"I agree with you AND you are being an a--hole."

Hmm. ๐Ÿค”

Yeah. It also makes it sound way more impactful and true. Thank you! ๐Ÿ˜

@halm Yeah, but I kinda reasoned it in my head thinking #Expanse is dystopian and all dystopian hellscapes definitely require reporters... ๐Ÿคฃ

But, as others have informed me, there is definitely a reporter named Jake Sisko in the Star Trek universe who plays an important(-ish?) role. The wiki doesn't seems to have much by way of his journalistic exploits, though. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Not an avid #Trekkie myself but def curious to know what episode that image is from...

(Interestingly, the image you attached inline in your comment on lemmy didn't appear in my @Tusky notifications. But, sensing something amiss, I checked out the lemmy community and saw the image...)

Yo @startrek, tell me something?

Do #trashy #tabloids exist in the #StarTrek universe? Does *any* #journalism whatsoever exist in the Star Trek universe?

Because, if not, then it means there are no Tucker Carlsons and no Jon Stewarts, and no John Olivers in that universe. Probably because nothing needs internal investigations in that society as a whole!

And that frankly blows my mind... ๐Ÿคฏ

Why do you need to spy, when you can simply... buy?

We gave up our data willingly and made it easy for all the 3-letter agencies of the world. We only have ourselves to blame. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
