I have started yet another Lower Decks rewatch, currently on season 1, episode 4.

I think I’ll see about getting one of these next year. Probably not worth that much, but the novelty is pretty neat.
Some excerpts: >In a 78 page ruling, U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez found that a key part of the Texas 2021 omnibus voter legislation is confusing, vague, overly broad, violates freedom of speech along with the 14th Amendment and there is no actual problem of illegal vote harvesting. >"Witnesses were particularly uncertain about how to interpret the terms “physical presence” and “compensation” — neither of which is defined in the statute — and how the Canvassing Restriction impacts organizers’ ability to provide voting assistance during their in-person interactions with voters," Rodriguez wrote. >Under the ruling, the Texas Attorney General’s office can no longer conduct investigations based on the provision. The AG’s office cited it when it recently conducted a series of raids on the homes of Latino voting rights activists and a Democratic candidate for the Texas House. The lawsuit brought by multiple Texas voting rights organizations asked for relief from several parts of SB1. But Saturday’s ruling only concerned the state’s attempt to block assistance with absentee ballots.
If you've never been to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens, I would definitely recommend it. This new addition is geared towards kids, but it sounds like what will be called the Baker Martin Family Garden will be a super cool place to visit once it is completed. >The garden is woven with teaching moments, enhancing the Fort Worth Botanic Garden’s philosophy of nature play, Richardson said. >The garden has a solar system theme, with Earth, Venus, Mercury and Mars exhibits featuring misters to cool people off and create rainbows that children can enjoy, Richardson said. >The last planet featured in the garden is Jupiter. The area around Jupiter will include a shade structure with musical instruments and play equipment that represent galaxies. >The garden also will include more terrestrial features, such as native Texas plants, a plateau and bodies of water. >“We have gone on missions to go out and find the plants that you would see at Big Bend,” Richardson said.

Are there ever any articles that aren’t disingenuous posted in this community?

The times that I do play the game, the world is always full of people, but I have to bet that a majority of this is coming from a small amount of people using the shop. What a crazy amount of money.

This hits very close to home. I’m completely different around people I know well.

I have not yet read this one. Would you consider it a good read?

People have a bad habit of downvoting communities they see in the All feed, when they should either just block the community or scroll passed it.

Sorting by new for me brings up threads that are hours old, so it isn't just you!

I don’t have an answer to your pronoun question, but hearing somebody else’s voice in the log jumped out at me as well. If it has happened before, it is pretty rare.

I wasn't expecting Wesley, but I enjoyed how he was used this season. Considering he was able to fling the Enterprise to a different galaxy with his mind, I didn't see anything in this season that bothered me regarding his "powers".

I'm not sure exactly what I thought was going to be behind the mid 20th century vault door, but it certainly wasn't Wesley Crusher. I didn't hate it either. Was the sweater that he was wearing one that he wore in TNG? It seemed very familiar.
The Loom are terrifying. We've seen "getting erased completely from history" before with the Krenim time weapon (VOY: Year of Hell), but this version seemed so much worse to me.
I loved the bit regarding all the separate realities, including the "oops you aren't supposed to know that" regarding the mycelial plane.
Seeing Janeway take on the Loom by herself in a shuttle reminded me of her taking on the macrovirus in VOY: Macrocosm.

What a ride these two episodes were.
A few of my favorite moments:
- Gillian (the whale!) piloting the ship through the wormhole
- Wesley finally calling his mom, but then showing up behind her as a surprise
- The tie-in to the Picard synth attach at the end where the crew reacts to seeing the Mars attack on the news
- Janeway pushing to continue some scientific and humanitarian missions
I do have a question though. I have been getting "these two people seem to want to get together vibes" in between Chakotay and Janeway starting in the episode "Cracked Mirror". Was this just wishful thinking on my part?
Speaking of relationships, were holo-Janeway and the Doctor flirting?

I want to make sure that I understood what was happening in the scene where the turbo lift door opens and they see an alternate reality... Those were the Enderprizians from "All the World's a Stage", right?
Since we never got a mirror universe episode in Voyager (not counting "Living Witness"), I enjoyed Mulgrew and Beltran getting to give us a quick glimpse of what it would have been like.
I loved the callback from Chakotay regarding the events from the VOY episode "Shattered".

I will say that the Voyager-A is a beautiful ship and I hope we get to see more of her.

I probably should have made comments while watching the episodes, as I'm sure I am forgetting a lot of details, but Prodigy seems to have picked up where it left off with regard to the quality of its episodes.

This is pretty cool and I’m encouraged that county leadership is already looking into ways to get it done.

I never played Fortnite when it came out. I’ve been having a blast getting to know some new (old) weapons in Reload.
I’m also a fan of the remote explosives being used to level entire buildings!

This show was on every day after school on my local PBS channel. I watched it well into high school because I loved it so much. I love how it introduced you to a ton of different stories you may never have heard of otherwise.

No hard feelings! I just see it a lot in a serious manner and you know how well sarcasm carries over the internet.
I honestly understand why people would feel that way, too! The government here is pretty shitty and you always hear nothing but awful stories.

I contribute a bit and as far as I know the only editor that lets you upload pictures is MapComplete, but even then what you can upload them for is very limited. I do not believe OSM actually has an image database. The pictures I’ve uploaded are all stored on Imgur.

I know a lot of people love Alamo Drafthouse, but my experiences with the one south of downtown Dallas were never great.
