Brilliant read on why the Borg give us the creeps, and how eerily similar they are to today’s technofascists…

👀 The word "bias" is often used in an accusatory manner by anyone who doesn't like news they're watching or reading.
🤔 But how can bias actually show up in media reports? And how can everyone check their own bias when consuming news?

"I don't like who I am when I engage in this relationship" is a 100% valid reason to end, or plan on ending, a relationship with a person, job, therapist, political party, or habit. You do not "owe" loyalty to relationships that harm your goals or are inconsistent w/ your values.

I think someone let yamtits watch (probably to just, ya know, entertain him) #theamericanrevolution #kenburns & now he’s learned new words. So “sedition” come on… not yamtits. & as a malignant narcissist, can only frame the story around himself. Sidenote, it’s now a calm watch re: L&O.

One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.

So I got firmly locked into #KenBurns#AmericanRevolution, I learned things. & almost shook my head OFF every time they were like -“We’ll be SLAVES!” Especially when they mostly wanted the Indigenous land West of the Mississippi & needed the King out of their way.

Another funny story, when I was a kid I went on a ski trip to France (IKR!) & we had to perform for the French children & this was one of the songs we sang. It was a group of Black kids from the SouthSide of Chicago singing this in the French Swiss Alps. The ‘80’s were wild.
