I agree on all counts.

Lower Decks is a five-season love letter to Trek and fandom. It sometimes even manages to hit pretty hard. And the crossover with Strange New Worlds is my favorite Trek episode ever, and I’ve been literally watching Trek since I was a baby (my mom is a big fan, and watched the original series all the time when I was a kid. It was a relief when Next Gen came out, because, yay, new Trek!). “Those Old Scientists” was a joyous celebration of Trek fandom on every level.

As for Powerless, yes, it was massively underrated. It was a tribute to superheroes and how ridiculous they are while still being loving toward them. It was a shame we didn’t get more of that series.

I have no hope, only fantasies that people will come to their senses someday. Hope? Nah.

Bad news about depression. The clinical kind? The stuff you’re describing? We don’t have a cure yet. We have stuff that will alleviate symptoms and allow a person to live an almost normal life, but it doesn’t cure it. Worse, you might find a medication that seems to fix it, but your body may eventually adjust to it and the depression will come back.

Talk to your psychiatrist. They should have some suggestions that might help.

I’ve had to deal with depression my entire life. The fight is constant and real. Don’t give up.

“That was left-handed!”

So instead we’re going to have to listen to half-baked conspiracy theories for the next few years in addition to everything else. Gah!

Easy enough to disprove. Do the hand recounts in the supposedly affected states. If those hand recounts aren’t done, there’s going to be a lot of progressives who spend the next four years looking as lunatic as the “stop the steal” people - with the difference being that there was a really easy way to disprove the lunacy that wasn’t used, whereas the “stop the steal” was disproven multiple times and even went to court repeatedly.

So, what I’m saying, just do the damn recount so we can put this thing to rest.

She’s trying to extort her fellow Republicans into not releasing the report, not realizing that the public is saying, “HELL YEAH!” at the suggestion. What’s sad is it might actually work, and they won’t release anything.
