Sometimes, but only sometimes, it just feels too good to be old and an ‘80s teen when something like this shows up. You get those shivers of nostalgia and a gleaming pixel in the corner of your eye. What an astonishing piece of art and cheers for the 40 years of digital excellence!🕹️✨

Queen strikes me as the musical equivalent of Pavarotti singing "my dog and my truck" country music. I cheerfully acknowledge the talent involved, but the uses to which it's being put...

I wish #politicians would stop using #fightingWords. I wish they would stop #demonising their political opponents.
I am, of course, aiming this remark at the #Republican politicians. But then, are they deserving of the moniker "politicians", or are they merely "cultists"....

CW: Kontroversiel madmening
Udover at brunsviger er en kedelig kage er den ikke engang fynsk - eller dansk - men blot en lokal udgave af Zuckerkuchen fra Braunschweig.
Jeg mener, come one - den hedder ligefrem en 'Braunschweiger"!

@[email protected] OK as a Trekkie I'll bite... heheh... First of all: really fun fan trailer! Now on to the real battle: Star Trek VS Star Wars!
So unrealistic! Star Fleet's firepower utterly dwarfs the Empire's. The Empire uses lasers FFS... hardly a threat at all. Kirk could beam photon torpedos into star destroyers and destroy whole fleets simultaneously. Even phasers completely overpower anything the Empire can throw at the Enterprise.
The episode of Trek would be more like when they meet any other fleet only armed with lasers: it's not even Yellow Alert!
Without proper shielding, even the Death Star would be toast in seconds, not minutes, against the Enterprise. It's phasers would cut right through that shit like a cat's claws through toilet paper.
The Death Star is no Borg sphere. Now those commies got some good shielding and properly dangerous weapons. Plus transwarp tunneling.

A quotation from Lewis, Sinclair:
«
There are two insults which no human being will endure: The assertion that he hasn’t a sense of humor, and the doubly impertinent assertion that he has never known trouble.

A rare example of a subtoot predating the internet:
"I shall here take occasion to propose a second observation concerning our demonstrative reasonings, which is suggested by the same subject of the mathematics. ‘Tis usual with mathematicians, to pretend, that those ideas, which are their objects, are of so refin’d and spiritual a nature, that they fall not under the conception of the fancy, but must be comprehended by a pure and intellectual view, of which the superior faculties of the soul are alone capable. The same notion runs thro’ most parts of philosophy, and is principally made use of to explain our abstract ideas, and to shew how we can form an idea of a triangle, for instance, which shall neither be an isosceles nor scalenum, nor be confin’d to any particular length and proportion of sides. 'Tis easy to see, why philosophers are so fond of this notion of some spiritual and refin’d perceptions; since by that means they cover many of their absurdities, and may refuse to submit to the decisions of clear ideas, by appealing to such as are obscure and uncertain. But to destroy this artifice, we need but reflect on that principle so oft insisted on, that all our ideas are copy’d from our impressions. For from thence we may immediately conclude, that since all impressions are clear and precise, the ideas, which are copy’d from them, must be of the same nature, and can never, but from our fault, contain any thing so dark and intricate. An idea is by its very nature weaker and fainter than an impression; but being in every other respect the same, cannot imply any very great mystery. If its weakness render it obscure, 'tis our business to remedy that defect, as much as possible, by keeping the idea steady and precise; and till we have done so, 'tis in vain to pretend to reasoning and philosophy."

Y'all and your inverted T arrows. I miss the days when the arrows I used were clustered according to use instead of laid out like a game controller.
Yeah, I went there. #fightingWords
