Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

![Star Trek The Original Series scene. Montgomery Scott, in his red uniform and with a floral red velvety looking backdrop, looks happy. Like, just SO happy. He's beaming, not StarTrek beaming, just happy beaming.

I think @claudiabalboni.bsky.social's art continues to be underrated or under-noticed here in the US, honestly.
They didn't talk about the natural... So it became supernatural! 🩸

The treatment for my incurable cancer impairs my resistance to germs. It would be nice if the HHS secretary would fight the spread of disease because not all of us can afford to be an insane selfish asshole like him.
RFK Jr: I'm not scared of a germ. I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats.

If this is true then I can't tell you how much it sucks , so so many artistic fans out there would kill to have thier name in the credits of a #StarTrek show and you already have so many fantastic artists working for you .

To hell with a Joe Rogan for the left. Can I have a Mitch McConnell for Democrats, please? Imagine having someone who would go as hard in the paint for civil rights as McConnell did for antiblackness.

🧵I watched Forbidden Planet last night. Hadn't seen it for decades. A super-intelligent race is destroyed, despite its technological advances, by its own subconscious primitive fears and greed, 'the monster of the ID'. Hashtag AI, etc.
Anyway, couldn't help but notice how the film influenced others.

Today I swam in an underground cave, down a 750 meter river, and across two ponds. In the Mexican jungle.
