We all get lost out here
The deepest ditches line the righteous path
God said, 'Hold my beer’
He made a man so he could watch and laugh

This is the Fred Pohl story, "The Man Who Ate the World," where runaway abundance is the problem and, by law, the poorer you are, the more you have to consume.

Screenshot of a table. There is too much information in the table to fit within the character limit for this alt text. You can find the table in this reddit post where your screen reader will work nicely with it: https://www.reddit.com/r/murderbot/comments/1sp5s88/a_straightforward_guide_to_all_the_murderbot/

My friend is reading The Murderbot Diaries by @marthawells.com, which inspired me to finally make this guide to the series.

I'm pretty proud of this table. I tried really hard to make it easy to understand, since most sources for this information are pretty confusing.

As an Xer, a white person, a human, all the things, ofc I hate this--

+ the illusion of safety in a white supremacist system

+ wealth accumulation

= a lot of us are not aging well

+ we have to talk about what a chokehold these concepts have on our demographic

AND how to shift that

Dear Humans,

If a Dem candidate for 2028 is not running first on EXACTING SWIFT AND WONDERFUL JUSTICE on the war criminals in this administration, then you must join with me in throwing that candidate into the lake of fire.

Thanks,

gambling should be broadly legal but you should have to place all bets in person, it shouldn’t even be possible over the phone. if you want to bet on missile strikes, you should have to look another person in the face and say it out loud while a line of people behind you gets audibly angry at you

If you're under the age of 54, you've never seen a picture of the earth taken with you on it.

But what if it's shaped by Space: 1999 ?

Douglas Trumbull Saved STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE | TIFF YouTube video by TIFF

Brilliant short video with Douglas Trumbull talking very candidly about his work on Star Trek: The Motion Picture, a challenging production to say the least!

A rounded robot with banded arms and legs. It stands near a wall, surrounded by absolute darkness, holding aloft a sort of simlified Davy lamp that casts light all around it, onto the wall and floor. The robot has a defiant expression on its face, and is holding out its free hand, almost as if warding something off.

484) Hopebot. Finds you in the darkness and tells you that at the end of every tunnel is a light, no matter how bleak the future looks it is still unwritten, you are alive and a human being with mind, the universe's last defence against entropy. Rise. Continue. Be. #SmallRobotsRemastered

"Information wants to be free" is wrong. No, people don't want to pay for quality info, because schools don't drill philosophy and media literacy into students.

Deeply reported news or careful philosophical or statistical analysis isn't going to be about today's news. Quality takes time and $.

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

During the first airing of my Star Trek series where a kiss was objectionable; many southern stations pulled the episode & condemned the show. Using today’s vernacular it would absolutely be called“woke DEI crap”because it went against “norms” of society for its time. Not a lot seems to have changed.🤷🏼😑

And when the Next Gen came out; there was tons of hate because it “wasn’t Star Trek” and the cast probably was in fear from the fans. Again when the series with Bakula came out, it too was panned by the fans because it “wasn’t Star Trek.” Star Trek is different for everyone. 🤷🏼

William Shatner, 95, is stating the obvious 🖖

I want professional Democrats who take this kind of thing personally and carry grudges for a long time.
