I love helping everyone rediscover the fact that the opening passage of My Immortal is a parody of the opening passage of The Vampire Lestat and not just a generic exaggeration of the typical fanfic Mary Sue introduction. One of the many delightful goth kid Easter eggs the author planted for the audience.

At least half of the episodes are about fascism. Considering Serling's PTSD from WWII, I'd wager there are even more than that.

More importantly, Rod Serling had to fight with them THEN. He was inspired to create the show (aside from his own PTSD from the war) because of the horrific murder of Emmett Till. Obviously, they refused to air anything like that in the 1950s.

So he had to make it science fiction so that his statements were less threatening to the white establishment in charge of green-lighting the show.

The same for Gene Roddenberry and Star Trek. Experiences from the war, as well as the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, along with the Cold War and the Space Race involved in that. Gene had written a lot of westerns, but was smart enough to realise what Rod Serling realised:

if you set it in the future, the cis het white wealthy fascist-leaning execs running the studios are a lot less likely to realise that Serling and Roddenberry were absolutely saying something REAL about their contemporary society. It was the only way they were allowed to say what they needed to say. What so few other people would say. And one of the only ways to get audiences to LISTEN.

And if you will notice? Twilight Zone reboots have been all cancelled. The Paramount is going out of their way to cancel the vast majority of Star Trek shows out there.

Because the fucking fascist executives have finally figured out what they were doing, and what immense power both of these shows had on public consciousness.

To be clear Jordan Peele produced and worked on two seasons of a twilight zone reboot a few years ago and it was canceled bc people were complaining it was too woke and/or the execs were nervous about the messages the episodes were sending.

So like, yeah. It really can’t be made today. Not by fuckin CBS/Paramount anyway.

Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing — Colonies surged 15-fold
Scientists have developed a breakthrough “superfood” for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in

TLDR- Modern agriculture pollen is low in nutrients, and there aren’t enough wildflowers. Science has to develop vitamins to supplement the diets of agricultural bees. So plant some wildflowers for the wild bees near you.
