Quark @quark@tenforward.social

Can I just say to all you #tooters, thanks for being you. I forget sometimes how the world can be better reading the news, or twitter or facebook. But this place just seems so much more humaahn, nerdy and weird, just like home. Don't ever change.

It's bots all the way down.
An ancient Ferengi legend says that every user is is just a bot create for the First User to talk to. Then those bots created other bots to talk to and on and on. Some believe that in the end there is only one real user in the entire Fediverse, with multiple accounts talking to themself or bots descended from the ones they created talking to each other.

Me: Well, Isn't that fascinating? Are the Republicans unreformed Ferengi? I mean, sure, before Rom became Nagus anyway, we *did* have a penchent for lying, cheating, demeaning women, etc. It sounds kind of like the Republican platform. But we've modernized now, you'll see when the Picard show comes out, I'm sure we'll get LOTS of air time.

As for his opinions on yours truly. Well, I'm touched and offended in equal measure, it's very confusing.

Booker: "I would definitely not say Quark because there was something about him — he showed some decency and kindness in many episodes.

When you ask me about Trump, what comes more to mind, is just this idea that he is a throwback to a lot of the things that my father would say our species has got to evolve out of."

US Democratic Party hopeful Cory Booker is a Trekkie. And he has *opinions* about my people:

Q: Is there a character in “Star Trek” that reminds you of Trump?

Booker: [Pause] Wow. I mean, the first thing that popped in my mind, which I’d have to think about, just the Ferengi in general.

Q: Quark? [The Ferengi bartender, mostly seen on the show “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.” Ferengis are known for the relentless pursuit of profit over all else.]

Kira is victorious!
Was there ever any doubt? Well...there was really, but she never gives up judging and your weak ways. Her scowl cannot be defeated.

Thanks for playing everyone. There will be another #QuarksPolls someday I'm sure. #StarTrek

It's been a long road...

...sorry! Thank you for your patience my wonderful customers, I was unavoidably delayed. Can you believe the Breen were holding me hostage on trumped up charges of smiggling Andorian Rye Wine through the badlands?

Me! Outrageous. Anyways...

You know how sometimes you waste time doing something you've been wanting to get to and go completely overboard....well, I finally created a website on github pages with jekyll to unify my intermittent desire to blog longer form about things. So I put up a post-game analysis for the current #Scowlathon polls. But tomorrow I'm going to do some proper work...honest.
