Agreed! There's so much time and space to play with - the early days of the Federation, the lost era, the post-Picard/pre-Burn era - so many stories untold. We could have shows that explore non-Starfleet aspects of the universe, political drama, comedy, action/adventure - something new and different
It is extremely difficult to construct a practical case against this position. Net Zero is now as much about patriotism as it is about climate change.
So skip the trial and go straight to sentencing. Job done.
Yes yes, very good, thank you
Exactly. Either you accept that time moves on and the world will never be the same as it was in the olden days, or you try to recreate the olden days by oppressing anyone who doesn't fit what you see through your rose coloured spectacles. It only ever benefits the oligarchs who want to seize power.
100% agree. They start with memberberries, and end up with the third reich.
“An SEP is something that we can’t see, or don’t see, or our brain doesn’t let us see, because we think that it’s somebody else’s problem. That’s what SEP means. Somebody Else’s Problem. The brain just edits it out, it’s like a blind spot.”
-- Douglas Adams, Life, the Universe, and Everything
I totally understand that, but if they come crawling out of the woodwork in my replies, they'll be on a one way trip to Blocksville.
Either they didn't like change, or, as is increasingly the case, they're trying to push some kind of right wing agenda. Either way, it masks their true intent.
I guess it makes them feel important, which is sad.
Same here - it'll always be Twitter to me.
So that’s that, right? We don’t have to put up with endless drivel about how expensive it is to save the planet abd ourselves ever again? Cool.
Farage standing in front of petrol forecourt sign 25P OFF WITH FARAGE REFORM UK All this fawning over Donald Trump - where has it got Nigel Farage?
Today, he is back in the rainy old UK, standing on a petrol forecourt in his faux-toff outfit, whingeing about Rachel Reeves putting fuel duty up by a few pennies - a tax that has been frozen since 2011. Besides, his mate Donald has done more in the past week to put up the price of petrol, with his continued bombing of Iran, than the chancellor. Tell that to White Van Man, Nigel.
“Farage… helped fool everyone about Brexit - which he wants to renegotiate, naturally. Surely the British people can't take this absurd man seriously again? After all, even Trump doesn't.”
Beyond time to boot Farage and his stale band of Tories off the stage.

Yes, I didn't enjoy it either. I gave it a chance despite not being in favour of the concept, but it wasn't for me. And you know what? Rather than going online, trashing it and trashing anyone that liked it, I simply moved on. Nobody's forcing me to watch it again, so why waste energy on negativity.
Passing this on to anyone inside the USA, in case your government censored media hasn't been reporting this.
Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
It’s time for accountability.
I hate how that word has been weaponised by the worst people in the world. You're right - it's always a shorthand for something they don't like, and don't want to say the real reason they dislike it.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with honest criticism and not liking some aspects of a series, but like you say, it's difficult to articulate that with extremists on both sides. My default setting is always 'like', but any aspect I criticise is because I want the show to be the best it can be.
This is why the haters are insidious. They're driving a wedge between fans by implying that if you support one show, you automatically hate all the others. It feels like there's a similar thing going on with the Star Trek: United pitch. I choose not to play their game. It's all Star Trek to me.
Lucky escape. I tried it when I was looking for a new post-Twitter home, and all it gave me was a splurge of algorithmic nonsense that bared little resemblance to the stuff I actually wanted to follow. Fucking awful just about sums it up.
It's hard to tell sometimes. Hopefully the new Bsky CEO won't introduce AI feeds that mean we have no idea who posted what, and who we're following. 🤯 It would be like Threads all over again.
I hope it makes him smile - he posts a lot of politics, and I'm sure he wakes up every day feeling like that!
I'm sure this would give George himself a chuckle!

It's the 150th anniversary of the first telephone call, and who can forget Alexander Graham Bell's first, immortal words?
Fuck, yeah!

Cor, sure would feel great right now if we were self-sufficient in renewable energy, and laughing at all the rubes reliant on global oil supplies. We'd have a bit of a swagger in our step today.
