The Human Adventure is Just Beginning. Celebrating Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which premiered in theatres on Dec 7, 1979. The film had flaws, but was a major triumph, for Gene Roddenberry, for the production team, and most of all for the fans, whose determination & persistence made it possible.

Resistance is alive and well in the United States Protests of Trump may not look like the mass marches in 2017, but they're far more numerous and frequent — and also becoming more strategic.

RESISTANCE is alive and well in the United States

Protests of Trump may not look like the mass marches of 2017, but research shows they are far more numerous and frequent — while also shifting to more powerful forms of resistance

The orange felon insults yet another female reporter by calling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins “stupid and nasty” after she inquired about the price of his trashy dictator ballroom after it increased by another $100M.

This is what happens when you normalize a criminal for a decade.

Schiff: "I think that all of these strikes are unlawful. They are a form of extrajudicial killing. These boats are not invading the US in an armed assault ... the fact the administration may put a group of organizations on a list doesn't confer on a president the ability to kill them at sea."

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about Don Jr receiving a massive loan for his startup from the Pentagon. I guess when there’s so much corruption some things fly under the radar?

“The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda.

It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.”

it does feel like an intense societal problem that the founder of palantir, the biggest survellience company, thinks like this

The Paradox of Global Warming and Colder Winters - WhoWhatWhy If the cold weather makes it harder for you to argue with climate change deniers about the existence of global warming, this story is for you.

I love the convenience of streaming, but for any movie or show that I really love, I want to own a physical copy. The quality often better, and it is much less likely to disappear suddenly if a license expires or a company merges out of business. And disks often have cool extras.

There's a quote attributed to Jonathan Swift, though opinions are varied about whether he actually said it. Makes a good deal of sense whoever coined it.
“It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.”

First rate talent hires first rate talent. Second rate talent hires third rate talent. Third rate talent hires seventy-second-rate talent.

This political cartoon by Paul Duginski, titled "Prison Industry Champagne Dreams," contrasts the suffering of immigrants with the financial gain of the private prison industry. The cartoon is subtitled "The Agony and the Ecstasy". The left panel shows an immigrant in handcuffs, with the sound effect "CLINK!" representing the cuffs closing. The right panel shows hands toasting with champagne glasses, with the same sound effect "CLINK!" representing the glasses clinking together. Tiny dollar signs float from the champagne glasses.

Paul Duginski really nailed it with this political cartoon. Follow the money, it always leads you to the corruption.

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.

Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.

It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!

Repost if you agree.

If the Supreme Court makes you mad keep in mind that within the last week Democratic senators have been voting for GOP judges to get on the federal bench

I had a professor in college who got yelled at for giving an entire class a failing grade. You can’t fail them all! He said, “I didn’t fail them, they failed.” I feel like when it comes to like, cabinet appt or judges they want to seem fair, we can’t say no to everybody they put up! Yes, you can.

I still believe in Gene Roddenberry's vision for the future.

This is an American patriot.

Jesus, this is the kind of on-the-nose symbolism in stuff like A Wrinkle in Time where they travel to the planet that was consumed by the Black Thing and every house on the street was identical and the children played by bouncing their balls in unison

US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.
