If you listen to the news, you could be forgiven for thinking that everything is shit.

It’s not.

One example, Humpback Whale numbers are growing massively.

@MikeTeeVee @pixel all thanks to Captain Kirk
@chucker @pixel I have been getting a lot of Star Trek references that have been flying over my head sadly!
@MikeTeeVee @pixel Star Trek IV is a comedic film whose premise is basically that, in the future, an alien probe is trying to communicate (and somehow threatens the galaxy if it cannot). They eventually figure out the noise it makes is whale sounds, so they travel back to 1986 (yes, it’s very silly) and put two humpback whales in a giant tank on their starship’s cargo bay, then travel to the future again. The probe is happy and leaves.
@MikeTeeVee @pixel this was at the height of “we have to save the whales”; see also franchises like Free Willy
@chucker @pixel thanks for explaining. Until now, the Star Trek references have been flying over my head like an X-Wing Fighter! 😉
