Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Jon Stewart is the Millennial Walter Cronkite.

I just wish he'd have gotten into politics.

But I cant blame him after the hit job Al Franken got for being a progressive outsider.

I don't. His talents would have been wasted on them. He can do a lot more with his fame outside of the restrictive nonsense that politics brings.

Al Franken had a conscience. When called on his mysoginy, he did the honorable thing and resigned. Sadly there are no more politicians like him.
