I’m starting to have a change of heart on this #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds episode. Maybe, just MAYBE, the episode was a blood curdling drama where we’re shown a “jump the shark” level singing episode and have to wait to see if the show has truly jumped. Honestly, I’m on the edge of my seat here. I thought the gorn episode was the scariest one. Not any more.
“You know what would be a fantastic #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds plot device? If the officers sang their lines and if the only way to prevent a galactic tragedy was for the entire crew to sing and dance in a broadway style finale.”
…said no one. Ever.
A #Trump mug shot? YES PLEASE.
The #Trump #SaveAmerica Super PAC has been misappropriating donor money at a historic level. For example, Melania Trump's hair stylist was paid $108,000 in a 6 month period according to the PAC's financial filing.

Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker’s 2023 commencement speech at Northwestern hits the mark.
The best way to spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel. When we see someone who doesn’t look like us, or sound like us, or act like us, or love like us, or live like us — the first thought that crosses almost everyone’s brain is rooted in either fear or judgment or both. That’s evolution. We survived as a species by being suspicious of things we aren’t familiar with.
In order to be kind, we have to shut down that animal instinct and force our brain to travel a different pathway. Empathy and compassion are evolved states of being. They require the mental capacity to step past our most primal urges. I’m here to tell you that when someone’s path through this world is marked with acts of cruelty, they have failed the first test of an advanced society. They never forced their animal brain to evolve past its first instinct. They never forged new mental pathways to overcome their own instinctual fears. And so, their thinking and problem-solving will lack the imagination and creativity that the kindest people have in spades.
Over my many years in politics and business, I have found one thing to be universally true: the kindest person in the room is often the smartest.

#ElonMusk is rebranding #Twitter to “X” as the first step towards making it the “everything” app including messaging, social media, and payment services.
Maybe he should figure out how to do the Twitter thing first.
Whether #ElonMusk's #Twitter rebrands as “X” is irrelevant to me. It is already my ex-social media platform. And my ex is a real asshole. That's why we broke up.

Reminded today that #Microsoft #Teams is still a hot mess. Client added me to a team. Microsoft says my password is incorrect. Changed password to same one. Sign in. No access to the team I was invited to.
Hey #Cuba, by supporting #Russia’s unprovoked invasion of #Ukraine are you saying that it would be OK if the U.S. invaded to “denazify” Cuba?
#Microsoft Visual Studio for Mac only has .NET 8 and Maui preview support in the release version of VS, not the preview version, which also has a lower version number.
I don't think they know what “Preview” means.
