Star Trek: The Next Generation S1E16: When The Bough Breaks. In which the crew encounter the Aldeans, who have abdicated all their decisions to a computer “the Custodian” many hundreds of years ago. The Aldeans do not understand (and cannot maintain) the Custodian, nor any of its rationale in decision making. Yet they entrust it with all their decisions. They are on the brink of extinction, despite their technical prowess.

Decades have passed since the 1960s, yet the use of Indigenous American and First Nations names and images by sports teams continues to stir public debate. Mainstream media often simplifies the issue, framing it solely as a matter of offense to Indigenous individuals.

However, this oversimplification disregards the tangible harm caused and dismisses the impact on non-Natives. Today, we delve into the true complexities surrounding Indigenous peoples as sports mascots in #TheBigPicture: https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/strong-case-against-indigenous-mascots

Calling bigotry an "opinion" is like calling arsenic a "flavor".

Business leaders: We can't find enough workers!

Workers: You could pay more.

Business: Nope.

Workers: Better benefits?

Business: No.

Workers: More flexible hours?

Business: No way.

Workers: Treat your current employees better to build your employer brand?

Business: Never.

Workers: Well, what's left?!

Business: Child labor!

So... I feel like a total dick for saying this, but 5 out of 7 of my last mentorship sessions have no-showed or cancelled within 10 minutes of their appointments in the past week. Only one person out of those has provided any reasonable reason. I'm really sorry - if this keeps up much longer I am not going to be able to continue the service.

If you aren't respectful of my time, please, please be respectful of the time of others who help you along your career journey. I miss every single Sunday afternoon I could spend with my family for nothing but occasional tips. Some folks wait months for these appointments.

Just have to say - I'm very excited for everyone to see tomorrow's video

In order to protect the constitutional rights of individuals from being infringed upon by state laws, I believe there is a need for a national, non-partisan, and independent body that operates outside of both the judiciary and legislature. This body would be responsible for reviewing and pre-clearing all proposed bills, both at the state and federal level, to ensure they meet constitutional requirements, federal law, and our treaty obligations before they can be considered by the legislature.
