I love Robert Picardo and I think itβs fucking embarrassing that internet reply guys are arguing with him that itβs even possible for Star Trek to be too progressive.
Infinite diversity in infinite combinations is quite literally one of the primary concepts in the entire franchise.
Iβm convinced that the same folks shitting bricks over diversity in Starfleet Academy would have shit bricks over all the other things that Star Trek has done in the past to push the envelope.
Star Trek has always been ahead of the curve. So if you feel like itβs leaving you behind with how progressive or inclusive it continues to be: maybe YOU are the problem. The rest of us continue to adore Star Trek for the possibilities it shows us.
No no no... Right now #Tugtupite is _down_ by eight votes. Eight votes. If this is how it ends and you did not vote for the reindeer-blod mineral, can you look on yourself in the reflective surface of your choice tomorrow?
With 5.5 hours remaining to vote, #Tugtupite has the lead by under 40 votes over #Dioptase.
Campaign for your fav and recruit new players to pick which mineral will compete in the #MinCup25 finals against #Kyanite!
We can't have it like this. Perovskite is good and all, but it is no #tugtupite! 53 votes? We can still save this!
Go vote for the wonderful 'reindeer blood'-mineral:

#MinCup25 Round 1 Match 15 - It's a mineral found mostly in the farthest reaches of space vs one so common an exhaustive list of localities is nigh impossible as alloy #taenite faces off against clay #nontronite.

Trammell Tillman has won Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his role in Severance.
He is the first Black actor to win in the history of the Emmys
All right people. It is either boring blue copper OR the space stone that hasn't been exhaustively proved not to be alien poop.
You know what to do, go vote!
#MinCup25 Round 1 Match 9: Kosmochlor vs. Azurite

Watched "the Orphan" (Walking with Dinosaurs) yesterday on Swedish television, with my 80 y old mom and was asked to relate to @KakapoJay that it was "very sweet, if a little sad at the end".
She liked that it didn't focus on "the biggest beast".
