  • The dismissiveness is intense, no matter the fan base.

    “I can’t watch Star Trek any more because it’s woke.”

    Star Trek is the original, ultimate woke TV. Since the original series, they’ve always incorporated the “woke” of their times, starting with the casting of Uhura. The cast of Roots is sprinkled throughout, which includes Avery Brooks and Lavar Burton. They didn’t quite make it with a female second in command, she ended up as Nurse Chapel instead. Even so, Star Trek TOS is pretty woke for the times.

    I can’t imagine blinders aren’t worn regarding the Empire as well. Granted, this comes from recognizing authoritarianism for what it is.

    You say that, but you’ll have better luck on YouTube. You’ll put the song you want into Spotify and it will play any and all songs triggered by its “similar” algorithm. There’s a high probability it will take days of trying to hear a single, specific song on Spotify.









  • Not if we’re quietly having babies and keeping house.

    Only 50 years has passed since a good effort has been made to make us equal under the law and people are still losing their damn minds. This is the minor side of it, the rise of the far right is the worst of it.

    I anticipate MAGA going full force on declining birth rates once their done with their sledgehammers and bank account fill ups. Trump probably cleaned out Fort Knox.
