If it feels like every tragedy gets twisted by MAGA into proof that people outside their movement are dangerous, you’re not imagining it. That instinct has a name in psychology, and MAGA has turned it into a political strategy.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

I love old interviews like this, before Star Trek became hugely popular. What strikes me is that Shatner and Nimoy are both very thoughtful, but not about the same thing. Shatner is more attentive to his *performance*; Nimoy is more attentive to his *character*…

I know today is the 46th Anniversary of The Motion Picture, but yesterday was the 34th Anniversary of The Undiscovered Country. Not my favorite Star Trek movie, but it had my favorite Star Trek trailer… I was in High School when this came out and was so excited for it!

Technically non-canon since it only existed as a refit version in TWoK. However a TOS version exists in David Mack’s Vanguard series and this USS Buenos Aires design is a true “Dream Given Form” by Donny Versiga.

I knew I was a science fiction fan once I first read Clarke. My favorite science fiction author.
