It still burns that Prodigy was barely included in the tribute to Trek animation.

I got the book too! Did you have any luck de-dacting the Rubber Ducky Room pages?

Article mentions nothing with regards to holding corporations accountable nor any plan or threat of action on the president’s part.

Say you did a study that discovered that folks who actively run are statistically unlikely to have respiratory issues. How much of that is because being physically active acts as a kind of preventative maintenance vs how much of that is a kind of self culling, where folks with respiratory issues are unlikely to seek exercise.

The end result is ultimately the same, but the mechanics behind why are different.

Is the wolves’ natural cancer resistance just kicking into over drive, or is natural selection happening?

The researchers discovered that Chernobyl wolves are exposed to upwards of 11.28 millirem of radiation every day for their entire lives - which is more than six times the legal safety limit for a human.

Ms Love found the wolves have altered immune systems similar to cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment, but more significantly she also identified specific parts of the animals' genetic information that seemed resilient to increased cancer risk.

… I really dislike how headlines are designed, not to inform, but even to the opposite in the name of drawing clicks. I realize this isn’t on you, but more the AP, but still.

TL;DR The warning light FONT is too small.

We probably get our best look at penal rehabilitation in Lower Decks' "A Few Badgeys More"

We learn that Daystrom Institute has a facility dedicated to evil robots, but through therapy, and exploration of art, sports, and other hobbies and psych-evaluations they may earn parole, and from there re-enter society.

Peanut Hamper made it to parole, initially as a ruse, but actually ended up taking it seriously.

Agimus is lagging behind her, but also shows signs of sincere reform.

Honestly, while a lot of it was played for laughs, I really appreciated how it really was Star Trek's optimism at its peak. People can be reformed, and are not sentenced to life in a cubical if they are capable of earning it.

I would argue that offering fans a template goes miles towards to how… sandboxy the series becomes. (For want of a better term)

For Harry Potter, it was the whole academic experience. How you got admitted, the personality tests; things that enable a safe starting point and allow the fans to go in their own direction.

With Kingdom Hearts back in the day, it was Organization OCs with powers and weapons that followed a template. Similar with Steven Universe and minerals and weapons.

Dracula, I suppose?

I’m fond of some of the vampire lore the story created that pop culture has completely forgotten… but after Dracula goes on a cruise, the book becomes criminally repetitive and goes absolutely nowhere.
