He was paid in exposure, pride, and accomplishment.

Ah yes the glory of being one of the most targeted minorities.

A good half of the world either kill or jail trans people.

That's the problem with averages vs medians. It completely overlooks wealth gap.

Here is an example. Moderna CEO made something like $500 million last year. If Moderna had 1000 employees, that would mean the company's average employee pay is $500,000. And that's before even adding their pay to this average.

Folks who watched Star Trek and didn't understand this missed a good chunk of Star Trek. I'd argue most of it.

Star Trek addressed our present a few times. It's essentially portrayed as a dark age.

Rather than losing my loved ones, I think I'd be more scared of losing my love for them. Either via a cold heart or dementia.

Such a good show. Excellent acting.

And yep. People now want to get triggered so they go looking for it. British television comedy has been poking fun at religion for decades.

When you have that much money, does it matter?

Trump and Musk are great examples of being too rich to fall. Once you get to that point, you can fuck the poor as much as you want. The only way for you to fall is to fuck with other powerful people a la that pedo ring leader who was murdered by guards after getting caught.

The less we push against Russia now the more aggressive it will become in the future. Playing nice has led the world to a global crisis and Ukraine to a bloodshed filled with war crimes.

Russia's government is evil and there's no middle ground between good and evil that isn't evil.
