My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Just me, sitting at my desk, staring off into space as I try to come up with a catchy little statement that will help people realize there’s an alternative to Audible that shares profits with indie bookstores 🙃

I love non-standard mimics... I think I have a few around here...

I am a huge disaster nerd (hi @nameshiv.bsky.social and @rahaeli.bsky.social) and my first obsession as a kid was the Titanic it really cannot be overstated how absolutely heroic the Carpathia was once they learned what had happened to the Titanic, this is worth your time

No matter where you shop, you're getting screwed by Amazon. Amazon has found a way to make everything you buy - at Target, at a mom-and-pop shop, even direct from the manufacturer - more expensive. And they're not the only one: Expedia's done the same thing, but for hotel rooms.

If you are concerned about democracy in Sachsen-Anhalt beyond just wanting to argue about it on the internet, you can donate to these fine people: polylux.network/de or www.fluechtlingsrat-lsa.de

The more combative Dems get, the more of this they will run into. It will be a coordinated wave of elite opinion, scolding them, tamping them down. The fight strategy *only* works if they are willing to bull their way through it, blow it off, mock it. (Their history does not raise one's hopes.)

A few weeks ago I was at RetronomiCon in Braunschweig (absolute recommendation, fantastic convention, very family-friendly) and bought these two glass drops that were made to look like Rimuru (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) from www.instagram.com/anime.art_by.liz Such an awesome idea! 💙💙

> It’s not just senior people who might have memories and a fondness for how things used to be – stress mixed with nostalgia. […] I’ve found several videos of students who announced that they had switched majors, had been studying user experience design, but now decided to switch to something else.

One autistic individual is reported to be living the dream, having opened a bookshop and then displayed a large sign in the window reading NO CUSTOMERS.

I have never seen an animal so perfectly express the emotion of "holy SHIT" more than that owl

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

Return to the Continent with improved visuals, performance, combat, progression, and the complete journey of Geralt of Rivia. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered is now available on GOG: https://bit.ly/3Vkur9w

Shout out to the various archivists and restoration peeps who follow me: Read the whole thread, but the TLDR is that this is the last recording of a lovely choir in their prime, and it would be nice for them to hear that again, before time has its way. As it does with us all.

Ich weiß nicht, was sich bei der Maskenaffäre von Jens Spahn beweisen lässt und was nicht. Aber mindestens das Fehlen von jeglichem Verantwortungsbewusstsein, Arbeitsmoral und ein hohes Maß an Inkompetenz lassen sich mittlerweile bei seiner Person kaum noch bezweifeln.

I lost a bookmark and cannot find it again. 😩 It was for a book about dungeon crawler video games and I was thinking about making it my Christmas wish. It was a pretty big and expensive book. It look more scientific and informative than entertaining.

Wait the Babylon 5 channel is uploading whole episodes? For free? (US only it seems) www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLba...

Movie recommendation for tonight, Kung Fu Hustle I'm always adamant that the best parodies have a love of what they're parodying, and nowhere is this more evident than Stephen Chow's glorious and manic send up of Kung Fu movies. It's impossible to not have fun watching this.

Happy Stanislav Petrov Day He passed in 2017. As Encyclopedia Britannica puts it, “He is survived by his two children, two grandchildren, and the entire human race.” If you don't know his story, please take 3 minutes now to learn it. @gchalliance.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social

For the last 15 years, I've worked on dozens of interpretive media projects and I've learned a few things along the way. If you have a site that would benefit from interpretive signage, why not join me online on October 13th to learn about best practices? It's free! 3common.com/event/6ab591...

Arv + Suikoden II is just awesome and I'm more than a little miffed that I don't have time to watch him right now. So please go and do so in my stead. Thank you! www.twitch.tv/arvaneleron

I've known this dude for 20 years. One of the first friends I made in Bristol, he taught me what it means to be an antifascist. If there's dinner, he's cooking, if there's a benefit gig, he's flyposting, and if there's fash, he's first in, last out. I have literally bled alongside this man.

Happy First Day of Fall to all my Northern Hemisphere friends (featuring a tiny little portrait of yours truly 💛) #kidlitart #watercolor #gouache #coloredpencil

If you're an artist looking for some tools. Here's a list of all the tools I created over the years that run in your browser. Play around with color palettes, create 3d mockups for reference, pose figure for reference, create bushtip textures etc. artbuddy.urlich.ch

…yeah, okay, that’s pretty much it.

It’s D&D night and so much has gone on that I despair of recording it all for posterity. The big boss had Vicious Mockery on tap. I have insulted the party at inordinate length.

This is a WONDERFUL story. It brought tears to my eyes. 🥹
