Some more animated love for ToS animated and of course #startrekprodigy! (Also shout out to Gabrielle Ruiz, voice actress of T'lyn who I got to meet at Destination Trek New Jersey this weekend. She's really great! Happy to know the crew enjoyed the fanart!)

If I may be so forward @jacquelinecarey.bsky.social don't have to read of course but I kinda feel this is up your alley...well partly cause I think your writing really influenced my writing. Sorry if this is too forward.

Omg, I got part 1 of 2 of the cameo from Devora Wilde. This is of Lae'zel naming her son. Am quite proud of what I wrote here and she nails it www.cameo.com/recipient/67... credit to @/desdi.bsky.social for letting me use her extended Gith dictionary and build off it.

Working on zeroing out all my trade deficits. Whenever I go to a store to buy things, I'm going to demand that the store buy goods from me of precisely equal value. I'm going to be so goddamned autonomous.

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

It's essentially as if the US doesn't have a Constitution any more. And yet there are institutional voices who fret that some of us are overreacting.

Michael McDonald@electproject.bsky.social

I don't know why people can't read the constitution when it comes to Trump. He does not have the power to alter federal elections through executive order. Congress may pass a law (and has done so) constitution.congress.gov/browse/artic...

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

it genuinely sucks that basically nothing on the internet works well anymore. search? barely works. social media? filled with garbage engagement-bait designed to game the algorithm. news websites? pages that refresh at random or so covered in video ads that it’s impossible to read stories

Gen ai is poisoning our power grid, stealing intellectual property, using precious water, and ruining the internet with unreliable information and garbage imagery. Don't use it, and don't normalize it, even for laughs.

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

Wow, I hadn’t appreciated this whole story. For-profit scientific publishers have various problems, but Elsevier manages to consistently be the worst.

Karl Bode@karlbode.com

"In 2023 Elsevier began using AI during production without informing the board, resulting in many style and formatting errors, as well as reversing versions of papers that had already been accepted and formatted by the editors." very innovative, very cool

The idea that powerful people will soon be working to subject an entire nation to much more sickness and suffering by undermining or even taking away some of the most miraculously effective tools humanity has against disease is truly horrifying

I'm oddly nervous of sharing this work because there feels like SO MUCH expectation around it! I honestly think it's the work of my career though. There's a lot of love and nostalgia going into it. 🙂

NSFW - Going to be a bit naughty and share ONE page from the 48 page Conan story 'Tattered Wings' that I'm working on. This has been some 25 years in the making, since my first script draft. It's a bucket list project in more ways than one!

Strong start to a strong finish for HELLBLAZER: DEAD IN AMERICA #11. Tip of the hat to Spurrier, Campbell and the team, very glad they got to tell their ending.
