An infinite number of modern Trek writers typing for an infinite amount of time could never come up with something as great and inspiring as Kirk's 'Risk is our Business' speech.

[Sacred Cow Shipyards @SCShipyards]

Star Trek was, at its core, competence porn: skilled people doing their jobs well & improving each other and themselves in the process.

Now it's "identity" porn: every character is most interested in showcasing how special they are, but for hardly any actual, earned reasons.

One of the reasons Canadians pay more for products and services compared to the US is because Canadians can afford it.

I guarantee the second UBI would be introduced, everyone would be hiking prices because we can now afford to pay a little more.

[Lucy 🇨🇦 @TheBlueGem3]

A universal basic income would provide all Canadians an additional income above what they currently make. It would eliminate government program bureaucracy by putting current social support programs under one umbrella, it would stimulate our economy, allow citizens to….1/2

There are already machine learning tools that can do that. You don't need destructive GenAi to do it.

[Ethan Nicolle @AXECOP]

There are tons of jobs in animation and film production that are grueling and soulless. Inbetweens. Rotoscoping. Color flatting. Nobody got into the industry to do these jobs. If AI can do those jobs, that’s a win. Let the soulless tech take over the jobs that crush souls.

A bunch of people who have never had to work a day in their life running a country is a bad idea.

OMG Ted, anyone over 21 in America remembers how you refused to stand up for YOUR OWN WIFE in 2016, and your opponent was a flabby 70+ draft-dodger who is infamously AFRAID OF STAIRS

Trump on Joe Biden (2024): “He has an ability to fall asleep while on camera…in minutes, he’s stone-cold out…You’ll never see me sleeping in front of a camera.”

@illusionsMD @SakakiIsCute They watched a podcast and decided to treat it as gospel instead of doing their own reading and forming their own opinions.

If you don't give enough of a shit to get your hands dirty to actually make a game yourself, why would I give enough of a shit to play it?

[⭕ AI & Design (Marco) @AIandDesign]

The anti AI sentiment outside of our bubble is quite extreme. A lot of people have no idea. Shared my FREE snes game on /r/snes and various folks don’t talk about the game but only come at me for having built it with Claude.

[Darryn M. Briggs @darryn_briggs]

Less than 2 weeks ago in Charles Barkley's home state of Alabama, Trump's Supreme Court OK'd a map stealing a congressional district and representation from Black people like him.

No, Adam Silver, this isn't a way to bridge any divide. This is ego stroke and capitulation.

Idea:

A site like RateMyProfessor but it's for judges and people can submit instances of public menaces being repeatedly released.

For all the mainstream stories we see, there are undoubtedly thousands more we don't.

They actually make their art. You *were* an artist then you got lazy and became a sloperator.

[Finn McKenty @thefinnmckenty]

When people leave shitty comments about how I suck for using AI and I should make “real art” like they do, I check out their profile and without exception, their work is always complete ass.

[Chris Alvino @ChrisAlvino]

All these jiblets have this weird investor mindset that only investor money counts as "having skin in the game"

But sacrificing, working long hours for less than minimum wage to actually CREATE the thing does not count as "skin in the game". Only money counts.

Fucking jiblets.

Goddamn I can't even remember the last time I saw this level of investigative journalism.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

The russian refinery says alumina shipped from Ireland does not end up in weapons.

The Irish Government seems uninterested in testing that claim.

So I took a sample myself.

It will now be compared with battlefield debris from Ukraine.

This should have been done by the state.

Wasn’t none of this happening before trump came, dude carries bad vibes everywhere smh

[BanksyCat @Banksycat]

North Belfast is about to erupt.

Eyewitnesses are reporting the victim is a teenage boy. Locals are saying he has died. The attacker was shouting in a foreign language while repeatedly attacking his head and neck. Bystanders dragged him off before police arrived.

None of this confirmed by PSNI. None reported by MSM.

Over ten hours. No victim condition update. No identity of the attacker. Nothing.

The community knows. They were there. They saw it. They are telling each other right now.

Even the local DUP councillor is demanding the PSNI give residents the information and reassurance they deserve. When elected politicians are publicly pushing for answers you know the silence has become deafening.

PSNI called it a stabbing incident. RTÉ called it a stabbing incident. Same language. Same night.

Nobody is disputing the video. Nobody is disputing the attack. What IS being disputed is what we call it.

That matters. What they call it determines how it's investigated. How it's charged. How it's remembered. Whether it counts.

When you import large numbers of people from places where institutions have collapsed, where rule of law doesn't exist, where tribal violence is normal and policing is a fiction. You don't just import people. You import the consequences.

Hampshire Police called Henry Nowak the aggressor. Twice. While his killer's confession sat on a secret van recording in Punjabi nobody was meant to find.

Language is never accidental.

Authority silence doesn't calm a community. It pours petrol on them.

If the victim is a child and he has died the public deserves to know. Not tomorrow. Not once the story is buried.

NOW. Update your statement. Before the volcano erupts.

Watch the video. Read the statement. You decide.

Republicans might want to workshop this one.
