Scene with Jadzia and The Klingon Kor from Deep Space 9:

Kor: Curzon, my beloved old friend.
Jadzia: I'm Jadzia now.
Kor: Jadzia, my beloved old friend.

---=---

This is Pride Month, never forget that Klingons had trans rights.

No hostility, no confusion, no clumsy excuse filled justification, just a quick self-correction and the exact same amount of love and respect before and after.

Cis allies: be like Kor.

TIL a woman named Susan Bennett spent four hours a day, every day, in July 2005, recording nonsensical phrases and sentences without knowing why. She didn't know until 2011, after a friend who had purchased the newly released iPhone 4s emailed her, that she was the voice of Apple's Siri assistant.

Germany‘s got the best US bases in the world. Beautiful bases. Tremendous. Nobody has anything like it. And, frankly, we’re giving them to the US for free. Can you imagine that? For free! It’s nasty what they’re doing to us, really. So we want a better deal. The US‘s gotta pay. They gotta pay. 🫲🫱

We see Mr. Spok from "Star Trek" at his screen, he is sitting on his turnable office chair. Holding on to his buttons still, he is turning around, presumably to speak to the captain. The caption quotes him "We are receiving posts from decentralised social media... apparently, some part of the civilization survived."
On the screen is a very small QR-code.

I've seldom seen a meme capture an entire ideology this well. Kudos.

An instance of the white woman reconsidering meme. Text on top reads: "Libertarians be like:". The woman is disgusted by "tyranny.gov" but intrigued by "tyranny.com"

TIL there's almost twice as many January-born professional football (soccer) players as there are December-born players. And in the U17's European championships squads there's over four times as many players born between January and March as between October and December.

Code generation tools fix the problem of software development being slow and expensive in much the same way that faster cars fix traffic congestion.

Tochter übt gerade unten Bella Ciao auf der Gitarre und ich fragte sie wie sie dazu kommt das zu spielen:

„Haben das gestern im Musikunterricht gelernt und Frau X sagte wir sollen es so oft und so laut es geht üben.“

Frau X ist erzkatholische Organistin in unserer Kirche und Musiklehrerin und wie ich jetzt weiß, auch eine erfrischend subversive Antifaschistin.

When Mark Zuckerberg was trying to sell us on Meta verse I kept loudly wondering why he didn't get anyone to write him a compelling argument for why people would want it.

While the "AI" folks give a bunch of examples (mostly saying "you can have cheap machine servants like rich people do") it feels very much the same. The stories are so uncompelling, so ... inhumane?

"You never have to talk to a human" - yeah but that is what makes us human? Like being social?

"You can just generate artworks and stuff" - cool so I can never feel pride about doing something, expressing myself ever again? Great.
