In terms of seeing that we're all on this one single planet, it's one of the most important photos ever taken.

The warning about "decivilization" didn't come after any one of a number of school shootings. It didn't come after January 6. It was after a health insurance company CEO's shooting wasn't received with national mourning:

Decivilization May Already Be Under Way
The brazen murder of a CEO in Midtown Manhattan—and the cheering reaction to his execution—amounts to a blinking-and-blaring warning signal for a society that has become already too inured to bloodshe...

“Brain rot” has been named 2024 Word of the Year by the Oxford University Press.
Oxford’s Word of the Year Is ‘Brain Rot’
A slang term for supposed mental damage done by overconsumption of trivial online content triumphed over a shortlist that also included “lore,” “demure” and “slop.”

Here’s my Christmas wish list for the next 7 weeks before Trump takes office:

• Biden dumps as many weapons as possible into Ukraine.

• Ukraine finally ends Putin.

• Someone demonstrates that Trump won because the US election was hacked/stolen.

• Twitter collapses.

A man can dream. 🙏

Ben Wikler should lead the DNC. A better grassroots, pragmatic and capable candidate could hardly be imagined.

I'm trying to develop a potentially long-running space sci-fi series that is set in an alternate present. However, maybe eventually I can game out how this world evolves over the next few centuries, or so.
Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.

We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

Post a ship that's not Star Wars or Star Trek

Why not both? The SSV Normandy from Mass Effect.
