    Modern Star Trek seems so depressingly far from having an episode in which workplace union organising was portrayed as an objectively good thing :sadness-abysmal:

      Can't wait for the nutrek Elon Musk episode where he comes back like Khan from the Eugenics wars but instead of Picard telling him about how great space communism is they make the Federation capitalist and liberal.

        People are again obsessed with the accumulation of things. We have propagated hunger, want, the need for possessions. We've grown out of our embarrassing tankie phase."

    White LED lights are the devil and you deserve to be whalloped over the noggin with a silly squeeky clown hammer not made out of wood if your bright fucking lights even come remotely near my eyes.

    Two bops over the head if it's nighttime, and if I'm tired then you deserve to be tied up with a funny clown rope to a funny clown bumper of a funny clown car and dragged down an unpaved funny clown street at a minimum of 50 funny clown miles per hour while hitting every funny clown rock, hole, or bump till we reach the end of the funny clown street.

      I can currently ignite black paper at a few inches. I will not have enough white LED until I can ignite an officer in black riot gear at 20 feet.

    Reading through Capital made me realize the futility of "just read theory", and appreciate the necessity of packaging marxist ideas into memes and popular media. Star Trek is an underrated influence on our thinking about what a better society could be. The power of a 44 minute episode of TV should not be underestimated.
