Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

The American security guarantees: Sorry, guys. Budapest Memorandum was never voted in Congress, Clinton's gone, it's on him. But trust us, when you give up Donbas to russia under similarly vague assurances, we'll always be there for you. Seriously, why go they think everyone is an idiot?

Pete Hoekstra can just fuck right off!

Eight games. Two hockey powers. One series that pushed players to their limits. The 1972 Summit Series was gruelling from start to finish, with every game carrying the weight of a rivalry that went far beyond the ice: https://youtu.be/L3U_dgkfn8o?si=w1sQpJNieiXN9hwG

Or, hear me out, ​maybe they should fuck off back across the border, and then no one will bomb them again?

Maybe they shouldn't be murdering babies in their strollers in the park like they did today? ​Maybe they should stop an almost 5-year-long bombing campaign against Ukrainian infrastructure designed to plunge us into a humanitarian disaster and force us to surrender? How about that?

The Supreme Court burns to the ground in Albania, Parliament and the Department of Education has been stormed, the Prime Minister is in hiding and the country is effectively in the hands of the rebels. Albania rejects blatant corruption and their country being sold.

You pay fuel duty, why don’t billionaires? Last week I took over a petrol station in Essex to give regular people the chance to pay tax like a billionaire. At Jetrol, if you have wings on your car, your fuel is duty free. Fill up and sign the petition at jetrol.vip

The wood is full of watching eyes. The wood is full of sharp teeth. The wood is full of things that makes burrows in the dark beneath. – Trad. Hookland rhyme

The Hornéd God has summoned the crows

Let's be super clear about this. The Trump regime is knowingly, willfully, and deliberately enabling Russian genocide of Ukrainians in order to force Ukraine to surrender to Russia. Will NATO nations STILL continue to play along with the evil facade of DC as "peace broker"?

Indeed. Fuck off.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

America now runs on Argentinian beef, Russia Diesel, and measles.

ZELENSKYY: At this very moment, when we are talking about peace, America gives Russia the opportunity to export diesel — that's millions, billions. It all goes toward the war against people, against Ukraine, against all of us.

russia: We will nuke Europe! Europe: You're our enemy. russia: Did you just call us an ENEMY?! 😭

I am a witch for all those near broken. I am a witch for those scraped raw by trying to climb high walls, cut by having to walk on glass scattered by hollow-hearted bastards. I am a witch for those needing transformation, bound to pain. For witches understand the bruised. - #EmilyCBanting #WitchSky

JON STEWART: “So in the FUTURE we WILL use A.I. to cure diseases… but right now it’s mostly murder, surveillance, and surge pricing for the McRib — What a trade! I’m getting the sense you guys might be full of shit.”

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

Curious how you can help? We ask that you sign our petition for Wizards to voluntarily recognize our union, share it with your communities, and keep an eye on this account for future updates! actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

we don't have time for another plague apocalypse. we already did that. we're on to robot apocalypse now, try to catch up. next in line is fungal apocalypse. please consult the schedule

never the wrong time for this classic

Wpg Jets hanging on to a wildcard spot. #winnipegjets

The State Department held top level meeting with Alberta separatists. They discussed trading Canada's fresh water resources for support to destroy our country. The US has mapped out a strategy to break us apart internally. Canadian officials need to take this seriously. youtube.com/shorts/ClAgi...

I will die on the hill that Wikipedia and the internet archive are some of the greatest legacies of the internet, and I’d rather the internet exist so they could exist rather than not have the internet at all.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

Canada should not be pursuing close economic or military ties with the US. It'll be used against us, not shield us from harm. It's deeply misguided to pretend we can protect ourselves by ingratiating ourselves or making ourselves "indispensable" to DC. Distance = independence.

Books are ghost magnets. This means every good library has it phantoms. A density of Dewey Decimal Classification is spirits what a saucer of beer is to slugs. Of course we understand ghosts desire to haunt libraries. Thousands of books and the time to read them is a heaven. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

#OTD in 2018, optical physicist Dr. Donna Strickland became the third woman to win the #Nobel Prize in Physics and the first in 55 years. Strickland (+Drs. Ashkin & Mourou) won for advancing the science of lasers & creating extremely useful tools out of laser beams. 🧵 #WomenInSTEM #physics

Naomi Klein Is Spot On.......

Polish FM Sikorski: "Kremlin’s assets frozen in Europe are never going back to Russia. They can be used in the future as war reparations or to help Ukraine rebuild, or they can be used now to help prevent further destruction and make future reconstruction cheaper."

The National Post attack on NDP Leader Avi Lewis crosses the line into threat. They invoke the same religious code words used by extremists who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin. It is unacceptable to use religious intimidation to shut down debate on Gaza. charlieangus.substack.com/p/national-p...

PM Carney announced a massive increase in drone production -from 2,000 to 2 million in 2 years. Canada's joint operation command are gaming out scenarios for combat on Canadian territory. We pray it will never come to this but Canada is preparing for all eventualities. youtu.be/Z6TVVnPk4Ws?...

Forget a Golden Dome. What the US needs to build is a way to prevent incoming drones. Something like a sky… net…

#OTD in 1992, Dr. Mae Jemison launched into orbit as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour making her the first Black woman to travel into space. An incredible life: + Physician (M.D., Cornell 1981) + Peace Corps Area Medical Officer in Sierra Leone & Liberia #WomenInSTEM 🧵

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11 Canada is being openly threatened by the United States. They have forgotten our immense outpouring of solidarity. We must remember the other 9/11 - Sept 11, 1973 when the US overthrew the government of Chile. Lessons learned. No pasaran. youtu.be/BMO9EnpHYUA?...

Some trees are more than hedge anchors, landmarks in the lane. They stand out as guardians, green monarchs of their kingdoms. At twilight there is often a sense of them wishing to speak of what they have seen – whether to give a blessing or warning is hard to tell. – #DAKilroy, 1982

Sixty years ago today, the starship Enterprise launched and with it, a vision of the future where humanity had moved beyond its divisions. I was there at the beginning, and I can tell you...
