This has gone too far.
Twice-yearly protest isn't enough.

I have a calendar that tells me what #StarTrek episodes were first shown on that day. If I need something to put on TV while I do stuff, or to watch, I put on that day's Star Trek.
Today's Star Trek is 'What Are Little Girls Made Of?' TOS
'Behind the Lines' DS9
'Alice' VOY
'Trusted Sources' LWD

I also wasn't really sold on the show at first but I found a reaction channel that was watching and started watching with them, then I got into it.
It really does get really good fast at the end of Season 1 into the beginning of Season 2

I've been watching The Expanse, and though I think it's really good it hadn't hit me emotionally the way Babylon 5 did repeatedly
Then I got to Season 2 Episode 12 Scene 52.
Wow.
I think Babylon 5 is probably the best sci-fi story ever told on television and I think The Expanse might be just as good

Didn't two Representatives say they'd read the names on the floor of Congress because they can't face legal repercussions for what they say there?
Pretty sure they did and yet, neither of them have.
Did victims ask them not to? Was it just lies? They could deatroy the Republican by doing that.

I think of it as 'malicious stupidity'.

Connor Watson @connorwatson.bsky.social · 2d

Bester; by the end of the series it's like 'Who's Chekov?', he has become more associated with this character, for B5 fans, where he was able to really act. A great character for sure.

Now to get all the other "boys" to follow suit

Just a heads up to protect your account as well as your followers. White House accounts have migrated here in the last few hours. I have blocked every one of their accounts. NOT a coincidence since tomorrow is #NoKings day

Back to protecting the men who are in the Epstein Files!
Release the files, we all know your god-king is all over them.

Every single thing you say is lies.

Connor Watson @connorwatson.bsky.social · 2d

This is what you get when men who have the emotional maturity of a ten year old are running your military.

Release the Epstein files.
Everyone knows your god-king is all over them.

How do we know you're all pedophles?
Because Republicans are constantly being arrested for being pedophiles.

My country elected a billionaire sexual predator criminal President, and now I'm worried my city might elect a billionaire sexual predator criminal Mayor.
Americans just won't fucking learn.

In the show Babylon 5, all Minbari belief is based around three. Three castes Warrior, Worker, Religious, three languages Light, Dark, and Grey, and The Grey Council is 9, 3x3.
A lot of fans overlook that John had three wives; the first was a Warrior, the second a Worker, the third Religious.

I think it's one of the most fun Trek episodes ever. Like Top 5 Fun.

At the end of Star Trek DS9 'Badda Bing, Badda Bang' the Captain sings with Vic, and the crew is all smiles and looks like they're really surprised and having fun.
They are. They didn't know Avery Brooks was going to sing with James Darren, the reactions and emotions are genuine

I tag treksky, even though I think it's pointless, as I see things on it that have literally nothing to do with Trek, and posts on Lower Decks that have nothing to do with Lower Decks, so by that logic, my daily posts about Star Trek will definitely not get noticed by whatever Bot runs Treksky

Wait, the character is whistling the Star Trek theme?
OK, if they've really given up, why wouldn't I?
I watched Dr Who go along this path of dumbing-down ridiculousness loss of quality, I'm not ready for Trek to follow.

Home from work.
Long day on my feet, back pain, chronic pain, upset stomach, lack of energy, general aches, mentally and physically tired

Hey, this is what Strain is from the Star Wars TTRPG; Any effect that impairs a character but does not cause physical wounds

Yet another example of why Conservative Christians can never be trusted with power, they always have and always will use it to hurt people they don't like, which is everyone who isn't them, including women and children, but especially LGBTQ people and POC.
