I finished the first season of Lower Decks and I am not sure how I feel. I find the humour kind of not very funny most of the time, and while that was grading at first I now am familiar enough with the characters and like them enough in general that I can put it past me.
It's ridiculous sometimes and I am okay with that. I just wish it were funnier for me. I like comedy, it's that this kind of comedy really isn't my favourite. I'm happy that other people find it enjoyable in that way though.

Rudy Giuliani injured in New Hampshire car crash, his spokesperson says
Rudy Giuliani is recovering from a fractured vertebra and other injuries following a car crash in New Hampshire, a spokesperson for the former New York City mayor said Sunday.
Giuliani’s vehicle was struck from behind while traveling on a highway Saturday evening, according to a statement posted on X by Michael Ragusa, Giuliani’s head of security. “He sustained injuries but is in good spirits and recovering tremendously,” Ragusa said, adding: “This was not a targeted attack.”
Giuliani, 81, was taken to a nearby trauma center and was being treated for injuries including “a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg,” according to Ragusa.

My only suggestion to this informative list would be to include what platforms you played these games on and/or what platforms they’re available to play on. I seemed to have a pretty low batting average trying to find them on iOS, for instance. But it’d be good to know where else I COULD play them.

The image is a four-panel comic strip with a colorful, psychedelic background. The first panel shows a character sitting at a desk, looking frustrated and holding a pen, with the text "INFINITE POTENTIAL" above. The character is thinking, "How do I pack this down into something I can actually share?" The second panel depicts the same character holding a small, simple object, looking disappointed, with the text "All that work for this?!" The third panel shows another character handing the first character a small object, saying, "Here you go, I made this, it sucks." The fourth panel shows the first character holding a more complex, colorful object, looking surprised, with the text "Infinite potential." The comic humorously illustrates the struggle of distilling complex ideas into simple, shareable forms.

Is Captain Pike canonically polyam in Strange New Worlds?
In the episode "Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach" he sleeps and discuses future plans with an alien lady called Alora while he is in a relationship with Captain Batel. The relationship with Alora ends because of some horrible revelations about her planet, but at no point are the two parallel relationships presented as potential for conflict. It think it's therefore safe to assume that Pike and Batel's relationship does not contradict other, parallel romantic or sexual relationships.
However if Pike is indeed canonically polyam, it's strange that I never found that topic in any discussion about queerness in modern Star Trek.
Edit: Typos
Batel and Pike's relationship is one of the first things we learn about in Strange New Worlds. In the very first episode we see them sharing breakfast after having shared a bed during the night. The scene implies some routine to this arrangement. Generally when discussing Pike people seem to agree that she is his girlfriend.
Sure, it is possible that their relationship actually is just this one super casual encounter between friends that becomes a romantic relationship later. However, I don't see why this is a more likely explanation than them just not having a problem with each other having other romantic or sexual relationship/encounters.
The show just showing us a polyamorous character would also fit in with how they introduced other queer characters in modern Star Trek. They mostly just are what they are without any discussion or explanation. I belive the only exception to this is Adira Tal in Discovery who has a very undramatic coming out moment with Paul Stamets (when they correct him on their pronouns).
Okay, I've now spent two hours or something rewatching parts of some episodes.
I agree that it _can_ be seen as a polyam relationship, but that's not the way I'm interpreting it. To me, it seems as if it's more of a "friends with benefits" kind of situation in S1, evolving throughout S2 and becoming much more committed in S3.
Now, would I love some polyam representation in Trek? Absolutely. But it seems like The Expanse is where that's gonna stay for now.
[1/2]
The major clue to me was their interaction at the beginning of 1x10. Batel asks him "how have you been holding up", which implies they haven't really talked between 1x01 and 1x10. I'd expect more (subspace comms) interaction in a committed polyam relationship.
And also, she says she's having a "date" with someone, and the way Pike reacts just doesn't _feel_ polyam to me. It's less "interesting, tell me" and more like "yeah sure, go have fun".
I could be wrong of course.

In general I would agree with you, but they are also in a setting where subspace communications is not always possible. Maybe they just did not have the opportunity to talk for longer than usual.
> And also, she says she's having a "date" with someone, and the way Pike reacts just doesn't _feel_ polyam to me. It's less "interesting, tell me" and more like "yeah sure, go have fun".
That's a good point. I would probably be more like "interesting, tell me" and less like "yeah sure, go have fun", if my partner told me about dating someone else, too. But maybe that's just not their dynamic.
To be honest, I think the two of us might have already been spending more time thinking about this than the writers. It wouldn't be the first time that Star Trek is inconsistent between different episodes, because they have different writer involved.
I guess, I will chose to see Pike and Batel as polyam as a fun head canon for me. I think it can be at least interpreted that way.
The same one, 1x10, at 3:05.
Batel: "Well. Much as I love you being mysterious, I've got a date on the far side of the Neutral Zone. [kisses Pike]"
Pike: "Anyone I know?"
Batel: "Not that kind of date, actually."
Pike: "You know, I'm making osso bucco next week, if you're interested."
So, it's not a real date, but Pike doesn't know that when he asks the question. It's just … the way that he asks it is very casual and more like a quip than genuine curiosity.
> I think the two of us might have already been spending more time thinking about this than the writers.
Don't know about that, but you have certainly given me an interesting question, should I ever talk to the writers, or Anson, or Melanie.
> I guess, I will chose to see Pike and Batel as polyam as a fun head canon for me. I think it can be at least interpreted that way.
I agree, it can 😀 Enjoy!

Where stone remembers and silence speaks - Tungkillo’s quiet legacy.
Tungkillo Cemetery, Tungkillo, South Australia, August 2022.
Tungkillo Cemetery, located in the Mid Murray region of South Australia, serves as a resting place for generations of local families, pioneers, and settlers.
The township of Tungkillo itself was surveyed in the mid-19th century, and the cemetery reflects this colonial heritage. Many of the headstones date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, bearing names tied to the region’s agricultural and community development.

for much as I do like the story setup for the second part of the new pokemon anime, I have been noticing...a concerning lack of budget, lol. It's not god awful but it's pretty poor right now and has persisted too long to be for "we're saving up for a really good upcoming arc". These are episodes that aren't filler designed to work within budget either, they do a multi pokemon battles pretty much every episode and they're supremely sub par.
I fear they won't get to execute on the good ideas.
like it's not bad but like something about quaxwell here just made me fucking laugh.
