Eternally disturbed by the number of Democrats who seem to see “affirming everyone’s basic right to freedom and safety is just too radical” as a reasonable argument.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

Bryan Fuller has been politely evasive about what he wanted ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ to be, but I have a hypothesis.

He wanted to show the slow, hard process of Federation values redeeming Michael Burnham, making her into the person we want her to be.

Star Trek as liberal propaganda

In an alternate universe Fuller never left the show, would have been interesting to see his version.

Brilliant for the arts in Ireland. Imagine if this was here in the UK. Ireland will now inevitably power ahead in this sector while here in the UK, the Government continue to actively harm and attack creative industries worth billions to the economy. The short-sightedness makes me very angry.

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 2d

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Cartoonists launch Cartoonists For #Gaza to respond to the humanitarian crisis in #Palestine.

The artwork protests violence, calls for awareness, and demands action through visual storytelling and dissent.

The infantilisation of Greta Thunberg is ableist. AND people not accounting for her Autism is reductive and disingenuous.

What happened to her and others from the flotilla is atrocious, clearly illegal, demonstrative of Israel as a terrorist state.
