A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

The complaint is: “Working from home lowers productivity.” Good. Productivity should be lower. Productivity has grown 80% since 1980. Wages have grown 7%. Until wages catch productivity, productivity should go down. It seems organizations are taking the worker's share of their productivity.

But I can't explain to someone who has no interest in art why someone would want to use specific artstyles, nor why someone would find that appealing. I love art from people who have something specific to express and to experience the feeling and texture of what that art evokes.

Screenshot from The Seance of Blake Manor showing a ghostly woman in red making "shush" gesture

Screenshot from Mundaun showing a room in the grandfather's house, all of the textures are hand-drawn with pencil.

Screenshot from Slay the Princess showing the princess looking all sad eyed, the player character's scaly hand is holding a dagger, probably for slaying, who knows?

Screenshot from Stories From Sol: The Gun-Dog showing a stern looking blond woman, the text reads:

Captain Bartermews
"Forget what I just said, that's an order."

That puts words to something I'd been trying to articulate for a long time. Clarifies it. And for those who have not seen the rest of the thread: this is also in reference to using Gen AI for "art" and in games.

For the record: NOPE. Honestly, I don’t think there’s an issue today I care about on a personal level more deeply than trans rights. And it’s rough out there right now. Bigots on one side of the political aisle and too many cowards on the other. ⬇️

I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

nothing shouts "I don't read much" more than when you equate em-dashes with AI. as Kat says here: 1) AI uses em-dashes BECAUSE AUTHORS USE THEM & AI IS TRAINED ON OUR WRITINGS! 2) "AI checkers" are complete bunk (just another AI bullshit machine), 3) this is not a "list of three" haha

Another study on youth transition that find that about 97% of all youth who says they're trans turn out to be. Only 1.1% who start HRT stopped it for any reason whatsoever. This is, like, the fifth youth transition study that I'm aware of, and all of their results have been identical.

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows a stick figure saying, "Everyone has demons."
The second panel shows the same stick figure saying, "And we must FIGHT them!"
The third panel shows Sarah (the protagonist) sitting with one of her inner demons having a tea party.
The fourth panel shows Sarah and the demon looking at each other in panic.

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and are using their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs.

I notice that over on the bad site that the people who promised us a "better deal" with Iran are now proposing special forces raids to fight their way in and secure Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium.

I prefer non-lethal distractions from the tRUMPSTEIN Files like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada the 51st state & buying Greenland. Sure it was hugely offensive to longtime friends & allies, but at least no one died.

Some time back I took a firm stance against playing, streaming, recommending, or otherwise promoting games featuring microtransactions/lootboxes, and very deliberately used the term "predatory monetization" to describe these practices, but never imagined I was pushing back on Epstein by doing so.

Finished packing up all the parfait and drink earrings for @romancingthevote.com aaaand an idea for a different set hit me. Dug through my stash and found some more wires so I could make tiny de-icer bottle earrings. Because ice is incompatible with democracy. #art #miniature #jewelry

Ten pairs of tiny bottles filled with deep blue slightly sparkly resin and labeled De-Icer, ready to be made into earrings.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
