Star Trek: Phase II - 6 Secrets Of The Lost Series That Almost Was New reveals about Star Trek: Phase II.

Roddenberry @archive-x.bsky.social and OTOY released a fantastic new documentary about #StarTrek: Phase II, and the more I learn about it, the more I wish the show happened. 🖖

Ozzy was someone who we thought embodied evil and turned out to be a pretty good man.

Hogan was someone who thought embodied good and turned out to be a pretty vile man.

Talk about opposite sides of the 1980s' coin...

Holy Freaking Hell:

"This isn’t about politics—it’s about the erosion of rights we’ve taken for granted, and the slow normalization of military-style policing tactics in everyday spaces [and] reflect a disturbing shift in the balance between civil liberties and governmental authority."

Total domination does not allow for free initiative in any field of life, for any activity that is not entirely predictable. Totali- tarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.u

This seems like a good time to remind folks of what Hannah Arendt once wrote:

If you're not a white male your history is getting deleted, and soon it'll be if you're not a rich white male your history will be deleted, they wont stop at women and minorities, they have too much hate in their hearts.

This is also a VERY useful stat sheet for calls tomorrow reminding your members of Congress how many voters they just voted to fuck over in favor of billionaires.

Nothing will wake them up.

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person

Thomas Sowell? Give me a fucking break.

I was told by the Transphobic Media Industrial Complex they were bold outsiders, risking their careers and meeting in secret like the Decembrists and now they’re all partying with billionaires, Amazon, Meta and the President. idk not sure it was ever that dangerous of a position in the first place

Oh man he’s on the brink of a revelation

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

Scientists Have Grown a Human Spine In a Lab Well, almost.

Hey @democrats.org there’s hope fam

We’re getting a horrific glimpse at the possible future. Widespread, cataclysmic climate change tragedies made worse by austerity and blamed on minorities by the Right, who will use their power to enable the wealth class as they continue to profit

It doesn’t have to be this way. We can change this.

Great opportunity to take the time you would have wasted watching the show and, instead, learn about how much it warped liberal brains and brought us to this current moment.

Reading about the role of civil rights advocacy in creating Medicare, and the fact that NIH funding was used to promote desegregation shows why Republicans want to dry up that funding so much.

People ask me what my hobbies are.
One of them is definitely Books.
Not just reading books and getting lost in them but the smell of books, going to (used)bookstores and libraries.
Who’s with me?

I like big busts, and I cannot lie.

Society has no obligation to fund a org that takes up half of most cities budgets but doesn't make them safer then

Can the journalists who did an unending supply of Trump diner stories the last time start a series of interviews with the tankies about how they feel about Trump's plans to conquer all of North and Central America?

The Democratic Party is like the Make-A-Wish foundation but for old people

Ruben nails it as usual

It's rare you get such a clear illustration of whose lives have value in America and whose don't

The image shows a black-and-white photo of Anita Bryant with a shocked or surprised expression. Her face and hair are covered in whipped cream and pie remnants. She is holding a napkin or tissue and appears to be in the process of cleaning herself.

"Gays didn't get their rights by being confrontational"

Anita Bryant would beg to differ.
