So. Here's a forelock-tugging article about how SVB's collapse will "chill" start-up funding that only manages to mention one actual "start-up," which, amusingly, is *not* a tech firm, but rather a fake "neo investment bank" called HF.capital.
nytimes.com/2023/03/27/tec… This fake business is itself run by a former minor-league VC player. It doesn't even have a real website, but it does have a Facebook page 🤪

What's ruined Nu Star Trek, especially Picard, isn't the vile undermining of a utopian future, a penchant for dumb violence, an attempt to make an elderly man an action hero, bad dialogue, or terrible characters, although they're all there. It's that they ruined warp drive. FTL travel was always fantasy, but in Trek, and in TNG in particular, they took seriously the idea of the true size of the galaxy, and while the warp drive was fantastical, it was NOT magic. It took a *long time* to get places.
