Spoiler alert for a mid Star Trek episode from 2004ish - the point of divergence was that some aliens killed Lenin and without the Bolsheviks coming to power the Nazis steamrolled Europe, which was a surprising detail for an American show to make.

I didn’t follow it past season one, but only because it seemed like they were going to not follow up on all the trippier aspects of the short story that came from all the meditation and/or drugs Dick was doing when he wrote it.

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

Still chugging away at Silksong. I have like four bosses all flagged on my map that I just don’t want to fight so I keep exploring to find upgrades. Gonna have to bite the bullet and spend a whole day finally killing one of them sooner or later though. What an odd dynamic this game has.

“Average musician makes $12 a month on Spotify.

Yeah, but last time I beat a boss (farmer) to gain a new item to give me new movement options (stealing his tractor) I got soft-locked (arrested).

The government is supposed to be shut down. How are they paying some racist teenager to start posting under a bunch of new accounts on here?

utterly depressing that Nixon-level scandals are now a normal Friday night news drop, barely remarked upon, just another day in Trump’s America

I keep finding out about weird “anti-woke” off-brand Reddit communities this week. Yesterday I was recommended a “no politics“ Battletech subreddit, and when searching for a rules question I found a Magic: the Gathering one. I guess at least these kinda guys don‘t seem to be welcome elsewhwere.

since we're letting podcasters run the FBI now, I'd like to make it known to any future presidents that if you appoint me i will pronounce the "human" in "human trafficking" like Quark from DS9.

there will be no other substantial changes

thank you for your attention to this matter
