Queer Trekkie Old Dude on a strange and difficult path. Erklärbär. I practice Buddhism because I'm terrible at it. Autistic as a motherf***er. I love humans, all of them, but humanity is a constant disappointment.

I remember my first pet, because I remember all of them. Other than that, every security question is baffling and I must a. create fictions and b. write them down on a specific note-card without which I would be living in 1971.

My understanding is that it is bad enough to be mediocre but not nearly bad enough to rank with "Keep your own God! In fact, this might be a good time to pray to Him" in the pantheon of "Holy crap this bad movie is fun!"

Thinking about it, I've never been fired. Which is MIND-BOGGLING. I slept on the clock at WarMart, when I wasn't liberating food. I once said "I hate the public" at a Chamber of Commerce meeting (I worked for the Chamber). I wore a sarong to a shift as a barista. Maybe I'm hard to recall?

Oh, I get that. I didn't make a prescriptive food diary; I kept a descriptive food journal. It sort of allowed me to crab-walk up on the problem without devolving into paralyzing anxiety about "keeping an appointment."

I had to keep a food diary for four years before I got that specific problem under control, but it did help.

Serious question as someone who has loved both franchises for decades: why the heck do people want Doctor Who to cross over with Star Trek? It would diminish both series.

A. The UK is a joke country that coasts on once being significant (negative). B. Get a physical copy of SW: TESB now I guess, if you still live under the Haus Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha's rule...
Scene from Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back in which Leia slips her brother Luke some tongue action while a furry, his life partner, and an Academy Award cosplayer (Chewbacca, Han Solo, and C-3P0) look on.

I'd feel a lot more comfortable if Skydance put Trek in a deep dark drawer for a while until the studio or the IP goes to people who aren't rancid bigots with a tendency to dircetly interfere with production.

Without further information, I'm filing this aircraft in the same (circular) file as the autonomous robot, the rescue sub, the hyperloop, the stackable brick construction, the brain implant, the Mars mission, &c. If Musk could ever actually invent something, he'd be genuinely dangerous.

Nobody who can't play this video game should be anywhere near government
Screen capture from the original video game "Castlevania," depicting a series of peach blocks in front of a dark blue background of pillars. On the blocks, Simon Belmont's sprite is throwing a fire-bomb at "The Creature," a boss based on Frankenstein's creation.

No, proper bluesky is a cowardly liberal centrist sack of shit having a pfp of a Wobblie. If the term "Democrat" means "person with blue hat but the same policies," who gives a damn? Connolly died for his beliefs; Tallarico wouldn't risk a stubbed toe to defend whatever his are.

I can't even muster a vague look of shock. At this point I've completely disassociated from US politics because they're so meaningless. I'm supporting the Free Soil Party, and opposition to the terms of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

Hello #StarTrek hive mind! Anyone out there have the ability to help us digitize this studio 3M UCA-30 UMatic tape? Shoot us a DM if so! Hoping to replace old copy-of-copy-of-Youtube copy footage with some source video.

The Conjuring movies are my personal nightmare: a series of inexplicably successful movies about people who I *know a lot about* and who were evil frauds. My inner footnote demon startes weeping blood whenever they are mentioned.

Probably. The frame of reference is necessary, I asssume; I never found the Exorcist frightening because I just...am not afraid of "demons?"

"Reasons Ben Shapiro is a slimeball" is a bottomless well, so that's an excellent investment.

He is, but it's certainly odd that this is the *second* time that Trejo, to my knowledge, has been "tricked" into taking money from the DailyWire gang, which makes me think that this is damage control.

I want to make it clear that I am not a medical professional or a lawyer, although I played one in a school play once. Talk to your doctor about whether "Shutting the fuck up" is right for you. (It is. It is right for you.)

As much as it pains me to say this, she purchased a yacht that once belonged to a potential Epstein associate, but had been sold to a different person when Rowling purchased it in 2023. There's no *direct* connection between her billionaire megayacht and Epstein as such. She still sucks ass.
