What the actual fuck.

There's a proposal to limit the new covid vaccine booster to people over age 75 and immune-compromised people. This is on very short notice and not getting a lot of attention, but the proposal is open for comments until tomorrow. That's 9/8/23.

I left a comment here. It wasn't much of a comment, granted, but - well, seriously, I'm just glad I managed something better than "what the actual fuck".

I was going to make a fake Ask a Manager-style post about this batshit fictional work environment

but it was too batshit. Anyway, Protagonist A is no longer working there and is now currently a political exile twice over on her third planet in less than two years, and apparently debating whether or not to go back with her recently-but-no-longer presumed dead not-quite-girlfriend-it's-complicated when that happens. She'll probably do the smart thing, but I paused the episode to marvel that this is even a question.

And since I know you're going to ask, here, clicky. There are transcripts, though not for the entire series I don't think. Seriously, though, it is amazing to me how much of this show is driven by personal conflict between the two main characters when the background of the show involves aliens, political machinations, interplanetary war, treason, and (probable?) war crimes.
