George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽
@georgetakei@universeodon.com  ·  activity timestamp 6 days ago

His speechwriter secretly hates him.

Screenshot of an X.com post by jordan (@JordanUhl) reading, “The Titanic, a ship that famously turned around.” It shows a quoted FactPost (@factpostnews) post: “Vance on the economy: ‘You don’t turn the Titanic around overnight’.” Below is a video thumbnail of JD Vance speaking at a podium with people in high-visibility vests behind him and a chyron reading “VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE VISITS TOLEDO.”

I mean, it could take months to sink the economy. Turns out it's not that easy.

@georgetakei every ship can be turned around over night. Even the US Carriers can be turned around over night. But ok - not the Titanic.

@georgetakei The Titanic, marketed as unsinkable, with first class passengers (many of whom represented the elite of that time) bathing in luxury while third class had to endure hardships. Pushed beyond its limits by its owners and investors to gain market value and prestige, thereby willingly navigated into disaster by its captain, killing many more souls aboard than necessary because of inadequate safety measures.

I can not think of a better metaphor for 2026 USA.

@georgetakei I wonder if he mixed up like three or four vaguely related but different phrases, maybe what he was going for was along the lines of "Rome wasn't built in a day..."

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
