Feels like something I’d read about in WWII.

Wasn’t he the guy who screamed at you if you set funding at like 95%?

Chickens are semi-cannibalistic, and if their eggs are broken, they will eat them.

Or at least I assume this bit of trivia is what Larson is after. Sometimes we think he’s playing 4D chess when he’s a few X’s short of a tic-tac-toe. (And the reverse as well)

On top of the revelation everyone else is having about this comic, I’m noting that Vera is, ostensibly, a chick.

Gotta appreciate the layers.

I find it fascinating how there are so many high profile POIs in that list. Like, specifically that they’re high profile and not from the same line of work.

If you’re working in Hollywood, you’d expect to know stars, but only incidentally politicians. If you’re in DC, the reverse is true.

I mean, it is Larson. Being baffling is kinda his thing, unintentionally anachronistic or not.

That said, so long as Dr. Who is still a thing, folks should maintain a (distorted) understanding. Sort of like those 3D printed save icons.

I hope he’s working on Kid Icarus or even another new project. The man has earned a prolonged vacation from Smash Bros.

Hydroelectric production has dropped by about six percent since last year, causing it to slip from 6.1 percent to 5.8 percent of the total production. Depending on the next couple of months, that may allow solar to pass hydro on the list of renewables.

That’s a little disappointing. Hydro seems to always be forgotten amongst renewable sources. Granted, it’s the most location specific of the renewables, but still.

I hate it when the captions are cut off.

The narrative problem with the kids arriving in Federation territory in a stolen ship was that the Protostar would be impounded and the kids would be sent packing.

They needed a narrative reason to give the kids a chance to command the Protostar and have their own adventures, which means dragging out returning it to Starfleet. But rather than resorting to stalling tactics, they opted to have the kids fight to keep it out of their hands, and for good reason.

With Picard and Discovery, I felt more like that trope was used because the writers had no better ideas on how to keep the stakes high.

With Prodigy, I felt that the stakes were made essential to its premise.

In Prodigy’s defense, they waited the equivalent of two seasons to play that card, and the execution was IMO, better than what we saw in Picard and Discovery.
