In a world where listening to colliding black holes is more real than flying humans to the Moon

Watching (partially fast forwarding) #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy - I have thoughts:
Everything floats, everything morphs, nothing has weight or consequence. Voyager's first landing was awe-inspiring. In Starfleet Academy your only though is: "why is the impulse engine still on?"

The CMB radiation temperature is -270.4 Β°C. (That's how cold the universe is.) Did the Khionians lie when they said they'd survive -271Β°C? At least their vocal cords can vibrate in vacuum...

The show is designed for a "second screen". Everything is spelled out, narrated by the computer, and explained by the characters just so you can scroll TikTok without missing anything.

The glasses bother me way less than expected. Holly Hunter does a great job with the Captain Nahla Ake character. Same is true for Karim DianΓ© (the Klingon cadet Jay-Den Kraag) actually.

Easter eggs should reward attention, not derail the scene. In Starfleet Academy they're so obvious and out of place they kill immersion for a cheap laugh.

In a future where we have programmable matter and holograms everywhere, blending physical setswith CGI is a massive challange. Starfleet Academy falls short. Holy misaligned panel gap batman!

All I was trying to find out is: what alternative car do you think people SHOULD buy. I'm not trying to stop you. I'm trying to find a better alternative.

And that is true for both, ICE vehicles (internal combustion engine) and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). I do not think that boycotting Tesla is doing anything to stop either from hurting more people unfortunately.

And you don't fight fascism by taking out Tesla... You help the oil and gas industry. You help legacy car manufacturers to roll back EV efforts. Taking out Tesla would be one of the worst things you could do for the environment. And I don't think it would put a dent in fascist tendencies... :(

But it's so much more complicated. Teslas are one of the few cars that can actually make a positive difference. I do understand your point. I think it comes from a very good place in your heart. But a friend just bought a gasoline car because Elon is a racist and I don't think that's helpful either.

But what if all alternatives are even worse? Won't that make the world an even more horrible place? Isn't that something you need to consider in a boycott?
Boycotting all cars? Yes. But that's not what you are achieving or even trying to achieve. You are singling out one brand.

You still haven't answered my question tho. What product SHOULD people buy?

21.09.2025 18:23 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

But what are you for then? The car isn't fascist. The employees aren't racist. The CEO is. But most of Elon's wealth is in SpaceX. Fighting against affordable electric cars isn't great if you can't point people towards an alternative product. So my question stands: what are you for?

Can't tell if that's supposed to be satire or not. πŸ™ƒ Anyways: don't yell people what to be against. Tell them what to be for. What car should they buy to help fight climate change? Rivian and Lucid aren't affordable yet. EVs from other brands support companies that mainly sell ICE vehicles. πŸ₯΄

Amazing achievement. 🀯 The booster lost an engine. The ship's butt exploded. Yet both had a soft splashdown right on target. 🀩

@neuroverse-tni.bsky.social Hey :) great panel at ST:ORL! Do you think you would be able to share the NASA funding cut slides? That was a very impactful way to present this!

Support the LISA Mission – Save NASA Science Funding Contact your members of Congress and urge them to restore funding for NASA’s next flagship astrophysics mission: the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA).

The proposed NASA budget cuts threaten the U.S. contribution to the most amazing space telescope of our generation: 3 satellites shooting lasers at each other to detect supermassive #BlackHoles at the edge of the observable universe to revolutionize our understanding of the cosmos.

Today, after hours of work, the @spacetomato.bsky.social Garden Interstellar Initiative was able to initiate the laser firing protocol!! 🀯 What a sight. No more need for Star Wars: we have a space lasers at home now!

They did edit their FAQ wording, blades will be purchasable in game this summer. That's not good enough, but at least they are talking at headquarters. 🫠 My main worry is not necessary selling early access, but selling ship improvements for money at all. I thought that's what crafting was for.

But it wasn't Sinners. And it took away my opportunity to watch Sinners in 70mm. Disney pushed Sinners out of all IMAXs. 😭 ... yes, it's coming back on the 15th, but all twenty or so 70mm shows in my area are already fully sold out. And I blame this good-ish Marvel movie for it. ;)

Universal Studios Hollywood #FanFestNights had two #StarTrek #TNG chairs on display. The original screen-used recreation from "Picard", and the newly upholstered 27-year-old "Star Trek: The Experience" chair, from the Hilton in Las Vegas! @gaghyogi49.bsky.social
