"And let me say
May the force be with you."

"Do you even know who I am?"

"I think I do.
Weren't you one of the little rascals?"

Love it. And thank you!

This was a fun show!

I think we're gonna need a photo, please.

I agree. Surprisingly effective.

Review: ‘Beam Me Up, Sulu’ Documentary Covers New Ground And Offers Hope In Troubled Times George Takei is the center of a new doc about Star Trek, fandom, and Asian American representation.

It was my HONOR to review the documentary Beam Me Up, Sulu, which lifted me out of a dark place and reminded me of why I was so drawn to Star Trek in the first place.

One can only hope...

Absolutely.

Ditto.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

The US Justice Department withheld testimony that Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was 13 or 14 - according to a source who viewed unredacted Epstein files.

This is the worst scandal in US history and should be the biggest news story on the planet right now.

Former ICE agent:

On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

From top to bottom, left to right: To Benefit the Hollywood Food Coalition | Trek Talks Logo Mike Sussman | Phyllis Strong Telethon starts March 28 at 9:45 am PT | Info at TrekTalks.net

Before the Federation, there were first drafts. Mike Sussman and Phyllis Strong join Trek Talks 5, bringing insight from the early days of Star Trek: Enterprise—where Starfleet was still learning, still risking, still becoming.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

More than 400 federal judges have ruled that ICE is breaking the law.

Not once. Not a handful of times. 4,400+ TIMES.

That's 4,400+ illegal detentions. 4,400+ violations of the Constitution. And in many cases, ICE has kept people locked up even AFTER judges ordered their release.

I love this so much. Was very happy to write about it. Go Team Karim!

Nothing shows your pride in your country's Olympic athletes more than replacing them with yourself and taking credit for their win.

February 19, 2026 INSTRUCTIONS TO ALL PERSONS OF JAPANESE ANCESTRY As survivors and descendants of the mass removals, detention, deportation, and family separation targeting our community during WWII, we refuse to stand by idly while our friends and neighbors are violently disappeared, forcibly removed, mass incarcerated, and separated from family members. We decry the murders of community members and at least 37 people in ICE custody and enforcement in 2025. We reject false narratives that state violence is "unavoidable," a "justifiable military action," necessary for "national security"—the same arguments used as they forced our parents, grandparents, aunties, and uncles into U.S. concentration camps in 1942. On this Day of Remembrance, we call on Japanese Americans and all people who believe in "Never Again" to demand justice for those we have lost—on the streets and hidden away in ICE detention centers. To break this cycle of state violence. To rise up and resist, together. We bravely commit to being the allies our familes needed during WWII. STOP REPEATING HISTORY. #TsuruForSolidarity #FreeFamilies #FreeThemAll

84 years ago today, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, ordering the removal and incarceration of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans, about two-thirds of whom were US citizens. The Day of Remembrance this year comes as we see DHS buying land and warehouses for more camps now.

After watching that doc (and oh-so-many seasons of ANTM back in the day), I think she might be a psychopath. She doesn't seem to have basic human compassion for others. The stuff with J and Jay, plus what she pulled in Shandi at her talk show... yeesh. And nothing is ever her fault.

Must be cool living somewhere that arrests people who were in the Epstein files.
