So the FBI now thinks you should be fired for doing your job and investigated for deciding you no longer want to do that job.
It’s already fucked up that he legally gets to call himself a co-founder for simply being on the board.
Remember, this is a company that supports slave labor and child labor by purchasing from farms that did such things. The incident in Brazil (in 2018) was not mishap. As recently as of April 2025, Starbucks have been accused again of purchasing from such farms.

If you still consume any media, purchase merchandise, or god forbid go to the themed areas of Universal Studios parks… you are fulling this bigotry. She is profiting from your consumption of a franchise and using that fame to attack women.
I am heartbroken by what they have become. My childhood (and many other people’s) had that franchise throughout a big part of it. It has become shameful to say I was ever a fan. Nothing will redeem them. Nothing will make it okay to consume anything related to this franchise.
If you openly wear/carry/own merchandise of any kind today, you are literally sporting symbols of hatred. Please stop doing that.
THEY DONT EVEN TAKE GAS! /s
I saw my mom watching The Handmaids Tale today. It made me think, are we slowly transforming into Gilead?
FYI, I know Gilead is United States. I read the book.
Why are non-European countries even allowed to participate?
He’s not even hiding it.

What is your happiest Trek related memory/ies?
(startrek.website)
Hi there. I just wanted to discuss something positive and uplifting. As we surely all know, Star Trek has a very big fandom that is super inclusive and positive (for the most part). Had a thought that for many fans, their passion is life-long. Maybe it would be nice to share a positive memory (maybe a few) you associate with Trek; whatever you are comfortable sharing. I kick it off (my list is chronological).

Getting to go on The Klingon Encounter at Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a family trip, I was seven (I recently found out I was off by year) in 1998. My grandfather was working at the time for a Chinese apparel brand. He took us to an industry convention he was attending for work. So my mom took me to the Hilton. There was walls of Borg statues, actors dressed as Klingons walking the casino. Only got to go on The Klingon Encounter, a Star Tours style ride. The premise is an entertainment experience with live actors which you are mysteriously transported to the future where you switch places with Picard. Klingons are behind it. They believe your group has an ancestor among you. You head to a transporter to escape to a shuttlecraft, and flee the Klingons. The chase eventually leads you over The Las Vegas Strip. The ride also included pre-recorded video from TNG cast as part of the story.

Watching ENT when it first broadcast. I was ten years old. As an aside, I’ve always lived with my maternal grandparents. Anyways, my grandfather was excited for it. He let me stay up late on Wednesdays to watch with him. It was the first series (pretty much the only from start to end) I watched first broadcast. Watched every episode with him.

Finally going to my first convention, STLV (formerly Star Trek Las Vegas) this year. Such an incredible four days that I can never forget. Getting to see the community up close changes how important this means. Everyone was such wonderful people. The one public event I’ve attended in my life where I felt truly accepted and safe.
Would you rather have to replace a liver or consume something that won’t force you to get a new liver?
Spread syphilis?
I have never actually read The Onion, I just like seeing their headlines.
