This post is a skill check for how terminally online you are.

And I passed. Fuck.

CRAZY!

And you may find yourself living in a starship bunk

And you may find yourself in another part of the galaxy

And you may find yourself behind the helm of a large delta flyer

And you may find yourself in a beautiful holodeck, with a beautiful holo-wife

And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?”

And the answer is pretty simple, it was the caretaker.

I love Lower Decks a lot. You can spot the exact moment the exec who was demanding “make one of them Rick and Morties with this old sci-fi shit we have” left the room and the writers all went “okay so we’re gonna do a very targeted Star Trek comedy now, yeah?”

The DS9 episode was wonderful.

Going off 20+ year old memories so I’ve probably got some stuff wrong, but basically there was an evil guy literally named Hacker (who in my head was voiced by Christopher Lloyd?) who was trying to infect the program lady who was in charge of everything with a virus. The actual episodes were basically just “uh oh Hacker is up to some bullshit, time to stop him in some way that will involve math.”

Smae. Some of it is probably learned from her goofball idiot caretaker, but I’m just gonna say one of us has lost a fight with the ceiling and it wasn’t me.

Edit: this made me realize I’ve never actually tried to fight the ceiling. Hold on gotta test, will report back.

If anyone needs to know how that word is pronounced.

Genuinely struggling to tell if the intended moral is: “women smart men dumb,” “twinks smart jocks dumb,” or “eat slowly or you’ll make yourself sick.”

Honestly the realization that capitalism is the root cause of our current systemic evils, and finding a good organization to fight back against it with did me a world of good mentally. Way better than agonizing over every tiny decision I made because I’d been tricked into thinking that climate change was my individual fault and responsibility to fix.

Peach guest staring in Mortal Kombat 3 was one of the most wild crossovers. The fatality with that chain chomp was gruesome.

SO. I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all is that I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing, a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the entire alpha quadrant. So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it.

Computer. Erase that entire personal log.

If I had to guess, I’d say it’s because he was drawn by Pen Kenders

The tipoff for me was that no actual graffiti artist is going to write “LOL❗”. That’s out of touch marketer terminology.

They’re still pigs. Guinea pigs, but still.

Yeah, the “Fulu” bit was a little on the nose but it was surprisingly good overall. I’m still worried about the rest of the season given the names of the episodes, but hopefully they’re good.

Ginsburg when asked why her interpretation of the constitution included fucking over native Americans.

Bad metaphor. Unlike corporations, trans people are valid.
