I've been ill and basically spent the last two days asleep. I'm going to try to stay awake all of today but I already feel tired. A whole day is a long time to stay awake if you ask me.

Surely, at this point, even the biggest football fans are going to be boycotting the World Cup.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

I know people are waking up to how bad streaming services are for artists, music discovery and the environment. If you have a huge collection of mp3s like me, I can't recommend www.navidrome.org enough. You do need to be a bit techy to set it up, but it's pretty straightforward.

This guy, Dean Jones, was great at playing scientists. The other night I saw him in an episode of Murder, She Wrote called Harbinger of Death where he played an astronomer.

Fuck you Maria (don't worry, she's just a bot). Anyway, I am very slowly getting better at chess. Very, very slowly. Very, very, very slowly.

I loved Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula by Christian Klaver! I'm a huge Holmes fan and I can see some of the more traditional fans balking at this type of crossover but it was so cool!!! It's just so well done. I had an idea of what it would be in my head and it was infinitely better than that.

This looks amazing!!!

I do not understand in a world where comic book movies dominated the theaters for a decade and more people play D&D than ever why Hollywood still insists that every other fantasy movie needs to set a chunk of the film in the "real world" as some attempt at a meta narrative. Just let it be a fantasy.

Fucking hell, somehow the new Masters of the Universe film looks even shitter than the Dolph Lundgren version.

Education is the “most important dividing line” in attitudes towards immigration and support for right-wing politics in the UK, according to research

It seems the name of one of Starfleet Academy's sports teams is "Laplings", as seen on banners in #StarfleetAcademy's first two episodes "Kids These Days" and "Beta Test". The team (and possibly also its mascot) is named after laplings, as seen in #StarTrekTNG's "The Most Toys"➡️ and "New Ground".

Every workday is a nightmare of course but Mondays are particularly brutal. I can't wait to be 67 years old!

Look, it's The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue. I love this film so much!!! If you haven't watched it, you definitely should. You know, if you like zombies.

There's a chess set with angular glass /crystal game pieces in Mir and Reymi's Starfleet Academy cadet quarters in #StarfleetAcademy's "Beta Test"↗️↘️↙️. The pieces are similar to the ones in Picard's Starbase Earhart cadet quarters in #StarTrekTNG's "Tapestry"↖️.

I've only watched the first episode so it's too early to tell but if the rest of Starfleet Academy is as good as the first ep, I may have a new favourite captain. Jean-Luc Picard is my current favourite captain but she was so good!

Globus was a small rotating globe, approximately five inches wide, displaying the spacecraft's current and projected position above Earth. Instead of digital systems, it operated through a complex network of gears, cams, and mechanical differentials that converted orbital data into globe motion.
