The tragedy of Rob and Michelle’s deaths are incomprehensible.
I’m hearing Rob’s voice telling us all to do more, to repair the human soul, to repair our hearts, to repair our country, to repair our world, to keep fighting, to keep living for every soul taken from this earth.

Interesting questions of our time:
If a tech co facilitates a terrorist attack against a US ally, is *every shareholder* complicit and up for prosecution, or just the CEO and C-suite guys?

The "basic" in universal basic income does not mean low. It means basic as in base. Foundational. Primary. First. Basic income is an income floor. All other income adds to it. It's basic income because it's everyone starting income.

Very fun what gets tossed onto #treksky even though it has nothing to do with ST. Just uses words like Vulcan, Janeway, Enterprise, or has a reference to Klingon or something.
Anyway, click on this embed and see the quote-post. Rare Earths may be the *real* $-hunt in Venezuela!

Google Vulcan Elements and Rebecca Mercer. Venezuela means $.The administration will take a stake in Vulcan Elements and ReElement Technologies as it provides them with hundreds of millions in loans and subsidies.
Venezuela is about rare earth minerals “blue gold”. 1789 Capital founded by Rebecca Mercer, filthy rich Republican Trump donor, backed Vulcan company getting contract to mine Venezuela after Trump turns it into version of Gaza.

Bumblebee Crittersnatch. Of course. That one.

My seven-year-old daughter asked me if we could watch The Grinch later today.
I said sure, and asked her which one since there have been many different versions.
She said the Bumblebee Crittersnatch one.
Best part is that I knew exactly what she meant lol
