It looks like not only are they investing in "bad" companies, they're investing right against their grants, in companies that sicken the people they're trying to heal.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, and they're hiding behind the firewall to do it -- the same people making the philanthropic decisions are not making the investing decisions, theoretically, although I don't quite get how separating out a Trust would work.

I do think the framing of that article was a little overwrought.

I'm watching Dirty Jobs. Mike Rowe is funny. And hot.
He's on my tv right now, cleaning out a hurricane barrier. Unfortunately, he's decked out in full coveralls, but when he's in the middle of changing clothes or in swim gear? Mmmmm, me likey that hairy, muscle-y chest!
Also, he has the best voiceover voice since Morgan Freeman.

ION, has anyone else seen some ad with the old Star Trek cast members? First of all, what's wrong with Shatner's face? Second of all, isn't the it TNG theme they play at the end?

I think it is. DH thinks it's the original ST movie music. They may be basically the same, I can't say I've watched either recently.

It's weird. Right now, I can't even imagine the Star Trek music. I know I'd recognise it instantly (which is why I'm not bothering to find a sample to play), but it feels weird being so blank. It's like a hole in my brain.
