Abacus Wizard @abacuswizard.bsky.social · 19hCertainly there will be a whole generation’s worth of repairs to do. But we can spend a few days celebrating before we roll up our sleeves and get to work. 110
Abacus Wizard @abacuswizard.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I’m wondering if the cyclops at the royal forge might have made some enhancements to the shield-shirt as well. 020
Abacus Wizard @abacuswizard.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Guinan’s talk with Picard really stuck with me. 020
Abacus Wizard @abacuswizard.bsky.social · 02/10/2026BTW, we’re combining state flags with state fossils now; here’s the new one 030
Abacus Wizard @abacuswizard.bsky.social · 02/10/2026So this is funny because Lwaxana is played by Majel Barrett, and she’s talking to the ship’s computer, whose voice is also provided by Majel Barrett. She’s literally talking to herself. 230
Abacus Wizard @abacuswizard.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I just discovered that the hippie sticks are older than I thought: they show up in the 1950 movie Rogues of Sherwood Forest! Plain and unadorned, and the juggler’s not doing any tricks, just a basic spin, but there they are! 110
Abacus Wizard @abacuswizard.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Also fun fact: Alan Hale played Little John in three different Robin Hood movies (1922, 1938, and 1950) because he was so perfect for the role. His son, Alan Jr, later played The Skipper in Gilligan’s Island. 010

Abacus Wizard @abacuswizard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Hmmmmmmm… a big round tower with a soft green glow inside, currently housing Ming and his allies… why does that sound familiar? 120
Abacus Wizard @abacuswizard.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Maybe Flash has to be there in person for his “hey, you folks should be more heroic” aura to work. 120
Abacus Wizard @abacuswizard.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I think the idea of international cooperation hadn’t been invented on Mongo until Flash and friends showed up out of nowhere and explained to everyone how it works. 240
Abacus Wizard @abacuswizard.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I absolutely adore artwork that contrasts stuff floating in water / under the water with stuff reflected in the water. My favorite is Escher’s “Three Worlds”: 1571
