Deep Space Nine scene. Jake Sisko is sitting facing us at a table on DS9 station. He's having a chat over juice with Nog, a young ferengi with giant ear lobes. Nog is in Starfleet uniform and facing away from us. Jake is wearing normal guy space clothes. Jake looks animated and talking with hand gestures. Closed caption reads, "I'm human--I don't *have* any money." ('Have' is in italics)

Star Trek Discovery scene. Michael Burnham and Book (Cleveland Booker) (see, my theory is that his nickname "Book" stems from his last name "Booker" but this is unconfirmed) are sitting and having a chat at the navigation consoles of a ship. Not the Discovery, some smaller kind of ship. First picture focused on Michael Burnham, closed caption reads, "What is it like, feeling everything?" Second picture focused on Book, closed caption reads, "Uncomfortable." Alt is in pic 1!

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Ok so we're off starship here and we're in a older style structure/setting, like concrete walls with inlaid designs and some stained glass maybe in the background. Centered on camera is a guy. He's wearing a white turtleneck shirt under a ruffly sikly black robe, but it all looks formal and fancy. He's a redhead, his hair is buoyant, and he has a thick and spongy red beard. Could easily be a yacht rock artist from the 80s. He's looking forward with a 'manifest destiny' kind of fire in his eye. Closed caption reads, "I am the anarchy of lust."

I swear I cannot be influenced at all, but for some inexplicable reason I keep saying "my chungus life" now

Just found out my roommate places her bags on the hood of my car when waiting for her ride, so now I guess I know where the paint damage came from...

Every year my life is 10 months in Texas 2 months in Ohio.

Guess which part does all the heavy lifting in the Not Wanting to Kill Myself department.

Instead of investing in AI we need to be committing to important things, like how to make diesel and electric trains go chugga-chugga like their steam-powered ancestors did.
Norman Rockwell's Freedom of Speech painting, depicting a blue-collar middle-aged white (presumably American) man standing up and speaking during a public meeting, surrounded by seated attendees.
