It’s a shame that Paul Winfield is no longer with us—and that he’d be too old to serve as a series lead if he were—as I’d watch the crap out of a USS Reliant series set in the late 2270s-early 2280s.
Peekaboo. Yellow Alert.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?

TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

mRNA vaccines are, without exaggeration, one of the greatest inventions in human history.

We basically hacked our immune systems. “Here’s the secret code for this new virus, prep to fight exactly that.” A promising avenue for addressing some cancers too.

And the US is throwing it away. For what?

Gloria Allred is demanding answers and accountability.

She’s calling on Congress to subpoena Trump’s inner circle and invite Epstein’s victims to be heard on their terms.

No more protecting the powerful. It’s time for the truth.

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants.

This is horrifying beyond words.

Hey, @mets.com! Gary and Ron were talking about Pete Alonso pointing out landmarks while riding through opposing teams’ cities on the team bus. Can we call these exercises the Real PETE-r-man Reality Tour?

I agree with Howie Rose. Alternate uniforms are fine once a week, not every day. Wear the orange and blue, gentlemen.

More attention here please.

Hey, Rob Manfred! If you’re so concerned about saving money, why not start by firing umpires who underperform? Nobody’s paying to watch a piece of shit like Emil Jimenez miss obvious calls and then try baiting a player into arguing his way into an ejection.

Thinking about Trump vs. Musk has me feeling much the same way Palpatine did while watching Luke and Vader duel in ROTJ. I can’t stop laughing.

I really, really need people to understand that as a function of supremacy, normal everyday people lie constantly about their intentions—to everyone, but perhaps to themselves most of all—and most often in service of protecting their ignorance and complacency, rather than any coherent ideology.
i really, really need people to understand that they *didn't* vote for this, no matter how much you insist they did. insisting "they voted for this" elides the information environment that led them to vote the way they did in the first place, the thing that actually needs fixing.
