Responsible Monetization of a BBS

I know you think long and hard about all these things, and it’s a tribute to your talent, wisdom, and dedication that this place has been here without interruption for seven years already. I myself have no concerns about the way you’ve run things here. And I figure you’ll let us know if you ever want or need any help. Hope so anyway! Thanks again for all you do.

Okay, if there was shenanigans, then there will be evidence of said shenanigans… It could be true. But we also live in a racist, misogynistic country. That’s just the truth of it. We never did the work to end the cultural roots of racism and misogyny in this country, and Trump benefited from that.

Speaking of Faith: discussions on religion (broadly defined)

I’m a polytheist and animist. My religion doesn’t proselytize… in fact I’m not even going to say what it is. I don’t believe that everyone needs a religion. Some people find various benefits either from the belief, ritual, or the social aspects, and some people aren’t wired that way. And people change over time, too. I don’t believe anyone’s religion (including mine) should be permitted to make laws, nor to impinge on anyone’s rights (including their own membership). If they don’t like you…

BoingBoing move to substack

I tihnk there is “a capitalism” that can be ethical, at least for a while, but I’m not sure there’s such a capitalism that can exist without eventually ballooning into big-C Capitalism, which is where we see all the late-stage shareholder-value-cult stuff suffusing everything like so much toxic mycelia. Whether the capitalism that our current Capitalism emerged from was ever ethical is left as an exercise to the reader.

Did Somebody Say "Star Trek"?

One thing that never ceases to amaze me about George Takei is how fully he’s lived out the last couple decades of his life at an age when most people are in their retirement years. Coming out publicly at 68, getting married at 71, taking a musical to Broadway at 78, writing a New York Times bestseller at 82… he even managed to bridge the nerd fandoms by being the first prominent actor to play roles in both Star Trek and Star Wars. This is a person who really took the Vulcan greeting to heart.

You know how they feel about “evidence” and “facts.” The more evidence there is against someone, the more innocent they are. The only facts are those that are unproven.
