    Star Trek General Discussion

    ...and then Michael Jan Friedman, in the "My Brother's Keeper" trilogy detailing James Kirk and Gary Mitchell's friendship, claimed that the middle initial referenced an in-joke between the two ("You're so stubborn that your middle name should be Rhinoceros."). Paramount really should institute...

    Transformers: Age of the Primes toyline discussion || update: stock renders of upcoming Alpha Trion, Micronus, Flatline, Fireflight, Skydive, ++

    Partially, yeah. There was also the Babylon 5 time travel angle of "He is from the future and knows that history fits together like a jigsaw puzzle", so Shockwave basically tells Alpha Trion to write it all down as he remembers history being told. Including "prophecies" about Starscream becoming...

    Florida, Florida, Florida

    Well, much as I can't actually recommend that anyone visit the state (for increasing numbers of reasons), I couldn't help but conceive of the following semi-topical demotivational poster. Considering how well past satire all this is, who knows? Maybe someone will use it as a tourist draw...

    Not in anything official, but the "Tales from the Intermezzo" fanfictions had a story where Skyjack survives to the distant future, and uses a transwarp bomb to end an argument between two Advanced Future Posthumans.

    The Cheesecake Bakery

    I think that's certainly part of the discourse, given that the whole "Sydney Sweeney's jeans/genes" wordplay flap was already a major English-speaking Internet topic at the time that Saori went viral. That being said, I think that the image just seemed to gather attention all on its own as...

    "...and then DEMAND TO SEE LIFE'S MANAGER! MAKE LIFE RUE THE DAY IT THOUGHT IT COULD GIVE CAVE JOHNSON LEMONS!!"

    The Cheesecake Bakery

    Quite the opposite. Basically the reaction (at least from North American Nihonophiles) was "our culture tells us that we should fall all over the blonde actress who sells soap infused with her bathwater and made a clothing ad with possible eugenicist overtones...but we think that the salarywoman...

    For context: An ex-idol named Saori Araki turned the Internet upside down this summer by posting this image: Weebs melted, everyone else started talking about comparative beauty standards across cultures, and now she's an online phenomenon. Possibly the last good thing to come out of Xitter....

    Transformers: The Basics

    "All of this has happened before...." "History rhymes." Or, having invoked two longer-lived science fiction franchises, allow me to say in my own words that we don't get a 40-years-plus storytelling multiverse without revisiting a few ideas now and again.😉 That being said, there's a certain...

    On Getting Out of Survival Mode: Musings, Plans, and Questions on 21st-Century North American Life

    I do remember seeing, imported from France (where canning was invented to preserve the rations of Napoleon's armies, if I remember the Connections series rightly), tinned soft cheeses that were shelf-stable until opened. I think that only the smallest varieties are still imported to my local...

    Perhaps it's the time I spent in and around academia, but I tend to think of September as more of a year-start than January. Anyway, in the spirit of preparing for whatever awaits us next, here is a video of a rather thorough barbering session. The YouTube channel showing it off had...

    Slag, if I remember the sequence correctly. Though Snarl would be just that much funnier. ;)

    On Getting Out of Survival Mode: Musings, Plans, and Questions on 21st-Century North American Life

    Being a Star Wars Sad Bastard, I have some experience grappling with the first two, of course. The third, well... (And being a fannish male in a very demographically lopsided fandom likely didn't help matters much. One reason why I sometimes want to smack the volcels whinging that having girls...

    Cue the whole "You can't hear a photograph... or can you?" meme.... (Found on the Slacktivist board.)

    Who's trying to break the internet today?

    Well, not than any developed country can be smug about what its populace does or doesn't know about technology these days, but I do recall -- one of the benefits of having a fixed idea, I guess -- that there was a bit of a panic in the UK over DDLC back when it first came out, not only for the...
