DS9 is a mass of contradictions, and anyone who claims to have fit it into a neat idealogical box is clearly just ignoring whatever didn't fit.

Or as I like to call it, Giant Freakin' Robot With Very Tiny...Brain.

Tig Notaro becoming one of my favorite Star Trek actors was a nice surprise, and lord knows I could use more of those in these hellish times.

Everyone who thought Tig Notaro was just stunt casting should now sit down and be quiet. #StarfleetAcademy

Remind me again why Iran is shooting at ships? Oh right. Because we started a war.

Watching The Night Manager S2 just a couple of months after its release, the ending hits that much harder, given the unholy mess the world is in at this moment. I was not ready. But the Calva-Hiddleston heat? Wow.

T'Pol is one of my fave Star Trek characters, full stop. The writers threw so many curve balls at Blalock and she just kept hitting them out of the park, eventually transforming Trip/T'Pol from a titillating B plot to one of the most touching story arcs in all of Trek.

"How am I going to sell my house with this crap in my backyard?" ICE wants to turn warehouses into detention centers. The suburbs are fighting back.

Renaming it Dept of War should have been a massive clue.

Making you accept cookies before you hit the paywall is a metaphor for this crappy society we’ve built. You’re made to give up your rights thinking you’ll get something worthwhile in return, but instead you get a door slammed in your face.

I just found out that Peter Weller said he combined Elia Kazan, Adam Ant, and Jacques Cousteau to create Buckaroo Banzai, and the insane thing is, it makes perfect sense and I can only ask myself, how did I not realize that?

No better metaphor for what association with Trump gets you than the guys who won Team USA's first gold medal since 1980 being forever remembered as the sad losers who were served cold McDonald's and bottled water at a lunch Trump didn't even bother showing up to.

They’re passing a voter ID law where the only valid IDs are the friends we made along the way.

It just shows that he absolutely does know that tariffs are taxes on Americans.

Add to the many ways Alysa Liu has impacted our culture the fact that she is responsible for many of us discovering the difference between a frenulum and a frenum piercing.

Starfleet Academy: Ko’zeine = Amok Time, but with talking instead of fighting, and the slash is in the text. I appreciate when writers use callbacks to Trek lore in ways old fans will get but new ones don’t have to.

Trump singles out Kavanaugh for lavish praise, in case anyone doubted how far up Trump's ass Kavanaugh is.

Trump is mad cuz taxing the middle class indirectly through tariffs was how he cut taxes for the rich, and now he'll have to either raise those taxes some other way, or further cut government expenditures on basic services, and voters will not like either option one bit.

They keep proving over and over they'll say whatever serves their underlying agenda. They have no real belief in states' rights, secure border, small govt, free speech, election integrity, etc. They just roll that shit out when it suits them, and when it doesn't, they roll it right back.

I've done dozens of Visibility Brigade & other misc anti-Trump/ICE actions, and every time someone feels the need to rage at us - not just flip the bird or yell a quick slogan, but really go off in a red-faced fury - it's a white man in his 20s-30s. Every. Single. Time. These guys are not ok.
