When did Trump or Biden attack the country of Iraq? Iraq is a US strategic partner and the US basically pays for their entire military. Even claiming Obama attacked the nation of Iraq is a big overreach, imo.

I agree but that has nothing to do with the "Nu" pejorative assigned to Kelvinverse films.

The reactionary racists and trolls started reapplying the term to the Black Lady show and pretended that crying a lot is somehow the same thing as Captain Kirk riding a motorcycle through a flaming ring.

Great points all around. "Hope and Kindness" may seem like obvious cliche lessons, but one could argue that in today's political climate they are as important as TOS calling out societal racism.

"Datalore" is another one that's important, but it's not very good. Most of the episode is Wesley running around trying to convince the grown-ups that Data is being weird and being ignored. It's the one where Picard tells him to "shut up".

It says right in the meme "a lot of my masking is just making myself more palatable for other people"

Looking forward to the comments saying this true but good, actually.

 

Here's a TechCrunch article on the topic too.

First of all I love this idea, especially for nonprofits, universities and governments.

My biggest question is how moderation will work. The "point" of federation is that each instance can moderate their own way, but presumably the paid moderation will be in the style of mastodon.social, which isn't bad, but not exactly in the spirit of the Fediverse.
