Live Fast And Get Fucked or whatever

One really funny thing about Worf is his significance in Klingon politics. Like he has no official position in their government but he’s stopping civil wars, killing politicians for personal and political reasons, conspiring to rig elections, etc. His brother is on the high council and the only reason Worf himself isn’t on it is because the truth about his father would fuck up this already fragile society. He is making political decisions that affect the entire Klingon empire. He’s basically Klingon nobility. But he still spends most of his time on the Enterprise making suggestions that Picard doesn’t listen to.

On April 5th 2063, within minutes of the Vulcan ambassadors’ arrival to Earth, the Wikipedia page for The Fermi Paradox was edited to include the words “was”, not “is”.

Given how fast wikipedia updates I can see that happening. Maybe. Assuming that one of the potential Very Fast Updaters of the future lives in a place with reliable enough internet access post WW3.

There’s a heated argument in the discussion section between people who haven’t heard yet.

What is it about Benjamin Sisko that makes a certain type of guy go insane about him? Dukat and Eddington spend every waking moment facetiming him like "Oh, you want to fuck me so bad..." Meanwhile Ben is thinking like "chili would be good tonight..."

I really wish that more pre-reform/pre-surak fics leaned into cyberpunk instead of going for "shirtless men with spears". Like if I'm being honest, it feels like people sometimes turn vulcans into the "noble savage" trope. Which is, I cannot stress this enough, very weird. You're writing about spacemen and you're somehow managing to be racist against native people. And like. I don't think it's deliberate, and I'm aware that this conception of vulcans has been around for decades and that many people have just kind of picked it up by osmosis, but. Like. It's not great. It is, dare I say, a little bit problematic. It also isn't at all accurate to canon? People just made that up. Because Surak died in the 4th century, just about 2000 years before canon, and do you know what his cause of death was? Radiation poisoning. When they say, "vulcans were extremely violent pre-reform, and nearly wiped themselves out," they don't mean they were having tribal battles on the backs of sehlats or whatever. They mean they were having nuclear warfare.
