That title has big 90s Marvel energy.

Big week for drinkware…

Sounds great - it’s sort of our “not directly about Star Trek, but maybe the people who like this instance would be interested” community.

Normally, this would be more of a c/quarks post, but fuck it, this is important.

It sucks.

All the major American media companies have done this, but that’s not an excuse. It still sucks.

If there’s any hope at all (and I’m not completely convinced that there is), it’s in statements like this:

To be the best storytellers and to continue to drive success, we must have a highly talented, dedicated and creative workforce that reflects the perspectives and experiences of our many different audiences. Values like inclusivity and collaboration are a part of the Paramount culture and will continue to be.

That might be an indication that the policies themselves are sort of still in place, but under a different name. However, if they’re discontinuing all metrics related to it, there will be no real way to know whether their “values” have a significant impact.

I think the design was originally intended for use on boats, and other places where tipping is a likely occurrence.

I wonder if those would fit - the article says that these “replimat-style” mugs are smaller than the Highwave “Quark’s” mugs, but I suppose they could have the same base.

It’s interesting that they didn’t bother replicating (heh) the rubber base of the originals. Too many added costs, I suppose.

NYCC 2024 - she’s a recurring guest star, not a regular.

Yeah, they announced her as a recurring guest star at NYCC last year. They’ve got a pretty killer cast lined up, at least amongst the adults. I’m not familiar with any of the cadets.

Non-canonical! Non-canonical!

(but unquestionably better)

They seem like good people. I think the site’s business model makes things look a little shallow or clickbaity, but they do good work.

TrekCulture isn’t a misinfo outlet, so I would trust their reporting to be accurate.

That said, Mulgrew has made similar comments in the past.

They’re all worth watching, if only so you can make your own decisions.

The holo-crew is a really smart idea for a solo freighter captain.

Good catch, I’d completely forgotten about that line:

Some of these hulls are organic. Some…some are completely comprised of holographic-containment walls.

wait, does Discovery has a holodeck?

They actually seem to have what you’re describing, more or less - Burnham was able to run complete holosimulations in her quarters.

sighs, opens the drawer of crayons

Star Trek’s Best Kept Secret

Naveen Andrews is such a perfect choice, I’m mad I never thought of it before.
