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.

As much as I'd like it to be true, Ukraine bombing Yandex data centers didn't stop russian bots. I'm sorry. there's rich politicians & companies shaping our opinions through social media manipulation. but we need to regulate the fuck out of social media. & bomb russia youtu.be/kx80tB6A8x0?...

on the "panic" around rising family estrangement rates: so many of these articles downplay the reasons why adult children go no contact with their parents, & there's almost always reasons. missing missing reasons in the parent's retelling.

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social

Every article has the same premise: Young people are characterizing their normal, happy childhoods as abusive and going "no contact" with their parents over minor disagreements. Every article also, late in the text, blithely acknowledges that this premise is false. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/h...

Since the US ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ administration HAS OPTED TO support a genocidal, imperialist, fascist regime, Ukraine will resume hitting Russian oil refineries. Ukraine paused for three days. Russia kept killing civilians. โ€œThe ban has been lifted,โ€ Zelenskyy told the FT. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Ukrainian geopolitics has very simple rules. We can criticize Zelenskyy ourselves. We can criticize everyone else too. And if someone tries to build their political reputation by throwing Ukraine under the bus, Ukrainian internet will make sure they remember the experience.

Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.

So many of the same โ€œintellectualsโ€ who are obsessed with undermining the existence of trans people are also obsessed with undermining the Cornell rape victimโ€™s testimony. Itโ€™s almost like they donโ€™t believe people have a right to bodily autonomy

PRIMETIME, which portrays Chris Hansen as a twisted egomaniac, is really good. Itโ€™s also the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Hansen, who has long turned child sexual abuse into a spectacle centering himselfโ€”at the expense of actual victims. spitfirenews.com/p/chris-hans...

Notes from Poland @notesfrompoland.bsky.social

The Polish government has granted same-sex couples who married abroad the same tax rights as other married couples. It follows an EU court ruling ordering Poland to recognise such marriages, even though domestic law does not allow any form of same-sex union.

Ukraine, backed by an all-star cast, is calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire as the first step toward negotiations with Russia. Lavrov has since rejected any notion of a ceasefireโ€ฆโ€ฆ.again.

Notes from Poland @notesfrompoland.bsky.social

"If Poland enters into military action against Russia...Warsaw will cease to exist within two or three days,โ€ claims a senior advisor to Putin in response to remarks by Poland's foreign minister that NATO could defeat Russia "quite quickly" if it attacked the alliance

such a hopeful thought. I'd love to return to Kharkiv, walk at night under the street lights
