I know ppl here never want to be “uninformed” but it’s ok to not log on to a website that is just “oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck” on an endless scroll even if that is a justified reaction

Who'd think you'd need a bilge pump in space.

Love the screens in the background.

As an aside, this gives me an idea that someone could theoretically "sneak" through time largely undetected using naturally occuring temporal anomalies.

This is also true for (likely autistic) aroace. It's fun times!

It's a good time, if you've never been.

Hmm, no good. All I have is a sod house at the edge of town, and those suckers don't burn worth a damn at all. And that's beside the point that I never live in the thing, being otherwise occupied riding range.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that trauma changes people, and healing from that takes time and effort. Miles is a good example of things going right, but they don't always. For example, I don't think Kirk ever shook his hatred of Klingons. Controlled it yes, but it never really went away.

People are complex, and Star Trek is really good at showing that. As I recall it took O'Brien a couple of seasons to overcome his hatred of Cardassians, and accept that they're not a monolith, and different individuals are as varied and colourful as anyone in the federation.

Tbf, no one had seen a Romulan in a century when Kirk went up against them, so that was a pretty clean slate. Ask someone a century earlier what they thought about Romulans and you'd likely get a different answer. The Klingon ambassador in SNW was pretty affable, shame about the war crimes.

Did that. No one showed up, so I stopped asking.

This just in: Star Trek TOS has first confirmed appearance of sexy transforming catgirl. Anime enjoyers left shocked and speechless. Twelve dead.

a man says let them die in front of a white wall Alt: Kirk says "Let them die!" In regards to the Klingons.

The TOS/SNW era was one of the most tumultuous and violent eras of the early federation and people are people so I'm not entirely surprised. You see similar attitudes towards the Cardassians after the UFP/CARD war and the occupation of Bajor before the Dominion war, and towards former Borg in Picard

Gulley with several tree trunks on the left and part of a pine on the right. Several moss-covered fallen trees span the view. The forest floor is bright green with freshly sprputed leaves of wild garlic.

A bit of the "circle of life" in the Wye Valley today. Dead and fallen trees lie in a gulley, serving as a surface for dense patches of moss. And all around them, wild garlic is bursting from the soil to welcome Spring.

And do your part by refraining from "smell-this activism."

"Did you see this awful thing this awful man said? Here, look. Isn't it awful? Isn't he awful?"

...Why are you doing that?

Why are you the free street team for the worst people online? Why are you signal-boosting misery?

Don't do that.

Small light orange mushroom grows out of moss in the forest. The mushroom is about the height of the tallest pieces of moss around it.  The mushroom has a slightly curved top with a darker center, and its gills are showing beneath. The moss is bright green and very wet from recent rain.

ROBIN HOOD THE MUSICAL ON ICE, except we're watching it as an in-universe production in the world of ZOOTOPIA.

Dad was crazy for silver. He bought #jewelry, antiques, even ingots of the stuff. What I thought was investment turned out to be insurance. Last month, we found his secret room with the reinforced door, the manacles, and piles of calendars with each full moon circled in red.

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon

panel one:
three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. 

panel two:
the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested.

panel three:
as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-"

panel four
phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

Sticking eyes on stuff is a time honoured tradition predating even space travel.

Show is okay, the movie is good. I wouldn't worry about making any decisions until they get around to announcing whatever it is they're up to next week.
