As with the Newsom Q the answer is “yes but gfy“. Like, at each stage, vote for the least bad thing, it’s not complicated. The “conventional wisdom electability” question, if it was ever relevant, is moot this year with the blue-shifted mood.

Noped out half an hour into Nobody. If I wanted to watch a twelve-year-old's idea of a tough guy I'd just turn on a Hegseth presser.

I just want to give RDM a billion dollars and five years with two mandates:
* don't make religion central to the show
* figure out the ending first

Once he stops crying he'll deliver something amazing.

Way behind, here, but I think I'm tapping out of SNW at S3E06.

Something's gone horribly awry when live action Trek has higher quip density than The Orville. The writing is fractally bad. Nothing makes sense. None of the characters are acting like professionals. Kirk should be court-martialed.

Flying on a NASA mission in lunar orbit, let’s say, not just a boilerplate test flight in LEO.

If we have a Starship-based lunar lander flying in 2027 I’ll, uh, run a lap around the block naked in a Gorn mask.
