Picard clearly remembers the Enterprise-D refit having Phasers on the nacelles, so after the loss of Two Galaxy class ships in a year in combat situations, he advised Starfleet to fit them onto the USS Venture as an experiment.

a captioned galaxy map of my Stellaris playthrough. It shows a huge cluster of red [!] problem areas, with a tooltip showing a huge fleet, in the Upper-left quadrant of the galaxy. It shows My civilization lives all the way opposite it in the lower-right quadrant.

accidentally created a Great Khan to unite the feuding warlords as I was trying to eliminate them. Fortunately it's as far from me as it could possibly be lol

We're waiting
For the gates of Grembelor
To open, to open
For the dragon knights.

We're waiting, waiting.
The countryside is ravaged,
The King's health is abating,
We're waiting, waiting.

If AI bros are calling people's actual artwork slop then we have truly reached peak laziness as a civilization.

Ethereal Journey by Richard H. Fay Deep within the crumbling pages Of a forgotten ancient tome, I uncover an arcane spell That opens a hidden doorway Out of the material plane. Mystical words roll off my tongue; I pass through the cosmic portal. Freed from the bounds of mortal flesh I encounter eldritch beings Both beautiful and horrific. Strange violet phantoms soar past Riding the ethereal tides. Their translucent bodies glisten In the phosphorescent glimmer That permeates the dim grey void. Glowing orbs glitter like diamonds As they dance in frantic circles. I extend my pale spectral hand Toward the brilliant spectacle, But the lights sputter and go out. Rainbow hued beasts swarm about me. Their amorphous forms wax and wane As their tentacles touch my soul. Finding my presence distasteful, They retreat back into the murk. Shadowy ghosts slip into view Ere they fade into nothingness. Their thin ragged bodies billow Like the wretchedly tattered sails Of a dismal storm-battered hulk. Troubled by the sorrowful sight, I pull my weary spirit back Along the gossamer tethers Tied to my corporeal shell, Then fall exhausted to the floor. (Originally published Aug 2008 in Bewildering Stories, Issue 301)

Poem "Ethereal Journey" originally published August 11, 2008, in Issue 301 of the webzine Bewildering Stories and also published August 2011 in the ResAliens Press print anthology While the Morning Stars Sing,

Kind of interesting to know that I'm just a collection of molecules and atoms that came together and said,

"This society sucks! Music rules!"

And that's my ride and die for life.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Out looking for buried treasure #oilpainting #art

I've been in a storm like that before too and thought I was gonna die lol.

Negative 20. Checkmate.

I like this artwork 😄

❤️❤️❤️

Omg I see the pen on the right... Nowhere.

Happy bday! The world sucks, but we're all gonna age so we may as well celebrate living as long as possible.

I have used this image as my banner, but never showed it off properly. So for this #MineralMonday, I proudly present this spectacular specimen of Malachite!

I've been DELIGHTED by shift in convos in marketing circles this year, where breathless gurus now share stunning insights like: "there's so much LLM slop now that best way to make your content stand out is to hire human writers!!!"

WHO COULD HAVE FORESEEN THIS MOMENT

And I'm like

An image of the soul nebula which resembles an unborn child. Skywatcher Esprit 100 ED, ASI2600 MM, Altair 3nm Ha filter.

The Soul Nebula in Ha. This is 30 mins in Ha from the only clear spell since my mono set up arrived. The signal is so much stronger than with my one shot colour camera.
I guess 30 mins in mono is equivalent 120 mins with OSC
Can't wait to get the Sii and Oiii.
