OMG 😭

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.

Walter Koenig, was, of course, Chekov. But if you want to honor his memory by watching some of his best(sorry) work, please check out his appearance as the evil Psi-Cop "Bester" in Babylon 5. He's a fantastic presence and a great foil to all of "our heroes." Fair skies, Mr. Koenig.

Let's get rid of the dam expensive and pointless nuclear weapons and put that money into conventional forces

Kevin Maguire is spot on, all this talk about people stocking up is part of a wider lobbying campaign to increase defence spending. And as Kevin points out, the UK is already the 6th biggest defence spender in the world.

Libs will get angry at me when I say Dems shouldn't be transphobic and say it's my fault if they don't get elected... Why aren't they angry at the Dem for fucking up their campaign?

Dear fellow trans people, you know as well as I. This is still true, on both sides of the Atlantic. Learn the lessons of Act Up, it's fine in time.

Tonight Brazil and Serbia have proven that in every corner of our planet the forces of hope can defeat the fascists, but only if we are willing to fight like hell. 🇧🇷💚🇷🇸

Breaking: President Lula, looking very happy, has arrived in São Paulo to prepare for his victory speech and watch the final votes counted.

Lula holds Brazil, Vučić defeated in Serbia. A bad day for the fascists. A good day for democracy. So it goes

This👇 It started with just asking ‘LeGiTiMaTe QuEsTiOnS’ about SelfID, and now we’re banned from any space that matches our gender, Hell! We’ve even had a Labour MP calling for us to be banned from mixed-sex hospital wards, because she doesn’t want cis people frightened by our mere presence.

Anyone who’s had this will tell you the same story and it is IMO important to understand the terror of transgender people as sex offenders is much the same thing as black-clad lads in the street shouting against migrants as sex offenders. They are different facets of the same reactionary project.

Of all the possible scenarios in Serbia's elections, I don't think Vucic conceding before the results were announced was on the cards. Nevertheless, here we are. Vucic has conceded; the Student List are set for victory. "I wish them success", Vucic says. Cheers on the streets.

a UK food delivery service experimented with AI-generated images for restaurant menu items that lacked pictures. they stopped when customers reported seeing some unusual new dishes. a tiger-prawn dish became a bowl containing actual tiger cubs. friends, i think the tech may not be ready.

People who think embracing GOP hatred of trans people is the only way for Democrats to win in that part of the country should remember that in 2025, John Ewing became the first Black mayor of Omaha NE by running this ad. He beat Republican incumbent Jean Stothert by 12 points.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

I can’t tell you how much it distresses me that journalism like this gets so little attention in this county. If I write about some culture war nonsense, it’s gobbled up. But work like this which questions the very nature of our democracy - and is about life and death? It’s so often met with silence

Torture, terror and extrajudicial executions: the Dirty War in Northern Ireland and my search for truth For decades I’ve investigated collusion between British military intelligence and terrorists One question has always remained: given the crimes committed how can Britain call itself a democracy?
