Star Trek Voyager scene. Seven of Nine (tertiary adjunct of unimatrix 01) is pictured. She has a dolphin shaped metal robotic implant around her left eye because she is a borgs. Closed caption reads, "Fun will now commence."
It's the weekend, baby
We're not including Jamie Oliver in this are we?
2026.
One day I will stop doing that.
The weirdest part about watching the Expanse in 2025 is the concept that James Holden could start an interplanetary war by saying some shit on the space internet.

The Earth Federation: Behold the Andromeda, it has two wave motion guns and it is the first of an entire Andromeda-class of wave motion powered battleships.
I apologize for nothing.
This post has a an audience of like 3 people.
Today's very important kanji
波動 wave motion
Which naturally gives way to 波動砲 wave motion artillery/cannon
Which is, naturally, the only way I'll be able to remember 発車 to depart.
Every year my eye twitches as I have to spend this particular week hearing people say, "Well it's good for the farmers."
It was never about the farmers and the ghost of Kaiser Wilhelm is laughing at you.
I may have just stumbled on the chord progression for the theme song from Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure.
Which is A) likely to have evoked a curse on my house B) pretty wild since I overcame 31 years of failed music theory 2 weeks ago such that I actually understand what a chord progression is now.
You've sinned against math and cards here. Well done.
Pitched a magazine that requires a physical query letter, so I wrote a letter and printed it and put it in the mailbox like some kind of historical reenactor.
Holy hell. I want to do a build of the Flugel version.
I should also really get around to reading more of that manga.
I have the Master Grade Tallgeese on my desk! Such a satisfying build.
I have watched Netflix's War Machine.
I find its arc to be dubious and its coda to be laughable.
Belkans are to blame for my not being able to be there.
Fuck this looked like a good show. Would have loved to have been there.

I haven't thought about Crimson Skies in forever, but it sure does seem to be coming up a lot this week.

Tigh: Fisk called. Highguard is over. They are going to shut everything down.
Adama: Over? When was it out?
Reading the paper and seeing 核の問題 and thinking, "I sure hope this isn't what I think it is."
It was.
If you're a beginner learning Japanese I highly recommend you don't try to study by translating a manga, novel, game, the news etc. 🧵

Holy shit, it's out?
Khajiit has wares.
There are moments when the example sentences on a grammar point feel like they are coming for me, personally.
皆に嫌われているのに、性格を変えようとしないの？
I remember toward the end of this game you were having to deal with kaiju attacks, alien invasions, and massive disasters.
A humanoid figure in black fully stands on the back of a white humanoid figure, who is struggling to stand.
Google image search never fails to deliver with the very clear definitions of Japanese words.
The word was 踏む
Anyhorse, I'm 44 years old and I just played every major scale tonight with both hands for the first time ever because 31 years ago someone was too lazy to teach the freebirths a key signature other than C major.
And now that I know that it's like other concepts are clicking into place. The idea of chord progressions up until 3 days ago just got me angry because what is progressing?
And when your whole musical universe is C major, yeah fair thing to be pissy about.
