       Good morning, ShopI'm still pretty sick (and still COVID - ) but I'm trying to do a few hours of work today just so my team has some guidance and so I can get them some answers on things before the weekend. It's Earl Grey. Hot. With Honey as I try to navigate Zoom meetings in which I have no voice.

       @annaleen that the UX never gets any better and the casual users bail for anywhere or nowhere.

       @annaleen I've talked a few people who are tech savy enough to reinstall Windows through signing up because it wasn't sufficiently evident to them how to do it right.

       The first 18 minutes or so seemed promising.Then they introduced a bunch of Klingons with really cheap looking makeup. Like, I've seen better cosplays. And we got to have some drawn out lackluster fight scenes capped off by torturing information out of a Klingon with a couple of punches to the face. It's jarring to see Star Trek of all things weighing in in favor of torture as just and effective.

       The whole thing just smells of cutting costs and low budgets. It's not an effective season premiere and not a good entryway to #StrangeNewWorlds or #StarTrek Some day people are going to blame the writers strike for how bad it is, but the timeline doesn't track.

       Also I'm just 100% not interested in a "war with the Gorn" arc.

       I don't know how to explain to you that if torture is depicted as effective, it is, ipso facto, depicted as potentially morally good.All you have to do - as they have done - is set up some worse outcome, and it is morally justifiable.That's how every cop justifies beating up a witness. That's how every fascist justifies torturing prisoners. "Torture is effective" == "Torture is good."

       There is no amount of "we're better than that" that can give it narrative payoff. All that does is set "badass antihero" against "naive goody two-shoes."

       I got my flu and COVID vaccines today. Despite CVS repeatedly trying to sabotage me. They cancelled my first appointment at the 11th hour.And today they forgot to give me my COVID booster.Provider: "ok you're good to go"Me: Really? I didn't even feel the second shot....P: "Second shot?"

       Good morning, Shop.I'm tired. No one slept last night. The kids are all very sick with COVID symptoms. We'll try to test them later, but for now we're just trying to get through the day.
