  @MirrorAyako@universeodon.com @lxskllr@mastodon.world With the start of #Babylon5 being officially released episode-by-episode on YouTube, would there be interest in adding it to the #AllStarTrek viewing party rotation? https://youtu.be/HQXZ3HZ-fFk Sure, it's not #StarTrek, but it does have Walter Koenig, Majel Barrett, Andreas Katsulas, and Patricia Tallman, all of whom are Trek legends for various reasons. More and more, the #B5 story arcs also speak to many of the same touchstone issues...

  RE: https://neuromatch.social/@fancysandwiches/117000984842068309 I don't have words for my feelings. Read the story. Regardless of a person's circumstance, whatever reason they are present in our country, we should not send them away to die. We should be a force for good, not enthusiastic accomplices to evil. Our leaders who enact and support such policies are as guilty of murder as those who pulled the trigger. Worse yet, they commit treason against our founding values of Life, Libe...

  "If Congress wishes to establish independent agencies to assist it with its functions, it may do so. But it may not foist those agencies upon the #President, and thus deprive him of ‘the executive power vested [in him] by the Constitution,’" writes Chief Justice #JohnRoberts in the #SupremeCourt decision that overturns nearly a century of precedent. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5935135-supreme-court-trump-independent-agencies-firing-protections/ Fortunately, he...

  My mileage: The Wrath of Khan The Voyage Home The Final Frontier (for the story, not the directing) The Undiscovered Country The Search for Spock Insurrection Generations First Contact The Motion Picture (The Burns Cut) Nemesis Star Trek Beyond The Motion Picture (The Director's Cut) Star Trek (2009) Star Trek Into Darkness The Burns Cut (https://youtu.be/EkDF3Kufh6c) is the 10 minutes of plot from The Motion Picture. One Trekkie friend couldn't name a single missing scene LOL....

  @linuxgal What my version of the list doesn't show is that I've had HIKE Animation's "Space Opera" rendition of TMP's Enterprise reveal in a permanently-pinned tab for more than a decade: https://youtu.be/gvPrYMczF3k You raise continuity with the TV show, and that's why The Final Frontier is so high on my list. It feels the most like a #TOS episode, so well keyed into the Kirk/Spock/McCoy dynamic with a real sci-fi story that feels like...

  RE: https://flipboard.com/@mlivecom/michigan-news-from-mlive.com-bnm6qshiz/-/a-BXSje7sqQp6rrCJo5-EB7A%3Aa%3A2877899648-%2F0 Using a photo from the Woodward Dream Cruise automotive parade to lead a story about threats of religious violence is a choice. Yeah, the car has the applicable city name on it, but... The photo has nothing to do with the story. If you don't have something better, just use one of your usual meaningless police stock photos that's a closeup of a light bar.

  RE: https://social.gamefan.net/@techwire/116847475917354320 This entire article is nonsense. Configured as described, the VPN on your router is going to do exactly nothing to protect the rest of network from your smart TV.

  #WhiteHouse and #CBS #ParamountPlus are celebrating, uh, #PrideMonth (??) by inviting a bunch of mostly naked men who invest heavily in their bodies and appearance to consensually grope one another and submit to a masochistic dominance ritual performed in public and filmed for the gratification of others. As long as everyone involved subscribes to #RACK (risk-aware consensual kink) I don't have any moral objections to what people do with each other. Just not sure why it's okay to spend...

  RE: https://social.gamefan.net/@techwire/116487732997843531 So glad we skipped the #Chevy Equinox EV and went for the #Hyundai Ioniq 5 instead. (Amusingly, according to the window stickers, the "foreign" Ioniq has more domestic content and is assembled in the United States, whereas the "domestic" Equinox EV has less domestic content and is assembled outside the US.) #cars #automotive #tech #AI #transpo

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@geoworldpolitical/116499884174137519 "AI insubordination" Look that word up: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/insubordination Is it really #insubordination if we've collectively put #AI in charge through negligence and ignorance? Humans have become the subordinates by our own decision. We've ceded the authority by giving up #thinking and handing that privilege to machines that can only simulate thought.

  RE: https://eicker.news/@technews/116359086802625947 And #TV seasons are getting shorter. What was 22-26 episodes per year is now 10 if you're lucky. #Media luminaries claim they've focused on quality, eliminating the 12 worst episodes of the year. Nope. Every season has 3-4 doozies regardless of the total number. Now almost half the eps stink. Meanwhile we're robbing not only the audience but also the #actors, #writers, FX #artists, propmakers, and all the rest who a...

  Just wait until #FIFA finds out what their #PeacePrize recipient has done since "earning" their "prestigious" "award." https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/soccer/2026/02/02/gianni-infantino-defends-trump-fifa-peace-prize/88476401007/ They are going to get so...rich.
