Personally I doubt either one will ever become anything.

Moopsy The moopsy was a small predatory animal known for "drinking" bones. Belying its cute and harmless appearance, it was capable of launching itself at high speed towards much larger prey and draining it ...

An adorable creature from Lower Decks that will drink your skeleton out of your body if you let it get too close 😬

With Paramount+ Set To Raise Prices, CEO David Ellison Says UFC Bouts Add β€œReally Significant Value” For Subscribers Paramount CEO David Ellison said the addition of UFC bouts to Paramount+ helps justify the price hikes set to take effect on the service in early 2026.

"Paramount CEO David Ellison said the company’s addition of UFC bouts to Paramount+ at no extra charge to subscribers largely justifies the price hikes set to take effect on the service in early 2026."

Cool. So can I opt out of both of those? πŸ˜‚

It's hilarious to wake up for Monday and work and not be in the mood for any of it, but then when you auto-shuffle your music the very first song is Tori Amos' "I Don't Like Mondays".

Still not in the mood for adulting though.

The Complete History of 'Star Trek 4' Not Happening It's been a long road, getting from there to... well, nowhere.

Boy when you string the whole "all the attempts at Kelvin Trek 4" into one narrative, it's a really wild read.

I would have assumed they'd wait until he's actually on ice for the game.

If the Vegas Golden Knights really play *that* goalie in that December Philadelphia Flyers game that ESPN just grabbed the broadcast of, that could be ugly.

If I was Vegas, I wouldn't even bring him on that trip.

Seems apropos to be able to say "I voted" today. I mean it was a small local races and initiatives ballot, but a good day to do it.

And I totally get it. My impetus was when Spider-Man Remastered dropped and I didn't want to invest in a Windows machine or a Playstation just for one game. πŸ˜‚

Kind of bizarre that during a government shutdown is when the US government starts opening official accounts all over Bluesky.

But this administration does bizarre things all the time, I suppose.

I can't compare the OLED to the LCD because I've never had them side-by-side, but I admittedly went OLED just for the extra internal storage space.

As a fellow Mac user who wanted to be able to play a handful of non-Mac games, I've been very happy with it. FWIW.

A mostly silver car painted with "USS Enterprise" on the driver's door and "Galileo" above the front left tire.

Slightly closer angle of the same car showing that the "USS Enterprise" naming is accompanied aside it by a Starfleet delta symbol, and "NCC-1701/7" above the left rear tire.

Ran into these old photos from years ago while going through files and thought I'd share them. No idea whose car this was. We just randomly came across it in a parking lot while out grocery shopping.

I appreciate ESPN Select putting an ad countdown on the breaks so I know how long I can zone out before the Flyers are back.

I'm taking it from the spoilery talk here that the Sulu/Tuvok framing story will be doing some lifting in the finale besides just being "the framing story".

"If you liked Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, check out Star Trek: Section 31" is a bold strategy, Cotton.

1991 Creation & Starlog Present A Salute To Star Trek Booklet : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Giveaway program booklet for Creation's Star Trek conventions during 1991, celebrating the 25th anniversary of Star Trek

This Creation booklet does list a San Jose con in August 1991. (Though it says Patrick Stewart was the planned guest; maybe plans changed?)

A supplement for sale on Amazon comes in bottles of 90, 120, or 130. All three are priced exactly the same.

Sometimes Amazon's pricing is seriously wack.

William Shatner Suffers Medical Emergency, Rushed to Hospital William Shatner -- best known for his iconic role as Captain Kirk on "Star Trek" -- was rushed to the hospital after suffering a medical emergency, TMZ has learned.

Just to undercut the scare of the headline, he's OK after "an issue with his blood sugar" and is 'doing "good" and "resting comfortably."'

Having lived with Liquid Glass for a day now...it's fine?

I don't know what the fuss was about with all the "beware" headlines, advice on how to disable the glass look, etc. I don't even really notice it.

Is "don't notice it" a redesign win or a fail? You decide; I don't know.

You have to love when you put your mailbox flag up that there's mail in there to be picked up and on arrival the mailperson proceeds to put the flag down and then just stuff your new mail on top of the item you left out for pickup.
