That's interesting. I'm no spaceologist, but I wonder if that's consistent with our observations of the universe. My cursory searches lead me to believe that there's just a boatload of ice out there. I'll have to rewatch Voyager at some point, and see what the technobabble explanation is.

I think Seska was an interesting character who was ultimately hampered by her association with the Kazon. The Kazon were poorly-designed antagonists; there was nothing compelling about them, either politically or aesthetically. I love Voyager, but it's a real slog getting through Kazon space.

Maple MAGA would've been in charge if the USA didn't have their election first.

You're welcome, I guess? Best of luck to you, sincerely. I really hope that Raiders of the Lost Ark villain you've got up there never gets his clammy little hands on the levers of power. It's mind-boggling how little charisma these grifters have. Really makes me question its value as a stat.

Right? As if I needed any fucking help doing that.

Great podcast where they go through the series, and interview some of the actors—Patrick Stewart and Patricia Quinn are definitely in there. https://maximumfun.org/podcasts/i-podius/

Thank you; I made the alex jones connection right after I commented. Feels like it also works as a grim joke at the usa's expense!

I'm unfamiliar with this medal, but can only assume it's intended to commemorate the US losing the information war. Seems a bit macabre.

I hated Myst as a kid. Not just because I disliked the gameplay, but because its inexplicable popularity heralded a shift in the adventure game market. Instead of more Sierra or LucasArts-type games, there were, for years, scads of shitty, boring Myst-likes.

I was on the ride last summer, and the only name that I remember being mentioned is Davy Jones, of mythical locker fame. They did add him to the ride in 2006, but he was created for the movie in 2003.

I thought this had come out already? All the garbage is blurring together.

I'm only acquainted with her being a TERF. Is she a tankie, as well? That seems like an unlikely ideology for a billionaire to espouse.
