I’ll say that today, I got an unexpected surprise sequel episode from a series I love, and it totally gave my Little Kid an absolute holy fuck that is amazing OMG reaction. :) 🔗
I’m watching DS9. I’m listening to the very opening of “Q-Less.” I’m convinced that Dr. Bashir is doing his best William Shatner impression.

“Among the new [Chicago Teachers Union] provisions are gender-affirming health care for staff, a trained Gender Support Coordinator in every school, codified protections for chosen names and pronouns, and a mandate that every school upholds inclusive curriculum standards and supports student-led Gender and Sexuality Alliances. The message from educators is simple: every student deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported — no matter what extremists in Washington, D.C., or state capitals may say.” (link)

Warning: IANAL but I’m lawyer-aligned. Here’s something for your stories, if you are an author: Legalese: This license is granted only on the condition that the licensee is not, and does not publicly present themselves as (in earnest or in support of those views), racist, homophobic, transphobic (including but not limited to gender-critical or so-called “TERF” ideologies), antisemitic, Islamophobic, or sexist, nor produces derivative works that depict my original characters or narratives in a way that glorifies or affirms such views.
Rare recommendation from me. Black Mirror S7E01 is … too dark for our time. I know that only encourages people to find it out, but read the plot somewhere (Wikipedia, Google, etc.) without watching the episode, and you’ll understand why. We’re in a dark time. This is too dark for it.
Watching an old TNG episode “The Outrageous Okona.” It is a bit funny, because ‘Okona’ is clearly a Han Solo pastiche, and in the opening credits, you see “Guest Starring Joe Piscopo as The Comic.” Loving the sheer ’80s/’90s-ness of this episode.only a few minutes in. And TERI HATCHER as the transporter officer!
@TonyPannWBAL: Ok. I guess I have to address this. The information on your phone app comes FROM data provided by NOAA for free. NOAA gathers weather data (daily balloon launches) and feeds it into the modeling so your phone can tell you it’s going to rain tomorrow. Saying we don’t need NOAA or the NWS because I can see the weather on my phone, is like saying we don’t need farmers because I can just go to the grocery store. End of rant.
