And to "celebrate", there is a new trailer for Discovery Season 3: Star Trek Day 2020 | Discovery Panel - YouTube[^] (You can turn it off at about 3 minutes in, if you want).
Yay! Looking good ...

But what does Discovery have to do with Star Trek?
[Edit]
It's a great trailer.
But the best praise this old-time Trekker can give Discovery is that I'm ready to pretend the first two seasons never happened.

I hope, at the least, that you're not a fan of Capt Mommy and Voyager.
That would be (like everything else) and anomaly!

I wouldn't call myself a fan, but at least it didn't pretend to [rant deleted]
I'm not gonna go there. It's all been discussed to death elsewhere, I'm sure.

Have you seen Lower Decks? Not very Trek like and won't appeal to most I think.

It looks like the same cr@p as the first two seasons. More cr@p I don't need to waste time watching.
I want a proper Star Trek that is more subtle with its messaging and a Spock that isn't emotional and doesn't have a sister.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Even in the trailer they spend time discussing how morally correct they are and how important the "people" are. Ah bullshit, just shoot the bastards, blow em up.
Yeah I know I'm shallow like that.

Yeah, the UK had a 3.3 yesterday: Earthquake hits towns in Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire[^]
It's the End of the World I tell you! The Mayans were right all along with what they saw in the bible!

Amazing! Did you feel it?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I don't think most people near it felt anything to be honest. 3.3 is just the Earth having a stretch and going back to sleep.
We had a 4.4 near us in 2018, and all that happened was a loose slate slid of the roof.

It's not far away from me and didn't feel a thing. However it was a major event in Leighton Buzzard; apparently some wheelie bins fell over and in the library, some books slipped on the shelves. Chaos.

Are you sure it just wasn't just a little gas or maybe a rather large belch?

Yes the earth let out a belch.

At least they figured out what it was promptly.
Maybe 5 or 10 years ago, I was visiting my parents for a few days over the Christmas holiday; and the lead story on the Pittsburgh TV News one night was: "Mysterious explosion rattles Philly neighborhood earlier today, cops searching for answers".
The next night the lead story was "Philly had a m2.5ish earthquake yesterday".
I'm not sure who laughed harder when I shared that, my other friends from Pittsburgh over how stupid Philly people are; or my friends in California over the idea that a quake that small was worth any mention at all. 🤣🤣🤣
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Seriously. This could easily have been confused with just a truck going by.
Not that I live in an area that commonly has quakes of any significance.

Which is why my friends all engaged in such vicious mockery of the incident.

There are about 100,000 of these a year. If its less than magnitude 5, they don't even bother reporting them in Israel.
