Star Trek The Original Series scene. A blond woman is pictured up close, ckose enough that is tricky to say if we're on ship or off. The camera filter is utilizing the Vaseline setting. Closed caption reads, "Oh, the sound of male ego."
Plus, the CFPB has already returned $21 billion to Americans.

Elon Musk is calling for the CFPB's remaining account balance of $711,586,678 to be returned to the American taxpayers.
That you give everyone $2-$3.
But returning Elon Musk’s money to taxpayers would give everyone about $1,300 each.
Many in tech value brutal honesty, but people often focus more on the brutality than the honesty, making them defensive. Instead, aim to be “direct yet kind.” Start with curiosity and a desire to help before offering criticism.
When others see empathy in your words, your feedback is more effective.
So tired of this idea that billionaires are our "betters" whose opinion is super important because they have a lot of money. It's bullshit. They're mostly greedy sociopaths who have no problem destroying people who get in their way. That doesn't make your opinion one to be valued, in my opinion.

Since the sourcing of this fantastic 1979 IBM training slide is buried in various Twitter threads (and linking to Twitter sucks now because logged out users can't navigate conversations) I put together some notes on its origin: simonwillison.net/2025/Feb/3/a...
Jan 6 must be fully & conclusively adjudicated in a court of law if this country is to ever move forward.
They can't just wish it away unless we let them.
TNG scene. We're in Captain Picard's ready room. No caption on this one. We see Data from behind sitting in front of Picard at his desk, face in his hands presumably expressing exhaustion or frustration or despair or anger or sadness or disbelief or
A moment of zen- Soarin’s updated ending
WIC. They are pausing WIC.
That's the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Last time I checked (a while ago), every dollar spent on WIC produced over a dollar in savings *in the same fiscal year.* For most people, though, feeding infants and mothers is enough.
I will be continuing to call it the Gulf of Mexico because I don't cater to the whims of a ridiculous felon

Until this happened to me, I've always been a "grin-and-bear-it" and "just push through" type person. It's still a daily battle with myself to take the rest or accommodation I need, because it's so ingrained for me not to.
Tweet that reads: It's hard to rest when chronically ill/ have chronic pain because you're never really "restring", it's more like "lying down so I don't get worse" vs rejuvenating rest like healthy people get. I'm not resting because I want to, I'm resting because I NEED to.
Been battling sever daily pain for almost two years now and this really resonates
Help support science education and have a great time listening to some old and mew favorite Star Trek podcasts! Today is the Star Trek Pod Crawl!
Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're in a jungle type environment with big thicc looking greenery in the background. Just seems like it would also be a moist climate too. A Starfleet officer fellow is standing and looking serious as a heart attack. Closed caption reads, "What's the armament on the Lollipop?"
This is my periodic rant that Apple Intelligence is so bad that today it got every fact wrong its AI a summary of @washingtonpost.com news alerts.
It's wildly irresponsible that Apple doesn't turn off summaries for news apps until it gets a bit better at this AI thing.
Still completely surreal to me that Google chose to light its search engine on fire
Nostalgia is unfairly maligned. Until there's a future we should be able to listen to nineties rock guilt free
OpenAI promised to create a tool to let creators specify how they want their works to be included in or excluded from its AI training data in May.
According to insiders this project isn’t a priority at the company and it’s unclear anyone is working on it.
Least surprising news of the year.
“You mean that garish gold bauble that used to belong to that horrible little man? Now, darling, don’t be angry with me but I went ahead and just took it straight to Mount Doom. It was telepathically hissing at me in the most IRRITATING way and I didn’t want that kind of energy in the house.”
Hey corporate media,
Thou shalt not spend thousands of hours on one CEO’s shooting and only one hour on a classroom of children.
it has always been a long reaction to the New Deal. from then to now, capital had seen the New Deal as the sin that must be purged so that the rest of us understand our place as grist for their mills
I see Capitalism as a phenomenally efficient engine for maximizing efficiency over a function space determined by regulation
The idea that unregulated capitalism would somehow align the arbitrary function space it’s optimizing with human good is one of the dumbest ideas our planet has ever suffered
As someone suffering from chronic pain with light sensitivity, I pretty much can’t drive (at least for long) at night anymore. These newer brighter lights (and taller and taller cars) aren’t helping
