"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...)

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
