i'm not trying to move mountains here i'm just trying to grasp the shape of something ephemeral, i gotta fucking grab it and force it to do what i want, this is akin to stealing gold from the river wives

I think a lot about how if DS9 was made during the streaming era we wouldn't have the baseball episode. "All killer no filler" is imo not great for TV storytelling. The baseball episode is technically filler, yet I love it with all my heart & so do many others.

The Animation Industry is in such bad shape, you guys. The amount of raw talent and power it is losing because it's not providing a sustainable living is a tragedy that future generations will study with grief.

If you're supporting artists right now: thank you.

How many scrunchies is too many?

A drawing of a white, pink and blue snake with its mouth open, with the words "WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE" drawn on its body. The background behind the snake is reflective and iridescent.

This is a great image to explain to people how AI actually has no idea what itโ€™s writing. Itโ€™s always just a simulation of things that make sense. Some words are almost correct, others are correct but listed twice. And as soon as the writing is at an angle, it canโ€™t figure the letters out anymore.

The only way to do both things is by raising the minimum wage dramatically

Oh I feel this. I was playing the SH2 remake and there was one puzzle I was stuck on, ended up doing complex numerology bullshit about.

No. No. You just had to look around the room. SIGH

Pet parrots were taught to do video calls, and it was a hit.

The birds not only made friends with each other, and selected who they wanted to call and when, but also picked up new skills from fellow parrots.
Good enrichment option for improving captive parrot welfare.

Go to the fucking doctor. You're injured.
And it's a lot easier to eat right if you start finding what you like that's healthy than waiting for a doc to get mad at you first.

This thread is HUGE but it's trying to survey 2000 years of Catholic doctrine and about 500 years of US religious colonialist history so what can you do.
But if you're curious about the undercurrents. Also seen in Francis's February letter to the US bishops, which was an even more pointed rebuke.

Visitor to deep space 9 to keiko: so... you seeing anyone?
Keiko: why yes! This is my husband Miles, Miles' boyfriend Julian, Julian's husband Garak, me and Miles' girlfriend Kira, Kira's boyfriend Odo, Odo's enemy-with-benefits Quark, Kira's datemate Jadzia, and Jadzia's husband Worf.
Visitor pointing at Sisko: and who's that?
All in unison: that's our dad

Brings back a memory of when I tried to invite a guy to sit down with me and a male friend on a couch that clearly had more than enough room for three people

"No thanks, I'll stand." [For the entire 1.5hr movie]

Dude kept eyeing the couch and finally sat down after I'd left to another room too ๐Ÿ™ƒ
