At ~40yr old I’m still learning who I am, but I definitely know I follow the humanist pro-IDIC “religion” of Star Trek. May our Sacred Treks guide us to a brighter future.

Yes, the cashier on their feet full-time should be able to afford rent, groceries, and healthcare with their paycheck.

And the custodian. And the fry cook. And the waitress. And and and.

I’m still plugging away at this script if anyone wants to help in some way or just chat with me about it.
I’ve decided I’m going to for real build a Star Trek themed Visual Novel (like a dating sim video game). If anyone thinks they can help with art or programming, I need a team!
My script is half written and code is started in RenPy with temp art as proof of concept.

It's also domestic aid. USAID used food bought from US farmers. So the farmers get the money, the aid recipients get fed, and the US gets soft power it can utilize to get what it wants without the military.

Literally a win for all 3 parties but the fascists are too stupid to understand.

NEW: Common Crawl, the massive archiver of the web, has gotten cozy with AI companies and is providing paywalled articles for training data. They’re also lying to publishers who have asked for material to be removed. “The robots are people too,” CC’s exec director told us when we asked about this.

Common Crawl claims to provide a public benefit, but it lies to publishers about its activities.

Writing fantasy is trying to figure out what to call a French braid when there is no France.
Writing about fantasy cephalopods is typing “She winked” and having to look up whether octopi can wink (they can)
Being a fantasy writer is typing "they extended an olive branch" and then going "shit, do they even have olives in this world?"

BTW, I voted for today. If you’re in the US even if the local elections are for minor things, please do the minimum of your civic duty and vote. Apathy is the bane of democracy.

Evidently, there’s a Republican in the NYC mayoral race? 🤨

The only thing all of us non-New Yorkers see is a full fascist regime endorsement for Cuomo.

It’s Election Day nationwide.
Do not let apathy or complacency silence your voice.
Every Dem vote counts towards saving our democracy.

VOTE! 🗳️

what star trek political opinion would you have if you lived in-universe?

too many starfleet vessels are named after earth humans and earth historical events
what star trek political opinion would you have if you lived in universe? would you still be weird about the xindi? would you be one of the people who protests the Klingon embassy in Paris? Me, i'd be a borg truther

I once saw a woman take a photo of a nice flower, saying "Social Media won't feed itself" and now I know the secret... if we stop fucking feeding it, it might just die.

Hey, if I decided to start over in Animal Crossing, do I have any moots who'd let me come visit their island at some point so I could pick up fruit?

My mum plays 2 years (!!!!!) in the past so I don't believe I can visit her island.

The second-to-last chapter. The final chapter will not be posted over the weekend, but I can't pin down which day between Monday and Wednesday it will go up.

i can't claim to know Kat as well as I'd like but there's never been a shred of doubt in my mind that she believes what she says and is willing to put her body on the line for that belief. I admire her.
Kat Abugazeh’s campaign has crossed a threshold where the risk she’s taking is significant enough and the actions admirable enough I sorta am past caring if it’s a publicity stunt/brand building exercise or not, it’s still brave and worthy of respect.

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

I almost had a minor in English at university and never learned this as how to tell when to use me vs I in a sentence!!!
"Gale and I", you have to (unfortunately) remove Gale from the sentence to figure out whether or not you would say "me" or "I".

So is it "this wizard tower belongs to Gale and me" or "Gale and I?" Well, would you say "this tower belongs to me" or "this tower belongs to I?" Obviously, you
