It’s weird…..at home I refuse to sleep in my dog bed if anything is in it…..

Only 2 more nights and bossies will pick me up!
But I’m not complaining, this is the best hotel!

Turning increasingly windy tonight and into Wednesday morning across southwest England

The strongest winds are likely around exposed coasts and high ground, with peak gusts of 50-60 mph in a few places and locally higher in the vicinity of Dartmoor

Production Designer Jonathan Lee explained that some of STRANGE NEW WORLDS' Enterprise interiors were designed imagining what the original Enterprise may have looked like beneath its more modest set design: "Our corridors look very different from TOS. That’s where we began to get our ethos of our new ship. Something I wanted to do from the very beginning was expose the structure of the ship and where possible expose the technology. In the sixties, they had a lot of blank grey walls and it reminded me of houses in the fifties where you’d see Victorian houses with all the Victorian detailing covered up. So what would happen if you took off those grey walls in TOS?"

Oh by the way: it’s real and it’s SPECTACULAR.

Duh, no. It’s a wind instrument.

Good morning, everyone!
Tuesday mood…

I thought Jamie Oliver did all this 20 years ago..?

Put another way, I think the Jewishness of the army and the state is basically incidental. This is simply what happens when you have a racial supremacist state and a racial supremacist army and a racial supremacist law. The soldiers, regardless of the particulars, will act as if they are supreme.

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙

The French Revolution was not kind to The Aristocats…

I speak to a lot of people about JK Rowling - many once close friends with her. I was once friends with her. And they all say she is now very changed.

To pretend she is not radicalised, to give succour to her views on trans people, is an astonishing thing for Kezia, as Chair of Stonewall, to do.

I'm pretty sure Kezia comes from a well-intentioned place. And I'm all for good faith engagement with people whose minds have been poisoned against trans people. But this is madness: JK Rowling is a toxic sewer of hate, aligned with fascists, and it's unforgivable for Stonewall to praise her.

Asked about JK Rowling’s opposition to trans rights, Dugdale said: “I have a huge respect for JK Rowling. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her before and I think her story and how she came to be this prolific, incredible children’s writer in this city as a single mum writing in a cafe is phenomenal and an inspiration to so many women across the world. “I think she’s been a really powerful political advocate [for] improving the lot of single mums, making a case for tackling poverty and inequality in all its forms, and there is absolutely a place for her in public life to share her experiences and tell her story and make a difference.”

So my role at my job is an inspector, I look at CCA's (circuit card assembly) under a scope all day for this kind of damage, and flag it if I find it, to either be scrapped or repaired. I'm not involved at the repair level, so this was fun to watch for me.

Lower front view of the Enterprise D in space. The Great Gonzo appears to have been shot out from the ship like a class 1 probe. He looks like he's having the time of his life, and also has a flame trail propelling him.

This is the best video you’ll see today.

In an aquarium in South Korea the otters help cleaning their pool by gathering their toys and get rewarded with ice cubes. 🥰

A scene from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "A Matter of Honor" shows Will Riker sitting in Ten Forward at a table that is crammed full of various Klingon foods and delicacies. He's got his mouth open wide as he brings his fork up for another bite. Dr. Pulaski sits beside him, watching in disgust. Just behind and to the left of her stands "Weird Al" Yankovic, looking at the scene encouragingly as he wears his red Michael Jackson jacket.

‘I feel like I’m losing her’: the families torn apart by older relatives going far right It starts with a ‘back in my day’ nostalgic meme – then suddenly your elders are sharing AI-generated ‘boomerslop’ and repeating conspiracy theories …

Fascinating.
