  TIL that James Doohan, along with producer John Povill, devised the basic sounds and handful of words used for the Klingon language in the first Star Trek film. Doohan recorded the lines he invented onto a tape, which were used by the actors to learn. More well-known is that Paramount brought in linguist Mark Okrand to create a fully-fledged written and verbal language for Star Trek III based on Doohan’s work, which is the most widely used fictional language on earth. #startrek #til

  RE: https://social.lol/@thetonearm/116429606649389263 I am re-digging the format. Portable, excellent sound quality, and much cheaper than the cost of a vinyl. in fact, just got a copy of Massive Attack Mezzanine (double album edition) and D’Angelo’s classic Voodoo.

  Peter Zeihan is one of my favorite these days on domestic and geopolitical issues. Very high signal to noise packed into about four minutes. Here are a couple very good recent videos on the situation in Venezuela and the revived Monroe Doctrine stuff coming out from the Trump admin. Well worth your valuable time. https://youtu.be/ddojVgGAryQ?si=ox8PhXn2-gSNWYGu https://youtu.be/K2f-tBameI0?si=EsKBNwBv1oJZ6F-T https://youtu.be/FwU4cGWDAAA?si=LaUVmSotbZv5mlWI #venezuela #VenezuelaInvasion
