Riker/Kat

Haven't seen the new Strange New Worlds ep yet but I do know it involves Kirk and the Farragut and I'm gonna be real disappointed if no hemoglobin-loving clouds make an appearance.

There Is Basically One Point to Space Exploration. Right Now, We’re Missing It. Efforts to scrub DEI from NASA's websites get it all wrong.

I wrote about NASA, its people and the mission to connect us.

Scientists -- I'm looking to talk to researchers about how all this uncertainty around paused grant reviews and a potentially massive freeze on federal funding is affecting you and your research plans. DM, email or reach out on signal.

photo of a cat, white with brown tabby markings over the ears, eyes, and top of head. He's falling asleep in a gray comforter, eyes almost closed, and a cat toy with a hanukkah menorah design lies beside his paw.

Four-panel "set the bar too low" meme featuring Andy Samberg and Zooey Deschanel from the tv series Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Panel 1: Andy leans in a car window and says, "I'm a Deep Space Nine fan." Panel 2: Zooey behind the wheel says, "Oh yeah? Name five characters." Panel 3: Andy says, "Weyoun". Panel 4: Zooey says, "That's on me, I set the bar too low."

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're orbiting a planet and the NCC 1701 Enterprise is in orbit. The planet is more brown rust than blue green. Is it an M-Class? Hard to say. Closed caption reads, "SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO ME."

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're in "personal quarters" ifyouknowwhatimean and Worf is sitting on a bed, in uniform. Troi is behind him, hands on his shoulders, with her face in close to his neck, like she's giving him a lil' kissy-wissy. But see, what's funny is that Worf here looks kind of horrified or shocked by all this and so at a glance you might think she's biting him like a vampire. Ok end scene.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. Two pics but just one person talking. It's a fella who looks a lot like a Odo oddly enough but like Odo if he wasn't all smooth and wearing 4 shades of tan. Here, he's dressed in all blue, like a future space Canadian tuxedo. He's sitting in picture one with sort of an exaggerated/forced smile, and the caption reads, "Man: I'm fine." In picture two his face is no longer smiling, it's now more of a flat affect. Caption is "No, I'm not."

Post-tattoo recovery grub

(Which isn't to say I don't take care of my ink - I put lotion on them after every shower at minimum and sunscreen before any sun exposure - but I like to get old pieces looking extra nice when I'm gonna see the artist who gave me them)

This all feels like that scene in Revenge of the Sith where the Palpatine gets emergency powers, and everyone cheers meanwhile Padmé is standing there all dumbfounded like how can anyone NOT see what the fuck is going on.

Just a little guy
