Maybe this is the larva of the Cerritos Warp Moth, named after the ship which discovered it.

I can see the argument from a certain perspective of the language, outside of context.

But remember when this amendment was passed. Right after the Civil War.

So, they wanted an amendment to bar traitors from federal office. Then they put in a section saying Congress has to actually make laws enforcing that rule, or it does nothing. And then, they didn't make any such laws?!

So, what, they went through all the work to make a constitutional amendment, and then it does nothing?

No, they clearly felt that the rule was clear enough as it was, and section 5 is there to allow Congress to make supporting laws built upon that to help enforce that rule. But that rule should have teeth on its own.

To be fair to Worf, Riker also adopted a kid ("Jean Luc", the alien with the psychic holodeck powers), and promptly forgot about him forever.

It's a candle, but I suppose if you're real determined...

I've heard good things. I might need to give it another shot. I was unaware Cordero was in it.

I bounced off it after an episode or two. I struggle with that sort of awkward humor, where someone hiding the truth makes things worse (which is the vibe I got from the bit I did watch, but it's been a while).

That said, I've seen a lot of clips of later episodes, and the show is definitely funny. (The Time Knife and Jeremy Bearimy are hilarious.)

Lower Decks was the first time I'd encountered Cordero. Then I watched Loki and immediately recognized his voice. Hope to see/hear more of him; he's great.

Also, fake other parts since Picard S1.

Yeah... Red background, white circle, black symbol.

I would not fly this flag, if only to avoid confusion with another, infamous flag.

Those are Mormons.

What about Timmy Turner?

I feel like having fairy god parents would make pope duties a lot easier. Make his blessings a bit more potent.
