I always thought the glaring western motifs were a tribute to the original concept of Star Trek being “A wagon train to the stars.”

“Everyone’s thinking it, I’m just saying it.”
Nerve status: Struck
As we all know snapping at the fans, especially over matters of source material accuracy, always works out well for everyone involved in the making of the adaptation.
I saw this one in a newspaper my school bus driver (a middle aged black woman) was reading. I asked her what it meant and she said she had no idea.
It’s nice to see this template used for something other than politics for a change.
No, but searching for that on YouTube rabbitholed me to it! (See my original comment)
My 35-year search is finally over.
The only reason aliens won’t invade Earth is the Hollywood machine accidentally created the most amazing gaslit propaganda program and now they’re convinced that one young Earthling will discover a fatal flaw in their battleships or their biology and save the planet in a stroke of luck and perfect timing that destroys their entire race.
“Rural America contains the greatest military strategists in the galaxy! Let’s just take some asteroids when they’re not looking and move on.”
“Father, I have a gray hair.”
“Boromir would have gotten ten.”
A black and white photo of someone famous and the headline starts with their name and greatest achievement, I tensed up for a moment.
The big bicycle corporations aren’t giving cities enough gifts.
Edit: I’ve just been informed there are no “big bicycle corporations.”
So did I. Used it with a primitive MIDI composer program that had the SICKEST demo I have ever seen with alien ships and lasers and a cover of Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) and if anyone reading this remembers the name of that software I AM LOOKING FOR IT!
Edit: FOUND! The demos I remembered are a series of Kawasaki software demos that must’ve come with the plastic keyboard my parents bought.
“The Presidential Coalition”

Edit, per a Mastodon reply:
Oh cool, the leader of The Presidential Coalition, the organization listed on the envelope, is responsible for Citizens United:

Looted multiple times in the last 1,000 years.
Science has peaked.
Jack Krazinski is a very giving person.
In Japan, Wham!’s Last Christmas & Tatsuro Yamashita’s Christmas Eve play on repeat every single year.
That’s a very common trope in sci-fi. More recently, I remember it from In Time with Justin Timberlake.
The Original Series straight-up used the Downtown Mayberry set from The Andy Griffith Show twice.
Star Trek used a LOT of stuff from other properties due to money. But I still feel like the western sets were used by choice. Especially in Enterprise, which was meta at that point.
