News Star Trek: Prodigy The Second Season of Star Trek: Prodigy Is Coming to Netflix Very Soon May the series live long and prosper! By Molly Templeton | Published on June 7, 2024 Image: CBS Comment 0 Share New Share Image: CBS The improbable adventures of the crew of the U.S.S. Protostar are—finally—about to continue. The animated series for younger views began on Paramount Plus, like every other Star Trek show, but last year, the streamer decided not to air the second season and to remove the first season from its platform. Fans made their displeasure with this decision known, and Netflix came to the rescue, picking up both seasons of the series. The first season arrived just in time for Christmas, but it wasn’t clear when season two would warp onto the platform, other than “in 2024.” Well, it’s your time: Star Trek: Prodigy’s second season will arrive on Netflix on July 1st, according to the show’s creators. It is not entirely clear whether this will be your typical Netflix all-episodes-in-one go release, or if they’ll mix it up and release episodes weekly or in clusters, but TrekCore.com says they confirmed with CBS Studios that all 20 episodes will arrive on July 1st. As Jim McDermott wrote, Prodigy is a Star Trek show unlike any other, one “that offers children some really powerful ideas about friendship, courage and self-sacrifice. It’s a story about finding yourself and your people in the act of giving yourself away.” It stars Kate Mulgrew as a hologram version of her iconic Captain Janeway; the rest of the outstanding voice cast includes Brett Gray (Dal), Ella Purnell (Gwyn), Rylee Alazraqui (Rok-Tahk), Angus Imrie (Zero), Jason Mantzoukas (Jankom Pog), Dee Bradley Baker (Murf), John Noble (The Diviner), and Jimmi Simpson (Drednok). Daveed Diggs, Jameela Jamil, Jason Alexander, and Robert Beltram show up sometimes, too. If you’ve not watched Prodigy yet, you’ve got time to get to the first season before season two arrives on July 1st.[end-mark] The post The Second Season of <i>Star Trek: Prodigy</i> Is Coming to Netflix Very Soon appeared first on Reactor.

Lunden Roberts: Biden has not Reached Out to Navy, Hopes Hunter Receives a Pardon

The European Space Agency’s Mars Express has been around the Red Planet for two decades and has delivered incredible images of the Martian surface. Those images have often been turned into three-dimensional visualizations and videos, and the latest one is of a fascinating series of trenches known as Nili Fossae.The series of concentric trenches might not be as well known as other Martian sites such as Valles Marineris or Olympus Mons, but for planetary scientists this is a region of major interest. From this location, NASA discovered plumes of methane. The source is unknown, but obviously some have speculated that it could be from living organisms. It is also considered an interesting site for future human exploration.We are not very close to actually getting to Mars, so this visualization is the best we have for now. The ground here formed 4 billion years ago with the impact of an asteroid that formed the crater known as Isidis Planitia. Around the crater, parallel faults formed in the crust, stretching for hundreds of kilometers. They are several hundred meters deep, thin and very long, described by the team as cat scratches.     On the other side of Isidis Planitia there is a different series of trenches known as the Amenthes Fossae. Nili Fossae is known for a wide diversity of minerals, some of which could have only formed in the presence of water. The richness of this region had it as a potential contender for the landing location of NASA’s Perseverance. The rover was eventually sent to Jezero Crater, which is visible at the end of the video.Twenty years on, Mars Express continues its stunning work around the Red Planet, providing new insights about Mars. 

Anthrax is a serious disease that’s rare in humans, but earlier this year an unexpected outbreak occurred when a Texas rancher picked up the bug. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have now detailed the circumstances behind the event that made it what they describe as “unusual”.It began when a male in his 50s presented to his GP with a soft tissue infection and was sent home with a course of antibiotics. The infection, however, didn’t go away; three days later, he was sent to hospital after developing a fever, blisters, and a black piece of dead tissue characteristic of an anthrax infection.After being sent to a larger hospital, swabs of the wound then tested positive for the DNA of Bacillus anthracis, the bacterium that causes anthrax. Though the skin form of the disease can be fatal if left untreated, the rancher was successfully treated and discharged from hospital a week after being admitted.So what was the source of his infection? The clue is in his job.Anthrax is zoonotic, meaning it can be passed from animals to humans. While such cases are rare on the whole, there’s a region of Texas known as the “Anthrax Triangle” where it’s considered to be enzootic, a disease that’s constantly present in animals – essentially their equivalent of endemic. The case in question occurred on a ranch in a county adjacent to the triangle.Outbreaks in this region usually occur sporadically in the summer months when there’s hot, dry weather, followed by human cases. What made this case particularly “unusual”, as the CDC described it, was that the rancher turned up in hospital in January.Upon investigation, it was suspected that the source of the infection had been a lamb on the ranch that had died suddenly, 11 days prior to the rancher winding up in hospital. After the rancher butchered the lamb, its meat was then cooked and eaten by himself and four others.With only the rancher becoming ill, it’s likely that the man picked up the skin infection handling the lamb, as he’d reported not using any personal protective equipment to do so. Although no one else got sick, the CDC reported that cooked meat from the lamb that had been frozen did test positive for B. anthracis and cautioned that “there is no safe way to prepare meat for human consumption from an animal that has died of anthrax.”“Processing animals that die suddenly from unknown causes should be avoided, irrespective of the season.”

The New York Times’s latest attempt at a manufactured scandal — that that a few years ago, a Supreme Court Justice’s wife flew a flag upside down — is among the most desperate election-year media ploys ever seen. Everyone knows what this non-story is about: the corporate journalists are attempting to conjure up a pretense for the Supreme Court to be “reformed,” which, in this case, usually involves adding five or more new seats and immediately filling them with far-left ideologues. Nobody’s buying it, because we know the media’s thoughts on the Supreme Court. As soon as Trump started nominating judges, they began questioning the court’s legitimacy and arguing that perhaps something needed to change. Here’s how they’ve talked about it over the past year:     Journalism during an election year is like playoff hockey. Convinced that democracy itself its on the line, the news creatures have grown bolder and more shameless with their political hackery. At this point sheer volume of nonsense has reached a point where one struggles to keep track of all their shenanigans. Does anyone even remember how last week, during the final day of jury deliberation in Trump’s New York trial, a slew of mainstream news publications suddenly started blasting our phones with alerts proclaiming that a tape existed of the former President using a racial slur? It was only a week ago. What was that about? Why is literally nobody talking about it anymore? Where did all the media interest go? Kind of weird how it all completely evaporated the second Trump was found guilty. It’s almost like these outlets knew they were publishing fake news. That brings us to the Times’s latest non-story. Does anyone really believe the American news media, with all their criticism of America, flouting of norms, and scorn for tradition, are actually upset at the supposed mishandling of an American flag? It’s not like it was a pride flag. Just how stupid do they think we are? Perhaps aware of their weak pretense, they tried to punch up their story with a new scandalous detail: the Alitos were also seen flying the “Appeal to Heaven” flag on one of their properties. You know, that flag commissioned centuries ago by George Washington. Apparently we’re meant to pretend it’s a symbol of January 6 or racism or something now. Of course, the facts didn’t line up for that one either, and it became clear that history would have to be revised in order for democracy to be saved. Wikipedia made some stealth edits to its page about the flag, but then it came out that the deepest blue cesspit of a city in all of America, San Francisco, had been flying the flag outside its city hall for years. The local government tried to keep the narrative alive by quietly taking down the flag, but at that point everyone with an IQ above room temperature already had stopped paying attention to this fake scandal. The journalists officially are out of control. Look forward to the next insane ploy as election day approaches. We’ll be here to cover it.
