I also really appreciated Worf and Martok's take on Garak's struggles with claustrophobia

Martok: There is no greater enemy than one's own fears.

Worf: It takes a brave man to face them.

That's one of my favorite details of this scene; if you look behind him, you can see other buckets staggered out toward the sea.

They laid out stepping buckets so he could walk all the way there himself 😂

Schools in the US don't all follow the same schedule; it varies drastically state to state, and can even vary by district within any given state.

Why is that relevant?

To be fair, it only became Microsoft-owned after it had already become that home.

If they keep it for themselves, yes.

Yeah, I think the only thing about this outcome that would bother him is that he didn't see it coming. The guy was in the doctor business to flex intellect and solve puzzles; the whole "saving people" bit was incidental.

Ah shit, here we go again.

"Not for me" != "bad"

That's a blog post, not an article.

Why don't you give this one a read: https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/08/researchers-find-llms-are-bad-at-logical-inference-good-at-fluent-nonsense/

Or, even better, why not read the actual study: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.01191

Is it possible you're thinking of that time Jon Stewart was on Tucker Carlson's show, rather than vice versa?

Vance, too, has recently been questioned about Trump’s ties to Fuentes. Vance was asked about Fuentes’ dinner with Trump during an interview with ABC News on Sunday. “The one — the one thing I like about Donald Trump, Jon, is that he actually will talk to anybody,” Vance told ABC News’ Jonathan Karl. “But just because you talk to somebody doesn’t mean you endorse their views. And look, I mean Donald Trump spent a lot of quality time with my wife. Every time he sees her, he gives her a hug, tells her she’s beautiful and jokes around with her a little bit.”

JD Vance is apparently so comfortable with Trump openly flirting with his wife right in front of him that he'll happily bring it up unprompted in an interview.

This part:

She isn't; she's referring to the time Trump told Israel they "have to finish this up" in a published interview..

Seasons are more regional and varied than you might think

I think this article does a good job of exploring and explaining how LLM attempts at text summarization could be more accurately described as "text shortening"; a subtle but critical distinction.

Damn, so close

I rewatched that episode just this evening, and completely agree; fantastic scene. Dukat is a delightful villain throughout the series, but this is one of his pinnacles of bastardy.

Imaginary Kira supporting his twisted logic was a nice touch, too; "Being reasonable only made us bolder"

I'm not sure whether or not the android Data could be considered autistic from an in-universe perspective, but I would say that as a character Data was inspired by autistic humans and written in a way that neurodivergent viewers would empathize with. At least that's how he's always come across to me, as a neurodivergent trekkie.

I grew up in a very white community.
