I was gonna share Liz Kloczkowski's post about her new book, #StarTrek: Picard Rebuilding the Bridge about how she recreated the USS Enterprise-D's iconic bridge, but then I thought, 'Why don't I write an article and tell ScreenRant's global audience about the book?' 🖖 Liz is a hero.

Refutations to Anti-Vaccine Memes Originally this cartoon was about Covid vaccination, but it's just as relevant to measles, pertussis, and all the other vaccine-preventable diseases.

ALT TEXT: a single panel cartoon by cartoonist Bill Bramhall. It shows a road through a desert, with a sign with an arrow pointing forwards. The sign reads:
HERD IMMUNITY
An obese man is sitting on a huge iron ball chained to the leg of a man crawling along the road towards the sign. The obese man's shirt reads:

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez won a historic sum of $375 million in a landmark child safety case against Meta earlier this year. The next stage of the fight begins today, and it could be even more consequential for Meta and the social media industry at large.

The President truthed today that “Hakeem Jeffries, a Low IQ individual” should be impeached. The President is presumably a High IQ individual as evidenced by his ability to distinguish a bear from a giraffe, a lion, and a shark. Yet he doesn’t realize that members of Congress cannot be impeached?

Reminder that the Trump regime is still blowing up suspected “drug boats” — killing 185 people since September. But no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.
