#Trekkies — can y'all help me find someone that speaks fluent Klingon? I've an idea for a craft I want to make for Pride Month, but my Klingon is woefully lacking. 🖖 TIA!

we all know I have no life, so:

I signed up for the same thing (also couldn't find the offer anywhere else online) and yes, I think C4's own shows (eg Taskmaster) are shown entirely ad-free but imports (eg The Tudors) has 30-second breaks for other C4 shows, although in my experience sometimes it would give you none, sometimes 3

Goiânia accident - Wikipedia

It was inspired by a real news story so that could feasibly have been retold in other places too en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goi%C3%...

Do you remember one of the people being a robot? Because this is exactly the plot of a Star Trek TNG episode (Thine Own Self in season 7) — Data loses his memory while carrying radioactive material, uncontacted locals make jewellery from it

In From Russia With Love, Bond visits Turkey and eats a “delicious and exotic” breakfast of yoghurt, figs and freshly ground coffee.

If Daniel Craigʼs 007 had done this, he a) could have gone to any cafe in London for it; b) been called woke for not having a fry-up

I apologise for finding this only on a site called lyrics dot lol, but this is an extract from Simon Armitageʼs 1000-word poem Killing Time and it stopped me dead in my tracks when I first came across it in an anthology.

Besides the aesthetics being far better, why do people pine for media without spending $6.99 per month- er, $9.99 per month- wait, $11.99 per month- hold up, $14.99 per month-

I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”

3 things they must do in the Mandalorian movie:

Finally name Yoda’s species but it’s just “goblins”

Have Yoda show up but no one can remember his name so they just call him “Old Grogu” & then also credit him as that in the cast

Have 2 stars go to war (despite series name, has not yet happened)

Ah, sorry I couldn't be of more help. Battery compartment has a bit of corrosion anyway so probably for the best to look elsewhere

This isn't really a public message but if you need alt text it's a grey Philips 390 Pocket Memo dictaphone, the sort of thing you imagine Michael Douglas would smarmily talk into in the opening scene of an 80s thriller. Beside it is a tiny cassette tape that's only slightly taller than a 50p, upon which is the profile of the late queen

I've got this gathering dust in a desk drawer if it's the right kind? 50p for scale

Frank Drebin Jr is born in The Naked Gun 33⅓ (1994) but Liam Neeson isnʼt even trying to play a 31-year-old in The Naked Gun (2025)

not many people know this, but Barilla has a line of 3D printed pasta it sells mostly to the fine dining industry. I don't want the pasta. I want the pasta printer

Thanks for posting this before I put something unthinking and hateful into the world. You are the "Craig Ferguson monologuing about Britney Spears" of Bluesky

I don't live that close to one so I often save up films and then spend a day bingeing on the big screen, the real problem is figuring out the timings (also it's way more tiring than you would think)

the evil emperor cozying up to the pope’s idiot brother is so fucking renaissance, man. it’s so funny. the emperor is forming an alliance against the papal states and there is war in the holy land. there are rumors of plague.

From Russia With Love by Ian Fleming - the title is set at the bottom of the cover in something like Garamon on a silver background. A white strip above indicates it is in the Penguin Modern Classics range. The other 80% of the cover is one black-and-white photograph of Sean Connery in a suit looking bored and holding a pistol with a long barrel to frame his face.

I think this might be the most boring book cover on my shelves. Even if you want to stick to the format of “one photograph” for some Penguin Modern Classics house style, there are better options even among James Bond stills.

“There's a rhythmic ceremonial ritual coming up.” (Back to the Future)

Doc Brown may be weird, antisocial and out of touch, but come on, he knows what a dance is and he'd call it a dance

Ridiculous but I'm so glad someone out there is being so niche. As a teenager I felt sorry for the Doctor Who team never getting to use the same opening titles year after year, but clearly they were underworked compared to Robin Hood!

I found out the answer to this and it's because it dates back to the Japanese mobile phone carriers. The Japanese phones had both camels because double humpers are native to East Asia and a popular art motif and tourism attraction 🐫🎋, while 1-humpies represent the exotic Middle East desert 🐪🌴

Fun fact! There's a whole community dedicated to jailbreaking and modding kindles. You don't need to settle for this.

Pilgrim I literally never read a prologue on principle alone. If it's that important, it should be in the book.

Doyle789 I agree completely. The epilogues and prologues aren't part of the story. If they were important they would be part of the story. People write forwards for books, that's just another person writing about what they thought about the book or author... I assume that's what author is doing in the prologue and epilogues

Erin I agree. I feel like it's stuff that wasn't good enough to be in the book 20h Reply 100

dude epilogues and prolouges to me are equivalent to dvd bonus features and are therefore skippable unless you're really into it 8h Reply • 255

I do not take booktok seriously and I never will. What the fuck you mean the epilogue and prologue “aren’t part of the book/story”???????

you, a fool: it's impossible to qualify who has the "best" life, due to the immense complexity of--
me, grabbing the mic: the bear from the bear baiting scene on Game of Thrones demanded frying pans full of whipped cream between every take, and everyone had to applaud him while he ate

That's why I, a less than serious person, got all my Letterboxd reviews printed as a book

Figure out what is very important to you, what you would hate to lose access to, and make sure you a physical backup is my advice. Use this horror as inspiration!

Screenshot from Legal Advice UK subreddit: "My son pleasured himself in front of Gemini Live with the camera. My entire family have had our Google accounts banned. Scotland He's 14 and stupidly decided to try and roleplay with Gemini using its live camera mode. The AI correctly identified he was underage and Google banned all my accounts. He did it on the family tablet. It has parental controls to stop him watching innapropriate stuff, but we dind't realise Gemini wasn't covered by these. ALL of our entire family's Google accounts were linked to that tablet. Google banned them all. Everything gone. 15 years of business completely inaccessible. All my emails, all my documents saved in Google Drive. Even my website was linked to my Google account and that's been locked down too. We've written to Google and begged for it to be reinstated but they've said all the accounts have been shut down for child protection reasons. I don't know how I'm going to pay my mortgage in 3 months time. I've literally lost ALL my records for my accountant. My company year ends in May. My whole life is completely fucked. Is there any legal mechanism I can use to get all my google accounts back?"
