- Comment on Laos government pledges justice in mass alcohol poisoning case that has killed 6 tourists 1 month ago:
It’s a big deal because it’s a bunch of white people who died.
More Lao kids will die this year from unexploded ordinance left over from an undeclared war where the US dropped a planeload of bombs on the country every eight minutes around the clock, every single day, for nine years.

- Comment on Star Trek: Section 31 to Premiere January 24 2 months ago:
No, I didn’t want a dark Section 31 series based on the Discovery/Picard “Dark Trek” writing style.
Michelle Yeoh winning the Oscar was an easy cop out. Now she’s in another league in terms of salary, and Paramount can’t afford to pay her for a streaming series. Both sides go their separate ways and the idea is dropped.
Fortunately for us, she loves the character and wanted to do at least one final act. So I guess the compromise is the movie instead of the series.
And that is cause for optimism because it likely means the script was good enough to draw her back, and concise enough that the Section 31 thing won’t be dragged out.
Hey, we’re finally getting a new Trek movie, and it has a big name actress behind it.
- Comment on Star Trek: Section 31 to Premiere January 24 2 months ago:
I was kind of hoping that after 2023, she would decide to not do this. I think Michelle Yeoh is fantastic, generational actress; but I’m highly skeptical of recent Star Trek works. She is by far the biggest name to return to the franchise.
Hopefully, they have an excellent story to match.

Having a good memory and getting older.
- Comment on Happy Star Trek Day! What was your first contact? 3 months ago:
I was too young for most of TNG but stuck with TNG sometime in season 6. I was a kid with single digit age when they destroyed the Enterprise D in the movie and it really messed with me. Then I grew up watching the entirety of DS9 and Voyager, and outgrew it by the end of VOY. Strange New Worlds pulled me back in as an adult.

- Comment on installing awnings? 5 months ago:
I have never seen these before just now, but if I had them on my house, I would hang viney plants in baskets from them and let it grow in such a manner that it creates a canopy.
