Dr. Rachel ReddickI recently watched #StarTrekTheVoyageHome (aka #TheOneWithTheWhales) with my kid for her first time. It was great fun! But... uh, I'd forgotten how many colorful metaphors there were. 😅
In happier news, it turns out that the population of humpback whales -- which #StarTrek expected would be extinct by the time of the Star Trek future -- now have a population over 100,000, and are no longer considered endangered! Hooray! Sometimes things do get better.
AndThisIsMrsPeacock 🏳🌈@rr4idic This kind of news is so important! We all have to be reminded that nothing is hopeless, when we as a civilization decide to avert a disaster, we can.
Regine Horteur@rr4idic Gracie and George’s fans are happy to hear about that, I’m sure.
NB: it was the name of the whales in that movie, a beloved one of mine, not to be too cryptic about it.

Picks the Evangelist@rr4idic the humpbacks and the ozone layer are evidence we can fix things given sufficient will.
@rr4idic oh, and acid rain
David Cantrell 🏏@rr4idic don't worry, we've still got time to kill 'em all!

Todd Horowitz@rr4idic We've still got ~250 years to go, so let's not declare victory yet!
