The Ascent's Quark-Odo plot might be the most I've wanted Quark and Odo to fuck.

The long hair vibes are nice

I'm so checked out of today, I have another day of work before I get to take my little getaway and I'm so ready to not exist for a weekend.

We need a Badmiral name for all the weird RETVRN social scientist characters that pop up in Star Trek.

Ah, the "I'm going to show you my problem, but I need 5-10 minutes to recreate it" user

20 years ago today, I attended my...third midnight showing screening ever (I was 14!), and let me tell you, the best way to experience that Anakin/Obi-Wan fight for the first time was at 2:30 AM, strung out on energy drinks and an absolute mess.

You ever have a day where you’re so depressed your body decides it’s going to just embrace narcolepsy for a day?

"'Why do we keep intervening in conflicts on our border?' Gee, I don't know, why do you keep having to take a cat to the vet after you let it eat from an open garbage container?" - Ambassador Jonn Elledge. CHAPTER NINE OF THE EDGE OF MIDNIGHT: THE ARSENAL OF FREEDOM IS OUT NOW

Like, I'm pretty high on him. I think it's relatively reasonable. But Jesus that sticker shock.

Guy who believes that urban warfare is in fact a violation of the 3rd Amendment thus soldiers never should clear a building

I am changed. Wrestling is...good, actually???

It is so important to me that Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon is *bad* TV.

The problem with how good @chriskempshall.bsky.social 's Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire is, you want to pull a quote from it and end up just screenshotting a 2-page spread.

As a STAR TREK fan I honestly feel like the JJ factor is underrated. I know it's a very prominent theme of the discussion about why the sequels failed. It should be even more prominent than it is

Hearing "Kiss from a Rose" at work after that Dropout episode is causing a lot of weird looks from my coworker

The downside of getting to work at a very nice big company is that every 6-12 months, an asshole decides that a number didn't get big enough, and so scores of people need to lose their jobs. I'm polishing off that bottle of wine when I get home.

Feeling the urge to go back to the Bad Me (joining a short mini-campaign so I can have a character to drive like I stole)

Average Starfleet Officer Who Sucks (TV): Badmiral Average Starfleet Officer Who Sucks (EoM): The Worst Polycule You've Ever Heard Of.

Your honor, they’re the same character.

the reactionary elements were always present inside California-style woo but are now at the forefront of the movement

my lasting memory of Derek Carr will always be this moment from @jonbois.bsky.social and @secretbase.bsky.social’s excellent Falcons series

Man, I'm just ready for this week to be over. It's been not very good, and to top it all of allergies have been kicking my ass and making me sleep like 10 hours a night.

Me: Hey, we fulfilled your order for this event's equipment, you can pick it up at the location you requested? User: Hey, I actually need this delivered to the event's location, and the event starts before you open? Can you deliver this *in a different city* before you're even at work?

I learned today that the new Mechwarrior Clans game is adding a DLC that has Elemental (enhanced infantry) units which "Oh, great, another thing for people to get insanely horny over "

Hope we get a funny Pope name. None of this John/Francis bullshit. Give me an Innocent or Urban.

Some of the best Warhammer players in the world are boycotting a championship in the U.S. over our embrace of fascism. One Belgian player cited specifically legal actions against trans people as one reason he will not participate. Nice to see.

Things about Babylon 5 and my life as a whole that are pretty good, in an order I am not free to disclose: 1. That time when Londo explains to Lenier about Centauri tentacle penises and reveals he's had an idol of a naked trans Goddess of Passion in his quarters this whole time 2. Everything else

Investigative games, full stop.

Happy belated May Day! Inspired by @reforest-kelley.bsky.social #startrek #ds9

Real heads know about Winter, Leia's adoptive sister and aide-de-camp, who spent the war as an infiltrator with the Quartermaster Corps, using her holographic memory to pinpoint advance intelligence for material raids.

It’s time for Warriors playoff basketball

Oh hey, baseball. It’s really hard to beat SF for Prettiest View in a ballpark considering you have the actual Bay
