Star Trek existed before corporate facists took it over. I have hundreds of pre ellison episodes and many movies to enjoy. Remember we watched 12 years of reruns before we saw the original cast in a movie.
Where’s Uhura?
Racism, sexism, homophobia and misogyny.
It is and will remain terrible!
That’s really him in the airport
#RIP #JesseJackson and for those who are throwing shade, Jesse Jackson’s actions in the 1950s-1980s had him marked for death and yet he persisted.
Worf also comes into his own
Picard is a slow build. It hits its stride in season 4.
If your are Black or Brown, never honk!

Look in the mirror #america. The current occupant of the ythouse is signaling who he’s coming after next. Are people paying attention? www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...
Don’t hear much from this guy these days. All very performative in hindsight #jackdorsey #woke
It's worth noting that ICE and CBP shot more of those vulnerable neighbors *in-between* Good and Pretti. And yet...
You know what nevermind.

Only speak good of the dead. #scottadams is dead…
14/ There's no clean exit from this. No exclamations of qapla'. Just a realization that the path ahead may well be paved by the bodies of a few and the souls of many.
13/ Worf said, “there are people who share in the lies and the dishonor.” He wasn’t only naming a bad leader, he was naming the system around the leader. And that’s the situation, not just a person doing it, but a network sharing in in the lies, dishonor and sadly profiting from it .
12/ Once the lie becomes identity, the "our side” lies trotted out as facts become attacks. The test shifts from “is it true?” to “repeat it anyway?”
11/ The pattern stays the same: something happens → a “version” is announced → anyone pointing at the record gets framed as disloyal.
10/ Because the lie doesn’t travel alone. It moves through titles, microphones, donor lists, and verified accounts—repeated with discipline, fervor and claims of america firts whether truthful or not.
9/ That’s the U.S. version too. The leader can say and increasingly do anything and the support system turns it into “just politics.”
8/ Gowron’s real power isn’t the title. It’s how many people treat the title like it makes him right, people who know he is full of it but go along.
7/ This is where #StarTrek story telling comes is: Worf backs The Klingon Leader for “the good of the Empire”… until it’s clear the Empire is serving Gowron and his cronies.
6/ Don’t clap and you’re “unpatriotic,” “the problem,” “against us.” It’s a loyalty test with a flag sticker on it.
