"It is not going to destroy the internet. It is not going to end the internet as we know it. It is not going to kill democracy. It is not going to stifle free expression online," Pai said in his remarks Thursday.
Take everything that a spokesperson says and you reverse it, you have the truth and the truth is that service providers will jack with the way everyone has access to make it complicated, charge more for less, and maximize profits.
It comes back to the basic overview of how Democrats will nationalize utilities/public spaces, paying high and full price from private owners to nationalize assets. Then it is Republicans will sell these nationalized utilities/public spaces at low or no price giveaways to private owners. It's a cycle you will see again and again. Because the media, lawmakers don't step back and realize this is the cycle that is taking place, and it is not discussed it is unfortunate. Because in each cycle the people, the government is losing money. It's like the Democratic controlled government buying new buses at full price and each following Republican administration selling them at low price. With each cycle there is public money wasted.

Dev versus Del Tarrant
According to this article, Dev and Del are not related but rather just a common naming convention of Terry Nation (Terry -> Tarrant).
Of course in the series we see that Deeta Tarrant (who doesn't perm his locks), is a brother of Del).
In this fan fiction, his father's name is Darion Tarrant., and Dev is his uncle.
Here is a short biography: hermit.org.
Here is a crossover fan explanation of the names: hermit.org.

"Heroes"
"We are a little odd, and we've always appealed to the odd out there, the odd in the world. Our fans and the people like ourselves are a squad that maybe didn't quite feel right hanging out with others. We're a little awkward, a little nerdy, a little different. We found each other and it became a gang. And it's a pretty big gang now." D. Gahan, 2017

"Don't Stop Believing", Journey
Ran into this song analysis, which cracked me up. Source: http://www.inthe80s.com/whatya.shtml
In analyzing this song, one must first focus on the two essential protagonists. Firstly there is a young women originating in a sparsely populated region of inhabitance. Secondly we turn our attention to a young man who was conceived and brought up in the southern region of the Michigan city, Detroit. Simultaneously our two protagonists boarded a locomotive as one day turned into another (incidentally neither party had any requirements as to where the locomotive was destined). At a later time (unspecified) the listener is thrust into a scenario already in progress whence a musical artist has been singing in a joint. Coincidentally, said joint was teeming with the byproduct of cigarettes. Additionally contained in the aforementioned room were both an olfaction of fermented grape product and economically depreciated fragrance for the feminine body. At this time, the two previously introduced central characters exchange similar facial expressions signifying happiness; thus leading one to deduce that the pair could have sexual intercourse in the evening. The story proceeds to allude to the awe-inspiring length of this particular night. These two newly acquainted people, anticipating an unknown event, are both traipsing back and forth along a broad avenue (said street having areas at the sides and center for trees, grass, and flowers). Their respective penumbras probe amongst the electric lamps which luminate the boulevard and the surrounding human beings (after the sun had previously receded). Our protagonists exist solely in the search for an affective state of consciousness in which joy, sorrow, fear, hate, or the like, is experienced, as distinguished from cognitive and volitional states of consciousness. The two veil themselves in the witching hour. In conclusion it is evident that one should never cease to have confidence in the truth, the existence, or the reliability of something, even without absolute proof that one is right in doing so. One must cling to one's emotional perceptions or attitudes.

Eurostile sightings
For a course at MCAD, Typography Bootcamp, I chose as one of my final projects, to perform a historical comparison of Microgramma and Eurostile.
After researching these two fonts, I realized how much I've seen them throughout my life, in technology, literature, and media. Here are some samples

TIL German mouse predated the XEROX Parc Mouse
Today, while researching the shape of the 4:3 CRT, which seems to have come down from Telefunken, I learned about the Rollkugel (1968), which I had never heard of before. The German mouse isn't even mentioned in Malcolm Goldwell's history of the mouse.

How did Dr. Pulaski make it onto the enterprise?
Normally Picard tries to staff the federation officer pool with open-minded, unbiased intellectuals, but Pulaski is overly species-ist against Data. And the other crew seem frightened to call her on it. Sure it would be awkward, but I wish someone would have.

Those who forget the past
Tried this joke on the family and coworkers today, based on George Santayana's quote.
Short version: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to..."
Long version: "Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to...".
Then your listener either derails the joke, or says, "repeat it". And you repeat the quote (fragment).

Cover the front... and the rear!
RIMMER: Uh, Kryten, take point. I've seen those movies. It's always the guy in the lead who buys it first. You take the front. KRYTEN: Well, if it's movies we're talking about, sir, in my experience it's usually the poor fellow who's bringing up the rear that gets picked off first, so the others aren't aware that they're under attack. RIMMER: You're right, you're right. Can you take the front and the back, so I can go in the middle? KRYTEN: I'll do my best, sir.
