Hi new followers! Did you know I host a very silly comedy podcast about #StarTrek Enterprise called EnterpriseSplaining? Each week only 1 of us watches the episode and then tells the others what happened in it. That means you don’t have to watch or remember the show yourself to listen and enjoy it!

well this was a goddamn DELIGHT and i am laughing so hard i'm pretty sure it counts as an ab workout 😹😹😹😹
Happy Thanksgiving! The crew of EnterpriseSplaining is taking a much needed holiday break today from #StarTrekENT, and are instead heading out on away mission to visit the movie that all straight HS boyfriends were forcing their girlfriends to watch in the 90s: Highlander!

For my friends who haven’t ever listened to my podcast because you aren’t into Star Trek, this week’s bonus episode was about Highlander and is an absolute standout of an episode. You don’t have to have listened to the pod before to listen to this episode!

It captures the primal scream I want to let out every time I read more about it.

Olivia Nuzzi is An Embarrassment to Journalism, But Is Also the Monster It Created
Everyone in this story is a nightmare person.

Hegseth gave an order to kill everyone on board. After the first strike, there were two survivors clinging to the remains of the boat — they were not a threat to anyone. But, because Hegseth said not to leave survivors, they were murdered by the US in a second attack.
Gift link. Folks in the DOD and military are actively trying to underbus Hegseth.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

It was so windy yesterday, that today our neighborhood fb group has a lost-and-found post for lost cushions from outdoor furniture. People are posting descriptions of their lost cushions and others are posting info with descriptions and locations of random cushions they have seen on the street.

Since it's a holiday week, heads-up that we will have an episode this week, but not about Star Trek Enterprise! Instead we'll be going on an away mission to visit a movie that every straight HS boyfriend in the 90s was forcing their girlfriends to watch. Trust us, you will NOT be disappointed.

This is such a well researched, in depth timeline of Krauss’s relationship with Epstein. Though, I did a double take when I got to quotes from something I wrote in 2018, bc I have no memory of even writing about Epstein then. But, it turns out I had some good thoughts that withstood the test of time
Mainstream news covered the Jeffrey Epstein emails related to ppl like Trump. Today, I want to take a look at Epstein's correspondence with prominent atheist and physicist Lawrence Krauss, who asked the pedophile's advice on responding to accusations of sexual assault skepchick.org/2025/11/so-i...

I can’t describe how bonkers the memory alpha page for “ball” is. It gives fun ball facts such as that the football was named after the sport of football! And the basketball was named after the sport of basketball! And yes, every one of these amazing facts has a #startrek episode reference attached
On today's episode, we're on a 2nd contact mission, revisiting the ENT episode Canamar, which we realize is actually just the Star Trek version of ConAir (ConAirMar?). Also, in our Mammary Alpha segment, we learn about the absolutely bananas Memory Alpha page for “balls” (no, not THOSE balls).

I’ve done a lot of Epstein File searches today and my favorite find is this pitch from Lawrence Krauss for a tv show called Strange Bedfellows where he puts two people together for a conversation each episode. His first season proposal is a litany of canceled or deeply annoying people.

In our new episode out today, Bill tells us about the #StarTrekENT episode Canamar, a ConAir ripoff (ConAirMar?) where Archer confesses he's a smuggler (GUILTY OF BEING SMUG), Trip gets stuck next to That Guy on a long flight, and while T'Pol is in charge, everyone does their jobs competently.

Me waking up this morning to find someone asking for Diane Warren trivia. I was made for this moment. I knew the many, many hours I spend doing research on useless Diane Warren facts for the @enterprisesplain.bsky.social Diane Warren segment would one day pay off!
How many theme songs has Diane Warren written for stories about spaceships? Is it just two or are there more?

Woodpeckers put their WHOLE BODIES into the peck.
Every time. Super fast! They exhale like they're doing HIIT, their neck muscles tense. They basically become tiny feathered hammers.

Woodpecker hammering is a full-body affair
The birds grunt like tennis pros when generating their rat-a-tat, a performance strategy that may help stabilize core muscles.
