Becoming a doctor in Star Trek must be more like training a veterinarian than an MD? You would have to learn about way more species than one, often with little ability to communicate. Maybe McCoy's line should have been "I'm a vet, not a bricklayer." Star Trek Geek Thought of the Day.

So it is stupid, weak, and foolish to be concerned about child exploitation? How will MAGA react to Trump's deplorable opinion of his base. Hillary has an answer. open.substack.com/pu...

Most voters are vibe voters. Trump won votes because folks thought he'd never talk down to them. Well, calling folks stupid, foolish, and weak is a problem worse than deplorable. So how will MAGA react? My latest on Substack open.substack.com/pu...

Have a Happy July 4.

Recharge--then get back to fighting fascism.

The Israel-Iran War Trump mood swings timeline. From God to F-bomb. All driven because Trump's delusion of bashing Obama in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech was slipping away.

Maybe the Trump-Musk feud is fake.

Donald Trump is reality television and Elon Musk is a social media creation. Neither are honest, so why is this feud true? Maybe this is a ham-fisted concert for Musk to re-establish his brand and sell some cars. Point is, never believe what you see.

While social media is a tool in the fight against fascism and Trump, remember these words of World War II wisdom. Get out and talk to real people!

So, Tesla has 10,000 Cybertrucks unsold and sitting around. If Trump still cares about Musk, this will be the bailout. New vinyl-wrapped USPS delivery vehicles.
