That was literally my first thought, too. This is not some random African country that threw off its oppressors after WWII. This is *South Africa, where the oppressors held on until the 1990s. Here's a leader from a country whose racial reconciliation we still haven't come close to replicating, and President ~~Musk~~ Trump thinks the country is too unfair to white people.

The Tesla (sorry, Tesler) ad copy the president read in the White House driveway didn't give it away? This administration can be bought without any strings attached

I'm a middle school teacher. So much social stuff my students are worried about... I really just don't care

American here. Let me just say that this guy is a moron. He thinks that people who rely on social security and complain when there are interruptions in social security payments are fraudsters. He complains about multinational corporations but does nothing to close the legal loopholes in the country to force corporations actually in our borders to pay their fair share. 🙄

I was at a professional development conference offered by my union yesterday. 3/4 of the presenters I went to were using their management-owned accounts (and in one case, a management-owned device!). Now, none of the topics were about unionism--it was all how to be better at our jobs, but I couldn't wrap my head around it... and they put up QR codes for us to access on our phones, and guess what? The links wouldn't work for me because I refuse to put any work shit on my personal phone, so I wasn't logged into my work account, and therefore didn't have permission to view the document. I just could not believe that people were surprised...

I went to an Indian place once and asked the waiter to make my food spicy. It was kinda medium-spicy, and when the waiter asked if it was spicy enough, I--stupid white boy I am--said no. He took the dish back to the kitchen. He returned a little later with the chef. They both watched me take a bite and regret my decision. Through the tears, I told them the Spice was just right. They laughed.

I know a strictly military-focused show goes against Roddenberry's vision, but what are the chances that we could see some sort of war-focused Trek in the future? The scenes in "Under the Cloak of War" (SNW 2x08... yes I'm a few weeks behind) fascinated me. What would a MAS*H-style show look like in Trek? Could the show tell the story of the war exclusively from the medical perspective? Until now, we've only gotten glimpses of war shown through the eyes of our main characters (O'Brien, Nog, Chakotay, Burnham, M'Benga, Chapel, etc) and we've gotten fleet-level looks of battles, but very little on-the-ground coverage of war.

I'd prefer the setting to be some war set some time after PIC--something we as an audience know nothing about. What are your thoughts, Lemmy?
