- Comment on Growing number of adults avoid booze, says NHS survey 4 days ago:
Shit’s expensive. And you can’t mix it with a lot of the medications people are already on.
- Comment on Cost of UK’s drug price deal with US will come out of NHS budget 1 week ago:
So dumb. Why aren’t you just making your own drugs in the UK? You’d think that relying on foreign countries for your health supplies would be a national security issue.
- Comment on The Rot Goes Deeper Than ICE 1 week ago:
A third of Americans elected this “rot”.
- Comment on One year ago, Donald Trump took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he has focused on using the presidency to enrich himself. 3 weeks ago:
One year ago, Americans also elected a large number of additional officials. And none of them have done anything to stop him.
- Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World. 3 weeks ago:
Racing to where the ball was, not where it’s going.
- Comment on ‘Landman’ Isn’t Just Oil Industry Propaganda 3 weeks ago:
I think the spin on it being dangerous is more “Look at these brave heroes working hard to bring you oil! Such sacrifice! Like brave soldiers!”
People who watch this are unlikely to say, lobby for stricter safety regulations in the oil fields. They think the danger just has to be part of the job.

Good point!
- Comment on [Very minor Academy spoilers] Does anyone else think the marketing undersold Holly Hunter as Chancellor Ake? 3 weeks ago:
I’m wondering if she will leave the series after season one, just like they did with Jason and Isaacs previously.
She’s an Oscar winning actress, slumming it on a Star Trek show on a minor streaming network. They are probably not really able to afford her salary long term unless she’s working at a discount because shes a Star Trek fan.
I’m also wondering if she’s done any internal grumbling about working for Paramount’s new management.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x01 "Kids These Days" & 1x02 "Beta Test" 3 weeks ago:
Holly Hunter’s breakout role was in “Broadcast News”. I recommend it if you haven’t watched it before.
- Comment on I just went to the doctor's office and my copay is up $5 compared to last year 3 weeks ago:
Be thankful it was only five dollars. Try looking at the co-pays, monthly payments, and deductibles on the ACA marketplace sometime.
- Comment on UK officials may be barred from US over X ban 4 weeks ago:
🤷♂️ Why would they want to come here anyway? So they can have their face scanned? Or their social media analyzed? Or be pulled off the street and deported by ICE for no reason?
- Comment on Climate change has turned Greenland into a target for Trump 4 weeks ago:
The article talks about that. It’s actually a horrible headline for a decent write up. Greenland is melting, which means easier access to mineral deposits and shipping lanes. And though Trump and his minions say they don’t care about climate change, they do care about $$$$.
At least the story didn’t turn out to be some apologist nonsense about Greenland being a huge illegal drug supplier or something.

Please enter your serial number…
One? Ell? Eye? Zero? Oh? Vee Vee Double-U?
- Comment on Alex Kurtzman On His Star Trek Future: “I’m Hopeful” 5 weeks ago:
A couple of filler episodes in a 26 episode season are one thing. Two fillers in an ten episode season is one fifth of the shows.
Also I counted SNW in the 3.5 good shows. 🤷♂️
- Comment on Alex Kurtzman On His Star Trek Future: “I’m Hopeful” 5 weeks ago:
Let’s see how “let them do their own thing” worked out:
Picard — ok s1, abhorrent s2, had to be rebooted in s3 Lower Decks — found its niche audience Discovery — squandered a great cast on absolutely horrible writing Prodigy — found its niche but got canceled anyway SNW — mixed bag, lots of good episodes, but then singing, dancing, muppets, fake Kirk, killed off a great character (Hemmer) Sec 31 — aborted right out of the gate, couldn’t even wring a series out of the material Academy — just looks like more Discovery
To me it seems like he’s just squandering Trek’s good name with his rudderless guidance. 3.5 decent series out of 7 isn’t that great of a batting average.
- Comment on Alex Kurtzman On His Star Trek Future: “I’m Hopeful” 5 weeks ago:
I’m not. I’d like to see someone new running Star Trek, but I don’t have much hope they’d be any better considering current Paramount management.
- Comment on Tawny Newsome Gives Update On Live-Action Star Trek Comedy – “We’re Ready!” 5 weeks ago:
I’ve just stopped watching at this point. The new academy show has some good casting, but it just looks like more ST Discovery slop from the previews.
- Comment on Hegseth Starts Proceedings Against Sen. Mark Kelly Over His Remarks 5 weeks ago:
When do proceedings start against Hegseth?
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Casts Sulu and Bones for Series Finale 1 month ago:
TOS starts way after SNW, so the actor playing bones for this series should be younger than Kelley, not ten years older. Unless the finale takes place years later. We’ll see.
- Comment on How Did DOGE Disrupt So Much While Saving So Little? The group’s biggest claims were largely incorrect, a New York Times analysis found. And its many smaller cuts added up to few savings. 1 month ago:
This operation’s goal wasn’t actually to save any money. That’s how.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Casts Sulu and Bones for Series Finale 1 month ago:
Thomas Jane seems a bit old to be playing Bones.
- Comment on Trump Administration Loosens Protections for Iconic Greater Sage Grouse | The government moves to make it easier to drill, mine and graze on 50 million acres of land in the West. 1 month ago:
It’s like this administration wakes up every morning and brainstorms, “How can we make this world a shittier place?”

How many episodes total, after the final season airs?

I really wish we’d get a season/show set in that era.

Nice to see a non-clickbait headline for a change.
- Comment on Christina Chong Has a Wild Idea for a 'Doctor Who' and 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Crossover 2 months ago:
Please no. No more gimmicks. No singing. No dancing. No puppets. No crossovers with other franchises. Just please make some good, classic Star Trek.

That bracket in the second picture looks like it’s made for a slide-in bidet seat.
