ok just watched e1 of starfleet academy and so far my opinion is "i guess im gonna keep watching" but IMO the character interaction/dumbshit student situations shine brighter + are much more compelling than any of the srs plot/drama happening, so i hope it leans further into the former.

By now, asteroid 2026 Dreadstone has impacted the Indian Ocean, sparking a firestorm not seen on this planet since the K–Pg Extinction Event. Most people just want to be with their families. Here are three ways effective business leaders can leverage targeted KPIs to turn tragedy 😔 into triumph 💪

its a pretty self indulgent story but i say that about most things i've been writing recently. i should really reign myself in and write things that are like......technically well-constructed. on the other hand. the people seem to crave my near-shitposting. so who can say what good literature is.
