Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

On investigation, out of my faulty memory.

I have no idea where that figure came from, but it was the one lodged in my brain for the "settlement"/bribe that Paramount paid Trump.

Ah well...

Fair enough - none of this should diminish the fact that the $16 million "legal settlement" from the former owners of the company was pretty definitely a bribe.

And Skydance is alleged to have promised the government free advertising in the form of "PSAs," which I don't think they've confirmed or denied.
