Resistance is futile is literally what the Borg says in Star Trek. That’s why I’m part of a podcast (on hiatus) called Resistance is Fertile @thestartrekpod.bsky.social

AP cannot be seem as a reliable source if this is the policy.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a corridor on the Enterprise. Two non series regular crew members are standing behind Spock in a bodyguard stance. (Tough guy bodyguard vibe, not Kevin Coster/Whitney Houston bodyguard vibe). Spock is wearing a dress uniform with extra flair, medals, and pins, a golden sash, and has a goatee. He's looking at Kirk, who seems a bit cocky and is wearing a glittery fancy gold sleeveless uniform. Closed caption reads, "Terror must be maintained or the empire is doomed."

A 1995 ‘Star Trek’ Episode About Homeless Camps Feels Eerily Relevant | Woman's World In 1995, an episode of 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’ called 'Past Tense' imagined a future of walled-off homeless camps. Three decades later, its warning feels eerily real.

yes!!
is it imagination or paying attention? (often both for storytellers)

when looking at history, patterns & what's happening in the present (often elsewhere & usually caused by the storytellers countries imperialist/colonial actions) it will get you there!
