Having seen more, I'm convinced the best way to summarize this show is - TNG/DS9/VOY were shows for nerds, this...this is a show for non-nerd awkward teens.

At the grocery, I ask the person behind the counter: Excuse me, do you all have chocolate mug cake? Her: what, you mean like m-u-g, mug? My response: I'm not sure how else to spell it... Her: no, I don't think so I want off. Please let me off.

I watched the 1st EP of Starfleet Academy. I'm not a fan yet. The writing is weird...like they're writing it for people they know will be on their phones. Everything is explained and described in dizzying detail. And it seems far less cerebral than other Trek. Maybe I'm just old.

I finally found a way to explain my personality.

They don't care about being dumb, they don't care about lying, they don't give a rats a55 about being hypocritical, they don't even care about law. The only thing they DO care about is...dominance. Being able to force their will. The sooner that realization sets in, the better off everyone will be.

maybe I'm dumb, but 40 days of training doesn't seem adequate when making decisions that potentially end lives buuuut, that assumes the group even needs to exist in the first place which, they don't

This month for Fiat Lingua I did a re-read and reflect on @quothalinguist.bsky.social’s new book How to Create a Language: The Conlang Guide. I go through each chapter and give you my thoughts along the way and some bts info on how it was produced. #conlang fiatlingua.org/2026/01/

gonna try to live until 2085 to see if the use of "posse" really is a centennial trend

I made a new video! It’s a Valya version of one of Aesop’s fables, which was first suggested for conlang translations (to me, at least) by Keras Saryan over on the Let’s Have a Bouba discord. If you followed along with Valya Lexember, you may recognize some words! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGX3...

Omyatloko update Omyatloko Logosyllabary There are now 1163 logograms, and a new method of numeral annotation. This will likely be the last update to this script for a great long while. Although, I do intend to use it in translations for Kala, it is cumbersome and difficult to keep track of. I'd…

You see, folks, it's only "illegal" if you care about the law. There may, or may not be a pattern emerging. It may have started in the late 1970's...or could have really kicked into gear circa 2016. It's hard to say, exactly.

Lo siento y ojalá pudiera hacer algo al respecto.

2026 I'm not a fan of "New Year's Resolutions", mainly because they're often either too vague, or too specific...and frequently difficult to maintain without horrendous life-style changes, etc. However, I spent a good portion of 2025 ignoring this blog. So, in conjunction with being somewhat bored…
