I've long wanted to make Shaxs ear rings, although I only have a red Lower Decks uniform right now because I did Boimler last year, and I've toyed with the idea of reusing it to do a Vendome this year (probably won't happen, honestly), so it'll be a while before I can rationalize getting another Starfleet uniform.

Wasn’t sure how good this would be, but that was rather fun.
I was tempted to diss the banjo ship for being too generic a space ship, but it’s just so well executed I can’t.
Now, I what I really think we need is a full orchestra arrangement of “Faith of the Heart” done in a full orchestra arrangement like a classic theme. All there is right now is the crappy MIDI where they just changed a few instruments but didn’t change the arrangement.
Second result for search terms “O’Brien must suffer meme”
I thought for a split second this was just a repost of the one with Chief O’Brien, but was pleasantly surprised.
Frankly, I lack an understanding of the disdain for "All I Want For Christmas Is You" - I have heard much more annoying Christmas songs. It may be a bit cloying and heavily pop, but I think it's well executed, at least compared to almost any Christmas song put out by a major artist in the 21st century. Also, I think My Chemical Romance pulled off a rather good cover that perhaps beats the original.
Maybe part of it is I have a 5 hour personal/family Christmas playlist that reduces the amount of repeated listens to a more manageable degree. In addition to more well-known ones and several covers, it is also filled to the brim with alternative and indie Christmas music - Jonathan Coulton especially is good at making atypical holiday songs that don't get annoying.
You’re a top tier OC maker.
I’ll look into that. Thanks.
This might be right. I mean, Migleemo also doesn’t wear a standard uniform:
Ubuntu doesn’t deserve Uhura. 🤣
But in all seriousness, guess I’m a Denobluan now, minus the polyamory.
I view satirical voice impression and speech synthesis of a real person as two different ethical issues entirely.
I find impressions intended for satire fall within the real of the first amendment, while the latter can be an unwelcome appropriation of identity when done wrong.
I mean, the creator of Dilbert is basically option 2 incarnate in the most terrifying way possible, so it makes sense.

I know that this one's been tackled twenty thousand million times and you're probably tired of seeing time loop memes by now, but like the urge to stick Gowron eyes on everything in the universe, I couldn't resist this intrinsic urge.

I recently got a rather pristine copy of They Might Be Giants' 1996 single S-E-X-X-Y, mostly for a few bonus tracks unavailable on streaming. Like, it was in shrink wrap with hype sticker, albeit shrink wrap on its last legs - good enough that the rest of it was still in near mint condition, but too damaged for it to be worth keeping on, so I took a 2400 DPI scan of the hype sticker and removed it. Don't worry - I kept the hype sticker.
I want to keep it very fresh - I ripped the CD to my PC and plan on never taking it out of the case again. For now, I have put a zip lock around the case to prevent it gathering dust or getting fingerprints from handling.
However, since it's an FLP case, I am more worried about the case being crushed than a typical jewel case. While I don't plan on getting too ruff with it, I want something a bit harder.
Thus, I was wondering if any of you guys have any particular strategy for this case?
I've looked into CD display cases, but am otherwise having trouble finding results that aren't just CD jewel cases. I was thinking maybe something like the anti-theft containers retailers keep video games in, if they ever made a CD-sized version.

I'm usually not one to beat a dead ~~Reman~~ ~~horse~~ being, but I had to point this one out.
As it turns out, besides also playing background characters in every episode Quimp appeared in, Tom Kenny also played Mariner's ex Malvus in "An Embarrassment of Dooplers", D'Onni in "We'll Always Have Tom Paris", the Ferengi antagonists of "Mugato Gumato", and several background characters in each of those episodes.

In the pilot, they depict Mojave, California as being very terraformed from a desert to a lush parkland.
However, I find this a bit antiquated... this seems to be very much rooted in an atomic age scientific idealism that thought of how we could make the world work for us and bring it to more western standards of natural beauty.
I think this is in conflict with the TNG solar punk aesthetic and the general respect for nature implied by the Prime Directive - notice how there's no desert bushes in sight as if they wiped them out. This seems to be insane damage to the ecosystem.
I wonder if they'll ever revisit Mojavo on-screen, and whether they'll retcon this so that Mojave is a gorgeous desert town where they solved the problems of drought and extreme heat plaguing the southwestern US while working in tandem with and even boosting the local wildlife, rather than just razing everything and plastering grass and non-native trees over it.
I'd bet we probably only have 3 seasons for it to happen, considering that 5 seasons has tended to be the length of most recent Trek shows (except poor old Prodigy). The only thing giving me hope is that SNW seems to be a decently successful series.

Part of me wants to create a content fork of Memory Alpha that's independently hosted. A couple years ago, I was messing with creating an LCARS skin, but didn't get beyond a really janky proof of concept (https://gitlab.com/dexcube/lcars-mediawiki-skin); knowing more about MediaWiki skins now and wanting to redesign this for usability, I would probably rewrite this from the ground up now.
However, part of me also wants to do a wiki for the band Cheekface, since it doesn't have much in the way of online documentation and their back catalog is getting larger. Also, even relatively in-depth coverage of the band is a much smaller undertaking than managing decades of canon.
