I think a lot about how if DS9 was made during the streaming era we wouldn't have the baseball episode. "All killer no filler" is imo not great for TV storytelling. The baseball episode is technically filler, yet I love it with all my heart & so do many others.

The Animation Industry is in such bad shape, you guys. The amount of raw talent and power it is losing because it's not providing a sustainable living is a tragedy that future generations will study with grief.
If you're supporting artists right now: thank you.

This is a great image to explain to people how AI actually has no idea what it’s writing. It’s always just a simulation of things that make sense. Some words are almost correct, others are correct but listed twice. And as soon as the writing is at an angle, it can’t figure the letters out anymore.
a friend of mine shared this ai-generated "emotion wheel" and unfortunately i have been laughing my ass off at it for like 15 minutes now. today i am feeling Fnliinneon

Pet parrots were taught to do video calls, and it was a hit.
The birds not only made friends with each other, and selected who they wanted to call and when, but also picked up new skills from fellow parrots.
Good enrichment option for improving captive parrot welfare.

if you're over 30 and "oh no suddenly my hips are going, guess im getting old 🤪 "
Go to the fucking doctor. You're injured.
And it's a lot easier to eat right if you start finding what you like that's healthy than waiting for a doc to get mad at you first.

This thread is HUGE but it's trying to survey 2000 years of Catholic doctrine and about 500 years of US religious colonialist history so what can you do.
But if you're curious about the undercurrents. Also seen in Francis's February letter to the US bishops, which was an even more pointed rebuke.

Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired!

Read Pope Leo XIV's first homily as pope
During his homily, delivered in Italian, Leo XIV said that Christians must serve a world that is often hostile to their beliefs.

Brings back a memory of when I tried to invite a guy to sit down with me and a male friend on a couch that clearly had more than enough room for three people
"No thanks, I'll stand." [For the entire 1.5hr movie]
Dude kept eyeing the couch and finally sat down after I'd left to another room too 🙃
