@MLClark Kate Vernon just showed up. She played Ellen Tigh in Frakkin' Galactica. Her character is named "Valerie Archer." Hmmm. This aired in November 1998. "Enterprise" premiered in September 2001. Just a coincidence. Valerie is flirty, just like Ellen. Maybe it's on Kate's résumé as a skill.

Memory Alpha quotes Nick as saying he was going for an allegory for KGB sleeper villages. Still stretches credulity, in my opinion. (2/x)

@MLClark VOY S5E4 "In The Flesh" ... I already know this one is going to be truly stupid. I've poured myself a vodka shot.

At least we get to see Ray Walston, AKA Boothby.

The notion that Species 8472 would have the ability to create a complete duplicate of Starfleet Academy, along with all the faculty, staff, and students, just to study humanity ... 🤮

Anyway ... Hello, pretty ship.

headline:

"Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also sidestepped a question on whether he takes daily naps"

So what?! Lots of presidents took naps. I take a nap. Humans are meant to take naps. Lots of cultures take naps.

just made a president immune from prosecution, and the press wants to ask if he takes a nap?!

From :

New post-debate poll shows leading 49%-43% among likely voters. 74% of respondents thought Biden was too old for the job.

Post-debate, Trump's "lead among men ballooned to 23 points. That movement was particularly concentrated among younger men and men without college degrees."

When I used to lead tours at and , it was quite common for people to demand privileged access. They insisted I grant them permission to go wherever they wanted. I'd tell them that they'd be arrested at the gate; once I saw someone spread-eagled in the road who had actually tried to run the gate.

Twice I had people walk away from tours and head off down the road. They returned when I started to call the police.

The consensus still has it aiming for Starbase in Boca Chica, but five days to go. The intensity is inconsistent, anywhere from spent to a Category 3.

President Eisenhower had a heart attack in 1955, and a stroke in 1957. The press drumbeat began that he should resign. He didn't.

A July 2, 1944 article questioning FDR's fitness to run for office again.

From The New York Daily News, July 2, 1944 ... The "American Democratic National Committee" threatens to endorse another candidate if FDR is renominated. Hmmm, sounds familiar ...

Why do I have the feeling that, if this were 1944, the headline would read:

"Some Top Democrats Want FDR to Quit Race This Week"

FDR was in worse shape than Biden. The difference was the absence of a televised debate.

Well, that and CNN has gone into the toilet as a news organization.

The next time someone complains about being "old," remind them that Hitler became Führer because President von Hindenberg was "old" at age 86. That sure worked out well, didn't it.
