I get to see them at the Warfield in SF in a couple of weeks and I’m super stoked. First time seeing Bob Mould perform live.

So, do I wear my TOS-era Star Trek uniform to showings of Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Wrath of Khan this weekend?

are you always angry at yourself for not living up to your own expectations? and so obsessed with self-improvement that you don’t notice any progress you’ve already made? constantly focusing on what “flaw” to fix next? and feel like you’ll never be satisfied? ...yeah, me too.

Post a 90s photo of yourself.

An incredibly pixelated (c'mon, it's only 390x270) photo of this user from about 1998. He's sitting at a very messy desk in a very cluttered office. There's a 19" CRT monitor in front of him and another on the table behind him. Papers are thumbtacked to bulletin boards beside him and behind him. There's a circular fan and a small boombox-style radio on the desk as well.

TOS: “The Doomsday Machine”. Tense, quotable, tightly written, and William Windom is :chef’s kiss: My favorite piece of Trek visual media, which really isn’t an episode, is Short Treks’ “The Trouble With Edward”.

“Chuft-Captain” is the character’s name. They also use the species name “Kzinti” in the episode. Not quite sure what you’re trying to say here.

spatula = "SPAE-chuh-lah" I'd definitely heard it but had no reference to connect that collection of sounds with that spelling, so I thought the word I was reading was "spah-TOO-lah".

I am not really a “oh, have to take a picture of that cosplay” person, but this guy at GalaxyCon San Jose today definitely triggered that.

Photo of a person dressed as Chuft Captain from the Star Trek: The Animated Series episode “The Slaver Weapon”. He’s in a screen-accurate pink and purple spacesuit and holding the Slaver weapon. Over his shoulder is a cross-body bag with a picture of Telepath with a pink ribbon in his hair and the words “Hello Kzinti” stitched on.

Women are not responsible for Andrew Tate. Feminists are not responsible for the male loneliness epidemic. We will not be blamed for the patriarchal rape culture we are trapped in. It’s time for men to hold other men accountable. We’ve tried for long enough. We’re done.

Out of all the bits and pieces of _Snow Crash_ that have stayed in my head since I first read it in 1993, the best is still "Jack the sound barrier. Bring the noise."

Thirty-five years later, I still think it was a crime that all the marketing spoiled that the Arnold Terminator was the good guy in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. God, imagine if that had been kept a secret, imagine the reactions in the theater.

People need to get it through their heads that whatever they *might* have “actually” meant a couple of years ago, when leftists say “AIPAC” or “Israel” NOW they often mean (((Jewish))) just as when MAGA says “DEI” they mean “Black.” If you can’t get that I don’t know what the else to say.

But are Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes referred to as “the Canadian Encyclopedia“?

Is there a definition for “the Canadian Encyclopedia” that I don’t know that would be accurate here?

Oh, we have no doubt that Christopher Nolan's new film is very good. But let's get real for a second. We all know the only truly great Odyssey will always be the original. The second one is cool, too.
