You can always depend on the Murdochs to have the worst takes.

A tweet from Kareem criticizes the New York Post’s choice of image, noting that if they want to argue that “hating cars is bad,” they probably shouldn’t use a photo showing an ambulance stuck in traffic. Embedded is a New York Post tweet claiming Zohran Mamdani hired a “car-hating activist” to lead transportation policy. The attached collage includes photos of Ben Furnas and Zohran Mamdani, and a large street scene showing dense city traffic with an ambulance unable to move amid taxis and cars.

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

Screenshot of a CNBC headline that reads: “How device hoarding by Americans is costing economy.” The subtext says Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever, which may be smart for consumers but can reduce productivity.

Powerful.

Spray-painted yellow stencil on a sidewalk reads “NEIGHBOR KIDNAPPED HERE” and, underneath, “ABOLISH ICE.” A few dry leaves are scattered around the pavement. The tweet above says, “Seattle is using stencils when neighbors go missing.”

On this day in 1966, Star Trek first beamed into living rooms across America. None of us could have imagined then the journey it would set us on. And not just the cast and crew, but the millions of fans who would find hope, inspiration, and community in its vision of the future.

Over the decades, I’ve been humbled and grateful for the love you’ve shown, not only to me, but to the ideals of Star Trek itself: diversity, unity, and the belief that together, humanity can boldly go where none have gone before. Thank you for your unwavering support and for keeping this dream alive all these years. Live long and prosper, always.
