I've been rewatching Star Trek the Next Generation lately. I still love it. I've noticed a few recurring themes that pop up. So this will be my thread of common Next Generation plots ... In no particular order ...

Why is my country doing a bit of that scene in Idiocracy where he gets out of jail by just telling the moronic jailers that he is meant to be getting released. And why do we keep doing the same bit? It wasn't funny the first time

Avec Grokipedia, Elon Musk veut enterrer Wikipédia et imposer sa vérité
En lançant Grokipedia, son encyclopédie "sans biais" censée corriger Wikipédia – qu'il juge trop à gauche –, Elon Musk prétend libérer le savoir de l'idéologie. Mais derrière la prétendue neutralité de l'intelligence artificielle utilisée pour alimenter la plateforme se profile une nouvelle offensive politique.

The end logic of this if you’re in the UK btw is DEFEND THE BBC.
Complain about it, protest bad coverage of course, but we won’t get another institution that makes safe, publicly funded, reliable, human-created, vetted content for kids if we let the BBC get destroyed.

Profit is getting the best of humanity, and perhaps has been more so in 2025 than at any other time in history. It's so disconcerting to watch the only known advanced life in the universe become the architect of its own destruction.

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Quick reminder that we have warned for ages that Starmer+Streeting’s NHS plans didn’t hold water, because they’ve withheld the actual funds to realise them.
Here’s what will happen next- the media will wring hands, then insist that private capital is both necessary and urgent🚨
