It's good you didn't hit your head any more times or you might have started blurting out all those repressed innermost feelings live on air. How funny would that be?

If they don't have health insurance they won't get sick so often or need sick days. Surely that will boost productivity.

I notice also that reporters have to repeat their questions. Is his hearing going as well or is it just him not understanding legal terms?

It might be cruel to the sun though

I like that meeting between Carl and Merritt near the very end. Neither are suddenly healed or forge a connection. They just pass each other awkwardly. The character of Akram is also brilliant. So many ambiguities beneath the polite exterior.

the answer to the trolley problem is not to pick who to sacrifice, it’s to dismantle the system that led to an unsafe trolley crossing.

if any part of your morality strategy involves picking a group to let die on a hill, throw the entire strategy out. it’s wrong.

More people should be forced to spend time outside. Literally touching grass every so often might make the online environment less toxic.

Dr Bashir found a special classic cowboy movie to watch with you in his quarters. Something about a mountain with a broken back? Maybe these cowboys are also chiropractors on the side? It's probably a hilarious screwball comedy.

The feet are a major erogenous zone for Lurians. His foot will only start going higher from there. The only solution is to find something to neutralise the guac. Maybe cover yourself in more of the piping hot salsa to burn off the guac.

He has to get his toenails cut. It's a major operation.

That's good to know. I think Nu'Daq fell asleep in there as well. I'm sure Duras will be overjoyed to see him. And smell him after a week stuck inside that shipping crate.

David Ryan @ryangenealogy.bsky.social · 1d

Does that mean I should cancel the shipment of Tribbles to Duras house?

Be careful Chief. Morn has that look in his eyes. You know how guac acts an aphrodisiac for Lurians.

He'll be very happy you hoisted him up to the top of that flagpole by his underwear. What a great way to gain a new perspective

That's what you get for not wearing your fire proof thong for Taco Tuesday. Just watch out for the sharpened taco shells.

David Ryan @ryangenealogy.bsky.social · 2d

While you're up there Chief can you pass down a bit more of the fire salsa

Do you promise not to chase the cat into the tree again and get yourself tangled up in the lights?

David Ryan @ryangenealogy.bsky.social · 2d

You and Dr Bashir have been on that one for a very long time. You must really be practicing.
