Always respect the First Officer!

The painted backdrop seen behind Chairman Sonji on Gamelan V in #StarTrekTNG's "Final Mission"⬅️ was originally created for the film "Logan's Run"➡️ where the main building is the Sandman Headquarters. You can still see the maze car transportation tube running into the building.

XML is bad, right? Like, that's just an awful way to have machines organizing information.

Ladies and gentlemen, your moment of zen. 🦜💃

Did you know that trans people have the magical mystical power to violate the laws of physics and transition through time itself? Here, you can see a young David Attenborough encountering the strange beast that is a trans woman back in 1973, which, since everybody knows there were no trans people before 2015, means that she had to travel for more than 40 years, uphill both ways, just to be there:

This episode, which contained terminology and language no longer deemed appropriate, but reflecting the attitudes and standards of its own era, featured trans women from the “Transex Liberation Group.” The trans content starts about one minute and thirty seconds in.

The group members held a discussion about their experiences as trans women in the 1960s and 1970s, commenting on day-to-day challenges, workplace issues and their transition journeys.

One speaker called Rachel talked about the difficulties she faced using bathrooms—an issue resonating with the current trans rights struggle. “If you go to the toilet, people turn immediately to see which one you are going to use,” she explained. “Things like this can get rather embarrassing at times.”

Why is GUI pronounced "gooey" but UI isn't pronounced "ooey"

What upsets me most about all the special treatment that the former president/current criminal defendant is getting in court isn't that his rights are being upheld, it is that everyone else isn't getting the same considerations. We have two sets of laws in our country, and it stinks! One for the privileged and the other for everyone else who would already be in jail for lesser crime.

If you're wondering why I haven't made any jokes about the worm that died in RFK Jr.'s brain, it's because the worm in my brain informed me that this is no laughing matter and we should be mourning the great loss of its fallen comrade.
