Rewatching ST:TNG L’Kor tells Worf the Klingons have chosen to remain in what was initially a Romulan POW camp, because if were known they were captured alive, that would bring dishonor on their family.

What a story! Sharing stories like this (that is, white abolitionists who stood up against whites deeply invested in the racist status quo), is probably something that makes racists annoyed.

The AP’s own rules say an 18yo is an adult, not a teen. In a light-hearted story about a high school event where some are 17 and some are 18, you could get away with calling them all “teenagers,” but in a serious story, it’s crucial to be consistent. This suspect is a white man.…
