"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 shirt 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 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.

Can't wait for this to start killing the local wildlife. What do you guys think the over-under is on a dead bald eagle being fished out of the reflecting pool by the fourth of July?

Here's another hex color value for you. #8647. A lovely shade of shit-orange.

Democrats will tell you this is green.
Because it is green.

@mayintoronto Unwholesome Georg, who drops an average of 8,400 F-bombs per hour, is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted.

How wholesome are you on the fedi?

Amazing that Trump is using the "HARRIS" brand to clean up his mess. You couldn't write this if you tried.

The dipshit Nazi pedo in the White House is desperately dumping hydrogen peroxide in his disgusting algae-infested pool one gallon at a time BY HAND you guys. 😆😆😆😆

I did the math.

The White House reflecting pool contains 6,750,000 gallons of water.

It takes 100ppm hydrogen peroxide to effectively clean a pool full of algae.

This is store bought 12% hydrogen peroxide, exactly like the kind you get in Walmart or Home Depot. Not the readily available 30% bulk commercial stuff.

In order to effectively treat the problem would require 4,523 gallons of this 12% homeowner grade bullshit.

Harris brand hydrogen peroxide costs about $20/gallon at Home Depot.

These fucking amateurs just spent $100,000 on trying to shock treat an active algae bloom by hand, one gallon at a time.

Also, there's no fucking way they somehow sourced almost 5,000 individual gallons of consumer grade hydrogen peroxide and then hand-poured it into the reflecting pool one gallon at a time for 5 hours straight. I guarantee they underestimated how much they'd need. So this probably won't even fucking work in the end. 😆😆😆

In 1980, the top 1% held about $3 trillion dollars collectively among them.

Today, that number is about $53 trillion dollars.

The wealthy have stolen roughly $50 trillion dollars from the poor and middle class in the last 50 years, or about a trillion dollars a year.

If even 1% of that had ever "trickled down", the median American would have about a half a million dollars in their bank account.

Just a friendly reminder that 50 years of "trickle down" has turned millionaires into billionaires, and billionaires into trillionaires.

Meanwhile the minimum wage stayed stagnant and prices skyrocketed on everything from gas to groceries to homes.

The trickle never came.

Eric Trump caught red handed trying to rig a UFC fight. These people are evil dipshits.

@Lana my thyroid does not produce enough hormones. That is why I take a little thyroid hormone replacement pill each morning. It is considered perfectly safe and standard procedure.

The amount of thyroid hormone that is normal for humans has been determined. Interestingly the evidence supports meaningful age and sex differences for normal thyroid hormone ranges, but many labs still just use one scale for everyone anyway. Within that range doctors tend to let the patient decide where they feel the most comfortable, at the top, middle or bottom of the range, and adjust the dose accordingly. There is a lot of room to figure out what feels right for the body and the individual, with the patients own feelings, comfort and symptoms being the main deciding factors.

As far as I am aware there is no widespread criticism of this hormone replacement process, which many people rely on to live a happy and healthy life.

I assume I do not need to spell out the hypocrisy.
