- Comment on Most Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds 1 day ago:
Don’t get complacent. Vote. Make sure your friends vote. Looked at what’s happening in the US.
- Comment on Why there's no quick fix in sight for the problem of dazzling headlights 1 week ago:
Could’ve sworn Europe and the UK had already approved that automatically point downward in oncoming traffic.
- Comment on Vaccine Makers Curtail Research and Cut Jobs | Federal policies under Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that are hostile to vaccines have “sent a chill through the entire industry,” one scientist said. 2 weeks ago:
As I posted in a similar thread…
The USA isn’t the vaccine industry’s only market. I don’t get why our (hopefully temporary) insanity would cause companies to act like they have to cancel vaccine development.
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks 2 weeks ago:
Just pointing out that the crew often goes flying around the bridge quite often in Star Trek, despite the “inertial dampeners” and I think someone sitting sideways in a chair probably wouldn’t fare too well in that situation. And that the slick mop-n-glo floors probably won’t help either. Thought used to go into the design of these ships, but now it’s all about “make it shiny and futuristic looking!” But honestly I think it would build some character into the show if it actually happened and Hunter’s captain had a good laugh about it.

Just remember, Star Trek ships don’t have seat belts. Gonna be fun when someone slams on the brakes and Captain slouchy goes flying out of her chair, across the freshly waxed floor, and into the viewscreen. At least the nextgen crew knew to put carpet on the floors.
- Comment on Growing number of adults avoid booze, says NHS survey 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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.

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. 1 month ago:
One year ago, Americans also elected a large number of additional officials. And none of them have done anything to stop him.

Racing to where the ball was, not where it’s going.
- Comment on ‘Landman’ Isn’t Just Oil Industry Propaganda 1 month 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? 1 month 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" 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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.

- Comment on Alex Kurtzman On His Star Trek Future: “I’m Hopeful” 1 month 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” 1 month 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” 1 month 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!” 1 month 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.
