  • I’m not a fan of any of these companies, by any means whatsoever, but this is not a good title for this graph. Climate change results when CO₂ is put into the atmosphere, not so much when petroleum is extracted from the ground. Oil companies definitely share a lot of the blame, but the buyers and users of their products are no less at fault. Saying that Shell or Chevron or whatever are responsible in proportion to their production is an oversimplification.









  • It was a masterpiece. Definitely an outlier in its craziness, but there’s room for that in such a big franchise, and it will be missed!

    At first, I really hated this show, and really just hate-watched the first season. But it grew on me and I think I thought of it as not-so-bad by the end of the season. But it kept improving, and I think it stands out as probably the best of certainly modern Trek.

    This show was a rare combination of being funny and actually good sci-fi at the same time. It contrasted so much with another Star Trek show that ended this year where characters took themselves way too seriously, and every single day the fate of the whole universe depended on their one ship.
