This loss to Texas hurt.

"(Texas is) becoming a place where ideas are banned and history is censored, rights are oppressed, and identities are illegal."

Oh, you're queer?

Then name one aspect of western civilisation you've destroyed.

Wow. That episode of Strange New Worlds went full Doctor Who there, and did it amazingly while bringing some fixes to the Star Trek timelines, and even mending a dangling plot from Enterprise.

It's certainly looking like SNW could be this era of Trek's DS9.

Shattering the myth of men as hunters and women as gatherers

phys.org/news/2023-06-shatteri

"They found that women hunt in 79% of the analyzed societies, regardless of their status as mothers. More than 70% of female hunting appears to be intentional—as opposed to opportunistic killing of animals encountered while performing other activities, and intentional hunting by women appears to target game of all sizes, most often large game."

"welcome to our fender reveal party!"

"don't you mean-"

"no."

*guitars emerge from everywhere. there are no fireworks, only riffs. only chaos. there are no genders. only rock.*

#StarTrekSNW's "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" gave us the first appearance of a Denobulan in the 23rd century and the first member of this species in live-action Trek since the end of #StarTrekENT! :-)

Maybe the solution to AI isn't letting some other AI decide what is and isn't made by AI

"I am not angry because the submarine was badly-made. I am angry because I live in a vastly larger pressure vessel being managed and maintained by the exact same people." -- cohost.org/hystericempress/pos @hystericempress

Posted because I kept seeing this quote posted with the names filed off, so I did a quick google search to find the original so I could share it with full attribution.

I'm getting super-spammed with retoots and faves, so I don't need any more.

I am absolutely craving something Eastern Mediterranean. But I'm also craving Chinese. I can do one but not the other.

Gonna hit 90F/32C next Wednesday. You know what that means: TEABERRY ICE CREAM TIME

This is one of those songs that takes your mood and makes you happy wether you want to be or not.

I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, Texas BBQ is sacroscant and is a thing of perfection. But these adaptions look GOOOOD.

Thoughts Before Bed:

Ending the day on a good note. We know what is causing the cough and neck pain, and there's movement on the psoriasis front.

More to do, but now it's addressing the problems versus trying to figure the problems out.

Spent the day being productive. Dishes done, house cleaned, and, get this, I reworked my resume. That took a LOT of pain killers and ice packs, but it got done.

When I was laid off, I was given outplacement services. They took my old resume, some questions and rebuilt a new one for me. I didn't like it, but figured they knew more than I did about resume writing these days (my original resume was designed in 1999!)

I ended up taking their text and redesigning the resume to a less cluttered one, but kept the text and formatting.

Fast forward five months - I get a meeting with an unemployment person, and he basically eviscerates my resume for every reason I didn't like the rewrite. Not in a mean way, but in a very constructive way. So, I basically merged all my resumes together with his suggestion:

Clean it up, ditch the keyword list and put it in the descriptions, remove the address (location bias) remove the dates from older jobs (age bias), and don't be afraid of a two page resume.

I rather like it. Nintendo is still a WALL OF TEXT but my job at Nintendo was ten years long and I did a WALL OF JOBS there.
