SNW is so good I'd sooner toss TOS if forced to choose (which I'm not). The musical episode is vastly better than Turnabout: Intruder.

When I want smaller than my ⚡🚗🍃 Leaf, I ride my ⚡🏍️ Metacycle or my ⚡🛵 niu N-GT.

The Leaf is a reasonable size, the Ioniq 6 as well I think.

Feels like a pretense to discourage protests.

Touché. Hit a nerve, I guess.

I'm pretty sure they only care about their performative solipsism.

It's true, but Idaho, especially the northern Idaho panhandle, is particularly bad. There's a history of white supremacy, with the Aryan Nations compound that was located there, apparently funded in part by Sea Monkeys. Allie Brosh mentions living near them in one of her books.

True, but two copies is one, and one is none. Multiple backups are critical, especially as archive.org has been targeted by the last few book publishers, who want it gone. As politicians and news sites quietly modify their content and hope nobody notices, this should really be a service of the Library of Congress, too.

Weird that we're still doing "heiress", after abandoning "aviatrix", "actress", &c.

I did not attend the funeral, but I approved of it.

Sometimes science intersects with fiction, sometimes it intersects with politics.
