    So before Star Trek was the Andy Griffith Show.

    The great thing about their progressive presentation is that they made the lead character the bad guy, though he learned from his mistakes.

    In one episode, his girlfriend ran for a position on the city council. Most of the town and even Andy thinks it's silly for a woman to run for the position. But it was porteayed as unfair for people in the town and most of the show's main characters to treat her that way.

    In a separate episode Andy is set up on a date and they go skeet shooting. Andy presumes the woman doesn't know her way around again and is patronizing the whole time. Turns out that his date is a champion skeet shooter and humiliates Andy.

    Very progressive at the time but I never heard any uproar over it.

    @Sweet Lou 4 2 made a thread about Picard season 2
    And everyone here is discussing the old school star treks because we all know nobody watches Picard season 2 or any of the new shows cause they suck

    Stacey Abrams $100M Ga. campaign splurged on ‘swag truck,’ TikTok house

    https://nypost.com/2022/12/21/stace...nt-funds-on-a-swag-truck-tiktok-house-report/

    excerpt:

    Democrat Stacey Abrams frittered away funds on renting a house for TikTok creators and a “swag truck” to distribute campaign merchandise during her second unsuccessful run for governor in Georgia, according to a report.

    The lavish spending by the campaign, which raised more than $100 million, backfired — and by the end of Abrams’ failed attempt to defeat Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, staffers’ benefits were slashed and crucial TV airtime was cut, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

    The revelations come in the wake of Abrams’ campaign manager, Lauren Groh-Wargo, telling Axios that the campaign owes vendors more than $1 million.

    Now questions are being raised about how funds were spent by Abrams in her convincing loss to Kemp, a widely watched rematch of the 2018 gubernatorial contest.

    “It’s incredibly bad planning, and it shows where their values are at,” a senior Democratic official told the AJC. “You can’t look up one day and realize you can’t pay the bills.”

    You can get a real nice helicopter with a matching superyacht for that money.
