I remember football fall *used* to start on the Monday after Star Trek Las Vegas when I'd be loading out, glance at the USAToday on the newsrack in the hotel store, and check the first Top 20 poll there in early August.
Seems like we can blame either climate change or 24/7 media for most everything.

This is me re: YouTubers as wellβ€”these 150,000+ -sub channels where the info is unchecked rants or rando urban myth, or murdered misconnected dots...and ESPECIALLY where you never even see a human connection. I get it that not everyone is "made for TV," but c'monβ€”at least a face to intro, or close!

Noβ€” though it needs an update, right?

There's no commercial "PDFs" file... though people with a modem and a printer have been gaming with them for years.... somehow. 😁

The conventional wisdom long before I had the carto-keys just made Ceti Alpha into Alpha Ceti and a real-world placement, and everything in relation has sprung up from there (it was a waaaay long ways out, per the 23rd C speed/distance scales).

I'm so old I remember when we used to just say "OU-Texass" β€” and that was ALL you needed to say.
No fancy taglines, no PC redoβ€” not even "Red River Shootout." #RRR #Sooners

Vague mentions. And even those are mainly thanks to the two-part Gambit from TNG, as they chased the "graven robbers."

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Yeah, that always seemed crazy to be trueβ€” and was never referenced again. Surely, another "corbomite" ploy. And yet, Scotty & Uhura seemed poised to carry it out β€” unless this is an ELABORATE pre-arranged bluff.

That's the *ACA* tax credits, meant to make health insurance affordable (because for all it did, we didn't just go ahead & join the rest of the world with universal coverage. So the Dems got it done (no help) but it was a patchwork. And Big Insurance still gets its middleman's cut from a basic need.

Hey worldβ€”a pro tip:
Asking for a Zoom meeting and then ghosting on it is actually the same as ghosting on a live meeting you asked for. Just sayin.’ πŸ€”πŸ«
