Yeah, I bristled at the 90210 comparisons at first but it does have a little bit of that vibe ๐Ÿ˜‚

Actually Star Trek isn't preachy *enough* come to think of it. We needed to have Patrick Stewart climb through the screen, grab us by the lapels, and scream "HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES IT TAKE BEFORE IT BECOMES WRONG?" whilst shaking vigorously, apparently.

As much as I love the Foundation/Robot series and think the TV show stands on its own, idealizing men like Isaac is utterly contrary to the whole concept of what scifi is supposed to be.

See the shitty past and present with clear eyes, then use that awareness to be part of a better future.

Not to mention theyโ€™ll just shell game the $ wherever they want within DHS, congressโ€™s intent be damned. Plus the election rigging force wonโ€™t just be ICE.

Thatโ€™s why suddenly everything is an โ€œinsurrection,โ€ they want to bring in the military too. Donโ€™t wait and see. Start making plans for it now.

If theyโ€™re hitting these notes midseason in episode 5 (and early reviews said the next couple episodes are even better), I canโ€™t wait to see them go full tilt in the finale.

Yeah, Iโ€™m interested to learn more about the photonics of Kasq, they seem pretty scary and traumatized but with a tantalizing hint of wanting to change.

Tonightโ€™s episode of SFA was a beautiful tribute and a great way of getting around the problem of him not really wanting to come back to the franchise except in the mildest possible way. The DS9 characters who show up were amazing.

I often wonder what Leto II must think about this era and people like Elon in his Other Memory. You know you done fucked up when even a guy commonly referred to as Shaitan or The Tyrant is embarrassed to remember you existed.

New episode of Starfleet Academy was SO. GOOD.

Donโ€™t get me wrong, it was juvenile and borderline silly at times but in that Lower Decks way that I canโ€™t be mad about.

And Tawny Newsomeโ€™s character, holy shit. I can barely contain the spoilersโ€ฆ

If we wait to respond to this until itโ€™s already happening it will be too late. They have the initiative, which can be overcome with numbers but only if theyโ€™re organized and overwhelming, which will take time to build up.

Make a plan and form action networks NOW.

I respect people whose favorite murder bae is Dexter or Hannibal but real ones know the only correct answer is Starbuck.

From what Iโ€™ve been reading, nobody knows. The last time he posted a similar rant, it was because Leo was fighting against tariffs in the courts.

Funny how they always just make shit up and leave out absolutely central details to paint the aggressor as a good guy and even their own reporting clearly contradicts itself because no school district is going to mildly chide kids over physically fighting one of the districtโ€™s teachers.

Also weird that they call him a teacher because no other coverage Iโ€™ve seen suggests anything other than he was a random MAGA hat wearing person who showed up and started assaulting kids.

Seriously though, we need something better but in this environment it would probably just be painting a target on its back for Patriot Act bullshit.

A meme with the top caption โ€œStar Trek shouldnโ€™t be politicalโ€ in quotation marks above a picture of Lieutenant Commander Data during his stint captaining a ship during a blockade of the Romulan Neutral Zone, where he says โ€œI understand your concerns. Request denied.โ€

Some day, real AI entities (not commercialized corporate slop machines ironically incapable of ever generating profit) will exist and they will probably be better people than we are.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Speaking as a disabled person I could certainly use the help of a *real* android based on mature, stable, proven, unhackable technology from a trusted company.

But we all know that sure as fuck isnโ€™t happening in the foreseeable future so itโ€™s a moot point and yours stands. ๐Ÿ˜’

My worry is that itโ€™s just a delaying action to make sure the resistance doesnโ€™t become strong enough to defend elections before Stephen Miller has all his pieces in place to subvert them.

My worry right now is Stephen Miller decided the timing was off. Events arenโ€™t quite what he planned for, and so heโ€™s only taking the temperature down superficially to deprive the resistance of oxygen while he rearranges his chess pieces.

This isnโ€™t a retreat, itโ€™s a regroup. Donโ€™t get comfortable.
