TNG had a perfect ending, then it had a bunch of disappointing endings, and Picard season 3's main job was to somehow finagle it back to having a good ending.
Season 3 is one long apology for Star Trek: Generations and on that basis I support it

I'm sorry but this just happened, it wasn't three years ago.
The third and final season of Star Trek Picard began 3 years ago today with "The Next Generation".
So this is the anniversary of the USS Titan-A!

Oh goddammit, Frederick Wiseman too? So many canon entries, but I have a special affection for The Store (1983). Rest easy to a giant.

I thought I was being incredibly smart stocking up on my favorite pen but now I have a dozen dried-out, never used pens.

All art is inherently political. John Tesh made a strong statement to flat earthers with "Round ball rock"

I just realized that I was taught in an environment closer to "art has to have a political message."
Lotta “art shouldn’t be political” takes going around (including from faculty at my art program) and I just have to say: wow fuck that

Bane was invented to destroy Batman, but instead became my best friend.
Can you think of examples where people use technologies differently from what the developers intended, whether unintentionally or as an act of resistance?

I still think the internet is the best comp for AI. It was a bubble that popped, but the underlying tech turned out to be real. It enabled a bunch of psychosis and slop, but also some genuinely cool stuff. Massive labor market disruptions, but employment levels look about the same.

Like how Jack McCoy was written as a cad for half a season.
got back to early L&O and forgot that in Lennie’s first episode they were like “what if this guy’s a little racist”

A few days too late for Burt Reynolds’ birthday but I was looking at the Dom DeLuise cookbook Eat This…It’ll Make You Feel Better! and found the recipe for Burt’s beef stew.

FYI the real trouble you can get in is if you don't *file* your taxes. If you file but don't/can't pay, they can basically just charge you interest, at a rate that is lower than most credit cards.
Everyone should not pay their taxes and when they get audited just shriek ‘BUT the Dow… but the Dow is over 50,000’ over and over
