Just watched the video… it seems like it's asking for Prodigy without acknowledging its existence. 😕

Yeah… he lost the general election, but only by a hair, and a LOT of work went into grabbing last minute votes.

The most dangerous thing you can do is be complacent.

We need to vote and we need to get others to vote.

That kinda makes sense.

Sanctions only work because of pre-existing trade with unscrupulous powers. Similar logic.

It bothers me that I can’t tell if this is because Musk is compromised by foreign powers, or is just that kind of trash.

I wonder who Amazon managed to tick off.

Amazon’s monopoly has been defended by the government up to recently, particularly in the field of ebooks.

Certainly not defending Amazon, but I’m wondering what the full story is.

What actually happened here!?

This one was actually funny?

In layman’s terms, what is happening to the voided properties?

The fact that Trump is appointing the independent feels… conflict of interesty.

Amazon has a tendency to sell certain things, books in particular, at a loss. It’s impossible to undersell Amazon and make a profit.

My understanding is that they’re all betazoids of the Lawaxana variety.

Curious about Boimler looking sad at that padd. My gut guess was it had something to do with Will, but he already thinks he’s dead so….?

The fall was published after Nemesis, and the rules on novels were changed from being self contained to interconnected, and they abandoned the numbered novel system.

Instead of rare bursts of continuity, you get random bursts of discontinuity, as the authors have different opinions on how to portray shared OCs, or takes on an event or its significance.

The numbered books tend to only have anything resembling continuity if the same author is involved. Peter David and John Vornholt come immediately to mind as ones to do that.

A Stitch in Time (By Garak’s actor) also gets referenced, but that book is an extra special case in the franchise.

Outside of the authors referencing their own work, sometimes New Frontier gets referenced: mostly in the form of Zak Kebron (The BEST character to ever happen to Trek) being Worf’s old academy roommate, or in the form of a major disaster hitting the entire quadrant and you get little cuts to various ships…

But never anything of substance.
