The true meaning of Easter, by Stephen Collins (who writes his own amazing #AltText)

"PAGAN GODDESS: Aisle four is full of products, with no hint of the true meaning of the festival!

BECKY: You mean … Jesus …?

PAGAN GODDESS: I mean shagging, Vicky."

Can anyone recommend a radio/podcast where people constantly yap about interesting things but it's not too focused on U.S.?

The fact that we are *not* seeing wildly improving software all around us tells us everything we need to know.

There is no flourishing of value delivery, new product categories, more needs being satisfied better. It’s the opposite.

All we are seeing is decreases in quality, because πŸ‘ code πŸ‘ creation πŸ‘ is not πŸ‘ the problem.

This car costs $8500. Not a typo. Less than 10 racks. And you don't have to put gas in it.

But we can't have it in the US, because we'd rather have racism and argue about solved problems like birthright citizenship, and should Black people be allowed to vote.

So you get Cybertrucks instead. Enjoy!

RWTB: BUT BUT VOYAGER WASN'T WOKE!!

Average Voyager Episode: The Doctor travels to a capitalist society where he teaches the people about the need for universal health care as the Captain is holding a hearing on whether Q has a right to bodily autonomy.

RWTB: Yes but look at all the fighting and war in Deep Space Nine! That's not woke!

Average DS9 episode: The Black captain is having visions from the prophets about fighting racism and his canonically trans best friend is talking with the first officer and chief engineer about their polycule.

RWTB: Oh but surely Picard's Enterprise wasn't like this.

Average TNG Episode: Will Riker is falling for a trans person from an agender society. Meanwhile, the genius Black disabled chief engineer and his autism-coded android best friend just saved another planet through science education.

Right wing tech bros: we love Star Trek but it's too woke nowadays. Too preachy. Kirk's show wasn't like this.

Average TOS episode: AI is bad and should never be allowed to run a society. Also, make peace because nationalism kills and every life form must be respected equally.

One day it was the last time you printed Map Quest directions and you didn't even know it.
