Oh, my sibling in sin, I will tell you things about railways you wouldn’t believe, like a proto-railway that played a role in the 1745 Battle of Prestonpans, or rope haulage, or how the Ffestiniog Railway in Wales was designed to constantly go downhill because it was opened in the 1830s before steam locos were both powerful enough or widespread enough to be practical.
Sit down, I’m going to tell you about how the inventor of the RORO Train Ferry died in shame.

Listen. Alexander Hamilton died in 1804 and the current year is 2025. If I died today and found out that in the year 2246 that the laws, mannerisms, dress, economics, attitudes, and technology had changed so little that I “recognised” it, I wouldn’t be proud, I would be concerned. My mind would be going “what the fuck why hasn’t anything changed”. I would expect things to be different, if I noticed that nothing or little had changed technologically, socially, economically or politically, I would suspect there had been a collapse akin to the Bronze Age Collapse that society was only just recovering from.
My Grandmother was born in 1920. She was born two years after women got the vote, Modern Art was in it’s heyday, Cinema was still silent, the quickest way you could sent a message to anyone was via Morse Code, and there were people around who were born in the 1830s. She used to have to take a fucking candle up to bed with her like in those Bugs Bunny Cartoons. She lived to see gay marriage in the UK, The Lord of the Rings Trillogy, Video calls, and the Moon Landing.
I expect to see commercial Fusion Power and a moon base by my 90s. If I was told that little changed between now and 2246, my first question would be a terrified “why”?

Once saw a seagull casually walk up to a pigeon like it was going to walk past it and just snap it’s fucking neck.

I literally had an old lady tell me that black lives matter was going to take over destroy the UK and take over Britain. Like the organisation. There are some people that are so deep in right-wing newspaper and Facebook shit that they will unironically spout something like that.

At another 10 minutes? Yes. Yes it is, especially when you need to catch a train.

I feel safer on that one than the one at Queensferry. Behold.
Every other step? Rotten. Parts of the Handrail? Broken. The steps? Uneven. The Alternative? A winding road that takes you out into the country or a walk into the village.

Fun fact, there is a stairway like this but so much more run down near me. It’s known locally as the Jacob’s Ladder, it’s under the Forth Rail Bridge and it’s actually terrifying but it’s the quickest way between the station and the Pier.

The fact that a load of billionaires are now embracing the far right to protect their arses sure seems like a familiar theme.

It’s because rich powerful people have realised that if you feed the trolls you can get them to do things.

So there’s a lot of things about these drones being Aliens (and a lot of things about Aliens in general).
If they really are aliens, do you think beings who travelled here through interstellar space and the technology to come to earth within (we assume) a single lifetime are going to be felled by a fucking gun?
I don’t think the Aliens are hostile because if they were, we’d be dead by now.

You’ll notice a lot of videos made by conservative groups featuring women happen to be filmed in Kitchens.

First they said men should not be able to feel sadness or affection, now they are taking away Joy. Soon, men will only be able to feel blind, unspeakable rage.

This is actually a very good way of dealing with people in an emotional state: Say something so off the fucking wall and irrelevant that it snaps people out of it.

“Meeerrrr, gib me more goody too shoes utopic bullshit.”
Eat shit. This kinda thing is what gives me life. Do I like the Utopic hopeful shit? Yes. Do I also want to see more Mirror Universe? Also yes. Do I want to see more Section 31? Hell yes! Do I want to see Emperor Georgiou kicking arse as part of S31 and more Mirrorverse Lore? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY! THE GIRLIES ARE FED! GIVE ME MORE BLACK OP ANTICS WITH MY MORALLY DUBIOUS FORMER EMPERESS PLEASE!
Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season Three is coming out soon so it’s not like you’re going to be bereft of hopeful and utopic.
