Star Trek has cryo sleep, right? Can I skip those decades in between? I can be that guy who was average in his time but wakes up from a cryo pod and reminds the post-apocalyptic world what hope is.

I'll learn to play an instrument if I have to.

The Bell Riots were supposed to happen in the fall of 2024, but sadly, I feel like we're on the fast track to have those this year and catch up.

My worry is what will be future StarTrek be like in the post DEI era?

Will we become the alternate Federation!?

It's definitely getting easier to visualize this sequence of events.

We did miss the Irish Reunification of 2024, though...

Honestly, at this point? Turning humanity off and on again sounds pretty sensible

Talk about one of the all-time extreme "mixed bags."😑

Stop being so upbeat. I am trying to concentrate on the problem of books about diverse people at the library. We all know that is what our problem is. 😉

Anything is better than First Contact or Enterprise.

We deserve the annihilation part…

So you're saying Star Trek is predicting a 31 year great great great depression?

And.....in this timeline he fired all the scientists.

The good news up until you mentioned this, Molly, was they weren't very bright and wholly incompetent.

If this is their "A" team, we may reach the prelude to self-annihilation much sooner than the storyline.

Well, in that case there IS always the chance it already happened and we're actually on the path towards the savior timeline. I mean we're due a fucking break and for once it would be nice to NOT be on the timeline of, "the shittiest timeline necessary to help define all better ones".

Our luck, we'll meet Klingons before Vulcans.

psvrh.bsky.social•68 days ago

Even worse, we become the Terran Empire

Trump just needs to accelerate his timetable and fast-forward to Russian exile. We can skip the rest.

We will get our constitution re-written by China they we did to Japan. At the end of the war.

"We need to bring the United States back into the brotherhood of Nations". Xi, 2035.

One of the things I loved about the Star Trek Universe is humanity had CLEARLY gone so far socialist that they no longer needed the word "Socialist" to describe it!
