We get major insights into the other characters in those 8 episodes and James Darren is fabulous as that character.

DS9 S6E19: most of the ep is a monologue from Capt. Sisko. Very good episode where we see him struggle with the ends justifying the means and get even more depth from Garek.

S6E20: Much lighter. 1st of 8 episodes featuring Vic Fontaine, a hologram that they give a full character arc to in that 8.

The humanity!

He's been in the prison nearly a year and spent 2 years in a county mail before taking his plea. The state prison is such a horror show, where my brother has it better than many inmates, that it nearly makes the Marion county jail (where he nearly did the fiber optic cabling; irony) look humane.

Absolutely 100% this. Correct in every syllable.

Although I've had a lot of thoughts about this thread each time it has popped back up for me, the one I keep coming back to is wondering how much of "ask culture vs. guess culture" also intersects with neurodivergence, which is a thing I've never really thought about before.

A while ago I bought the Mudita Kompakt, which is an e-ink screen phone that isn't full on "dumb phone", but which also doesn't have the google play store on it. It's got a few built in apps and I sideloaded Beeper for messaging. I forward my number to it and try to use it when outside of work hours

It must be interesting to live in a world where there were no events that happened longer ago than maybe 5 years (or 5 months), at least not ones you have to know anything about.

There were some folks in Czechoslovakia and Austria who might object to "first" there, but at least they didn't have to be the guinea pigs for blitzkrieg.

I went to the trouble last week of getting a prescription for it from my doc. I'm leaving in a few minutes to actually get it and I'm slightly miffed that I went to that trouble for nothing.

I couldn’t find any information about this on the news sites, only on Nola.gov, but you don’t need a prescription anymore to get a COVID-19 vaccine in Louisiana. Spread the word, a lot of people were probably not going to the 💉because of that dumb restriction that was in place.

It’s definitely all connected, which is why I think we should be doing all of it. I could be wrong about the belief that the other stuff all disappears without a stable climate, but right now that’s my baseline assumption.
