Shatner mocking Miller's "Star Trek gone woke" complaint by sarcastically complaining about people still wearing glasses in the future is a fine response. It's the classic Roddenberry method of owning Star Trek's "wokeness." Why is Picard bald? Haven't they cured it? No, they're too woke to care.

hey did you know that twitter was never "the global town square?" it was never one of the biggest or coolest social media sites, it was just where journos and other wordcels and some celebs hung out so it became fodder for lazy news sites writing up stories based on some guy tweeting something

Dilbert was the epicycles theory of office alienation: great observations, dumb theory. Office Space is classical mechanics: an elegant and useful approximation unable to account for extremes. xkcd is General Relativity. Severance is autonomist-ontology Marxism. The Office was homeopathy.

Update: my client’s family member informs me that King Vanga was sentenced to 5 years 4 months in prison and remanded to custody after his request to surrender was denied. A small measure of justice.
A Stanford student got in a car accident that killed two people and was charged with crimes. After the victims' families wrote to Stanford about it, saying he should be disciplined, he sued them and tried to use the suit to silence their advocacy. Yesterday he lost. This is the story.

Headed fast in the right direction! It'll be funny watching certain politicians switch from "Retrain ICE" to "Abolish ICE" in mid-sentence when support polling hits 50%
Support For Abolishing ICE:
Oppose: 50% (-11)
Support: 42% (+17)
