Star Trek TNG, S2E9: Picard schools a bigot on bodily autonomy, fundamental rights, and respecting people's pronouns 10/10 this is the reason people like Star Trek

The Enterprise D is floating in to dock at a Starbase. It's futuristic, in a 1980's way, in that it looks a bit like a kitchen appliance designed for mashing potatoes at high speed, but with Christmas lights on the outside. In blue text we see the episode title: "The Measure Of A Man."

New cartoon: The RNLI

Cartoon titled “The RNLI: Some of the people they help,” showing six scenarios involving people rescued by the RNLI. Including a man caught by the tide, a YouTuber swimming without preparation, a middle-lane driver, a neighbour with different political opinions, a superyacht owner who forgot to refuel, and people crossing the Channel in a small boat. The final caption reads, “All human beings – all deserve saving.”

Herein lies one of the biggest recurring, and escalating, issues with hostile anti-asylum policies, they don't tackle gangs. Instead they penalise the victims of gangs. It isn't the gangs piloting boats, it is normally people seeking asylum who are forced to by the gangs. inews.co.uk/news/represe...

I don't think some people on the Left quite understand *why* so many Jews react negatively to some of the language that is so commonly trotted out about Israel on the Left these days. Perhaps this (from the National Front's newspaper in the 1970s), will go some way towards helping you understand.

From the national Front's newspaper: "Support the Intifada. Campaign for Palestinian rights. Zionism is racism."

Just saw a comment elsewhere that one of the amazing things about the LOTR films is their depiction of positive masculinity. The men hug, the talk about what the mean to each other, they cry. Oh and they defeat an army of the baddest villians ever. You can have both.

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."

It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..
