“Was it Kierkegaard or Dick Van Patten that said ‘if you label me you negate me?’” Likes do not equal an endorsement, but they do equal something.

@Wilhem_Ivorsson Did starfleet appoint Uhura because she was black and they had racial quotas or the most competent to fill the role? Do you think they hired minorities who scored lower on testing requirements, or abandoned tests all together due to disparate impact?

Captain Kirk has spoken. Star Trek was woke, and my work is totally vindicated.

During the first airing of my Star Trek series where a kiss was objectionable; many southern stations pulled the episode & condemned the show. Using today’s vernacular it would absolutely be called“woke DEI crap”because it went against “norms” of society for its time. Not a lot seems to have changed.🤷🏼😑

@RobertPicardo McCarthy was a national hero. The CPUSA and its members were beholden to the Kremlin and the USSR.
English
Wise, Captain! History will provide perspective. There was a time when Senator Joe McCarthy was thought of as a national hero.

The irony of Bill’s comment is that starfleet is decidedly anti woke. Star Trek depicted the world as colorblind and purely merit based. Uhura wasn’t assigned because starfleet had racial quotas, she was the most competent person for the position. Woke demands the opposite.

@amycoplan @WilliamShatner @brontyman Woke is the belief in systemic racism.
There wasn’t a single episode of TOS where Uhura’s race, or discrimination she faced due to it, was a central plot point.
Just ask yourself: did starfleet hire her because she was black or supremely competent?
English
Star Trek was doing “woke DEI crap” back when we used different terms to describe it, like:
Enlightened
Just
Rational
Good
Moral
Science fiction has always been a genre in which artists could challenge oppressive norms & offered more enlightened alternatives.
Pretty damn cool, Captain Kirk ✊💕⚖️🌈🗽🌎🌍🌏👽🛸🚀👾

@AppyOrtho @WilliamShatner Apparently you've proven his point by tenfold.

@WilliamShatner The OTS was never woke, Bill. An interracial kiss isn’t woke. Discussing race isn’t woke.

@MadelaineLucyH If a 19 year old wants a 38 year old, she’s actually attracted to his wallet, not him.

There is no possible situation where 19 year old Emily turns up with 38 year old Jerry and her uni friends don’t think it’s really creepy and weird. Sorry lads

@ReviewsPossum He chose the one who he thought was the bigger challenge, ie, conquest.

It's also worth noting that Gaston could have had any woman he wanted, including those three blonde bimbos, but he chose the one who liked to read.

@JonahDispatch If only someone would have warned university city in St. Louis about the folly of resurrecting a long dead and (literally) buried means of travel. I say literally because when they built the trolley line along the Delmar Loop they had to dig up the tracks of the old one.

Streetcar: "I am so cool and hip. I've got that retro vibe. Environmentalists love me. Young people love me. Old people get a kick out of me. I look great in videos and brochures. Politicians are racing to jump onboard the Streetcar Train!"
Bus: "That's great. I cost a thousandth of what you cost and I can show up for work tomorrow morning."
Streetcar: "Not my problem. Good things comes to those who wait. Besides you've got to pay for quality, baby."
Bus: "I can turn."

the dc streetcar's final week of service is upon us. it was born in a 2002 feasibility study, promised as a 33-mile network, delivered as 2.2 miles on H street with no fare collection, and is being replaced by a bus that does the same thing but can turn. $200 million well spent.

@MHiteshew42361 @zatzi This would make sense if half the churches or more weren’t vectors for promoting left wing ideology.
English
@zatzi Chrisitianity has always been the Left's main focus for destruction because it represents the primary alternate source of authority and morality for Western Civilization, which it is their goal to destroy.
English
British Museum has time for Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, but manages to omit Christianity.

@PcodesDev @zoomafrika1 Your whole post is cope meant to sooth your inferiority complex.
16th century Europe didn’t give two shits about a backwater continent.
English
@zoomafrika1 The Mercator map didn't just distort sizes it shrank Africa to soothe a colonial inferiority complex. When your tiny peninsula looks bigger than the cradle of humanity, you start believing you're the center of the world. Classic white fragility in 16th-century ink.

@ChrisExcel102 Blaming and sacrificing poor English people for the actions of the crown is not only a retarded level of collectivist bullshit but sadistically evil as well.

@MadelaineLucyH Your average American thinks 20% of the population is black when it’s 12 entirely due to overexposure in media and advertisements. It’s not about making money, it’s about artificially increasing minority political clout which is indeed an agenda.
English
Ok I can explain this to you, because unlike this bunch of losers I’ve worked in marketing.
What we market to you is this:
An identity you want > A product > A sale
Doesn’t matter if it’s a teapot or a banking app. That’s what you do with an ad. Does it make you feel smart? Prestigious? In on the joke? Cool? Safe?
That’s how advertisers think. If I say “This hat is cool, and good!” that’s a 2/10 ad. If I say “This hat is the hat you wear on holiday this year when the warm Italian sun floods the vineyards” that’s already put the hat on your head and a luxury holiday.
Now, most people do not like racism. I know that’ll shock you because of Elon’s whack algorithm, but most people identify as “not a racist”. Easiest way to say to someone, look how open minded we are, and you are just like us? Diversity in an ad.
It’s just sales.
You’re just dumb so you see an “agenda”.

@DrFluxCapacitor @ChrisMartzWX Arguing for “normal” weather is arguing against the fact that the climate routinely changed and shifts and is rarely if ever static.
English
@ChrisMartzWX Where I live we just broke the record for earliest day to hit 90F. The previous record was MAY. And it's supposed to hit 92 next week! So no, it's not normal.
English
On this date in 1907, it was 101° in Nebraska and 100° in Kansas. The weather has always been crazy.

@MalloyAlgos @MurrayHillGuy1 What do you do differently that makes you think you’re so damn special?
English
@MurrayHillGuy1 They don't actually look forward to that part
They look forward to daydreaming about what they could have instead
They fantasize about what life would be like if they hadn't wasted so much time being comfortable
English
How do people in the suburbs genuinely look forward to Friday night on the couch, Saturday morning at Costco, and call that a weekend?
Like you really moved out of the city just to LARP as your parents at 34?

@BarackObama If he had an unwavering commitment to the rule of law he would have arrested you and half your cabinet. But he didn’t.

Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.

@AVPMikeFerguson @charliekirk11 @realDonaldTrump Did Charlie Kirk use the power of the federal govt to attack innocent people over unfounded and fake allegations?
Because if we’re looking at intellectual consistency Trump had far more reason to hate mueller than your average leftist did Kirk.
English
If you were disgusted by leftists celebrating the death of @charliekirk11 you should see this @realDonaldTrump social media post the same way.
Be intellectually consistent or be just another part of a tribal echo chamber. Being classy isn’t limited to one team.
