those?

    If you’re open to it, I recommend giving both shows another chance!











  • I reverse engineered this, by thinking about what I would do if I was in the Pokemon world, since whatever economic system Pokemon has means that 10 year olds can support themselves with hobby income while traveling the world, and basically every adult makes their living through their special interest. So now I’m working towards becoming a wetland ecologist, and it’s led to uncovering tons of nostalgic memories from field trips and stuff in elementary school

    I’d swap the sambuca for 50/50 Galliano and vodka (to match the proof), and keep the Kahlua. When you’re riffing close enough to keep part of the name, you should keep part of the drink.

    Galliano is herbal and sharp like anissettes, but just different because of the herbs used, including significant vanilla notes, which should go with the Kahlua

    Moreover, legitimate fascists and reactionaries are not the same as “well-meaning but misinformed” people

    Yeah, this is the big point. If they’re “…[invalidating] your humanity, and the humanity of people you love,” they are just abusing your patience, and don’t deserve it. Fuck those people.
