Star Trek is nearly 50 years old now and it’s been around for so long because I think it offers hope for us as a species. The thing people have always been attracted to (with Star Trek) is the idea that we might live beyond this age of conflict and uncertainty. And it’s not only that, but it’s also the ability to work together and live in a world where everyone is accepted no matter who you are.
The original series with Gene Roddenberry was incredibly progressive. It started barely 20 years after the end of World War II, with a Japanese officer aboard the Enterprise, a black woman in charge of an entire division, and a Russian on board—albeit in subordinate roles, but it was an incredibly progressive move. It offered this utopian idea of cooperation and that’s always going to be something to strive toward until we actually achieve it. In that respect, Star Trek will never go out of fashion.

To the male Portland driver who almost hit me as I was turning onto Broadway this morning and had the nerve to careen through the intersection, stop, and yell, “One less bicyclist, bitch! Yaay!”:
YOU ARE A ROYAL DIPSHIT.
Look the fuck around you, man. There are numerous cyclists going up this…
I really want to find this shitstain, slash his tires and confiscate his testicles. What the fuck.

You will never do anything this cool.
