This is incredible. STAR TREK: PRODIGY has cracked Netflix Top 10 lists in six different countries and counting. Keep the momentum, #startrek fans -- you are helping our show take flight!

So, funny story: remember how that Stanford professor described last years' layoffs as a "social contagion" exercise, where CEOs were just doing it because everyone else was doing it?

Well everyone get your surprised face ready but it was in fact a coordinated effort by execs, large shareholders and hedge funds to cover up mismanagement and suppress wages:

Did I say funny, I meant awful, typo sorry those keys are right next to each other.

What explains recent tech layoffs, and why should we be worried? | Stanford News

As layoffs in the tech sector mount, Stanford Graduate School of Business Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer is worried. Research – by him, and others – has shown that the stress layoffs create takes a devastating toll on behavioral and physical health and increases mortality and morbidity substantially. Layoffs literally kill people, he said.

I can understand why some men got so angry at the Barbie movie, she undermines their whole worldview when she tells Ken “you are not the car that you drive, you are not the contents of your wallet” nope, that was Tyler Durden in Fight Club. No she says “you are not your girlfriend, you are not your house”. Both movies have the same message about toxic masculinity

I am tired but excited. We are starting to record the second season/run of Vigilantes Union Local 13. I am looking forward to the team-up episodes.

It's just a blast when everything is going right.

Look for the last two issues of run 1. Out tomorrow and next week.

This is a warning about Meta and Threads.

Please boost this here and outside of Mastodon so that pregnant people in the United States are informed that using Meta/Threads is dangerous.

I'm unlikely to get pregnant but I have ZERO presence on Meta/Facebook/Instagram/Threads as a matter of principle.

Just have to quickly finish a newsletter on the way being dismissed as "activists" robs trans people of dignity and then I see the New York Times has a column by Pamela Paul titled... *checks notes* "In Defense of J. K. Rowling" so.... OK... my morning is....

OH MY FUCKING GOD IT NEVER ENDS

If we don't stop the state sanctioned social violence it becomes state sanctioned physical violence. History teaches us that this is the pattern. We can trace it back millennia.

We are supposed to be better than those who came before us. That's what we are taught. Yet we only repeat the same patterns. Over and over and over.

I feel a little sad that we can have the conversation and multiple videos on the topic yet no one really learns to end the violence.
