#StarTrek just keeps saying the quiet part out loud in its final season. This week, Trek takes on the class inequality in the US and beyond. Will our own "Cloud Minders" ever give the rest of us equity? Why didn't Bernie Sanders land a cameo?

When Star Trek becomes a cult religion and gets banned from Earth, Fry and the gang promise Leonard Nimoy they'll collect the old VHS Tapes from a forbidden planet and restore hope for the future. What alien STD's did Shatner and Leela exchange? Why didn't Allie write any bars for Welshie? All Power to the Engines! beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
Lots of us lead meaningful lives without religion. @humanists_uk is about to publish this book: "What I Believe", a series of conversations with a range of people (including me) about how we think about the world and the richness of the many non-religious perspectives. Do check it out.
When the Enterprise tracks down a rogue band of Space Hippies, Star Trek gets baked out of its mind and takes a big swing at the counterculture movements of the 1960’s. Why haven’t we eaten the rich yet? Is the grass greener on the other religion? Do you reach, Herbert?

“I am a humanist, which means, in part, that I have tried to behave decently without expectations of rewards or punishments after I am dead.” ~ Kurt Vonnegut
"As of today, legislatures in thirteen states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Utah have introduced bills to allow religious chaplains to serve as school counselors or volunteers in schools[.]
Texas already has a law in place to allow chaplains in schools since it passed SB 763 in Summer 2023."
🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🚨
When #StarTrek stops hiding the #humanism behind the sci-fi filter, American™ #racism and hatred is put on blast. They didn’t even bother hiding the mirror on this one.
#AI#Humanism#CognitiveScience: "Abstract: The production and promotion of so-called ‘AI’ technology involves dehumanization on many fronts. I explore these processes of dehumanization and the role that cognitive science can play by bringing a richer picture of human cognition to the discourse.
When Kirk and the Gang find the missing scientists dead, they also discover some cousins of the bootyheads from the pilot. With a sun going nova imminent, can good ol’ human emotion save a planet full of mute aliens that we only ever see one of? Did they even try saving any of the other aliens on the other planets in this system? Why don’t people just ask for help?

#Humanism is a democratic and ethical life stance, which affirms that human beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their own lives. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanism
"No individual religion can or should dictate whether a space mission should be approved ... we do not and never have let religious beliefs dictate humanity's space efforts," Chafer said.
We're not telling them what to believe but they don't get to restrict us on the basis of their religion, especially when it comes to doing things outside their property rights.
If the company was burying people on Navajo land, then the Navajo would have some basis for complaint, but nobody owns the moon and some human ashes on it will change nothing.
In this last newsletter for 2023, I reflect on intense moments from this past year—personal and global like—that deeply affected my relationship with writing, and often left me at a loss for how to go forward.
This was a very hard year for so many of us.
The next might be, too.
If writing can keep us present in the struggle together, it’s doing precisely what it needs to do.
McCoy catches a terminal case of xenopolychlamydia, the crew stumbles upon a Truman Show asteroid ship, and Allie’s back on the dating apps. Could Allie find love at first sight like McCoy? Will she avoid the dick pics and the xenopolychlamydia?

When a hate vampire sets the Federations and Klingons against each other, can Uhura’s sweet sweet singing bring them all together? Can we identify the hate vampires active in our own lives today before it’s too late? They are EVERYWHERE! Do we even have the power to stop them?
