I like Starfleet Academy because it's the one iteration of Trek whose showrunners seem to actually have been to the Bay Area

Look, I'm not saying Canada should surround and seize Washington D.C. to save us from fascism. I'm just saying that in case they *do*, I've plotted out three invasion routes they could use without being cut off from certain critical supplies.

If anyone wants to know some US-adjacent bullshit, I just found out from a client that Mexico has recently doubled their permanent resident fees if you want to emigrate there

I really don't get weirdos like JD Vance or Donald Trump who are so desperate for love and accolades

Star Trek is a communist utopia, dog. They achieved world peace through socialism and the elimination of billionaires, my dude. The vision of Star Trek is achieving humanity's true potential by getting rid of you, homie.
