  • I didn’t play any Star Trek game… Except for Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Final Unity, which I found at a local flea market a few years ago. So it’s that one by default!

    It’s an ok point and click adventure, I don’t think it’s even the best Star Trek point and click adventure available. I’ve never been too much into these sorts of games but I confess it was extremely nostalgic even though I had never played it before!








  • The cockatiel has been starting every day by singing loudly in his cage, especially when the dog enters the room. He’s still madly in love with her. Unfortunately I don’t know if the dog even acknowledges the cockatiel as a living being (we never let him out of the cage while the dog is around as she is quite destructive).

    The dog is getting old last week she had a bad leg. The vet said it was probably because of her age, so he gave us medication to prevent arthritis. She’s all good now. Yesterday she had a zoomies session like I’ve never seen before, she somehow managed to push my mattress almost entirely out of the bed frame in a single jump while me and my sister were laughing so hard we were crying.


  • Maybe I am in a different environment (particularly not being American), but the old scientists still exist and are still hard at work. In fact, all scientists I know (and I work in academia) care very little for misinformation on their day to day lives. They’ll make fun of it, but don’t have any more contact with them than anyone else. They still spend most of their time working on their actual projects. The only thing that changed is that now they’re bending over backwards to include AI in their grants to make sure they’re accepted, but having to include the latest buzzwords is nothing new.

    Science communicators, on the other hand, yeah, those probably have their hands full with fixing misinformation.









  • The nazis modeled a lot of their Reich on the Roman state (the eagle iconography was used by both). The Roman salute was just something else they took from their idea of the Roman empire

    So I’m with you, I have no idea how “it’s a roman salute” is supposed to make anything better
