A science fiction obsession led me to psychological war. I spent the past three years researching and writing a book about the history of psychological warfare in the United States, and it's coming out in early June. Not all the gems I discovered could be crammed into the final manuscript, and I've been dying to share what I found in the archives ... check out my latest newsletter to see some amazing treasures from a history that's rarely told.

@annaleen I'm sorry, I misremembered. I meant to say Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine (I read them at the same time a while back now). The Shock Doctrine is the one more relevant to your research. But be warned, it is not an easy read. Lots of triggers.

Probably not, but I wonder if there is someway to plug https://www.astrodon.net into a feed reader?

It's really a shame just how many anti-capitalists are out there spending their time and their voice trying to predict just how soon will fail. It's already failed! I am more anti-capitalist than most, but I do not see capitalism going anywhere anytime soon. There is nothing wrong with being a realist.

@Richard@geekdom.social avatar

I come across so many articles online where the pipe dreams of anti-capitalists are really no different than all the tone deaf articles that will save the world. There is so much bad writing online. It is my belief that is why need to worry less about publications and see blogging as a public service.

My host informed me that it is possible to integrate #Cloudflare into my websites to take the pressure off my hosting account CPU (if I understand this correctly), which is already high because I upgraded my services to prevent problems with my websites not loading. It only happens every once in a while, but still.

I thought Cloudflare would be used before hosting, not after. So I am very confused. Going to take a while to wrap my head around this.

Alexander may not be a warrior, but I think he does prove that he is brave. In J. G. Hertzler's DS9 books, Left Hand of Destiny, Books 1 and 2, Alexander has developed a great deal. And in a short amount of time.

Seeing Dukat try to give Kira a dress makes me think of the documentary, What We Left Behind, where Marc Alaimo says that Dukat desired Kira and he desired Nana Visitor. Marc Alaimo said it in a really sleazy way, too. It was very much in the spirit of Dukat. @allstartrek

I love this scene. It was brilliant writing. Rozhenko being confused by a simulation and then fooling the entire bridge that they were under attack. Brilliant. And hilarious. @allstartrek

"Eye of the Needle" stands out in #StarTrekVoyager because they show Kate Mulgrew in a nighty with her hair down and that is with Kate Mulgrew's insistence that a strong women leader need not be sexualized, hence Kate's conflict with Jeri Ryan. This is the only time in the 7 seasons of Voyager that they got away with attempting to make Kate sexually appealing. Kate Mulgrew did a great job preventing them from doing that. A true feminist. #AllStarTrek @allstartrek

Hmm, did I skip ahead early?

I should pause. I'm streaming, obviously. Do you have commercials on H&I?

This is still early enough in the series that Garrett Wang had not yet found a way to express Harry Kim's character, or, at least he still seems uncomfortable acting. Still very much a novice. But that didn't last long. Garrett Wang perfected the character quickly. #AllStarTrek @allstartrek

I never understood why Kes is such an disliked character. Kes is brilliant. Unique. Jennifer Lien was great. @allstartrek
