Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Meanwhile, on Paramount’s news side, this is the Ellison vision — and some discussion from the Guardian about its viability.

This smacks of the elusive silent majority that people with questionable opinions claim to have behind them. They just put a number on it. And who would have believed that this number could be made up? (Rhetorical question)

As a Star Trek fan, one could only hope that they get so tired from culture warring on the news front that they leave the entertainment part relatively unencumbered. If only that wasn't so cynical a take.

The next Star Trek will showcase the greatness of the Terran Empire and how it fared so much better than the Federation in the 32th century.

After the headline, but before the article I thought - Define "center" or Ellison's, The Guardian's and the public polls and opinions are worthless.

My second thought was here is another public figure trying to influence a public conversation whose only qualification is being so rich as to be completely out of touch with reality.

My thought was ‘centre as compared to what’?

The Overton window has been intentionally moved over the past decade, Even before, that what might be considered ‘centre’ in the US, even ‘centre-left’ didn’t align well with other OECD countries.
