tbqh The Martian is the only (??) piece of semi recent media I can think of that portrays bureaucrats as something other than scheming and/or incompetent
I am tired of outsider rebels. I want to hear about square bureaucrats doing their hardest to improve the lives of The People.
Ah great another show about what if governance is evil

I photographed the Irish acting legend Colm Meaney in his mums back garden for a book I did on Irish actors and writers back in 2012. Such a lovely man and a pleasure to spend time with. Shot in the rain on #35mm #film in #Dublin

My favorite example of this is the Ferengi. They were absolutely a bad joke in early TNG, nothing redeeming or interesting about them. But then DS9 writers had twenty four fucking episodes a season to fill and Quark on the main cast, and goddamn if the Ferengi weren't the best part of that show.

The first episodes of Starfleet Academy are OK, certainly better than Encounter at Farpoint. And I think you could have a good ST series with this premise. Problem is they won't get a chance- ten episodes or less per season just doesn't give you the time to make proper Trek.

i mean, reporting has indicated that this decision was already made *for* him, all of this even-worse-than-usual behavior is him having a crashout tantrum because he isn’t getting what he wants and his emotional self-regulation is completely shredded and wasn’t good to begin with
I'm going to be among the folks going against the prevailing narrative On Here & say Trump really was ruling out using force in Greenland (or Iceland), he's just such a narcissistic crybully that he has to add a "but I totally woulda won if I used force!" (he would not) at the end to soothe his ego.

The brutal truth is that he is an American, to his rotting toes, but also, America is larger and better than him or his fans or the idiots who voted against Harris. It is not a sign of smarts, still less wisdom, to use Trump as synecdoche for America, it just makes you look dumb as fuck.

I mean, it requires you drawing such lines around what, exactly, is "America"? Is it the 31% of eligible voters who made an affirmative choice for him?

two problems with this:
1. in 2024, *every* incumbent party that was up for reelection lost vote share (the first time that's ever happened) which is, I would say, an aberration
2. the back-to-back "I want you in office -> I hate you" cycles suggest something more complex than "people's will"
