Spock really got his brain taken from his head and the first thing he did …. Study the entire history and culture of the planet that did it. Then after being rescued ….. He info dumped all that on Kirk, Bones, and Scotty.
This is why he can’t see himself as ever being in danger. When he is he is to busy being fixated on his favorite topics. Like “oh I’ve been kidnapped, okay, but the people who did it have a fascinating socioeconomic background. Did you know”
recently my friend’s comics professor told her that it’s acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can’t generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister’s screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won’t be able to generate a script that’s any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.
It’s only ever the jobs we’re unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don’t.
Morn is such a crazy character. He’s in twice as many episodes as Nog, the most frequently recurring character. He never speaks and barely moves yet has an in-universe reputation as a balls-to-the-walls crazy chatterbox. He is heavily implied to be an alcoholic. The bartender is his best friend. He robbed a bank and then stole the money from the people who helped him, and then years later when the statute of limitations was up he faked his death to get them off his back. He canonically gets bitches. And he looks like a baked potato
i’d make a joke about “let the HUSBAND giggle under the covers and tell HIS WIFE to put that camera away before dying before HIS WIFE’S story starts” but lets be real he’d still get more fanart
sir do you understand that you are being criticized right now
The best thing about tumblr is you can just make a criticism of a very specific person completely unprompted and then that person will appear as if summoned in your notes to prove your point for you.
you are one of the "son boy allowed" lesbian moms?? your deco is very regularly referenced among my friends and I!! you are a celebrity!! I hope you know how much dialogue you have changed for queers young and old on the internet, particularly x and tumblr. thank you for your service 🫡
fun story: my mom is actually the one who made the sign. she was in town for our baby shower and we were laughing about the “no boys allowed” sign and she was like “wait, hold on,” switched the letters around, and voila! son boy allowed.
she used to work at a university library. her job was mostly helping students learn how to access and utilize the online resources held by the library. she was helping a student get into their account once and needed to know their password. when the student told her the pw was “son boy allowed” my mom, who is not hip to queer meme culture, said, “oh! do you know my daughter?”
and that’s how she learned her silly joke was legendarily famous in certain online circles.
if i had three wishes they would all be to make web 2.0 utterly illegal and go back to normal html
how do we explain to children that all our tech briefly worked perfectly and over time we threw it all away for sleek menus and corporate opacity
“we could give you a link to this mp3 OR we could run it in a proprietary player app that must connect to the internet every time you hit the resume button”
when i upgraded from a flip phone to an iphone and realized i could no longer record and set a custom ringtone because apple wanted me to buy radio pop ringtones, i realized, oh cool new tech isnt made for us it’s made to exploit us and we are going to let it happen
