Every 4 years we scour the land
to find the most sure, safest guiding hand
No expense is spared, the wise sit in council
All views are entertained, if they find a sponsor
Two factions emerged, each with a champion
Other parties were told to shut up & listen
The criers and heralds on every corner
regaled the people with tales of their man's valor
"He killed those savages in a foreign war,
he made Christians ashamed of Christmas no more"
"He politely served and loyally did support
his boss, the first Black leader we did appoint."
Some malcontents and dead-enders,
wondered if we could do better.
"Let's stop climate change, let's have peace,
and for every sick person provide some relief!"
Urgent messages were sent by mail and by fax
On letterheads from Exxon-Mobil & Goldman-Sachs
"Get this rabble under control -- mislead and shame,
with messages of fear, keep the people tame!"
So when Trump or Biden emerge in November,
All who hear this should indeed remember,
With humanity on the verge of ruin and doom,
These two clowns were the best we could do.

Regardless, I think it captured a big limitation on human colonization of the solar system and beyond: our psyches. I get moderately depressed with lack of sunlight in winter. What would happen to me traveling 9 months in the total black of space? Add in the solitude, the
What songs describe social media? When you first use @Facebook, it feels like @billyjoel "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant (1977)"
Then you get in political arguments & it feels like @FinalLevel's "Colors"
Then you read about how corporations & government use the data they collect and you realize that it's also @rushtheband's "2112 Overture/Temples of Syrinx"
The way #OrangeFungus drop-kicked Rudy Giuliani reminded me of some passages from the Quran describing how both those who lead people to evil and those who follow share in the consequences theguardian.com/us-news/2021/j…

For the 1st time, Michelle Nichols as Uhura performs a technical task. In previous episodes, she basically was a receptionist or a switchboard operator.
After Scotty the Chief Engineer oogles Leslie Parrish as Lt. Carolyn Palamas on the bridge, Capt Kirk basically states that women won't go far in Star Fleet because they end their careers for marriage. She's part of the landing party where she & Kirk exchange these lines:
