Dude was on the front lines of the internet culture war trying to proclaim Enterprise non-canon back in the 00s. This is not his first rodeo. And by "rodeo" I mean "being weird and mad about Star Trek".

Continuity can be a wonderful thing for telling stories but it's been abused by money sucking assholes for so long that the idea of interconnected stories or a shared universe can be almost off putting now

When it's not good for telling the story being told, it's not worth preserving. It's weird canon has the expectation of being one consistent thing when the canon of biblical texts can vary so widely people form different religions out of their chosen canon. Canon is whatever you and enough people who agree with you say it is.

The biggest thing I wish we could have seen in TNG and DS9 is Worfs extended family interacting with each other. I wanna see Kurn make awkward small talk with the Rozhenkos. I want to see Alex bonding with Jeremy Aster, cos yeah he's never met this weird human dweeb, but family is family.

Belarus as a nation state is practically brand new. "Belarusian" was a linguistic region inside the fluid borders of Lithuania, Poland, and Russia from the moment the group emerged in the 1200s. There wouldn't be a Belarus until 1918 and that was was only for like 10 months before just going back to being part of the Russian Empire (under the new Soviet branding). The Belarus that shows up in 1991 was a first fully sovereign and sustained Belarusian state ever.

A Star Trek spinoff where it's just a family sitcom starring Paul Sorvino, Tony Todd, and Alexander (portrayed by a 4th actor) is something I would actually watch.

In the recent developments the Belarusian people wanted to go towards West and down the line join the EU, but their current leader Captain Combover threw out the 2020 election results and Putin sent an army group to Belarus to quell the civil uprising. It was before close to Russia, but especially afterwards just a nominally independent extension to Putin's empire ran by USSR has-been.

He didn't get many lines but it reminded me I'd seen him in a weird horror film where he was a radio DJ (Pontypool I think is the name) Yup, Pontypool is a great nontraditional zombie flick and Stephen McHattie is always welcome when he shows up in something. Sometimes I don't recognize him right off the bat but usually I go "hey, this dude's got amazingly thin little lips, is that McHattie? Oh yeah it is"

At this point in history, it's probably more likely that Belarus is (re)annexed by Russia at some point than Irish reunification through violence. And we all agree that's coming this year, right? Or, if you wanna be generous, maybe the Belarusian identity stopped being important after planetary unification? I would imagine that the concept of "Belgian" would be gone in 20 years if it stopped being a country, maybe it's the same for future Belarus?

Its probably not exactly the same as I have understood, Belgians themselves don't consider to be Belgians, but Flemish or Wallonians, unless they are from Brussels which is its own thing. Belarus, as mentioned by Sash! is a cultural identity that has for centuries been a linguistic region which is similar and at the same time a different from all national identities of the region until they got a Soviet people's republic to run a century ago and own country when USSR collapsed.
