It took me a lot longer than I’d like to admit for me to figure out that this was a reference to SNW, and not someone trying to push a far-right conspiracy theory. I think I need to take a break from the internet for a while.
Sept. 2024. You’re right. Just a bit less than a year.
The scariest part, though, is that sanctuary cities almost seem like a better alternative than our current approach to the housing crisis of “lol fucking die” :/
Yeah, and also according to Deep Space 9 lore, the massacre in skid row the sanctuary city of LA was publicized in the media and led to an outpouring of public support for policy reform that improved the conditions for the underprivileged.
In this timeline, that seems incredibly optimistic to the point of being impossible.
Public support I can buy. Housing first, Medicare for all, cannabis legalization all poll incredibly well. The government doing it, regardless of who’s in power? That’s fantasy. Lol. I’d be more likely to believe we got transporters, or the Elon musk has a replicator and the rest of us aren’t allowed to use it. Lol.

Maybe it’s time for a DS9 rewatch…
It’s a good time to watch ds9. We’re only a year away from the Bell riots. ;)
The reunification of Ireland and Northern Ireland will also take place next year.
Bell Riots took place in 2024, so less than a year away now.

This was on Mastodon this morning.
Honestly, star trek hasn’t always hit the nail on the head for the circumstances, but in this case, they got the vibe just perfectly.
I just binged all 7 seasons and now I’m empty inside lol I fucking love that show so much.
Thank you. I was about to tell the OP what they could go do with themselves.
