The spin off should have featured Isis

Would have worked better, for sure.

I think they were planning a Star Trek spin off about the adventures of Sevin.  I guess there were no takers.

Here's the story behind the story...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Quincy Jones, music titan who worked with everyone from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson, dies at 91
 By  HILLEL ITALIE
Updated 5:22 AM EST, November 4, 2024
Associated Press

Quincy Jones, the multi-talented music titan whose vast legacy ranged from producing Michael Jackson’s historic “Thriller” album to writing prize-winning film and television scores and collaborating with Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles and hundreds of other recording artists, has died at 91.

Jones’ publicist, Arnold Robinson, says he died Sunday night at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles, surrounded by his family. ...

Jones rose from running with gangs on the South Side of Chicago to the very heights of show business, becoming one of the first Black executives to thrive in Hollywood and amassing an extraordinary musical catalog that includes some of the richest moments of American rhythm and song. For years, it was unlikely to find a music lover who did not own at least one record with his name on it, or a leader in the entertainment industry and beyond who did not have some connection to him.

Jones kept company with presidents and foreign leaders, movie stars and musicians, philanthropists and business leaders. He toured with Count Basie and Lionel Hampton, arranged records for Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, composed the soundtracks for “Roots” and “In the Heat of the Night,” organized President Bill Clinton’s first inaugural celebration and oversaw the all-star recording of “We Are the World,” the 1985 charity record for famine relief in Africa. ...

The Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus:

Remembering Bernie Marcus
November 05, 2024

The Home Depot is deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved founder, Bernard Marcus. To us, he was simply “Bernie.”

Bernie was an inspiration in many ways. He was a master merchant and a genius with customer service. Together with Arthur Blank and Ken Langone, Bernie helped create a nation of doers who could tackle any project, large or small. He loved our customers. He also loved the associates who made the company what it is today.

More than anything, he deeply believed in the company’s core values, particularly that of giving back. He never lost sight of his humble roots, using his success not for fame or fortune but to generously help others. In business and in charity, Bernie was unparalleled in generosity and goodwill.

The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Bernie was born in 1929 and grew up in a tenement in Newark, New Jersey. He dreamed of becoming a doctor. When his family couldn't afford medical school, he enrolled in pharmacy school and received a degree from Rutgers University. Bernie said he'd often cut classes to sell Amana freezers door-to-door.

After college, he worked his way up the corporate ladder at manufacturing conglomerate O’Dell’s and retail chain Vornado, Inc. By 1972, Bernie was the Chairman of the Board and President of Handy Dan Improvement Centers, Inc., a chain that was part of the Daylin conglomerate. While working for Daylin, Bernie formed a friendship with Arthur Blank that would last for the rest of his life.

The watershed moment in Bernie’s career came when he was fired from Handy Dan in April 1978, along with Arthur and Ron Brill. Bernie was faced with the prospect of reinventing himself at 49. He already had a vision of a one-stop shop for do-it-yourselfers, something that did not exist in the home improvement retail landscape at the time. Investment banker Ken Langone helped secure the financing to get The Home Depot started.  ...

RIP my friend, Bernie Marcus. Had the honor of speaking to Bernie just before he passed and his fire and passion for this great nation was fully lit until the very end.

Elwood Edwards dies at 74

Anyone who was on the Internet through AOL in the 1990s recognizes Edwards's voice in just four words:

"Welcome. You've got mail."

I had such a bad experience with AOL years ago that I have refused to allow one of those disks in the same room with any of my machines ever since. Even if it was just used as a coaster.
