Most men in Star Trek would fall into this category. Sisko fills the top spot for me though, for his portrayal as a supportive, affectionate, and masculine father while balancing the responsibilities of wartime leadership.

    I had mixed feelings about the first season. I'm more of a West Coast Fallout Fan then an East Coast Fan, so while I can acknowledge the show is well produced and entertaining, I cant help but be irritated by the direction its taking the franchise. I'm interested but cautious of season 2, especially since its content will now align closer to my favorite game in the series. I'm also doubtful of the long term success of any show from the creators of Westworld. I've been burned before.

    The scores on these prestige streaming shows are always bullshit. They're usually based off just a handful of critics who saw the first few episodes. These shows are usually front-loaded with quality and then fall apart mid or late in the season, so the scores start great and by the time bad reviews come in most people have moved on.

    When I was a kid, I used to play a lot of educational games. I had the various JumpStarts and was a big fan of Zoombinis. I learned a lot about ancient Rome from the Caesar series too.

    As an adult, the Paradox 4X games (Crusader Kings, Victoria, Europa Universalis) can actually teach you a lot about history and geography. I mostly play the older ones because the newer ones have atrocious development cycles and DLC policies. Victoria 2 is my favorite!

    In a post on X, Newsom addressed the U.S.'s global trading partners, writing "California is here and ready to talk."

    It comes after a Fox News report revealed that Newsom is directing his state to pursue "strategic" relationships with countries announcing retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., urging them to exclude California-made products from those taxes.

     

    I’m genuinely curious. Years ago, I was a chubby young pothead who lived on fast food. Taco Bell, McDonald’s, KFC, you name it—I ate it. Back in college, fast food probably made up at least 50% of my diet. And it wasn’t just because it was quick and cheap—I actually enjoyed it.

    But these days, I find myself craving it less and less. Besides being more health-conscious, it just doesn’t hit the spot like it used to. It’s more expensive than ever, mostly bland, and I feel terrible after I eat it. So what’s changed? Is it just part of the enshitification of everything? Have I just gotten old, or has fast food really gone downhill?
