Das Bild zeigt eine Szene aus dem Film "Star Trek: First Contact." Im Vordergrund steht Captain Jean-Luc Picard in seiner roten Uniform, der in einem technisch ausgestatteten Raum steht. Hinter ihm sind zwei Borg-Kollektive zu sehen, die durch ihre grünen Augen und mechanische Gesichter gekennzeichnet sind. Der Bildschirm zeigt eine Beschreibung des Borg-Kollektivs, das sich selbst als "Borg" bezeichnet und als halb-maschinelle Kollektiv mit dem einzigartigen Ziel beschrieben wird, alle Rassen zu erobern und zu assimilieren. Der Film ist als Science-Fiction-Kino mit einer Laufzeit von 1 Stunde 51 Minuten und HD-Qualität gekennzeichnet.

I have to use a Firefox plugin to force scaling on some sites because the webshits making them think that my tiny 2880x1800 display means I'm on a mobile phone so they serve up the useless version of their site with inch-high letters, half the functionality missing, and everything hidden behind hamburger menus.

Did you know #Scotland is the first country in the world to protect in law the right to access free period products for anyone who needs them? Not sure how it’s working out, because I don’t live here. But I’ve noticed free tampons and pads in the toilets of the hostels where I’ve been staying and also on a ferry while here.
Also mentioned it in my Substack post amyfallon.substack.com/p/every…

Happy Families. Tonight’s trip to #MidsomerMurders contains guest appearances by murderous statues of Anubis, Caroline Quentin, and an older Adrian Edmondson, hinting at a calmer, devious tweed and-cardigan wearing Vyvyan.


Just read an incredible article: breathwork—controlled breathing to calm or energise the mind—doesn’t just relax you—it changes blood flow in brain regions tied to self-awareness, fear & emotional memory. First MRI evidence of its neuromodulatory effects. Fascinating therapeutic potential.

It's Saturday night and I'm back to work tomorrow. I'm already getting messages about who is sick tomorrow. I was in a meeting on the dock earlier this week and fantasized about just taking off my safety vest and walking until I passed out. I reckon I could do about 40km, but the magpies would get to me before I got that far.


Still considering attending tomorrow's March For White Australia?

Not only are the National Socialist Network attending. They'll be speaking.

It's a nazi march. Anyone in attendance is marching with nazis.




Intel Is Laying Off Workers While Raking In Public Largesse


Chipmaker Intel has been laying off thousands of its American workers — as it rakes in billions in subsidies from the US government and lavishes multimillion-dollar severance and compensation packages on its former and current CEOs.


Just did a Star Wars & pizza night with Kid #2 (8YO). It went pretty well, except for the stupid, gratuitous CGI, and the undeleted deleted scene(s).

Kid #1 never wanted a bar of it, even with pizza & caramel popcorn...

@ewen Do you take viewer questions? If so, I have one for you (if not no dramas):

I'm getting back into amateur photography and I've gotten myself a manual 35mm(w/APS/C) lens to try and shoot with that range and just practise composition. Something I find quite challenging is how to compose a shot in the "real world". I know the rules of composition, but those are 2d, and you often don't get to choose exactly how to compose. Also in the real world there aren't boundaries like there is on an image. I find that choice quite overwhelming.

So the question: How do you go about composing a shot? What decisions do you make ahead of time vs what do you do in the moment? Do you start with the subject and go from there, or do you decide that based on how things are composed in the real world? What do you do when you can't quite reach a perfect spot to take the image, or there's something annoying in the way?

"From center-left Ezra Klein to right-wing Matt Walsh, the fertility panic is an elite fixation that is rooted in a human supremacist worldview and a deep fear of slowing growth."

Modern relationship to Earth is fundamentally parasitic - regardless of whether societies are capitalist or socialist;

There's evidence that it's something in plastics that's causing the male fertility issues.

in reply to Diane

In the long run it may be the only thing that will make us stop using so much plastic. One way or another.

Meanwhile, it can't be affecting only human males.

It is deeply ironic to me that people who use the term 'luddite' to mock anti-AI artists, writers and professionals are, in fact, using the word in exactly the same way that a LLM would use the word - based on frequency of occurrence, with no actual understanding of what the term means, or what the group stood for.
