one of the things a lot of technocrats don't get about Star Trek is that the future of Star Trek?

He does not want Star Trek. He wants to co-opt the aesthetic of Star Trek to sell his techno-feudalist futurist wet dream. Star Trek hates men like him.
"We want to make Star Trek real," said Elon Musk.
"We want to make Starfleet Academy real so that it's not always science fiction, but one day the science fiction turns to science fact."

This! If Musk or Bezos or Altman or Bill Gates truly wanted to make Star Trek real, they could do it right now by spending all their wealth to help dismantle this capitalist colonial system.

A section of an upcoming script I'm doing on reactionary pop culture grifters like Nerdrotic and The Critical Drinker.
![(2 of 4) And it’s especially ironic given that Hollywood, until its recent rightward pivot in response to conservative cultural backlash as we see playing out now at companies like Paramount perhaps best exemplified by their hiring of Bari Weiss to turn their news arm into basically conservative state propaganda, was more than happy to performatively include diversity for profit. It’s also why so much of the reactionary “criticism” aimed at the Star Wars sequel movies, or more interestingly, Star Wars: The Acolyte or, more recently, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, isn’t about their actual flaws. But what's interesting in both those latter cases is why they were so specifically targets of ire. Both Acolyte and Academy are shows that highlight not only a more diverse cast but, even more interestingly, actually centered, with varying levels of quality mind you, perspectives from marginalized communities within those francises that are more willing to question liberal institutions - like how the Jedi in The Acolyte are framed as essentially space cops for the Republic [clip of this] or how in Starfleet Academy, many of the young main character actively question and challenge the concept that Starfleet is an inherently good liberal institution by virtue of its legacy of progressivism alone, but instead an institution that needs to change and be held accountable for its past harm and attempts to create a homogenized Federation culture that subsumes diversity rather then uplifts it, something that other recent shows like Strange New Worlds did not do (and “shockingly” did not get as much intense backlash for). [clip of that]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cpwg5fkxgedy7ocka5smtxvb/bafkreiaof3ohkj2nnbroyf77332ljjcxxpjvrdhxpnabrmbdivjidxrcf4@jpeg)
![(3 of 4) Instead, legitimate critiques of these shows were selectively weaponized by grifters to construct a narrative of victimhood, one where a supposedly “woke” Hollywood is imagined as actively hostile to straight white men. [clip of that] This is where I’m reminded of Sarah Z’s excellent video on “sacrificial trash,” which looks at how shows or films with real, obvious flaws—often ones that are more aesthetically inclusive or more openly questioning of state power—are singled out and have their flaws amblifeid in order to treat them as symbolic failures aand reasons why “wokeness” and including maraganlized perspectives in storys beyond them being a token side character is “bad storytelling” actually. Even when those stories ultimately end up reaffirming the goodness of institutions through reform that they gesture toward critiquing, as we saw with Star Wars: The Acolyte or Star Trek Discovery, they’re framed as proof that inclusion itself is the problem. This pattern is especially pronounced in long-running franchises that historically centered the perspectives of white liberal men. As those franchises tentatively widened their scope, they became ideal targets for right-wing grievance narratives. And that’s why projects like Starfleet Academy are increasingly being preemptively attacked by grifters: as Hollywood itself grows more conservative, there are fewer opportunities left to convincingly sell the story that “woke Hollywood” is out to destroy traditional values.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cpwg5fkxgedy7ocka5smtxvb/bafkreiag2gseths4gpjczswxvk5iw2cvdrktqit2xjtwrpvyf57a57fpam@jpeg)

I totally support people not wanting to give Paramount money and won't watch Starfleet Academy. But when talking about it, remember, Academy was mostly made before the Skydance merger & the creatives on the show don't necessarily support David Ellison but can't speak out about it due to their jobs.

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

hotels are allergic to all kinds of towel racks and hooks and surfaces you can put your things on in bathrooms (and in the shower, so you have to bend down for shampoo). nobody knows whjy is that but it seems to be universal thing

It took 90 years to complete. But, in 2011, scholars at the University of Chicago finally published a 21-volume dictionary of Akkadian, the language used in ancient Mesopotamia.

Scully and Mulder are branded sceptic and a believer, but I like how these roles can be very easily reversed, because while Mulder's theories can be out of whack, he's always ready to test them, and Scully tends to use science as a shield in a "this is how the world IS, that's it" way, it's cool
