LAFORGE: We all grew up hearing about what you did. Or what you're about to do.

There was that dream I had the other night, where I was inside a missile. I remembered today the similarity with this movie, in that Cochrane converted an ICBM into his warp ship. But why would someone create a connection between me and Cochrane? I didn't create warp drive in the past only to have someone block my memory of that, did I? It's funny, when I read something the other day about Data arguing with Einstein, it reminded me of something I was writing in my journal back in the early '90s. I was wondering why it was impossible to travel faster than the speed of light. A couple years ago I was writing about it again. The idea presented itself to me about why it was impossible, something about atoms not being able to work because electrons could not transfer energy faster than the speed of light. I wondered if it was possible to create some kind of process to transfer energy to those atoms, not unlike a cell's mitochondria works. Today I have been wondering if anything I remember about the past is real. Do I have a different past? Am I really who I think I am? The stuff I imagine happening to me sometimes, did that stuff really happen?

Grammys Audience Erupts Over Alicia Keys’ Apparent Slam Of Donald Trump Move

Alicia Keys appeared to call out President Donald Trump’s efforts to nix diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives as she accepted the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at the 2025 Grammys ceremony on Sunday.
“DEI is not a threat, it’s a gift,” the musician said at one point during her acceptance speech, prompting applause from the audience.
“This is not the time to shut down the diversity of voices,” urged Keys.
“We’ve seen on this stage, talented, hard-working people from different backgrounds with different points of view, and it changes the game. DEI is not a threat — it’s a gift,” she said.
“The more voices, the more powerful the sound,” Keys added. “When destructive forces try to burn us down, we rise from the ashes like a phoenix and as you see tonight, music is the unstoppable language that connects us all, it’s so beautiful.”
Keys did not mention by name Trump

RIKER: And you know, Doctor...
Zefram COCHRANE: Please ...don't tell me it's all thanks to me. I've heard enough about the great Zefram Cochrane. I don't know who writes your history books or where you get your information from, but you people got some pretty funny ideas about me.

COCHRANE: Let me make sure that I understand you correctly, ...Commander. A group of cybernetic creatures from the future have travelled back through time to enslave the human race, and you're here to stop them.
RIKER: That's right.
COCHRANE: Hot damn, you're heroic. Ha, ha, ha.
RIKER: We're gonna prove it to you. Geordi!

That day, 11/10/2018
I've been a constant blogger consistently posting on the internet since year 2005
That same blog of mine is still active on the internet, although I renamed it one time, back in recent years
That day, 11/10/2018, was my first ever Twitter
I created *specifically* my first Twitter account because I wanted to send a post to Anne McClain, one of my very rare attempts to communicate directly with some person I've never met
That day was 11/10/2018
I didn't even expect a reply
Was several days, weeks later
Only some time, many days later, unfamiliar with Twitter and how it works, did I notice she had responded to my Tweet.
I was thinking of that a few hours ago when I walked by that place in downtown Spokane tonight
Now it's just all really awkward.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Quotes
Superman: Once more, we have survived the threat of war and found a fragile peace. I thought I could give all the gift of the freedom from war, but I was wrong. It's not mine to give. We're still a young planet. There are galaxies out there. Other civilizations for us to meet and to learn from. What a brilliant future we could have. And there will be peace. There will be peace when the people of the world want it so badly that their governments will have no choice but to give it to them. I just wish you could all see the Earth the way that I see it. Because when you really look at it, it's just one world.
