Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

How the hell do some people think that Star Trek of all things has suddenly "GoNe WoKe!"?

Have we been watching the same progressive sci-fi franchise for decades? It was always political, diverse, and most of the time it wasn't even that subtle.
