Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

I know people are waking up to how bad streaming services are for artists, music discovery and the environment. If you have a huge collection of mp3s like me, I can't recommend www.navidrome.org enough. You do need to be a bit techy to set it up, but it's pretty straightforward.

This guy, Dean Jones, was great at playing scientists. The other night I saw him in an episode of Murder, She Wrote called Harbinger of Death where he played an astronomer.

Fuck you Maria (don't worry, she's just a bot). Anyway, I am very slowly getting better at chess. Very, very slowly. Very, very, very slowly.

I loved Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula by Christian Klaver! I'm a huge Holmes fan and I can see some of the more traditional fans balking at this type of crossover but it was so cool!!! It's just so well done. I had an idea of what it would be in my head and it was infinitely better than that.

This looks amazing!!!
I just learned that this exists and now I have to share it with you all because I don't even listen to podcasts, but just knowing that this is a thing has unironically increased my overall happiness and wellbeing:

I do not understand in a world where comic book movies dominated the theaters for a decade and more people play D&D than ever why Hollywood still insists that every other fantasy movie needs to set a chunk of the film in the "real world" as some attempt at a meta narrative. Just let it be a fantasy.

It seems the name of one of Starfleet Academy's sports teams is "Laplings", as seen on banners in #StarfleetAcademy's first two episodes "Kids These Days" and "Beta Test". The team (and possibly also its mascot) is named after laplings, as seen in #StarTrekTNG's "The Most Toys"➡️ and "New Ground".

Look, it's The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue. I love this film so much!!! If you haven't watched it, you definitely should. You know, if you like zombies.

There's a chess set with angular glass /crystal game pieces in Mir and Reymi's Starfleet Academy cadet quarters in #StarfleetAcademy's "Beta Test"↗️↘️↙️. The pieces are similar to the ones in Picard's Starbase Earhart cadet quarters in #StarTrekTNG's "Tapestry"↖️.
