An infinite number of modern Trek writers typing for an infinite amount of time could never come up with something as great and inspiring as Kirk's 'Risk is our Business' speech.

Star Trek was, at its core, competence porn: skilled people doing their jobs well & improving each other and themselves in the process. Now it's "identity" porn: every character is most interested in showcasing how special they are, but for hardly any actual, earned reasons.

Regarding the No Kings thing.
Like or dislike Trump all you want.
But you're wasting a fine Saturday morn/afternoon if you gather with fellow like minded people with silly signs.
Just drove by a bunch of boomers with signs in an affluent suburb of Portland.
Shaking their signs and hooting and hollering as I drove by.
I gave them a Thumbs Down.
Not because of their political opinions, but because they're wasting energy.
Volunteer to walk a dog.
Call a friend you haven't chatted to in ages.
Scrub some graffiti.
Be productive on a level that creates a real result.
Gonna grab a morning beer and think on this a bit more.
Thank you.

Pulp Fiction writer Roger Avary on Alex Kurtzman's Star Trek:
"This dweeb Alex Kurtzman comes along and just [expletive] all over everything. Just craps all over it.
I went in and met with the guy. I was like, 'Hey, I will write for scale. I'll write on your new show. I just want to be part of it.' And I basically found out he didn't want anybody who had any kind of fondness for the original show. He wanted to do something new and to create something new.
And boy has he [expletive] the bed like in a big way. ...
That [expletive] Alex Kurtzman, man. His company is called Secret Hideout, I think. He's going to need a secret hideout after destroying Star Trek for this latest generation.
Starfleet Academy is an abomination. I could not get through 3 episodes of Discovery. It just awful, awful storytelling. ... Just horrible. And they're more interested in the corproate propaganda with any kind of personal propaganda."
Is he correct?

Charlie Kirk got assassinated at 31 years old and then became the biggest joke on the internet. His face is now constantly superimposed onto pictures & videos for people to laugh at for the rest of time. His widow has made a mockery of him and she herself has become a meme. Basically, everything he ever did in life has been rendered useless. There's something incredibly sinister & demoralizing about this, like watching a person's soul being sent to Hades in real time, only it's not the Ancient Greeks. It's us.

650 light-years away, the red supergiant Betelgeuse is living on borrowed time.One of the brightest stars in our night sky, this colossal star is a supernova in waiting. When it finally detonates, the explosion will be so ferocious that, even from this immense distance, it could briefly outshine the full Moon and turn night into day for weeks. For a short, dazzling time, Betelgeuse may even rival the brightness of the entire Milky Way, painting our skies with a light show unlike anything humanity has ever witnessed. The countdown to its dramatic death has already begun.

The original song “May It Be” from The Fellowship of the Ring was nominated for an Oscar but didn’t win... which was honestly a ridiculous outcome.

Oregon and Gonzaga are very similar programs in the respective worlds of College Football and College Basketball.
Both programs have been relevant on the national stage for a significant period of time, but neither has won a national title and they always come up short of the big goal.
Gonzaga lost in the NCAA tournament last night, suffering their second consecutive exit in the Round of 32.
Oregon got annihilated by Indiana in the College Football Playoff semifinals last season, and in 2024 they were a one-and-done with a blowout loss to Ohio State.
Will either program get over the hump and win their sport’s national title in the near future?

In 2015, Disney called 250 IT workers into a meeting.
They thought they were getting bonuses.
Disney told them they were being replaced by workers flown in from India on H-1B visas, and if they didn't spend the next 90 days training those replacements, they'd lose their severance.
Leo Perrero testified before Congress about it. Appeared on 60 Minutes.
"Someone was flown in from another country to sit at my same desk and take over what I was doing. It was the most humiliating thing I've ever gone through in my life."
Two workers sued Disney, HCL, and Cognizant for colluding to illegally displace American workers.
Courts dismissed it. Disney Magic.
