A simple question that popped into my head last week (as I write this) that seems pertinent to mention is, “why aren’t we reviewing Picard instead of Lower Deck‘s second season?” Did you watch Picard‘s first two seasons without the rose-tinted specs? Though it seems…

This week is the one with Jet, though not the Jet that men from the 90s continue to think about as they go to bed at night. With Bradward off on heavily serialized battles with a bunch of complex characters which always…

Last week I got a new office chair because the previous one was old and a bit broken. Anyway, this new thing has adjustable armrests, which I never had on the old one because I ripped them off. They were fixed in…
