(you're doing the great work btw <3)

I re-watched Casablanca last night for the first time in years (thanks to @lukeoneil47.bsky.social and @willsloanesq.bsky.social for inspiring that) and my god does it hit different at this moment in time. I realize it is not a primary source per se, but it *is* a historical document! 1942!!

Also you can be sincere and shallow and fickle at the same time. Sincerity is not necessarily worth anything.

Nazissus.

dude, at least wait until the temperature is back in the low 30s!

oh oh, maybe mirror universe Riker? They all had goatees to indicate that they could not be trusted.

was he a clone, or the result of a transporter snafu caused by a something-something atmospheric storm in a TNG ep I recall? Or are there *multiple duplicate Rikers* in ST canon?!

(I haven't watched DS9 through, to my shame)

And remember you get to aim it when you get to the top

Fair. That would ring true with my internal secunit. I guess we (my family) have baseline low expectations when it comes to media adaptations.

Also, the sexualization (via lebebe's comedy penis routine) and strangely intentional introduction of secunits having unique features both seem dissonant.

I'd apologize for any shit software I might have contributed over my long and storied career, but I've only ever been peripherally associated with successful projects. Fortunately for all of us, any software I made has likely sublimated away completely.

and that they mishap their planes similarly disproportionately. Still glad of them though, and appreciate that they're as much a product of an abusive healthcare culture as I am when I fail to follow up because they treat my time like its worthless.

IKR - it's comment-worthy because it's unusual. I dunno why I started out expecting a more rational approach from doctors, but it makes sense that with so much responsibility and pressure the Dunning Kruger sets in early. No coincidence that doctors have pilot licenses at higher rates than gen pop

Also in Ontario - mine still masks and requires that we do too. She's also opted out of LLM services at the clinic (they're using it to summarize recorded conversations and notes it seems) but warned me I'd need to opt out if I needed the walk-in clinic. Big clinic, most of them are using it. smh

Good luck (I know, it's in the planning, and you seem good at that - but much is beyond our control particularly at short notice so good luck to you all the same)

Actions have consequences.

Coincidentally we're just listening to the Jan-June (part 1) of the Bugle year in review, and honestly the first 6 months of 2025 feels like the before times! I realize the Bugle isn't quite the political weather vane I wish it was, but still - early 2nd term Trump makes me nostalgic.
