They don’t even pretend they want to protect women anymore. They harass victims of violent crime without a second thought. My greatest fear in life is that these vile ideas will infect my sons some day. I intend to inoculate them as best I can. They will know what consent is. They will know […]

I tried getting hired on LinkedIn by writing an essay about Spock, maybe that will work better here. When folks have asked me why I’m moving from consulting to seeking a job, I’ve sometimes said “I want to be part of a bridge crew.” It’s my Trekkie way of saying […] [Original post on beige.party]
Spock plays a musical instrument while other members of the Enterprise crew socialize. Meme text says: "I don't need friends, I've got this thing."

@futurebird it’s Lord of the Rings for our dipshit society. Tolkien has a bloodthirsty tyrant returning from the grave, DCC has an oligarchy built around an AI they don’t understand.
