This thread makes me happy. Trek folks rule.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."

That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

A federal judge rejected Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's attempt to demote Sen. Mark Kelly over a video reminding the military of unlawful orders.

The judge's fiery decision against Hegseth included 15 exclamation points (!) and a quote from Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues."

If you in any way endorse the killing of 71,000 people and displacement of over 2 million from their homes, there’s something seriously wrong with you and you’re no better than the Nazis and their enablers in 1941.

What happened to you?
The guy in the early 2000s had so much heart and promise.

And don't tell me the world has changed. The world may have changed, but kindness, ethics and morality are pretty solid.

And yet now you're removing rights, punishing disabled folk, and hosting genocidal leaders.

“Shared values” eh @australianlabor.bsky.social ?
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Same. His role in Electric Dreams made that film. ♥️
Bud Cort will mostly be mentioned for "Harold and Maude" but I've always had a soft spot for his turn as the computer Edgar in "Electric Dreams." It's been decades since I've seen it and I have NO idea how it holds up, but I loved it when I was a kid.

It's all so very Joh Bjelke-Petersen, isn't it.

Violent Police brutality under the auspices of a draconian, authoritarian regime.

Can hear many voices screaming at the Australian police "stop", "they're praying, they're fucking praying, leave them alone" as they're dragged from their kneeling positions.

What fucking threat are they?
None!
