You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

Sometimes I feel like we're living in the worst timeline, but then a day like this rolls around where we get a Batman/Deadpool Team-Up written by Grant Morrison and a new season of The Earliest Show gets announced and I'm reminded there's still good in the world.

The truth is Jesus could return tomorrow (he'd be brown, just to be clear), Trump would declare him a fake, Jesus would literally heal the sick in public, and the majority of Christians in America would opt to follow Trump.

If you listened to this week's episode, you heard our discussion of Tholian anatomy. Here's how they appeared in the 1989 guidebook Worlds of the Federation, which included this illustration. (Later renderings gave Tholians more of a spider-like lower body.) #startrek #timetravel

Every day, political personalities remind us how much a lifetime of hate can speed up the aging process. Another member of Trump's cabal is in the spotlight this week, and that means it's time once again for a game of "...Wait, that Bitch is HOW Old??"
