iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I've reached the point in my Voyager rewatch where the Borg Cousin Olivers have come aboard. They're all really annoying, obviously, but the young girl is the woooooorrrrst! And why do the twins never speak? Could they not afford to give them lines? :p And less said about Icheb, the better :p

It's also Fornacalia, the ancient Roman festival of ovens/baking, and Fornax, the goddess of the same :)

That's sort of what I thought you might mean; I just couldn't make it make sense when you weren't referring to Musk.

Apologies, it's usually the Americans defending the military. Yep, you could probably do with more of it, with the US the way it is :/

Your military is mostly used to invade other countries and start illegal wars, in order to steal resources such as oil.

Really? The war criminal Tony Blair has gone all Right-wing? Shocking.

All of the above, plus they want people to be overworked, overwhelmed and under-fed; tired, poor, compliant, and more likely to fall for division and Fascism.

Why am I seeing so many posts from people praising AI for its use in coding?

...and are behind Reform, Labour & the Tories. They own much of the press, and a great many social media sites. Just because they haven't fully succeeded here yet, it doesn't mean that all the different Fascistic elements that have aren't all part of the same plan. You seem happy to wait until...

Barsha Foxman (Bassareus Nyktelios) @barsha-foxman.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

Sure you are. Global Fascism has been on the rise for a number of years, planned and funded by (mostly) American Christo-Fascist billionaires. They're behind the current situation in the US, and Israel. They're behind the various Fascist groups & parties across Europe. They were behind Brexit...

Terribly sorry, let's wait for every single condition to be met before we call it Fascism. Ignore that sick & disabled people will be starved and made homeless, or that trans people will have their rights removed, or that people will be imprisoned for opposing genocide. You are complicit.

Barsha Foxman (Bassareus Nyktelios) @barsha-foxman.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

Yep, keep your head in the sand, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Barsha Foxman (Bassareus Nyktelios) @barsha-foxman.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

Yes, let's all worry about the dictionary definition, while global Fascism takes hold. Stupid, centrist cunt.

Starmer is anti-trans, anti-immigrant, anti-disabled/sick, anti-poor, anti-protest, all while being pro-genocide & pro-Nazi. You're talking utter shit.

I didn't say "both the same". I said "neither are good".

I'm sorry, are you saying Johnson was further Right than Starmer?

Yes! What if we treated extremely normal human variation as something other than a "disorder"??? www.positive.news/society/yout...

Some people just enjoy a good Brendeling. It's perfectly natural, and there's no shame in it.

If your only choices for voting are full Fascist and slightly less Fascist, then either way, you're voting for Fascists.

Actually, if you zoom in, you can see Julian under the water, next to the lower right corner of the basket :)

I think it's unlikely we'll get any females until it warms back up a little :p Typical males, jumping the gun :p

Frog! There's a second one also, in front of the basket that the first one is in, but he's mostly under the leaves/mud. I've named them Garak and Julian :p Temperatures are dropping a bit over the weekend, with a risk of ice in some parts, so I will be keeping an eye on them :)
