Please no. No more gimmicks. No singing. No dancing. No puppets. No crossovers with other franchises. Just please make some good, classic Star Trek.

Profit over people. The Republican mantra.

Corrected. (But libraries are liberators!)

People often confuse socialism with communism. The confusion is deliberate by a lot of right wing propaganda. When talking about socialism with Americans, you have to explain to them that the fire department is an example of socialism. As are other public services, like roads, police, libraries, and some utilities.

Of course in America, some people think profit is more important, so they are doing everything they can to privatize services. For example, in Texas they are slowly killing public education, and toll roads have taken over normal highway construction.

As I mentioned, people are being conned and scared of the word so that they will elect people will be replacing what remains of public services with private ones.

“6G” will take care of that. The carriers will force you to upgrade and then charge you higher rates because for some reason they have to replace all their infrastructure every few years.

Proper headline: Economy sucks, inflation is higher than ever, so people have to hold onto their devices longer.

Misleading headline making it sounds like all battery recycling poisons people. Half assed battery recycling is half assed.

Also sodium ion or some other lead-free formulation will likely replace lead acid 12v batteries over the next few years.

Today I learned the metric equivalent of horsepower is, horsepower. You’d think someone would have come up with a better name.

I know that some people eat celery with hummus. Or put pimento cheese or peanut butter on it. Are there any other foods that you think go well with celery? I’ve got some celery in my fridge that I’m trying to eat up.

 

Just finished reading an article about how raw alfalfa sprouts easily spread e-coli, but the problem could be solved by irradiation. So why don’t we?

After all, the US is the land of GMO, pesticides, washed eggs, chlorinated chicken, and pasteurized dairy. How could irradiated produce be any worse?

 

Why is Cornyn running these ridiculous border security ads on YouTube? Midterm elections aren’t until November 2026.

 

Interesting article about all the crappy energy legislation being pushed and passed in Texas.

 

Between AI, voice cloning, and modern CGI I’m surprised we haven’t gotten a real computer-generated talk show host.

 

I keep hearing I should get a flu shot to help prevent bird flu — but I thought flu shots only prevented illness from the particular strains the shot was designed for. Does getting a traditional flu shot do anything to prevent bird flu transmission?
