From the article

filed a lawsuit against Justice Alexandre de Moraes in a U.S. court in Tampa, Florida.

The argument that follows is literally that a Brazilian court didn't follow the US constitution.

This is as bananas as China starting to fine people that talk about Taiwan or the Tienanmen protests anywhere in the world.

There's still the question why an American court would have jurisdiction to apply the American constitution in Brazil.

The Catholic church is guilty of many sins. Giving a fuck about the US President was never one of them.

What substance is there on "Spock's Brain", "Turnabout Intruder" or "The Way to Eden"?

And what established canon? TOS is all over the place too, from the laws and organisation of the federation to the nature of Vulcans.

Section 31 suffers from the same problem as the Kelvinverse movies and adds the problem that there's no more material to flesh out the characters except Georgiou. It's entertaining for the most part, but the plot is a mess and makes it hard to care about any of the characters. I think this is due in great part to it being initially written to be a mini series but then they randomly dropped most of the scenes to make it a single movie.

Have you watch TOS and try to actually watch it without the lense of nostalgia? The episodic format makes it easier to focus on the absolute classics and ignore some of the worst episodes of Star Trek ever, but the average quality is not above modern Star Trek shows.

Something like shoot for the moon, if you miss you'll die alone in the void far from the stars.

Just a reminder that alternatives like open street maps and Here WeGo exist and are not taking marching orders from Trump.

It still says that executive branch employees should just follow orders, which is not compatible with the rule of law.
