Thanks for playing, all! The answer (revealed after many filler paragraphs, of course) is E: it was not as good as the writer remembered.

It reminds me too much of the time several of my co-workers were turned into small cubes and crushed into dust by ancient beings from the Andromeda Galaxy, and I just cannot deal.

A Screenrant headline: "The 1966 Episode That Made Me Love Star Trek Is Hard to Watch Today"

A Screenrant headline: "The 1966 Episode That Made Me Love Star Trek Is Hard to Watch Today"

Clickbait multiple choice! Why is this episode "hard to watch today"?

a) It's not available on streaming
b) It's kinda sexist and/or racist
c) My eyesight is worse than it used to be
d) I can't watch it today because I'm busy but maybe tomorrow?
e) It's not as good as I remember

Tsk, even when you correct the typo, it's still incorrect -- should have been "pervert", not "perverse"

This seems right in line with other right-wing jurisprudence, such as "even though it's been the norm for years and years with no issues, now that I'm thinking about it the idea of a trans woman using women's bathrooms bothers me, therefore it should be illegal"

This interpretation makes "I'm not leaving unless you come with me" VERY ominous (though honestly it's sketchy no matter what)

This was a really fun conversation. I donโ€™t get too many chance to talk about puzzles as independent media, but I really believe in the point and Phil is a pretty brilliant interlocutor.

A headline from Mother Jones: Anti-Vax Groups Struggle to Explain How Tylenol Fits In With Their Whole Thing

A headline from Mother Jones: Anti-Vax Groups Struggle to Explain How Tylenol Fits In With Their Whole Thing

A paragraph from that Mother Jones article: Since President Trumpโ€™s rambling Monday announcement about the supposed cause of autism and a purported new treatment, anti-vaccine groups have grappled with what the administrationโ€™s latest revelations mean for their movement. While some MAHA activists appeared to be overjoyed that the president had brought their cause to a national stage, others were frustrated that it was Tylenol, and not vaccines, that took the brunt of the blame.

Guys, if you can't pivot your entire worldview on a dime to accommodate the latest piece of incoherent cognitive dissonance, I have to question your commitment to even being a conspiracy theorist

Yesterday's piece from @jamellebouie.net is the only high-profile piece I've seen that specifically discusses the watchlist, its effect on academics, and its effect on public attitudes toward academia as a whole. (gift link)
