Hemmer's death was the beginning of the downward trend for this show.
TrekMovie.com@trekmovie.bsky.social · 14h agoHappy birthday to Bruce Horak, who played Chief Engineer Hemmer of the USS Enterprise on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Very Short Treks—and was a singing Klingon in SNW's "Subspace Rhapsody." In addition to being an actor, he's also a painter and visual artist.
for the first time in two and a half years, a new note was played in this organ performance today!
![Organ²/ASLSP (As Slow as Possible) is a musical piece by John Cage.[1]
An organ in St. Burchardi church in Halberstadt in 2001 began a performance that is due to end in 2640. This makes it the longest running non-computerized piece currently being performed.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreiabq354dz537iuzii7lwylq56yyr4bcrzkj32by4z7fq3clewmssy)
At the time, medical authorities said "If any of this works, it'll look like we overreacted," and yep, here we are.

Happy 60th Birthday Revolver, and in a months time Star Trek the original series
Starships fly at the speed of plot and transporters saved the show from landing Starships or shuttles. That's it.
Sean Kelly@storyslug.bsky.social · 9h agoDespite all the meme jokes about transporters killing you and sending off your clone to finish your mission, that's not really how the transporters on Star Trek work: They convert your matter into energy and then *transmit* that *same* energy to a location to be reassembled as matter.
I've just discovered Ken Jennings has been blocked by one of the block lists I've subscribed to and I get it, but the nuclear block means I can't read what he said and the only way to see him again is to unsubscribe to a list that's probably saving me from seeing a lot of other garbage.

"Your dinner party is a political echo chamber. You need to be challenged politically between each course, even though you're mostly chatting about streaming shows and the latest art you made. Without at least two hard-right influencers, it's not a legit dinner party."
Ciara | Ciaraíoch 🎨@ciaraioch.bsky.social · 2d ago"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care
Group chats, like D&D parties, should be no bigger than 5. 6, if the DM has a new girlfriend.
Bluesky@bsky.app · yesterdayUpdate: group chats can now host up to 100 members.
This is such a 2016 take on social media. I see fundraisers everywhere. I see GoFundMes to help people pay their bills. There's trauma dumping left and right. I do not know where New York Magazine is looking.
New York Magazine@nymag.com · yesterdayOn social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?
What in the chicken fried fuck did I just read They’re doing turd eugenics now?

there are definitely downsides to the nuclear block but the reason I keep coming back to it as necessary and good is that it completely ruined the whole MAGA engagement model to the point that they prefer to mock us from the nazi bar rather than come here to troll us directly
John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 2d agoBluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit
