Kirk and Uhura are real ones for never telling McCoy that Spock had a phase of being proud to be human until he got dumped by Nurse Chapel. He never would have let him live it down.

because people being as cynical as they can because they think it makes them sound smart has been the internet status quo for at least 10 years

what exactly was he supposed to do if he didn't have enough senators to get it passed without Manchin's support?

It depends on how much of the grid's electricity is generated with fossil fuels I think. If the majority of the electricity is being generated with natural gas, a gas furnace can potentially use less gas to heat a home. But installing heat pumps also means that as more of the grid's electricity comes from renewable sources, there will be an immediate drop in the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere to heat homes.

What does redistricting have to do with a Senate seat?

my cat came from a hoarder and the shelter said she might not be very well socialized because there were so many cats that they wouldn't have gotten much human attention, but she literally never stops meowing

I understand what it means, but "last mile" is a really funny term because walking a mile is apparently inconceivable to the average american

what news are you reading? I've seen outlets post like a review of Barbie and maybe an article about its box office success. It's definitely not taking over their coverage of other stuff.

I love the original animated series. It's really laid back and relaxing and they get to do weirder stories. TOS would never have Kirk learning magic so he can fight in a wizard battle to save Satan.

I liked this episode, but I thought the opening Lower Decks bit was pretty unfunny. Is the actual show different? It felt like all of the characters were trying way too hard to be quirky and the jokes didn't really land for me.

Then I think you just want a totally different thing from star trek than me. imo Star Trek has always contradicted itself a lot, and I'm much more interested in the stories and characters, and I'm fine with the world being somewhat vaguely defined. There are so many things that don't really make sense that people just gloss over, like Balance of Terror claiming that Romulans somehow have an empire in the 23rd century without having warp drive. Star Trek has been retconning stuff so much since it started that it's weird to me for people to suddenly start caring about it when Discovery came out.
