We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

Star Trek V,"The Film We Have a Complicated Relationship With" scene. Kirk is pictured talking in a dimly lit room, in close proximity with a Vulcan wearing a jesus robe named Sybok. Picture One, Sybok is speaking, and Kirk looks suspicious. Caption reads, "Now learn something about yourself." Picture two, Kirk speaking, caption reads, "No. I refuse." Alt in pic 1. Bonus alt: I swear I have the world's worst thesaurus, absolutely good for nothing. Not only is it terrible, it's terrible.

Google has removed Pride Month, Black History Month, and Holocaust Remembrance Day, from Google Calendar.

I now use DuckDuckGo as both my browser and default search.

Stop demonizing riots.
Is a post by zelly reads, "Stop demonizing riots. Without riots you'd still be working 10 to 12 hours 6 days a week." Black culture response, "Stop demonizing riots". Quazi normalcy response, "the main contradiction of liberal democracy is that it has largely been shaped through a history of various forms of illegal civil disobedience against entrenched power structures. Such civil disobedience is retrospectively seen as justified and the people committing it are retrospectively seen as heroes, But each successive generation is asked to believe that any further civil their obedience would be unreasonable."
