Man, I really wanted to like Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Truly, I did. But sorry: it was bad! Not uniformly. The concept was great. The casting was meh but workable. Got off to a slow start, but that's basically a franchise retirement. But the storylines? Bad!

THE HOMETOWN HOLLER
Fear & Loathing in North Carolina (Feat.
Blair Reeves)
JUN 16,2025 • 43:19 LEFT
This week on The Hometown Holler podcast, we sit down with Blair Reeves—North Carolina's favorite Waffle House Democrat and co-founder of Carolina Forward. Blair breaks down how the collapse of local media and a decade of ruthless gerrymandering paved the way for unchecked corruption in Raleigh. We dig into how the GOP supermajority seized control-and what it means for our schools, environment, voting rights, and future. What will it take to fight back and restore sanity in North Carolina politics? Blair's got ideas.

If I'm reading the votes correctly, if there were 3 additional living Democrats in the U.S. House, the Republicans could not have passed the reconciliation bill they just did. Another RBG effect - the ego of the olds wreaking long-term damage. Absolutely damning indictment of the Democrats.

The wrong reason to be mad at the Democrats is that they're not lefty enough or whatever. The proper reason to be mad at the Democrats is that the party leadership is a gerontocracy and they're sorta okay with that.

TIL that there are still areas in northeastern France - zone rouge - that are still so devastated from World War One that they're legally restricted from any use. No housing or farming is allowed there due to the vast amount of human and animal remains and unexploded ordnance.

They don't have any plan. There's no Big Conspiracy, in the formal sense; it's just a pure war on competence. They're careless people, breaking things, and don't particularly care because they know they won't be around when it comes time for picking up the pieces.

AOC drawing an audience of thousands in Utah, a Trump +22 state that is absolutely not politically competitive in any way, suggests that maybe crowd sizes aren't really very meaningful.

Just a reminder that a lot of the glib stock market/investing wisdom you read about on social media might be fine advice if you're a professional trader with a 7-figure fund. But if you're playing around with a Robinhood account, a lot of that doesn't apply to you. You're the chum.

All the tariff memes are pretty good, but I can only imagine the memes circulating over on weibo right now making fun of Americans for thinking they're going to manufacture iphones. We can't even build houses in this country. You want me to attach a rear photo array??

The reason to oppose the Trumper assault on ivy league universities is because of its capricious corruptness. Targeted research defunding is being done purely for political theatrics, to punish institutions for expression. That's awful. That said, I have no love for these institutions themselves.

This insight, from @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, is one that a lot of liberals will have a hard time accepting - but it's true. Houston has a lot of problems. But more people can afford to live there than, like, NYC or Boston. So they do, and that matters.

9 years ago, Musk got big coverage for saying that his target for manned flights to Mars was 2025. 2025 has arrived. Those flights to Mars have not. Instead Musk has destroyed a social media co, is destroying a car co, and is wrecking US govt + US economy. www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-swi...

Nothing is clearer by now than the fact that few profiles in courage are emerging from our elite class. They have largely chosen capitulation instead. It's time to replace them instead.

This might be a very constructive development for society. VCs are not politicians or judges or pastors. They’re in an adversarial market and objective reality is a far larger binding constraint than for other flavors of cultist.
