I would argue that very little good science fiction tries to have nothing to say about humanity or the human condition.

I'll take it a step further and say it's impossible for any fiction, let alone sci-fi.

If you're writing a story, you have something to say, and to claim otherwise is either a cover-up or profound ignorance of your own work.

From her publicity blitz for the episode, I don't think she's too excited to go through the prosthetics process again.

Honestly, it was never a big issue in my area - I'm just impressed that they're pursuing a housing-first strategy, and seem to be making some headway.

Overall? Pretty good.

I think Kinew's tendency towards populism is irritating at best, and dangerous at worst. He's committed some real unforced errors with his comments about lawyers, and I think their performance on the environmental file is very poor indeed.

But I'm impressed with their progress on the homelessness file, and they seem to be accomplishing something in health care, though there's still a long way to go.

Could be much worse.

Hell, LaGuardia has ASDE-X installed. The fire truck in question did not have a transponder, rending a significant portion of the system pretty useless in this case.

It's unclear whether any of the ground vehicles at LaGuardia are equipped with the transponders, or at least it was unclear the last I heard.

I can confirm that the ships are available individually, currently 2400 Zen each.

I'm not sure what you mean by "legitimate," but I'm in a bit of a grocery desert that's only served by the big players. But there are loads of corner stores and convenience stores in the city.

You already said "while true" - you don't need to be the embodiment of "it's all getting soured."

Okay, so why derail the conversation away from the actual topic?

This article really isn't about DW, though - which is why I shared it here, and not in the DW community - it's more about...gestures broadly at the entire internet

I think Shatner is complicated because (a) he's 95 years old, and can't be expected to be fully "in touch," and (b) he has definitely had some questionable people handling his social media over the years.

I would never disrespect Bill Watterson like that.
