The Kzinti! Thinking of that writer who spent years working on the 90s Trek shows pitching a Kzinti episode & had been told he might've gotten his chance in season five of Ent....

Yeah!!! When I learned that guy wanted to do a kzinti arc in enterprise if it had continued I got bummed bc I Want That

Ads can be a source of such great entertainment sometimes 😊

The exception is cheesy local commercials. Those should be the only ads. I will listen to someone who runs a store in my city doing an awkward rap. We once had a furniture store with these awful CGI ads and the slogan "where the deals are so low, it's almost criminal!" and then they got shut down, by the cops, because it turned out. It turned out the deals were so low because. You're not going to believe this but the prices were so low it was in fact

There was a crossover comic between Matt Smith's Doctor and TNG, featuring the Borg and Cybermen that came out, if that's what you're thinking of? It was called Assimilation Squared. A second crossover after that was cancelled though

OHHHHHHH yes that was definitely it, i remember the borg being there. thank you!

From the Eaglemoss Official Starships Collection Magazine USS Discovery special issue, the original Bryan Fuller plan for the USS Discovery to be disguised as a Klingon battlecruiser.

@bellerophonm @lizardsfromspace my understanding is that season 1 would have been about the alternate universe and Klingon war, but the jump out of the alternate universe wouldn't have been 9 months as we saw, but to the 24th century. Discovery would have been rescued by another Starfleet ship and season 2 would have followed their adventures. It would be a season-by-season anthology show with new crews and ships each time.

I try to remember this when I see these things on the road. Odds are whoever is driving it bought it before, well, lots of things, and is now stuck with a dangerous vehicle that advertises that they're a huge bigot. Unless it's a cybertruck. Those guys are guaranteed pieces of shit.

Tesla is tanking so hard it is dragging the entire EV segment's sales down into the negative. When you omit Tesla from the equation, EV sales are up 13% across the board.

Don't let anyone tell you EV sales are in a slump.

Hello, do you mind if I record an audio version of your "fanfic" for the chronomaster42 post by lizardsfromspace? I've just asked for her permission to record the main section (no response yet, I only asked like 20 seconds ago) but I liked your addition a lot and wanted to record it as well, if you're ok with that. I would credit you and I'm not selling this, I would just post it to tumblr. No worries if you would rather I didn't, though.

Thank you!

Yes, that’s fine! Just send me it once you’re done. I look forward to hearing it!

Is there a term for when a pun sticks around in the public eye much longer than the thing it was punning on (or once that thing has ceased to exist altogether), and it becomes a pun without a clear referent? If there isn’t, maybe it could be called a “fossil pun”, like a “fossil word”, or a “relic pun”?

(It’s definitely a subset of the TV Trope The Weird Al Effect, but I mean a word for the pun word/name itself.)

The specific example that made me think about this was reading about the Peconic Bay Sailing Association having a race around Shelter Island called the “Whitebread Round the Whirl Race”. When it started in 1993, it was a very clear pun on the famous Whitbread Round the World Race. In 2001, the Whitbread became the Volvo Ocean Race and today it’s just The Ocean Race— but the PBSA still has their Whitebread Race under the same name as before. So it seems to me to be a fossil pun, like a fossilized footprint left behind by an extinct creature whose descendants have evolved into something else.

I think “fossil pun” would describe most of the puns in Alice in Wonderland that need annotations to be understood today (like the Mock Turtle being a reference to mock turtle soup being a popular dish in Carroll’s time.)

(This might be something @lizardsfromspace might be interested in.)

Petition to sit down all the people who make coma theories about Adventure Time and tell them “listen, this fucking show is about the last human living in a post-apocalyptic world where deadly magic has been reawakened following a global thermonuclear war that wiped out the rest of the human species, how much fucking darker do you want it to be”

What the fuck.

New fear unlocked, I guess.

This thread from @lizardsfromspace makes me want to write about a secret society of witches that has spent centuries rescuing falsely accused people from witch-burning and secretly curing as many people's illnesses as possible. The trick is that there are a limited number of witches, so they can only do so much. However, some of the people that they rescue join them in doing a ton of administration and research, like that one guy came around to in The Old Guard.

I remember how angry so many of us were at the epilogue of You Know Who's wizard series when the last book came out. Up until that point, I (was in denial) believed that the main characters were actually going to fight against all of the injustices that the books kept racking up. Or at least we imagined that the characters might care to. With the epilogue, it felt like that route was closed off—we could no longer project onto the text our fantasy that the wizarding world needed to change, and that it would.

But we can write our own stories.

Why do ace exclusionists think proving one person said a slur once proves asexuality false, like the founder of AVEN is Sauron & defeating him makes his army of asexual orcs vanish into dust

a deflection tactic, is my best guess?  like, as long as they can get you to engage with their points instead of their premise (which is dumb and should be pissed on whenever possible), they can prove there are SOME holes in your argument and that YOU’RE at least somewhat unreasonable (which is probably why I, a dumbass, was targeted huehue), and then there’s doubt that inclusionism is indeed the right answer

I honestly shouldn’t have even bothered, they were probably trying to wear me down and make me look like an angry asexy bootlicker (wow, oh yeah, beware the oppressive ace regime, they’re the real enemy right).  I mean, I think I did pretty well but jhskjdhcfdc you know
