One of the last things we saw of Kira in DS9 was her tossing Sisko's baseball. And it was very appropriate to see her doing that when we see her again for the first time in Lower Decks.
And over the years, people in the DS9 fandom have mused that baseballs took on religious significance to the Bajoran people because of Sisko. Personally, I don't think that would be the case. Bajorans may be very spiritual but they're not ignorant.
Instead, I'd like to think that the story of Sisko leaving his baseball in his office during the Dominion occupation as a promise that he would return spread across Bajor. And some Bajorans copied the replicator patterns for baseballs from DS9 and installed them on replicators on Bajor. And whenever a Bajoran wants to demonstrate their intent to return to some place they're leaving, they leave behind a baseball. So baseballs on Bajor have emotional but not religious significance.

You know, in retrospect it’s obvious Mesk wasn’t a “real” Orion.
He didn’t know who Tendi was!

It is kind of weird that a half-hour "Lower Decks" episode about the Federation re-establishing trade relations with the Karemma is pretty much the *only* canonical follow-up that there's been to the Dominion War.

So I'm pretty sure Mariner isn't all that into Jennifer because she's actually in love with Boimler. 🤔 I mean she's really trying to get her to like her friends and be more open and Mariner is just not having it. 😬

A Producer could make more money with a flop than he could with a hit.
So Quark has to give 76% of all his franchises' profits to the Karemma. Not "for X years", not "in exchange for Karemma replicators", not "for a share in the whatever trade deal Freeman worked out" (that we know of). That is stupid on a level only someone who doesn't understand money backed up by someone who does and likes to personally torture Quark can be stupid. I see two ways for Quark to get out of this:
One, switch to an entirely provision-based payment model for his employees and employ himself, so his personal profit counts as overhead now. Might only solidify his social suicide on Ferenginar, might instigate the hellish trend of treating employees as independent contractors.
Two, and this is the one that I think is way more hilarious:
Insurance Fraud

It must've been weird to be sitting in a recording booth with the teeth. But I bet he was thankful he didn't have to spend hours having the full mask applied every day.

Given what we now know about Tendi’s past, this scene from Veritas now comes across in a whole new light.
