Happy LGBTQ+ in STEM Day! I’m celebrating with the dapper Invisible Enby, who is a queer fashion metaphor for the way dark matter shapes visible matter in the cosmos. Want to learn more? Preorder my new book, where they appear! 🧪

The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Counterpoint: Worf's personality in a lot of TNG episodes was just him saying, "We should do violence," so Picard could say, "We shall do nonviolence!" In DS9, Worf was thoughtful (his spiel about legends lives rent free), hilarious, found true love, and shaped the course of the Klingon empire.
Hot take: Worf (the character, not Michael Dorn) was not needed on Deep Soace Nine. He doesn't add enough to the show to justify him being there.
I get the historical reason why he was added, but it wasn't the right creative choice. #treksky

It is actually not mandatory for everyone else in the room when he does this to women in front of witnesses to just giggle nervously and ignore it. People could actually do the decent thing that one does in such circumstances, and tell him to back off, and take the consequences. I mean for starters.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Read this very carefully. A man who emigrated to the US as a child, as a WWII refugee, has been taken by ICE for being in the country "illegally."
In no world, never mind in a country that claims to support the rights of individuals, should that sort of thing happen.

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.
