The Star Trek universe is a little dimmer today with the passing of Walter Koenig. Thank you, Walter, for the memories, the inspiration, and for helping show us what Star Trek could be. Rest in peace. #WalterKoenig #StarTrek #PavelChekov #Chekov #StarTrekTOS #Babylon5

Sorrow will have its seasons and its reasons, but let us leave a window open for joy. Some days, simply carrying on asks more of us than anyone can see. Keep going gently. The effort matters because the life you are tending is your own.

The planet isn't "dying" of natural causes. Forests don't just disappear. They are logged. Oceans don't just choke. They are polluted. Rivers don't just dry up. They are diverted. This is not a tragedy. It's ecocide. And ecocide should be a crime. #StopEcocide

Happy #caturday from this adorable feral kitten who just showed up in my yard a few days ago. Not listed as a missing pet by any local groups so I’m going to try to catch this skittish baby and find her a home.

Phil Collins on Trump’s uniquely abrasive style: β€œHis whole manner is unattractive. Historically, presidents have been eloquent and elegant. Even if you don’t agree with them, you still respect them. But when somebody like Trump is as nasty as he is, you end up feeling dislike for him.”

By moving to the β€œcenter,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

We don’t talk enough about how much of our days have become entangled in determining what’s real. What’s genuine. What’s human or what’s synthetic. What’s worth our time after having already spent it. It’s a grotesque skill we’ve all been forced to master, and a waste of energy none of us can spare.

Whatever false claims Trump makes tonight, remember the facts: he’s been publicly saying for months that he wants to interfere in our elections. Tonight’s speech is designed to help him justify that. Do not fall for it.

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this β€” not in a million years. Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

"Bradley Cooper is starring in a major Hollywood film about January 6th directed by Sean Penn. The officers who were beaten that day are going to have their stories told to millions of people. Justice cmes in many forms. This is one of them." Really American

One of the greatest Kennedy Center Honors performances ever: Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, Jason Bonham on drums, and Shane Fontayne on electric guitar. It moved Robert Plant to tears as he watched alongside Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. (Edited for format)
