Just to preface my opinion, I think it’s ok to disagree on this haha. HOWEVER I don’t think it’s much of a travesty anytime Chakotay didn’t get to have a main plot. He’s a really wooden actor (made all the more obvious by mulgrew’s strength) who was given a really poorly defined character (as you can see by the way his hobbies are, like, whatever they needed to be for the plot to move? And never the same?) And sure, the powers that be wanted eye candy… but seven did end up being a super substantial character. She had some of the best stories and made all the best characters better just by being there. She was an amazing foil!

Sitting in the splash zone of this whole thing, Matt’s contribution to the project is a net negative. Professionally and personally, he is seems unable or unwilling to deescalate conflict. In fact, he creates conflict where none is necessary, and then seems to act shocked and disappointed at the results.

He makes decisions unilaterally that don’t reflect what a thoughtful steward of an open source project would do. (And I say this as a proponent of the idea of the block editor, and as someone for whole building sites with blocks is my bread and butter- except I use ACF, full disclosure.) an example, picayune as it may seem, is the function capital_P_dangit().

It’s not picayune, by the way.

And now this mess. This is by far the most destructive thing he’s done. He needs to be removed.

I was just mentioning Britanny Murphy’s performance to my husband the other day, she was such an island of (hilarious) sincerity in a perfect river of satire.

Also I think I say “it’d be real easy” like … once a week?

“Drive me home?”

“Don’t let her fool you, she lives two trailers down!”

“So? It’d be real easy!”

The Spanish Prisoner. I won’t spoil anything, but Steve Martin’s performance is remarkable!

Primer is another movie I’ve returned to over and over.

Also, Ever After for comfort.

+1 for drop dead gorgeous, my favorite comedy along with muppets from space.

That sounds amazing; I would buy immediately.

I am so curious. Tell me more about this? Can you share a link? What are the mines like- I’ve seen devs do escape room style challenges where you’re solving a progressive puzzle using dev tools, is it like that?

Years ago I lived Jeremiah’s Pick, Jamaica blue mountain blend. I haven’t seen it in forever. Anybody know where to cop?

Little app only for the Apple Watch called Nomi that I like. Doesn’t get updated anymore but still works. It’s a couple bucks, and I’ve enjoyed it for years

I am getting towards the end of a ds9 rewatch (one episode before bed most nights) and I’m getting so happy to get to a voyager rewatch! It’s months away but still. (Not that I don’t like ds9, particularly the latter half.)

 

Alt text (which is actually, and always has been, the title text but we all just call it the alt text: "wipe questions about old star trek episodes from MY mind and there simply wouldn't be anything left, and i would be as blank as Uhura was when her memory was wiped by Nomad, the space probe created by the collision of an Earth probe designed to seek out new life forms, and Tan Ru, an alien probe programmed to secure and sterilize soil samples from other planets, and their two programs merged and create a probe who believed its purpose was to seek out and steralize imperfect life forms and which then mistook Captain James Kirk as Jackson Roykirk, its creator!"

 
 
 
 
 

From nugget form at ~8 weeks to this photo taken at I think 6. She’s now 8 years old and looks much the same (except for a surgery scar from a total carpal fusion).
