Robbie McNeill answered some of the BIG #StarTrekVoyager questions on the All Access Star Trek podcast, like "Should Janeway and Chakotay have gotten together?" (And did they, already?)

Listen to the full interview at TrekMovie or wherever you get your podcasts.

I need Democrats to come out and act like attack dogs.

Yes, Republicans keep doing bad things, everyone around the world is seeing them do it every single day.

Grow a spine and rip them a new one.

Democrats are here and we’re ready to work in a bipartisan way to keep government open, lower costs and save health care.

a tweet by Todd Stashwick (@ToddStashwick):
I will always contend that the best Star Trek is the one you like the most. When and how and with whom Trek came into your life is a varied as the viewers who watch. The need to tear down something someone else loves says more about you than it does about it. Boldly go and enjoy.

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

Star Trek: The Next Generation started 38 years ago today.

The future began again at this (Encounter at Far)point.

Newspaper advertisement for the U.S. premiere of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Specifically, this ad was for its broadcast on the New York station WPIX on the week of its debut. The headline, "TONIGHT, THE 24TH CENTURY BEGINS WITH A SPECTACULAR TWO-HOUR MOVIE," refers to the series' double-length pilot episode, "Encounter at Farpoint."

Couldn't take Chicago, so he's going after Portland. Like a high school bully that got bodied by a wrestler so he tries to take it out on a theater kid. Pathetic.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show opened on US screens 50 years ago today. Initially a major box office bomb, cult cinema outsiders and queer audiences quickly took up the film’s mantle and turned it into a unique and exciting way of engaging with the movies. Remember kids, don’t dream it—be it!!

your favorite TNG character is you in the streets and your favorite DS9 character is you in the sheets

Lwaxana Troi played by Majel Barrett showing up nude to her wedding in Ten Forward on the Enterprise D. Her facial expression is wry and defiant.

Lwaxana Troi talking to Odo on DS9. Her hair is an impressive coif of red curls and she is wearing a blue lacy dress.

Dear Democrats in Congress: Please stop taking about working with Trump. He is a fascist who is coming for our freedoms. You are normalizing his fascism by speaking of working with him. What we need is for you to take the FIGHT to Trump every day!
Thanks
