This is my old city journalist brain firing but I believe that the USA way of isolating everybody into unwalkable suburbia, requiring private cars for existence, & removing true public space has had a disastrous effect on the US's sense of community & empathy and we must, but won't, deal with that

The Forcible Assimilation into the Borg Act has passed the Borg-led senate with the help of 12 Federation votes. The bill will next head to the slimly Borg-led house where it'll be voted for by like 20+ Federation members in addition to the Borg majority, then will be sent to President Borg to sign

The Scroll of Truth meme -  an exploitable image series based on a web comic by artist Tate Parker, in which an explorer discovers a scroll that provides various unpleasant or unsettling truths, causing him to angrily toss the parchment away. In this adaption the text reads "I've finally found it... after all these years - THE SCROLL OF TRUTH!: 'efficient public transportation is more important than electric cars'...NYEHHH!" - as the character throws the scroll away on reading the unwanted information

I wish all of the people freaking out about drones in the sky knew about flightradar24 or other ads-b aggregators. You can see where almost all of the planes overhead are from and where they are going! You can even pull the signals from the planes with your own radio and contribute.
