The Federation: We are a peace-loving utopian society dedicated to exploration without doing harm or intruding on the rights of other civilizations and races. Also the Federation: Hey I got a great idea for what to name that new ship.

Memory Alpha entry for the USS Cortez, Background information section: This starship was only mentioned in dialogue.

The Star Trek Encyclopedia, 4th ed., vol. 1, p. 163 stated the starship was "named for Hernán Cortés, the Spanish conquistador who overthrew the Aztec empire and won Mexico for the crown of Spain."

That's awesome! Also, @everincarnate.bsky.social had this commissioned for me for my birthday the first year we were together.

I regret to inform you that your very good posts have escaped containment with, uh... predictable results.

A screenshot from Facebook. A person named Laura Cameron Turner says: Y'all know how big a part of my life Lord of the Rings is. How important to me Tolkien's works are.

But yes, if it turned out that his estate was taking the money made from it and donating that money directly to horrible causes, I would excise that property from my life entirely. Some questions of ethics and morality are far more important than "but I really like that story." Over a screenshot of the two posts from Stacy that this post is a reply to.

Replies to the facebook post in the last image. First is from a brain-genius named Robert Strong: What are the source(s)? When did they do this? Is it still going on?

I looked for information from a source other than "springer"

This is what ai found about the estate but didn't see a listing about money to segregation. What segregation causes did they donate and when?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolkien_Estate

A second person, Jenn Burnett, who has outsourced their thoughts to an evil machine says: What Al said...No - that story appears to be backwards. And your instinct that it doesn't fit the Tolkien we know from his letters is justified.

I looked into it because this is one of those claims that gets repeated online without much context. I cannot find credible evidence that J.R.R. Tolkien paid money to preserve segregation or apartheid in South Africa. What the historical record shows is... more

Went to a Renaissance Festival today and it really helped me finally pinpoint what my sexuality is.

An image of a gothy lady knight in purple accented armor holding a surrendering male knight by the hair as he knees on the ground, readying her gigantic sword to execute him, looking delighted by the whole process

The same lady knight a few seconds later, preparing to decapitate the male knight with a truly gigantic sword

Chat, is it good when a site's head of trust and safety uses an automated system to block half the users?

Honestly, though, they don't look much worse than the versions from the Xena and Hercules animated movie.

I have only today learned that they are still making episodes of What Would You Do? and they are so out of ideas that the setups have become spectacular:

"Episode 15" April 9, 2025

A husband tries to convince his wife to sell photos of her feet online. The scenario is later replayed, with the wife wanting to post photos of her feet and her husband objecting. A pledge is hazed by two fraternity members. Two college students study for their finals by drinking excessive amounts of energy drinks. A mother disagrees with her daughter's decision to use in vitro fertilization for religious reasons.

I will never stop being sad that the story just...stops. The puzzles were next level. I still have this origami butterfly that my spouse and I made as part of solving one of the Tokyo investigation missions.

"Okay, but is it racist if we make it so confusing that no one can pinpoint *why* it's racist? ...STILL? Goddammit."

Photo of a cheaply made action figure still in package. Card back says the line is "American Indians" and that the action figure has bendable joints. It also has an illustration of a man in a war bonnet on one side, and to the other a much lower quality illustration of a covered wagon being driven by a smiling white cavalry soldier and a very smiley, waving indigenous woman that he definitely didn't kidnap. The figure itself, despite the line's name, is a very, very white man with blonde hair wearing a skin tight blue sci fi bodysuit and holding a gigantic, modern shotgun. The only other accessory is a miniature totem pole.

Oh, you still think Carmella isn't trans? Have you ever seen weirdos devote this much text to why a cis person doesn't have a place in their society? Checkmate, doubters.

A facebook post from a group about Count Chocula and the rest of the cereal monsters: When people say they dislike Carmella Creeper (the character) it's not that they hate the idea of the character. They very specifically dislike the design choices made for the character that makes her not fit in with the rest.

She doesn't seem to have been designed by people understood the historical legacy of the existing characters, what worked about them, and what would need to be done to create a new character that fits into the existing ecosystem of the last 50 years.

If she has been more of an outdated looking witch dressed in Disco clothing she would have captured the same vibe of Chocula, FrankenBerry, Boo Berry, Frute Brute, and Yummy Mummy, who at the time of their creation were already iconic concepts of monster archetypes that avoided being infuenced by modern pop culture tropes of the time of their creation.

Chocula, Frankenberry, Boo Berry and Frute Brute were all created in the 70s and their design didn't exploit anything we would associate with 70s pop culture. So when they did do a story where they went to a disco, THE MONSTERS GO DISCO in 1979, the contrast between monsters from the 1800s, made popular in the 20s/30s/40s/50s & 60s, really felt humorously out of place.

With Carmella, they created a monster that existed in the present. Who looked like a goth from present day. Wouldn't it have been more fun if she was born in the 70s and dressed like an underground punk scene type who didn't realize that The Ramones or Sid and Nancy are no longer considered "NEW"

The thing that stands out the most is they made her "cool". These monsters are supposed to be afraid of each other, and humorously outdated, and not cool.

That being said, here's a cool Becca Whitaker take on Carmella for you fans out there.

You and this lady should sit down and have a talk. Sounds like she's being ridiculous.

Post by literally the same person I'm responding to: "If you convince everyone that everyone who runs for office is a bad person, and you want not to be seen as a bad person, then you won't run for office even if you desperately want to do good things to help people, which means ONLY BAD PEOPLE wind up running for office."

"The Transformers do not endorse the views of the President" okay, great, yeah, it's very normal that you had to say that. This is an ordinary world where things make sense. It's normal that I'd wake up to an official statement from cartoon robots denouncing the man who has the nuclear codes.

I bought this at a DIY craft fair right before everyone started talking about trans Spidey.

A block print patch, white ink on black canvas of a comic book cover "The Amazing Transsexual Spider Woman" featuring a busty trans Spidey being attacked by Doc Ock's tentacles. A banner asks "She's out of estradiol & web fluid, can she beat Doc Ock??"
