Cosign everything you said, and I’d like to thank you for providing my internet rabbit hole for the night (“What is a milkshake duck?”).

Meyerowitz Stories deserves a nod here, too. 

I wish Paul’s neighbor would just kick his ass again.

He asks why they didn’t start the Biden interview asking if he was ready for some tough questions. Uh, maybe that’s because they know he’ll actually answer them, not whine like a petulant toddler that the nasty person is being so mean to him.  

Tangentially related:

I know there’s a lot of overlap, but I really wonder how Republican doctors square: “first, do no harm” with “first, do all the harm”.

If they aren’t essential workers, I don’t know who is?.....I really can’t stand people. You do NOT need to sit on santa’s lab this christmas. Not essential.

If they didn’t offer the same deal to Hanukah Harry, I’m saying it’s because of anti-Semitism. 

This is good.

I voted for Joe Biden. I received an email confirmation for my mail-in ballot.

I always feel like it’s being raised in a way or in a community that’s so insulated that you never question beliefs, and then are terrified by the prospect of that way of life being wrong or not being like that forever. I was raised in a devoutly Evangelical southern baptist household that was also devoutly…

Trump didn’t do a very good job of articulating what he was talking about to people who haven’t been following foreign policy and foreign affairs since the second Obama administration.

vivid, but not inaccurate, description.

So it feels important to point out that Welker didn’t have control of the mute button. Also, did 100x better than Chris Wallace. But she did definitely let Trump steamroll over the time limits and could have probably done better calling out some of the more obvious ridiculousness. Overall, though, I thought she did…

I am loving the Make the Federation Great Again plan for the season. Saru shooting Zara with his head needles was awesome.

What’s up with Detmer? I can’t remember how advanced her implant is, but I’m wondering if they’re laying the groundwork for Control to come back.

I suppose they could just be going with an ‘exploring trauma’ situation with Detmer (since they ruled out concussion) but it definitely feels like something more is up. Perhaps Control or perhaps something came along for a ride from the wormhole (certainly not our first ‘wormhole aliens’ after all).
