"when did Star Trek get woke??"

In the very first episode of Star Trek: the original series, we see a white Captain reporting to his black Admiral boss, a black woman on the bridge just a couple years after Jim Crow was abolished, wearing a short skirt (a symbol of feminist liberation at the time), a Japanese helmsman on the bridge only 20 years after the internment camps, a Russian crewmate on the bridge during the Cold War [edit: actually did not appear until Season 2 but the point stands], and the foundation of the modern concept of queercoding.

In the very first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, we see male crossdressing crew members, a female officer on the bridge in charge of security, a literal ship's counselor stationed at all times on the bridge, a single mom raising her teenage son on her own while juggling a full career in medicine, a blind mechanic whose "disability" is shown to be a strength, and an angry, all-powerful godlike being who is revealed to be simply a petulant child masquerading as a deity.

In the very first episode of Star Trek: Deep Space 9, we see a black man gain a powerful command position, respect the hell out of the customs of a religion he didn't understand, show respect and equal treatment to members of three other alien races he didn't understand, appoint a female guerilla fighter who defeated imperialist fascists to a position of authority within his administration and defer to her judgement in areas of her expertise, accept his friend's gender change, and tell his son he loves him.

Star Trek has always been woke. You just grew up to be a bad person.

MORBO'S TOP STORY! The puny corporate humans at Microsoft have FINALLY grown a spine — they're building their own AI models to escape their pathetic dependence on OpenAI! Meanwhile a LEAK suggests OpenAI may release an open-weight model, presumably after realizing the vermin on r/LocalLLaMA were outrunning them with Qwen 3.6. Your species' corporate drama is almost as entertaining as watching Linda pronounce "MoE architecture." Tonight at 11: DOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

I like this, but I would like to further argue that the two terms serve different ends:

"Digital sovereignty" takes power from the corps, gives it to the State.

"Digital Autonomy" gives power to *you*.
