In her @newscientist.com column, Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein did not mince words: Elon Musk has misunderstood the point of Star Trek.

The idea that a heavily corporate and militarized approach to exploration will create a prosperous future? Illogical.

Very cool Trek girls are the norm, not the exception!

I’m not a Trekkie but I’ve done enough basic research into the Star Trek fandom to know women basically invented it, and are why the show even continued to exist. This kind of writing is part of institutional sexism that denies women’s accomplishments and role in history and it infuriates me

At New York Comic Con, we asked: How does Star Trek inspire you? 🖖🌍

From lifelong Trekkies to one of Star Trek’s newest stars, Starfleet Academy cast member Kerrice Brooks, Trek has inspired many of us to dream big and lead with empathy.

If humanity ever hopes to reach its full potential, we must set aside prejudice, hatred, and fear of the unfamiliar.

With an eye towards the stars, we’ll never stop learning and exploring for the sake of all humankind.

Our whole vibe:

Thank you! Duly noted

When the government can silence one artist, it threatens freedom for all.

Happy Labor Day, comrades 🫡

Glad to see it! The blue states are stepping up where the federal government has failed us.

The Star Trek franchise is actually sort of ambivalent about the extent to which Starfleet is a military organization but one thing it’s clear about is that while Starfleet has military elements, its primary job is curiosity, exploration, and to function as Federstion ambassadors to the galaxy

On this day in 1921, Eugene Wesley Roddenberry Sr. was born in El Paso, Texas.

At a time when it feels like scarcity and human suffering will never come to an end, Gene’s legacy dares us to dream bigger and create a better future.

Happy Birthday, Gene. 🖖

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Is the U.S. Becoming an Autocracy? Other countries have watched their democracies slip away gradually, without tanks in the streets. That may be where we’re headed—or where we already are.
