If you like Fraser and thoughtful scifi, I recommend this sequel (start with part 1 if you're new). I admit I'm partial to this franchise as I'm mentioned (twice!) in part 1—but I promise I get nothing from it (other than pride)! 😀 A mind-bending ride w/complex ethical questions. @robertjsawyer.com

This whole series was up there with 2011 WS Game 6. Thrilling mathematical, strategic, emotional, physical artistry. 😮 Caps off.

Or the city of "Kier, PE" in SEVERANCE which somehow exists in the U.S. but with a Canadian state abbreviation! Also… the St. Louis situation makes it rather difficult for those of us who were born there, whenever we have to fill out a form that requires us to declare which County we're from. 😬
This sounds like Night Vale

The city of “St. Louis” exists in NO county at all. To make things weirder, there is also a “St. Louis County” which does NOT contain St. Louis city.
Are there cities besides New York that contain counties instead of the other way around? (Or cities, like San Francisco, that are counties?)

On the 40th anniversary of the Greatest 80s Animated Show Ever™—M.A.S.K.—you should consider purchasing "M.A.S.K.: The Complete Series DVD" set from @shoutstudios.bsky.social (w/ interviews with myself, and produced by Sir @johnchampion.bsky.social). Just sayin'.

WWRD (What Would Riker Do)? The correct configuration, of course, is to invert your Y-axis controls but not your X-axis controls. I'll be taking no questions at this time.

Why do some gamers invert their controls? Scientists now have answers, but they’re not what you think
The phenomenal response to an article we published on this question led to detailed cognitive research – and the findings have implications that go way beyond gamers

I've been in a bizarre situation for the past several days in which no one — and I mean almost NO ONE — is responding to business emails or DMs (some of which are time-critical). Is there some weird internet outage I'm not aware of? 🤔

Not a joke; I have two Wi-Fi networks at my house (top). Tonight, I opened my Wi-Fi settings to find this. Whichever of my neighbors did this: Well played, sir. Well played. 🤣

Just received notice that the original camera masters and physical release copies of the feature I did in 2009 have been destroyed. It was overdue (long-term physical storage of films is impractical and wasteful at this point), but it still feels weird. Sigh.

"They say 'Time is the fire in which we burn.'" While duty calls and precludes my attendance, I shall still greatly miss STLV25. To honor the past, here's a small memento of times long gone. A salute to my friends who endeavor to undertake the journey! Have a beer for me, if you feel so inclined.

I was obsessed with this as a child!
Remembering satirist Tom Lehrer, one of whose most popular works was "The Elements," which is simply the names of all the elements, set to a Gilbert and Sullivan tune from The Pirates of Penzance. Lehrer passed away last week at the age of 97.. youtu.be/AcS3NOQnsQM?...

I called Marnie in quickly as she might not be quite so gentle. She has more survival instincts working. He/she is so cute I had to share him/her with you. 🤗

Dang… Emmys go sci-fi! "Severance," "Andor," "Last of Us," "Agatha"… all nominated (multiple times) in traditionally non-scifi categories. Even "Doctor Who" gets its first nom in 62 years! Wow.
