Psychodelic, in In honor of the late William Anders, here's a really great video on the "Earthrise" photo and how improbable it is that we have it at all

Hey OP, thanks a lot for making this post! I appreciate you giving me an outlet for my mental illness the opportunity to let you, and any other users here, know that I actually really prefer graphic novels.

OP, would you kindly consider adapting the information presented in this video into a graphic novel (in color, of course) so I can consume the infoyou found interesting in my preferred format? Also, one of my cousins is deaf , so could you make a copy of the graphic novel in sign language, too?

I hope it’s as interesting as I imagine. I haven’t clicked on it yet since I don’t want to spoil anything in the graphic novel adaptation

Sorry. Just having fun. Some people on this site are legit interesting characters, to put it nicely

jordanlund, in Episode Discussion | Doctor Who | 1x01 "Space Babies" and 1x02 "The Devil's Chord"

So far, it’s better than all of the Whittaker run and probably 1/2 of Capaldi.

Only 2 real complaints:

  1. Did he really need to say “Space Babies” every few minutes? Seemed excessive.
  2. Is it wise casting a drag queen as a villain given all the anti-drag queen sentiment? I know, I get it, maybe it’s not as bad in the UK as it is here, but do we need to further demonize drag queens?

+1 note… LOL…

I was convinced the lost chord was going to be the mystery chord that opens A Hard Day’s Night.

Gosh, what a loaded question! I think it ultimately boils down to a question of representation - these things shouldn’t be a problem in isolation, but they can be a problem if it’s part of a greater pattern. It does sound like Davies is intent on weaving queerness throughout all aspects of this series, so that will probably make a difference.

I was convinced the lost chord was going to be the mystery chord that opens A Hard Day’s Night.

I had the legendary chord from “A Day in the Life” in mind, which of course isn’t really possible on a single piano (at least, not to its full effect).

Could be “worse.” Remember when the Welsh Guard Band played the imperial march for a Saudi King?

Jaccident, in “USS Callister” Sequel on it's way!

Oh my god I’m so glad this was announced. I was on the bridge set last week and it was an awesome moment for me!

No shit that’s awesome how’d you manage that?

Jaccident,

Total happenstance! One of their workshops is right next to mine, and I walked past one morning and spotted a prop I recognised. I poked my head round the door and asked if it was what I thought and between various people being astonished that I had recognised it, they told me they were just starting the build and how to take a little peek. It was only half finished but it was really really cool nonetheless!

exocrinous,

Amazing

Rentlar, in I am extremely grateful to everybody involved with Lemmy. That includes you!

This is the best kind of cross post. Virtual hugs for everyone.

Since Lemmyvision is a homo sapiens only club, startrek.website will not be able to participate directly, and Spock’s rendition of “I’m the X” is sadly ineligible.

But this is pretty cool!

AnarchistArtificer, in The Doctor Who wiki has forked from Fandom and is now self-hosted

I’m glad to see this. When I was playing Baldur’s Gate 3, it took me a while to discover bg3.wiki rather than the previous dominant one, which was fextralife. I played the game quite early, so there were a lot of information gaps, and having somewhere that wasn’t an ad filled nightmare to consult motivated me to help fill some of those gaps, because it felt like a community space more than a product.

Ashen44,

Indie Wiki Buddy!

This extension auto redirects from fandom and fextralife to the equivalent indie Wiki! Never visit a horrid corporate wiki ever again! (unless you’re a monster hunter fan like me ;_;)

Hilariously bad

Daxtron2, in Reddit has a new AI training deal to sell user content

The AI training cause is the least of my concerns with reddit these days.

Man that reminds me that I haven’t deleted all my posts and comments yet! Anyone got a good program for that?

NotAtWork,

If you delete content it just flags it as not public, Reddit will keep the data, they have shown this by undeleting content in the past.

Mr_Mofu,
@Mr_Mofu@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yeah, I just wanna rob the place of all the content I put on it. If they reinstate the comments and posts ill just request a complete EU compliant clensing

Maalus,

They don’t care. The content will stay either way. It’s been done before.

Thank you for the update! Our trusty bot over at c/greatestgen had no issues and is still posting the most embarrassing episodes (so all of them) of The Greatest Generation and The Greatest Trek.

I had a difficult time figuring out how to read the post on the website. Clicking the link itself just gave me an errror. I had to discover what that innocuous “+” was for to expand and read.

I recommend editing this post’s title to include the TL;DR.

Admin,
@Admin@startrek.website avatar

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I’ve done just that.
