CARNIVAL CRUISE BANS BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS AND MARIJUANA LEAVING BLACK COMMUNITY OUTRAGED AND CONFUSED:
Members of the black community have taken to social media to voice their displeasure after Carnival Cruise announced a series of rule changes that
would be implemented effective immediately.

Black passengers feel the policies disproportionately target their culture
and music. The new rules include curfews for minors, restrictions on
marijuana, and bans on Bluetooth speakers and handheld fans, which Carnival claims are for safety reasons.
Minors under 18 must now be out of public areas by 1 a.m. unless accompanied
by an adult or participating in a supervised teen program. Handheld fans, especially non-battery-operated ones, are prohibited due to the loud "clack" sound, which Carnival says could cause injuries in crowded areas.

Additionally, there have been reports that hip-hop and rap music are being limited onboard, with some passengers noting the quiet disappearance of
these genres. DJs have reportedly declined requests for hip-hop and rap,
opting for more "sanitized" playlists instead.
Carnival has denied an official ban on specific music genres, stating that their DJs play a wide variety of music, including hip-hop.

The cruise line has also introduced stricter enforcement of drink limits and
a zero-tolerance policy on marijuana, even if it is legal in a passenger's
home state. Violations can lead to removal from the ship, a lifetime ban, and possible fines.
Carnival has defended these changes as a renewed commitment to safety and "respectful behavior" onboard, stating that many of these rules have been in place for years.

Despite these explanations, some passengers remain skeptical, arguing that
the rules are selectively enforced and target specific cultural expressions. The fallout may depend on how consistently Carnival enforces these
guidelines, with Bluetooth speakers banned, fans silenced, and curfews in
full effect.

Just soaps:

soaps: DOOL - Mon's ep (I think). NuSophia is doing a bad job at keeping
the pregnancy ruse going, and I imagine she's going to be found out any
second. Xander and Sarah share a tender moment, before reverting back
to being hateful creeps. Chad (it's so weird to see him on two different
soaps at the same time!) seems to be falling for Cat (bletch!).
GH - Tue's ep. Disappointingly, they went with the obvious - that
Willow has gone crazy and is the one messing with Sasha's baby (I was
really hoping they weren't going to go there) - this might be more
interesting if they made Willow homicidally crazy (like Nelle!). Cody
plants one on Ava, and she rebuffs it, but we know she really likes it,
esp. after she and Ric bicker over their ill-gotten blackmail money and
Lizzie. Lulu and Brook Lynn get into it, and Gio comes across them, and
is disgusted that Brook Lynn was going to go after Rocco to get to Lulu
- Gio declares he wants nothing to do with Brook Lynn (good instincts!).

H&I channel used to air them with the other Trek series, but I think they stopped doing it. I assume it's on Paramount+ and heard it mightr be on AppleTV.

The Animated Series looked lousy on NTSC and home video should clearly
be made from kinescope saved on 8 mm film.

I swear when I was a kid and the series was first broadcast, the colors
had already faded. The only thing that looked worse than Filmation was
that first season of Rocky and Bullwinkle in which they hired that
Mexican animation studio in which no one hired to do the animation had
any art experience. It's too bad because the stories were hysterical but
it's just so unwatchable.

The TOS Blu-ray usually have the restored version that’s cleaned up and the remastered version where the original effects are replaced with low end
video game CGI and you can choose what to watch.

I'm not sure. If it's a different timeline, perhaps they could have just
used different names. It would save all those "Wait, what?" moments.

They keep claiming it's the TOS timeline and not the JJ timeline although >obviously that's a lie.

It’s unclear. That lying talentless douche bag Kurtzman keeps claiming that the crap he’s spitting out is main timeline trek but obviously it’s not. But it’s also obviously not JJ trek either. So they must have at least four timelines going. And they’re lying about it.
