Controversial! I would certainly say I prefer Voyager but... 😂

Bugs!

I used to work with @gracedent.bsky.social and she's a total legend. Could not have been a better outcome here.

She's fierce and fabulous and also open to discussing ideas with editors which is - LET ME TELL YOU - not always par for the course.

LOVE THIS

There is a metaphor here somewhere

love it when you have a few days of sleeping badly because you drank too much and didn't exercise enough so after that you decide to be serious and drink less and go do some exercise and go to bed expecting to sleep well but at 3am your brain still goes

Phone trees or calling trees.

For those curious about the early development process of a serialized TV series...

After initial brainstorming , our writers' room often creates a season grid of 'mini-arcs' to track the development of each character.

Here's an early season grid for the Netflix series, WIZARDS: TALES OF ARCADIA.

Can't beat a good nebula!

This fucking guy

I’m old enough to remember when AskJeeves and Altavista were suddenly abandoned in the space of weeks or days, ditto MySpace, it can happen

don't know if it's properly escaped British containment yet but I really need the whole world to know that Rivals is maybe the single most entertaining TV show made this year, I promise you that even if you think "horny Brits who work in TV in the 80's" isn't your thing: it will be your thing

I thought this was a good idea but then remembered I do not have a dog and therefore - I am nothing 😭😂

Voyager scene. Black and white picture, with a feel of a sci-fi series from the 50s. Two dastardly looking men stand in silver? (It's black and white so hard to say) metallic uniform/costumes. One has an evil goatee and the other has a pointy evil metal head dress/helmet. They're standing on a throne of some sort, with long ornate curtains that seem to run from floor to ceiling behind them. Everything feels exaggerated and villainous. Closed caption reads, "Gather my space force."

First moment of missing the other place as there is a car crash of an interview on the BBC R4 Today program and I can't tag them in my frustrated vent.

Good sheep - an absolute unit.

I did this before eventually deleting my account and the other app off my phone. It definitely helped with default behaviour 😊

All - Bluesky Directory A curated collection of all things relating to the Blue Sky social media platform.

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.

So I built it:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.

Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

Or move the official White House account(s) over here and delete it from Twitter?

Conclave… they made a movie for messy gay cultural Catholics who live in other people’s business… so this is what representation feels like

And if you'd been a pre-teen girl when Voyager was shown in the UK you'd possibly have fallen into the same trap I did 😂

After months of work I have a series starting on BBC Radio 4 tomorrow. It's called The Moderators and it's all about the hidden world of content moderation. It's pick of the day in the Sunday Times, Observer and Radio Times among others.
I can't wait for you to hear it 💪🏼

Instead of “once upon a time,” Korean folk and fairy tales often begin with 호랑이 담배 피우던 시절에. It means “back when tigers smoked (pipes)”

I am not fickle in my affections 😂

Bright blue stars are in a cluster at the center of the image. They are surrounded by a shell of brownish and burnt orange dust and gas. The shell has ridges that reach towards the stars like teeth. A number of more distant galaxies also appear in the background.

A grouping of large, glowing, and purplish stars dominate the image’s center. Dark ridges of gas and dust are visible around them, with more background stars crowding the view.

Several bright-white, bluish, and orange stars shine with diffraction spikes, interspersed throughout dark dust. Particularly dark regions of gas and dust are seen near the lower left.

A dense cluster of bright stars. The core of the cluster is to the left and has a distinct group of blue stars. Surrounding the core are a multitude of stars in warmer colors. These stars are very numerous near the core and become more sparse, as well as more small and distant, out to the sides of the image. A few larger stars also stand in the foreground near the edges of the image.

star clusters are so beautiful ✨

Happy Monday! Whose turn is it to make the coffee?
