Cardassians are Muppets. None of the Klingons are Muppets.
Founders and Vorta are Muppets but Jem'Hadar are not.

For comparison, every robotic mission NASA has ever sent in its history, from the dawn of the Space Age 65 years ago to today, from Mercury to Pluto and beyond, has cost less than $40B.
I know which one has done more for humankind and which one should be dismantled.

"Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday — known as the country’s cradle of liberty — for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead...some were told...that they couldn’t proceed due to their countries of origin."
Quotas and bounties 😠

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.

160 years ago today, our nation ratified the 13th Amendment, abolishing the horrific institution of slavery.
The 13th Amendment was a defining step toward equality, but our work to build a more just nation continues.

Some days nothing works better to soothe 21st century pains than music that’s a thousand years old. Haunting, strange, utterly remote - and yet because of that sounding at times hypermodern - the music from the 11th century manuscripts of the Winchester Troper is presented beautifully on this album👇
