1966 - height of the Civil Rights movement and Uhura held an officer rank, worked in a technical field, and was part of the senior staff.

She would be dismissed today as a "DEI hire"

I think it would be great for schools to have LCSWs or LMFTs teach a semester every few years of school in EQ, navigating intimacy, avoiding codependency, identifying manipulative relationship patterns and abuse, and general communication skills.
Unfortunately being a decent human is "woke"

It's almost like tech-bros have misogyny as a core personality trait or something.

That's just one of the reasons AI is the intellectual equivalent of a dumpster behind a cheap buffet on an August day... in Atlanta.

Enough with the AI slop.

Well, that was an unexpected $0.60 find at the record store.

New rule. No one can run Star Trek if their name rhymes with "Berman"

And still it's nothing but crickets from the "America First" crowd of the red-hatted flavor.

Does it count if my hat has years of wear, two pounds of dust that will never come out, and sweat high-water marks on it?

Oh, is it [insert day] already?

"Do what I say or I shoot the hostage" is an interesting approach to domestic policy.

Can we weaponize stupid conspiracy theories? What if we start saying that microplastic exposure causes autism, we won't cure autism, but maybe we do something about plastic waste.
We can even use recent findings from real science, like finding enough plastic in a human brain to make a plastic spoon

This is not what I meant when I called him a dickhead.

Sorry, I got distracted by that early 1970s Volvo 242.

Look, I have strange interests, I make no excuses.

But Romulans work in the shadows and are known for thinking many move ahead. Donny barely knows where he is.

No, if Trump is a Star Trek race, he's a Pakled - obsessed with the appearance of power and being "strong" and "smart" but dumb as a bag of hammers.

False. A Ferengi would never manage to bankrupt a casino.

2) She even turned down marriage proposals from Olaf who tried to gain control of her kingdom through marriage. She was reported to have said "Why would I marry a man who can't defeat me in battle?"
Women held high standing in Viking society, many fighting their own military battles.

1) Even Vikings were never what these far-right small-dick males think they were. Viking society was nuanced, orderly, and pretty egalitarian. Queen Sigrid ruled Finland in the 10th century and lead armies in victorious battle against the famed Olaf Tyggvason who conquered much of northern Europe.

Hey! Klingons have a sense of honor and duty. Culturally they value honor and duty; it's not the Klingon way to kill the helpless or slaughter innocents. They seek glory in battle with worthy foes and don't sink to the deceitful manipulations of a Romulan.
This comparison dishonors all Klingons!

Someone please make a browser extension that sniffs search results and flags likely AI slop and SEO garbage that pings your search terms back at you before linking you to an unrelated site.

I'd actually pay for something that sifts through that crap so I don't have to.

Just going to leave this here.

I love the NX-01 utility coverall uniforms. Comfortable, pockets for things, work boots for getting shit done - everything makes sense.

So Trump's plan is to sue the law firm that also, sometimes, when they have time, makes movies and TV shows?
