My biggest problem with Strange New Worlds is the same problem I have with The Mummy: I find absolutely all of them impossibly attractive. My type is Competent And Complex People With A Sense of Humor, so I am done for, entirely.

It's true, though. I got a Brother laser printer like some people adopt cats: the ancient thing came out of someone's shed, on the verge of going to the dump. It worked for me for several years on cheap Amazon toner. I got its HP twin for $10. It looks exactly the same but errors once a month.
This is the funniest piece imaginable in the dull world of the otherwise sickly sycophantic tech review.
For real. Read it, even if you don’t give a rat’s ass about printers.

SNW got us. Watched the War episode right after the crossover, felt shattered by it, so we decided to do one more. It's the musical episode. We just finished Uhura's big number and thank god there was a commercial break after because I criiiiiiied.
Spent today catching up on some Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks. Finally saw the crossover episode and I think it's one of my favorite Star Trek episodes ever. Such a love letter to fandom and science and exploration. <3

Listened to the new Lily Allen album while cleaning the kitchen with the toddler. It’s pretty good as a storytelling album, and even if the lyrics are highly repetitive and basic, her fire’s in it. Mostly it just reminded me what a banger her first album was so then we restarted that. :)

Science On Tap: The Neuroscience of Alcohol - 9 FAQs
In this light-hearted presentation, we will answer 9 frequently asked questions related to alcohol and brain function, with an emphasis on adolescents-young adulthood. Many lores and misrepresentations about beverage alcohol (ethanol) abound and are retold throughout human history. Decades of scientific studies on alcohol effects on brain and behavior, however, are just as intriguing. Why is 21 years the legal age to purchase alcohol? Why does alcohol give you the spins?
