Thirsty Star Trek The Original Series scene. Ol' pointy ear Spock is "piloting a shuttlecraft" if you know what I mean. He's looking up and concentrating hard. Closed caption reads, "The area of penetration will no doubt be sensitive."

Close-up of a squat rack in a gym, featuring a Technogym spotter bar wedged diagonally across the uprights, clearly stuck and refusing to cooperate.
Some idiot had wedged one of the spotter bars diagonally and I wasnβt strong enough to free it π
Mirror selfie in a gym: a bearded man in a backwards cap and sleeveless top holds an orange phone in front of weight machines. His legs are embarrassingly pumped for someone who supposedly trained βupper body todayβ, while his arms lookβ¦ appropriately honest. Other gym-goers carry on in the background as he quietly questions his programming.
βtis Monday

We spent two decades pushing STEM over everything else, but right now I'm kind of wishing there were fewer tech bros and more people who had read King Lear and studied the failures of 1930s appeasement.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. Nog is pictured up close and in Starfleet uniform in Quark's bar. He's a Ferengi, and has giant ear lobes significantly bigger than a humans and the top curve of the ear extends and connects across like a unibrow. Also from the front, his bald head is kind of shaped like a beluga whale. He's explaining something here with enthusiasm. Closed caption reads, "It's the force that binds the universe together."
May the fourth be with you
Is it finally Friday?
Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're on the bridge at the navigation console bank down and in front of the Captain's chair. There's a guy sitting in uniform working and he's sweaty! Standing over him and leaning down way too close and uncomfortably within sweaty guy's bubble is Sulu. Sulu, who looks pretty excited about something and also v sweaty here, is looking at the guy while the guy is looking at the view screen. Closed caption reads, "Hey, why don't you come down to the gym with me"
A scene from the life of an early career researcher; or, a covering letter.
A screenshot of Google AI about Uranus with a picture of Neptune instead of Uranus
Sure, Google's data centers consume tens of billions of litres of water yearly and emit more carbon dioxide than many nations, but on the other hand, you can look up Uranus and AI will show you a picture of Neptune.
Never in the history of humanity, have we reached such speeds in making mistakes

Star Trek Voyager scene. I think we're in the ready room and we're looking at Janeway in uniform and she's a little bit irritated. Closed caption reads, "This was supposed to be a 20-minure presentation."
