🙃 I've clearly been gearing up to the tricky stuff this week: private equity & KKR's acquisition of S&S on Tuesday, the many political grifts in modern economics today, &... this weekend, for our first big book club post on KSR's Ministry for the Future, carbon quantitative easing: the idea, the challenges, the possibilities.
But for now my brain is going whir, whoosh, & sometimes brrrp! so first, switching gears: a review to polish for Strange Horizons, then the last of SNW🖖to take with lunch.
@MLClark A friend is coming over tonight for dinner and the SNW finale.
@MLClark Good morning ... Sent you a DM.
"Hegemony" borrows, of course, from "Aliens" but it also borrows from the opening scene in "Galaxy Quest." S3E1 needs to begin with Pike ordering, "Activate the Omega 13." 🤣
Why are these colonies always like "20th Century Midwest United States"? Why not 21st Century Medellín, Colombia?
We won't see Part 2 until after the WGA/SAG strikes are settled, a very long time.

Oh, I'm so glad you'll get to watch it with a friend! This is one episode I really wish I'd had a fellow Trekkie over for, but Colombia doesn't have many, alack.
Have a lovely evening with this one! It's more than a Trek episode, but even its other references are added with great care for core aims.
