'We invited biologists but they didn’t want to go because they said there’s nothing going on there. We constantly remind them they weren’t there when we made this historic biological discovery; we have to rub it in.’
Just had a wonderful afternoon tea at Emperor Georgiou’s Tea Room in Portland. I’ll try to remember to share photos later after the 2.5 hour drive home. https://www.emperorgeorgiou.black
How do the comm badges on #Discovery know where to transport their wearer to? Is the computer reading their minds, or do they tap it differently for various presets?
Latest season of #Discovery is such a circle jerk. Every single episode is a rehash of a TNG-era plot. Easter egg threads? Yeah that stopped being cool a couple of seasons ago, how about some original stories?
Not sure if other people do this, but I use notifications of favorites/boosts as a discovery mechanism for accounts to possibly follow.
I mean it's a potential sign they have similar interests, so might as well visit the profile and see if they post interesting stuff you want to see more of.
I'll often favorite a few posts along the way too, which I hope doesn't seem too weird to people!
This week's episode of #StarTrek#Discovery (with the "time bug") was my favorite Trek thing in ages. It was classic Trek, including a strong theme of problem-solving and cooperation and listening to others. And Sonequa Martin-Green knocked it out of the park. I found the ending incredibly moving.

An account using the name & photo of #Michigan#BarryCounty Sheriff lawbreaker & [#ConspiracyTheorist] #DarLeaf released >2,100 pages of emails from employees of Dominion; the company says Leaf improperly accessed internal msgs via breach of a #CourtOrder.
On Friday, attorneys for #Dominion filed an emergency motion in federal #court in Washington, DC, arguing in favor of a judge disqualifying Lambert from providing #legal help in the #defamation case, contending she had improperly shared w/ #DarLeaf confidential records, provided under a #ProtectiveOrder through document #discovery in the #lawsuit.
It started with a tip from the local #FirstNation of a “bump on the sea floor” where the fish liked to be & led to the #discovery of #Canada’s only known live #CoralReef.
Deep sea #ecologist Cherisse Du Preez worked with the #KitasooXaixais & #Heiltsuk First Nations & began searching for the #Lophelia coral #reef in 2021, taking a remote-controlled submersible deep into the ocean in #FinlaysonChannel, about 500 kms NW of Vancouver.
What a #discovery! Quelle #découverte! Noir Désir, Le vent nous portera. #Music#Video#Musique#Clip. Magnifique. Reminds me of a spectacular time spent with my mother on #Breton beaches back in ‘73 as my father worked in the #archives. Magnifique! Those days ended in the light not the dark! #Brittany

Pythagoras was wrong: There are no universal musical harmonies, study finds
The tone and tuning of musical instruments has the power to manipulate our appreciation of harmony, new research shows. The findings challenge centuries of Western music theory and encourage greater experimentation with instruments from different cultures.
Bryce is a magical, unusual, fascinating place. May the artwork take you to this unique landscape, where you can immerse yourself in its beauty, wildness, and silence.
"Two extraordinary uLSSs (ultra-large-scale structures) in such close configuration raises the possibility that together they form an even more extraordinary cosmological system."
My only regret in starting Boyf with season 3 of Star Trek: Discovery (with recaps so he was all caught up beforehand) is that he will never know the sheer villainous Majesty of Lorca or Leland/LelandControl.
I kinda loved hating those guys.
Jason Isaacs and Alan van Sprang really Understood The Assignment - and ran with it.
