I spent most of my prep time this week on moving the website beefed up and streamlined. We’re off the free github subdomain and onto actual hosting at mikeslater.com. Nothing much should change, other than less non-YGCTO content and mikeslater.com URLs.

It does mean we can start using it how we want. Still keeping it a comment-free zone… leaving that to social media for the time.

Babylon 5 Season 2 Episode 13: Hunter, Prey

This is the dawn of the Fascistic Clark regime clearly consolidating power. A top physician for the formerly democratic regime is trying to be a whistleblower, but is being pursued by Clark. He has proof that the illness Clark used as an excuse to miss Santiago’s last speech was faked.

So much of what B5 explores has parallels to today’s political climate. Right now, scientists are being defunded and removed from positions in favor of yes-men to the administration. This episode shows how a fascist government begins clamping down on these things.
