With all the commercialization of this holiday, sometimes it's easy to forget the reason for it. This man had a vision of a better future for all of us. So when you're having your salmon and singing "Magic Carpet Ride", please remember Zefram Cochrane and all he did for us. Happy First Contact Day

Alt text: a graph showing a massive spike in anti-trans articles per 30 days. The x axis starts in 2012, most of the spike is just in the last decade The spike really starts to kick in around 2017 or so, corresponding almost *perfectly* with powerful sexual predators feeling threatened by MeToo.

So, basically Fillion wants to produce a Firefly animated series, but hasn’t sold it to any network yet and is hoping to get fans to loudly demand it. Strangely, he has the sense to make clear Whedon isn’t involved, but dumb enough to have Adam Baldwin still in the cast deadline.com/2026/03/nath...

There are *more* innocent Black people unfairly incarcerated today than there were in 1960. Hundreds of thousands more. 🤦🏿‍♂️ The racist gap in wealth *widened* between 1960 and 2013. 🤦🏿‍♂️ Segregation is *increasing* rather than decreasing in over 100 US cities. 🤦🏿‍♂️

Kansas is invalidating trans residents' licenses even if they HAVEN'T changed their gender markers, according to this reporting from @natezuke.bsky.social @assignedmedia.org: www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. — Assigned
A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

It is literally false that the Jews being hunted by Nazis were citizens, because the first step toward genocide was stripping them of citizenship and making them stateless. As Arendt reminds us, citizenship is a legal category created to facilitate a machinery of exclusion of the out-group.
Tweet from Batya Ungar-Sargon: "Beyond disgusting. Gov. Walz is comparing the innocent Jews that the Gestapo were hunting for extermination—who were citizens—to the illegal migrant murderers, rapists, sex offenders, and child abusers that ICE is seeking to deport because they broke our laws again and again."

Abolish ICE and move the billions to the United States Capitol Police so that they can provide actual protective details to all 535 members. I think you’d find many of our leaders would gain some courage to oppose Trumpism.

Some safety tips for the big storm! Be safe, everybody.
IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST WINTER STORM, REMEMBER FOUR TIPS:
1. FILL UP YOUR TUB AND/OR POTS WITH WATER FOR YOUR TOILET.
2. DO NOT USE PROPANE HEATERS INDOORS. THE FUMES KILL.
3. EVERYONE STAYING IN ONE ROOM CONSOLIDATES WARMTH.
4. THE NORWEGIAN CAMP DIDN'T DESTROY ITSELF. ONE OF YOU IS THE THING.

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.
