When you're old and this sort of marketing statement doesn't have the desired effect. Instead of a purchase it made me contemplate "how much stuff do I really need?"

Bynars take over the Enterprise to save their race.
Bynars vs Borg.
If I wrote for Star Trek. In some way I would have made these diminutive guys a nemesis to the Borg. I'd come up with something that prevents their assimilation.
They are small, but they'd be mighty!

I'm not gonna lie. I like puffins, ever since the ladybird book in Mrs Knibbs class in St James CE Lower. Loved these curious ocean birds.🪶
But what is Christmassy about a puffin 🤷♂️
Can we substitute them for Turkey on the 25th? Is that what makes them Christmassy...I'm joking BTW. 🤣

Enjoy. If you haven't heard of Wild Robot, have you heard of Elio? Kate Mulgrew makes voice cameo near the start that gave me chills. Elio (imho) is very much as delightful as Startrek Prodigy.

Have you peeps seen The Wild Robot? Few months ago purchased it on prime. Finally watched it. First 20 mins were all over the place. Later something got in my eye and tears formed but it wasn't the movie!

I found this hanging from piece of roof timber in my loft/attic.
It's about four centimeters wide. In the photos below it is upside down to how I found it, suspended from "silk"
Anyone know if it's some bee species or wasp nest?
In the photos the nest is sitting on my lavender plants.

When P+ wrote off #Prodigy I swore I'd never get P+ again. Haven't had active subs since 2023-24 for Halo. Got this price increase msg earlier. Sounds like they think I've a subs. Their online portal offers no acc delete link. You have to get passed AI chatbot to a live person then they

Here are mine:
Kai Winn: The bigger the smile, the more devastating the treachery.

Watching Elio on Disneyplus for the 2nd time. I'm a harsh critic of most tv and movies. But I can't fault this. The music, the pacing, wonderful characters, the story. A rare 5 🌟s from me.
And at its heart, it's an honorary Star Trek story. Beautiful, moving, inspiring hope.
