In Prodigy’s defense, they waited the equivalent of two seasons to play that card, and the execution was IMO, better than what we saw in Picard and Discovery.

Asking the deep questions here.
T'Lyn thinks it may be the result of a temporal wake, while Boimler thinks this should be brought to the attention of the Department of Temporal Investigations.
I mean, that’s easy to say, because we’re not attached to the Leif Ericsson class or anyone onboard.
But would the same argument be made if instead it was Bajor, or Kronos that disappeared from existence?
The article implies the self driving feature may be a significant contributor.
Considering relatively few other brands have similar autonomous driving, and that autonomous driving technology is still very much in its infancy I'd wager just having a classification of accident currently unique to Tessla is enough to put it in the lead.
My goodness, that article was quite the ride. Capitalism needs to be put in its place and the sooner the better for all.
I'm distrustful of anyone who felt like sharing this.
Why is this advertising considered news?
Curiously, the interview fails to address making money for employees.
I mean, it's not anything special to presidency. With concerts, it's the conductor that gets the praise… with companies, it's CEOs, with sports it's usually coaches.
We're not good in general at remembering the individuals, let alone acknowledging them and their cog in the machine. A flaw to be sure, but a universal one.
That said, I certainly agree with the sentiment, the wrong people do get the praise and blame for those under their authority.
He amplified his crackdown on soaring prescription drug costs, hidden fees for cable and air travel and corporate “price-gouging.” He also promised to “keep fighting to bring down costs.”
Following the links the above quote, the CNBC articles suggests we can expect progress on the first two items (prescription drug costs and hidden fees), but there's nothing I read in the linked article about dealing with price gouging other than some stern words. Maybe something is indeed in the works, but it wasn't obvious to me at the least.
Instead of taking a routine victory lap, the president doubled down on the war, pledging to do himself what the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes have not: Make things cheaper.
[…]
It is a marked tone shift from the president’s typical reactions to positive inflation data.
I do appreciate this narrative shift—transitioning from tone-deaf/gaslighting to acknowledging that key issues still aren't addressed.
Additionally, even though the copyright is expiring, the trademark is not.
“You can use the Mickey Mouse character as it was originally created to create your own Mickey Mouse stories or stories with this character,” Daniel Mayeda, associate director of the Documentary Film Legal Clinic at UCLA School of Law, told The Guardian. “But if you do so in a way that people will think of Disney — which is kind of likely because they have been investing in this character for so long — then in theory, Disney could say you violated my trademark.”
😕
The narrative problem with the kids arriving in Federation territory in a stolen ship was that the Protostar would be impounded and the kids would be sent packing.
They needed a narrative reason to give the kids a chance to command the Protostar and have their own adventures, which means dragging out returning it to Starfleet. But rather than resorting to stalling tactics, they opted to have the kids fight to keep it out of their hands, and for good reason.
With Picard and Discovery, I felt more like that trope was used because the writers had no better ideas on how to keep the stakes high.
With Prodigy, I felt that the stakes were made essential to its premise.
