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.

Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

Well, now’s as good a time as ever for a reintroduction! Welcome to Odyssey’s End: The Rise and Fall of the Odyssey Class. This project aims to document the history of the Odyssey Class, from its Dominion War origins to the fateful events of Frontier Day 2401.

Worth remembering: Trump has been US president for just over 2% of American history, but added nearly 30% of the national debt. That’s who Elon "DOGE" Musk is funding and supporting. They never cared about the public debt

If today Musk would start a platform for (dis)information sharing & political debate, no one in their right mind would join. And yet, that is what our politicians, parties, governments companies and media do every day 🤡🤦🏻‍♂️ cc @leavex.eu @takedowntwitterx.bsky.social @everyonehateselon.bsky.social

The only thing that keeps Musk’s platform alive is us — the politicians and institutions it wants to destroy.

A 'SpaceX' investor said he’s not only “disgusted…from a humanity perspective” (by restrictions on Starlink in Ukraine), but also because: “.….they've given everybody a reason not to use Starlink, that Starlink isn't reliable for national security for anybody but Trump.”

If he can pull the plug on Ukraine, he can pull the plug on America. He's too big to trust.

This is accountability journalism: follow the planes, follow the money, and find the people the government has sent away. Gillian Brockell is making a machinery of removal visible and sharing the methods so other reporters can investigate it.

I have some insane news getting copy-edited right now, but before that publishes I want to make sure y'all see this interview I did with @gijn.org, where I give a lot of tips on flight-tracking, developing a specialized beat, etc. gijn.org/stories/gill...

I don’t just want us to be opposing data centers, but also starting a larger debate about how we build technology and who that technology serves. The tech industry is forcing their vision of the future on the rest of us, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Paris Marx@parismarx.com

“How much computation do we really need here? How many resources are we willing to dedicate to this vision of the future? And is this technology really delivering in such a way that expending all those resources is justified?” I spoke to CNET’s @katelynched.bsky.social about my new book HYPERSCALE!

Any ressemblance with the USA and the UK insisting Ukraine disarm in exchange of "security guarantees" that became non-existent the instant Russia invaded Crimea would not be a coincidence. When your imperialist, hostile neighbor is twice or thrice your size, don't place your fate into US hands.

That would be like thinking that Putin is an accident, while Russia has always tried to invade its neighbors, colonize them and erase their cultures for the last 5 centuries, from Ivan the fourth to Catherine, and from Nicholas I to Stalin, it's always about invading, crushing and erasing people.

In a Ukrainian interview, Zelenskyy says European countries are developing alternatives to Starlink after realising the US can restrict the system regardless of existing agreements or contracts.
