Cassidy Yates on DS9
Finding alternate readings for the one-of-a-kind graphic design:
Dog being threatened with Swiss cheese on a stick
Saturday Night Fever life jacket
Lifeboat intimate encounter with a merperson
Watching people on the bigger routes struggle with luggage that could be checked for free
Those cases have a limited binding domain though
In our super technical lingo, -ing gerund clauses are sometimes controlled via binding
That ys me yn the corner
That ys me yn the

lighte
puttinge lyke fyve paragraphs of texte on an individual powerpoynte slyde
Too busy coping with the fact Iβm older than Howard Cunningham
I will also tolerate cameras on the front of public transit vehicles to record people parking/standing in bus stops
Can you share the frame?
Ewoks and Droids adventure hour is for sure in there
TBH, I think this is mostly a reflection of how completely ineffectual Nenshi has turned out to be
I can hear this one
I am still working through a stash of ones that I⦠liberated from the stockroom of a former workplace
Tough choice at 6:30, but going Lost in Space, French Chef because nothing else looks good, then Danny Thomas (hat tip to the Golden Girls joke about his being Lebanese) and wow does it sound like those courtship rituals on Danny Kaye probably aged badly
I was saying that AgrOP and AgrSP were like magic eye posters and hypercolor shirts. Seemed like a good idea in the 90s, now maybe youβll stumble on one in the back of a closet somewhere

50/50 on references today:
Landed a tossed-off comment about not obeying the laws of thermodynamics in this house, but nobody could figure out a Magic Eye image when I used it as an example of something that was really big in the 90s, but not anymore
Iβm already dreading the confusion when making calls to home
Iβm all over that show with the astronauts, but might flip over to Ascent of Man after the first hour and a half
I mean, I could add some spice to the opening of the film by sharing the speculation about what goes on between Sybok and Jβonn that is developed in a podcast I listen to
Stephen Yan on set of his cooking show. Todayβs apron pun is βwok on the wild sideβ
Probably either two hours of Mad TV or Married with Children reruns followed by my perennial disappointment that Martin Yan is not Stephen Yan
The Alastair Sim version of A Christmas Carol
The Zefirelli Romeo and Juliet
The Outsiders
ET (the whole school got this in 35mm in the dramnasium)
La Guerre des Tuques (French original, not the Anglo dub)
The OJ verdict live on CNN
Hey, I ainβt complaining
As long as they left on the ocean
The execution of Zaphod Beeblebroxβs remark that hyperspace travel is unpleasantly like being drunk
Like good poutine then
Can we say something about season 3 TOS has one episode where Kirk is kidnapped to help repopulate a species, and there is literally a cut to him putting his boots on afterwards, alongside another where he is kidnapped to transmit an STI?
My first thought was a physical manifestation of the Mentat βIt is by will alone I set my mind in motionβ
Can I use this when grading?
This article immediately labels @emilymbender.bsky.social and I as "curmudgeons" because we don't think that the spicy auto complete has a concept of the self.
