I was only 11 when ST:TMP came out, but I still get chills recalling the screams and, “What we got back didn’t live long…fortunately.” 🫣
In a world of Dean Cain’s, be a George Takei.

TOS didn’t do this. It stated with the movies… and it’s lame!

09.08.2025 17:15 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0The irony is we already have martial law in all but name—built from existing immigration and national security powers.
We’ve got soldiers in our streets, mass detentions, no due process, and courts overturning injunctions in feigned deference to “national security.”
It’s the perfect crime.
Screenshot from the April 13, 2017 OregonLive article titled “Greg Walden holds town halls in Hood River, The Dalles, John Day.” The excerpt quotes Ian Chandler, a fruit industry worker, speaking at a town hall in The Dalles. Chandler tells Representative Greg Walden that the Republican position on immigration is unfair to immigrants and is causing a damaging labor shortage for local growers. He adds, “Republicans are issuing a lot of negative rhetoric about immigrants. Kids are hearing a lot of terrible things about their parents and their people. Immigrant labor is 99 percent of our labor.” https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2017/04/greg_walden_holds_town_halls_i.html
In this case, the farmer, Ian Chandler, has been speaking truth to power since at least 2017. I doubt he voted for Trump. Still, your bet was a safe one—given how many MAGA farmers are now crying crocodile tears.

Journalists don’t know how to spell. Putin isn’t after peace with Ukraine—he’s after a piece of Ukraine. 🥺

Judicial deference to the executive branch will be the death of democracy. 🪦

Screenshot of a smartphone Ring Neighborhood Alert notification. It reads: “Neighborhood Alert near Vancouver – Found chicken in old city cemetery. Safe with me and my hens. Please describe to claim.”
I never understood why some locals call this place “Vantucky”… until the cemetery chicken alert that ended with, “Please describe to claim.”
Portlandia’s got nothing on Vancouver, WA! 🐓
So many things that ‘could never happen here’ are happening, it’s hard to say where ‘here’ even is anymore.

It weighs 23g. The 20k 4-star reviews hide tons of 1-star reviews about how thin they’ve become. #Enshittification
