I have a very healthy obsession with Star Trek. Pour one out; COVID ruined Earl Grey for me. Longer form on Star Trek: https://angel-two.ghost.io/

Finally! This took longer than you might expect to write, but it's done. I'm going to try to not edit it now (unless there's spelling mistakes).

On Orion slave women, misogyny and hyperadrenalism, including having to watch the episode again!

This is Bound to raise my blood pressure.

Enterprise, or by the episode in question, Star Trek: Enterprise, was certainly one of the shows within the Trek canon of all time. It started out trying to appeal to a different section of the 18-34...

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers

James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

Suzanne Moore, who would rather be locked up than pay her BBC licence fee because the BBC is too nice to trans people for her liking.

These trans lies are grotesque. I’d rather be locked up than pay the licence fee
The Daily Telegraph6 Nov 2025By Suzanne Moore

THE BBC is under fire for its coverage of a “doctored” Donald Trump speech and the tendency of BBC Arabic to minimise Israeli suffering.

On contentious subjects such as slavery, colonialism and the Irish famine, eminent academics claim there has been a rewriting of history. Such accusations of a lack of balance (or indeed a complete absence of debate on disputed issues) come as little surprise to me.

For I have long watched as the BBC deliberately attempts to “gaslight” its audience on the complex issue of transgender rights. Gaslighting means the creation of a false narrative, and the manipulation of someone else’s perception of reality. On trans issues, by misinforming viewers or ignoring stories that did not fit its pro-trans agenda, this is exactly what the BBC has done.

The leaked memo speaks of “unintended editorial bias”, but this is a very neutral way of describing what has been going on. Activists within the corporation ran the LGBT desk, which is used by all of the BBC’S news programmes. This small group of people were committed to “a pro-trans agenda” and “keeping other perspectives off air”.

That Moore and her ilk think the BBC is too pro-trans hints at what they would prefer for trans people more broadly.

For @teenvogue.com I wrote about the death of trans athlete Lia Smith and how trans youth kind themselves with central pillars of their lives being constantly ripped away from them because of politics. www.teenvogue.com/story/politi...

Politicizing Transgender Athletes Is Dangerous. Lia Smith Deserved Better.

"Let her passing be an inflection point for how you think about trans rights and trans people more generally."

If disabled women are women, why don't we just say 'women'?

World's worst gotcha from Trevor Phillips: "If trans women are women why don't we just say 'women'... who needs 'pregnant people?'" 🤔

Great to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social on @skynewsrss.bsky.social this morning standing up for trans people.

It’s clear that Trevor Phillips was trying to trap Zack by not giving him all the facts! Martine Croxall not only eye rolled, she changed a direct quote - unethical for a journalist!

My parents-in-law grew up in Poland under communism. This is why (partly, at least!) I take great care to call myself an anarcho-communist. Or anarcho-socialist. One day I might settle. But anyway! Those ~40 years cast a long shadow on the Soviet bloc for a reason.

Scrolling Treksky and someone who really wants to be a meme account used that new art theft engine to make a Trek video. It's like cheering on whatever will lead to World War III

I'm old enough to remember things like that being said about DS9. And Voyager. And Enterprise (though a lot of that was valid that time, IMO). I've read about the same backlash to TNG.

2 reminds me of the guy who didn't seem to register that I spent a weekend replying to him with unpunctuated one word answers, purely to see how long he'd keep going. Maybe 3 days? Possibly linger, but it's been a decade. Reader, I did *not* go on a date with him.
