Me whenever Kazuma Okamoto makes play or gets a hit.

My recommendation is to replace all white house reporters with big-ass Stone Cold Steve Austin looking dudes. Let's see if Mr. Frontotemporal dementia is still so mouthy.

I've never gone viral but just observing The Discourse™ has given me this impulse.

I do overall prefer the modern Blue Jays logo to the original, but the way they have up-sized the maple leaf is terribly gauche.

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

Lol, savagely accurate

Knock-off Enterprise on the cover of Galaxy 666 by Pel Torro. Tower Books, 1968... Evidently not concerned about Desilu's lawyers

Thanks to @jnoodles24.bsky.social for the link to Aad Moerman's model of the Starfleet repair tug from Armada II. I only deal in TinkerCAD as far as 3D so there's a few caveats here [1/?]

i think we have to ask ourselves what exactly toronto benefits from having a bunch of driverless cars roaming on our already-congested streets. as if single occupancy cars were not enough of an issue, let's throw zero occupancy cars that regularly block transit and emergency services into the mix

"If you were in charge of Star Trek, what would you do?" Set the show on a massive inter-galactic exploration vessel that has already been outside the Milky Way and out of touch with Starfleet for years when the show starts. Sort pack up the lore and background it in favour of new encounters.

In a shocking twist, impunity has emboldened a narcissist to descend into full megalomania

Pretty wild how so many governments around the world staring down another fossil fuel crisis are like "Sorry this is no time to reduce fossil fuel use, don't you know we're in a CRISIS"

Just catching some of the Jays opener and is it just me or does Daulton Varsho look like Tim Robinson?

This is a niche but solid '90s joke.

A thing that’s fun to think about is that when it happens it will be a GLOBAL celebration. Like there will be video from around the world of people dancing and laughing and singing

"Ah captain, you and your Federation have made some bad choices in impossible situations. You are not so unlike me, a man who has exploited and killed many people because you made me feel bad. And yes, I may have taken a sadistic joy in it all, but that doesn't make you better than me…"

This Vulcan weapons dealer from DS9 is Santiago's mom on Brooklyn Nine Nine.

A very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Borrowed a Fourth Doctor comic from Hoopla and boy do I ever hate this technique of photoshopping in the faces of main characters rather than just drawing them. Sticks out like a sore thumb!

These poster restoration videos are so satisfying... And I don't think I've ever seen this Vallejo Empire Strikes Back peice before?! youtube.com/shorts/zxxPL...

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Very cool that people can just own a part of the planet and pass it on to their ancestors in perpetuity no matter what else changes in the world. Cool. Cool cool cool. Probably no need to ever examine that? Right? www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Sebastian Gorka at the 2019 CPAC convention: “they want to take away your hamburgers. This is what Stalin dreamt about but never achieved.”

New Climate Town y'all. Wanna learn about the series of increasingly idiotic moves that led to our roads being overrun by over-sized wankpanzers? youtu.be/JPm4de6-eTg?...

#78 Metamorpho - Ink and gouache on 13 x 19 bristol #metamorpho

Very cool timing on the magic slop generator coming into existence when there's a demented ego maniac in the White House. What a fun confluence!

Here's the problem, though. If you stand up to tanks in the streets, everyone will agree you're a Brave Hero. But if you stand up to the small things -- stopping the train before it really gets started -- you will be coded as *annoying*, as uptight, as moralistic, as uncool.

Shout out to this little support ship that Jetfreak-7 has put into the background of some of their pieces. I think it's from a fan mod for the game Armada II? I like it a lot. Love a stout little utility ship. Wish there was a higher detail model out there to see.

Musing about heated roads/sidewalks & ground source heat pumps: a green energy thought experiment/wishcasting. This is pie-in-the-sky stuff from a layman, so bear with me. A 🧵:

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

Was watching episode 2 of Wonder-Man and as I am wont to do, looked up this actress from the scene at the self-tape studio... Turns out it is Rachel Robinson, who played Melanie in the DS9 episode The Visitor. And in looking *that* up, I learned that she is Andrew Robinson's daughter.

Not in the market for VHS... But I mean...

"There's a lot more builders in Toronto than there are oil companies in Alberta" An ex oil patch worker has switched from drilling for oil to drilling for geothermal. You love to see it. An off-ramp for at least some of the workers in the oil and gas industry. youtu.be/dBMx8KsbnY8?...

Woof. I know there are bigger problems in the world, but as someone who *loves* old mass market paperbacks, this explainer on their demise is a kick in the pants.

Went out to the Island today which was fun experience with our current winter weather. Absolutely wild seeing so many people out on the lake.

Recently started watching Blake's 7. It's off to a fairly promising start! The lead actor seemed familiar and I think it's just that he looks like if they Tuvixed Christopher Meloni and Elliott Gould.

I've been on the hunt for a copy of the first Vanguard novel for years. Realized I should try the library. They still have a copy in circulation! It's 20 years old and sure does look like it. Not sure how much longer it has left so I maybe borrowed it right in the nick of time.

On the topic of mobile hologram emitters, my lukewarm take is that Arnold Rimmer's light bee on Red Dwarf was a much better execution of the concept than the Doctor's mobile emitter on Voyager.

So is the idea with SAM that the are just holo-emitters *everywhere*? Even this bar? And she can just seemlessly make use of them? Or is there some sort of hidden mobile emitter we're just not seeing? Like a cloud of nanites?

happy friday

Hm, this old building that's going to be torn down was the original location for the ice cream parlour "Dutch Dreams" and was featured in the movie Half Baked during the cheap date scene. www.blogto.com/real-estate-...

Apropos the STO Klingon ships being canonized, I'll shout out the YouTube channel Venom Geek Media that does fun "fanon" backstory videos on Trek ships - canon, video game, fan-made, etc. Here's one about the QeHpu' which was on the recent SFA episode youtu.be/xwvj35MI1lo?...

The not getting the joke contingent in the replies is something to behold.

I wish new Trek was more careful about this kind of thing. They still have dumpsters in the 32nd century? Or this particular idiom somehow managed to survive for a millennium?

Rude.
