Okay can someone explain to me why photos of a new cast announcement for Starfleet Academy are attached to things like 'Greatest lieutenant of all time'?
What's the joke?

Is @antstreamarcade.bsky.social lifetime now available for people who use @xbox.com Game Pass Ultimate? I bought a one year membership a couple of years ago but I now appear to have a lifetime membership. Any ideas?

SO many anomalies. 🤣 Thanks for having me on the show! It’s always fun to talk “weird shit” early Voyager.
New episode!
Geoff invites @ohtheprofanity.com back to the Delta Quadrant for a look at Star Trek: Voyager's season 1 weirdness, and their obsession with anomalies!

Playing back scenes from TNG ahead of an episode of @jeanlucpodard.bsky.social with @shelfnerds.bsky.social and saw this moment in 'Best of Both Worlds' and was struck by how odd the camera angle was. In the previous shot, Data was stood there too but I'm surprised they didn't pan down.

Six times exactly? Or at least six times?
I've seen all Star Trek movies at least six times.

Airplane
And from the hall of shame...
Man of Steel (and I've still yet to remember anything noteworthy in the film)

For the first time today I've tried to get help from @vodafonegroup.bsky.social UK customer services regarding my partner's phone. All I can say is thank god I'm with EE. They're not perfect but they can usually give a straight answer. I hope to never have to deal with Vodafone again.

Rest in piece the legendary Rebecca Heinemann. Life-long games designer, programmer, gamer and tournament champion.
RIP Rebecca Heineman (1963-2025), video game industry legend, Interplay cofounder, creator of Bard’s Tale 3 (1988) & Dragon Wars (1989), programmer on dozens of games and ports (Wolfenstein 3D, Another World), and first champion of a national US video game tournament - on SPACE INVADERS in 1980.

So I'm never any good at cryptic crosswords but I thought I'd give @davegorman.bsky.social's a go and I got a grand total of ... 2!
I looked at the answers and I genuinely can't work out how you'd arrive at those answers cryptically. No spoilers please, just some hints on the thought processes.

I set today’s Guardian cryptic:

Clues include:
Yogi Bear ultimately stops Boo-Boo becoming zoo attraction? (7)
Evasive action leads to swearing if Dawn French is recording (8)
Puzzle annoys over one thousand (eg 1331) (6,4)
No spoilers, ta!

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?
Looks like there were plenty of iconic albums that came out but at the time I mainly bought compilations.
However - there was this one which I adored!

So.... for the Apple fanboys and girls. Are you gonna buy this?
Other than POTUS, this may be the stupidest thing I've ever seen. $229.95. What a steal! I'm sure many would have paid twice that for such a nice... sock.
