Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was released on this day (Nov 28) in 1986. The film had originally been planned for release in mid-December. The studio believed this would allow it to maximize earnings because the film would be in theaters during the Christmas holiday.

This book has been so soothing. I have probably learned more about the foreign policies that shape the world just in the first three chapters than I have in at least the last 15 years of news media. 🙃 It's helped clarify a lot of the absolutely batshit nonsense of the current timeline. COMFORT READ

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

On this day in 1942, Jimi Hendrix was born. His guitar spoke, cried, and set the world on fire. Rock music changed forever, and we are still catching up.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

New consumer shaming term just dropped: "device hoarding". I'll just keep using my outdated tech, thank you.
If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

Also, in his last term, Trump mused about shooting protestors in the legs. The man is a convicted felon who issued illegal orders regularly to his top company officers.

My brother dripped nacho sauce on his keyboard and just started cracking up (he doesn't usually laugh much). When I asked what was so funny, he pointed at it and said "mac and cheese".
I'll remind you that he has aphasia, a result from an IED blast in Iraq. Laughter is a big moment!
