Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.

"I NEVER SAW A WILD THING SORRY FOR ITSELF" - D.H. Lawrence Lick your wounds, honey. Walk it off. It's okay if you had to bite those hands to keep them from reaching. It's okay if the middle was actually the end. I know, you feel like sunsets are your story, but you still have your heart like morning. Come now, heave your aching body, leave that dead thing to rot in the dirt. I know, love caught you like a collar, but you still have your heart like water. I know, you feel broken open, but you still have your heart like a seed, split and growing green in the sun. L.E. Bowman

I Never Saw a Wild a Thing Sorry for Itself ~ L.E. Bowman

"They went door-to-door to tell their neighbors what the city had not told them: The data center would use twice as much electricity as all of Monterey Park."

star TREK is still goofy a lot of times to be clear lol but it's not just "scrappy young fighter with special abilities saves the day" over and over and over again

Screenshot of quote by Gene Roddenberry (creator of Star Trek): "Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms. [...] If we cannot learn to actually enjoy those small differences, to take a positive delight in those small differences between our own kind, here on this planet, then we do not deserve to go out into space and meet the diversity that is almost certainly out there."

star WARS takes place "a long time ago in a galaxy far far away." whereas star TREK was intentionally created to envision a future for humanity where we've learned to actually cherish & seek out diversity, equality, justice

to me the diff between star Wars & star Trek is that star Wars is a sandbox, the same ideas & characters & main conflicts reblended and sometimes it's great (Andor, Rebels) but it's fundamentally, explicitly distanced from humanity's future in a way that really stunts the story universe imo

i think when it comes to literary references Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country takes the cake

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

real laugh/sob to go from the hilarious opening tidbit about Kash Patel mistakenly thinking he'd been fired and frantically calling aides & allies about it, to him using our tax dollars to polygraph FBI employees about whether they've ever said anything mean about him. fucking pathetic
