I'm all finished with the original cast of Star Trek! I was actually a little sad to see them fade away at the end of the sixth movie... I'm now moving into Trek that I've seen before, starting with Next Gen! Sorta forgot how rough these first couple seasons are, though. Sigh...

Use your existing Bluesky account to log into Leaflet and now you have an open-source Substack replacement. You're welcome.

Leaflet is the new† Substack‡, you heard it here first folks! ✍️ 🍃 💸 †not just new — better — b/c no platform lock-in, great Bluesky integration…and now, monetization too! ‡actually even bigger than that; not just us but a whole open ecosystem replacing Substack! here if you have any q's!

I think it's okay if we, as a society or whatever, decide to cancel people that are harming or advocating for harm. Probably deserved. But I really think it's shitty and kind of worrisome how often we also cancel people just because they had a really out of pocket hot take.

I just had to share and it was a longer post than I could put here.

Cuteness Overload

Seymour is fitting right in.

If I don't actually sleep tonight instead of just napping for a couple of hours I swear to FSM I'm gonna start sleepmaxxing. 🫩

I have only The Undiscovered Country to go before I'm officially finished with the original crew in its entirety. The first movie was really looong but I've enjoyed the heck out of all of them except for 5. It was kinda meh. Even the one with the whales! I loved the one with the whales!!! 🐋🐋

We have finally arrived, refit lovers! 🖖

My Trek Through Trek — The Motion Picture

We're so back.

Okay, so now I get why everybody loves Mecca Chameleon. Especially after I found out there is a color picker halfway through our rounds. Game changer! 🥴

Remember that code JIGGY saves you 10%. 😉

the first sighting has been recovered. someone bottled it before we could ask questions. what do you think the mystery flavor is? live.advanced.gg/lochness

Managed to fit in The Voyage Home today. I liked it. Whales are cool as hell. I liked the crew incorporating spicy language in 1980s Earth, too. “Double dumbass on you!” 😂 I did happen to catch this in the corner of one scene, though. This hairstyle is ✨ everything!✨

Interesting. Hopefully this means StreamElements isn't going away soon. I've used it forever and trying to find similar would SUCK. However, Razer can hopefully instill a little more integrity into their practices. Lots of people have had late or missing payments from SE, myself included.

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg · 5d ago

SteamElements has been acquired by Razer.

Now viewing The Search for Spock. The third film with the OG cast. I'm so confused... Where HAS Spock gone? Has Bones gone bananas? Where is Kirstie Alley and why is the new Saavik better? What is this collar that Chekov is wearing? Why is it snowing on the Genesis cactuses???

I think we've officially decided that the new baby's name is... SEYMOUR! Like from Little Shop of Horrors. Because my nephew rescued him from a plant. ☺️

Settling down for Wrath of Khan right now. I'm so excited!! This is where the franchise “gets good,” I'm told!

Post stream clips, cats, jokey memes, gaming and other content... Nobody cares. Make a super quick video reacting to Jimothy the Raccoon... Gets nearly 80K views on TikTok. What even are algorithms?? 🥴

We just can't ignore it.

The Cat Distribution System

It strikes again!

blog.jiggyflyjoe.com

Well, we weren't really planning on adding another furball to the family, especially so soon after the loss of Tigger. But the cat distribution system kicked into gear yet again. 🥴 Say hello to this little guy. Name TBA.

Okay, so I realize this is borderline advertisement but I just wanted to announce to that a decent company is actually taking a chance on my little corner of the web! I'm now an Ambassador with @advanced.gg! Use my linky link or code JIGGY at checkout to get 10% off your drinky drinks!

I'm so excited to move into the Star Trek that comes after this!

My Trek Through Trek — The Animated Series

Oh boy...

blog.jiggyflyjoe.com

Boomers that complain about evil socialists kill me because, like, do they know their Social Security check every month is a socialist principle? When you tell me not to vote for a left-leaning socialist candidate, it's like... Don't threaten me with a good time! Socialism ≠ Communism 🤷‍♂️

Don't know if I can quite picture Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider just yet, but we will see! Very cool tidbits about Doomsday and Black Panther 3, though! 🙌

Here's what's next for Marvel Studios and the Marvel Cinematic Universe

I also completed watching Star Trek: The Animated Series for the first time tonight. I used to say that I was a fan of “all things Star Trek,” but I am decidedly not a fan of whatever that was. My actual review is forthcoming.

Snuggled into bed tonight with my two cats who do not get along. One is on top of the covers while the other is burrowed underneath. I hope I don't wind up needing to urgently use the restroom at any point because getting out before them and disrupting the current peace is ill advised. 😬

Had a wicked headache all day but I still managed to get a little two hour Twitch stream in, so I guess I should be proud of myself. Trying to make my give a shit go.

If you were praying for summer, just know that I hate you.

This is so sad, and it's often the cause of what tears people apart after the death of the glue that holds them together. I hope his surviving loved ones are able to get this worked out amicably...

Chadwick Boseman Estate Dispute Escalates as Brothers Challenge Widow’s Role

By the way, I am still working through my epic all things Star Trek rewatch and more reviews will be coming soon. I'm really struggling to get through The Animated Series and keep distracting myself with other shows. 😄 Maybe I just need to start posting show reviews altogether, not just Star Trek?

Oh, yes, the very cool duo @jenericlive.com gave me my invitation to Bluesky! Then I made @missfiasco.com join. 😈

Jake_Vig@jakevig.bsky.social · 2w ago

Tomorrow is "Shoutout the Person Who Gave You a Bluesky Invite Code" Day. It was a cool time for cool people to drag other cool people here.

Just a friendly reminder that our fundraiser for Best Friends Animal Society is still ongoing and we only need $34 to reach our first, tiny little goal to honor my dearly departed Tigger! Check the link below for more: tilt.fyi/ssS72S0VPA

At least they're attacking each other... For now. 😬
