started watching Starfleet Academy in Kenya and really enjoying it so far. It's the first Star Trek series I've really watched since Voyager

I'm like 5-6 episodes in, so no spoilers, please!

I call what Mikki is referring to β€œSuburban Utopia Mythology.” It was one, maybe two generations, where a portion of the middle class was able to create domestic dynamics similar to upper classes. It was also a lie based on race. I get into it more here, free.

By now there’s enough independent, third-party data analysis of AI’s impact (or apparent lack thereof) on the current job market that there’s no reason not to include some skepticism about the executive claim when you write it up.

I used to hate International Women's Day until I spent the day in Tijuana where it was a riot against the patriarchy. Where race and imperialism was at its core.

Happy International Women's Day to the women who fight.

What I can say definitively, even without having seen him in person, is that Gavin Newsom does not have it. He’s about as authentic as a Louis Vuitton from Canal Street
