Watching S1E2 of ST:TOS and it is so jarring to watch it after 3 seasons of SNW! But also, it fits perfectly with the TOS (w/ VOY crossover) novel I'm reading at the moment.

There's a sudden thought. What if Cleopatra VII had sided with Octavian instead of Mark Anthony?
Huh.

I just got home from work and had to look up "what does the Sun smell like?" because that question suddenly occured to me.
The answer seems to be likely nothing.

Episode 1 of Mackenzie Crook's new drama/comedy Small Prophets done. As one expects from Crook, it's very slow-paced and with a very dry sense of humour, and there's a very pervasive air of melancholia over it. I did enjoy it, and it made me think of a retired colleague (who Michael reminds me of).

I am watching The Astronaut and so far it is okay but the wrong NASA logo is bugging me.

Today's Starfleet Academy was good, albeit a little long and handwavey, but also quite dark and heavy.
It's gonna sit a little, I think.

I was listening to Muna on my way to work and whilst I enjoy then it was bothering me a little how I just didn't "get" Silk Chiffon or What I Want. They almost might as well be in a different language.

Just finished Breathers by Justin Madson, an omnibus collecting every issue and covers of his series.
I didn't know what to expect, but it was a pretty interesting read. Certainly cannot be read as it was intended in a post-COVID world, but that makes it better in a way.

Because they all know that one egg is un œuf.

Tonight's Movie Night pick was Rush, a Formula 1 movie about the rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda, told largely from Lauda's perspective.
I don't know quite how dramatised it was, it was certainly A Bit Chesty too, but it was gripping viewing and it went by very quickly.

I don't know if to have Movie Night or not tonight. I can't think of any I particularly want to watch.

Finished Creatures of Ava, a game @alicehancock.bsky.social recommended to me.
It isn't quite what I expected, it's an action-adventure crossed with puzzles and no combat (as such, you don't defeat anything), but the story is greaat and very thought-provoking. Had no idea it was Rhianna Pratchett!

That is me done with Annie Jacobsen's Nuclear War: A Scenario.
Probably the single most terrifying book I have ever read in my life.

Does anyone else get really fucked off with the trans meme content that either shows trans people as hypersexual or has all these "signs of transness" and they're so ridiculous and exclusionary?
One meme implied I wasn't trans because I don't poison myself with energy drinks.

There's a costuming change in Episode 4 of SFA that had me squealing for various reasons. Be interested to know if anyone else picked up on it.

And finished! Really enjoyed it but it was also very educational, and discussed real-world issues in a mature but understandable way.
Saadia's voice for Kamala feels genuine too, it felt like I was reading a G. Willow Wilson-authored comic, she got the voice that correct.

I read a bit more of Ms. Marvel: Remnants of the Past by Saadia Faruqi this evening and I am really enjoying it. I feel like Saadia really gets Kamala and her friends & family, and I really vibe with Kamala's sense of justice.
It is also educational as I am having to look up Urdu and Arabic terms.

The shell, unexploded at the time of removal, resulted in the evacuation of the hospital, with an EOD squad called to clear the area.
