Happy TACO Tuesday, what kind are y'all having today? Normally we do meatless Monday but couldn't this week, so it's potato and black bean tacos with homemade tortillas on tonight's menu.
why should homosexuality be an actual contention point in Star Trek in 2026?
Because like it or not, homosexuality and transexuality are still very real points of contention on Earth in 2026. And Star Trek has always been about discussing and pushing back against those kinds of intolerances.
Disclaimer: yeah Klingons are fictional and can be whatever we want them to be. And I celebrate and have no issue with Star Trek's continual inclusion of queer characters.
But would it really be so bad if Klingons did not have the same moral and cultural values that humanity does? I think it would make a far more interesting show. It's easy to preach tolerance and acceptance when everyone is culturally more or less the same, but it's a much deeper moral dilemma when there are fundamental differences in the way they view the universe.
And would be much more analogous to cross-cultural differences on Earth today.
Not another 10%, a new round of tariffs at 10%. Notice how it's only that amount and not 150% because these ones are capped at 15%, plus these can only be in place for 150 days under the law they used.
I'll just watch the condensed version tomorrow.
