If Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown lets me choose the fate of Tuvix, I'm going to drop a grand piano on his head then chuck him out the airlock.
Janeway would preserve peace, justice, and the ideals of the Federation as she leads her stranded crew back to Earth...
Just don't ask her about Tuvix.

I hope men understand that it is very very rare for anyone who is not a woman’s lover, close friend, or relative to stand up for her when another man insults her in a room of other men. It is incredibly unusual. They may not join in the bullying, but they’re unwilling to step in to stop it.

BREAKING: I'm starting up a new line of games that I'll be putting out on @thegamecrafter.bsky.social. Some will be reprints of older Formal Ferret Games, some of these will be expansions to existing games, and some are going to be brand new.
Of course, I'm calling it Informal Ferret Games.

We all need to say this very clearly:

Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3
