I'm wondering if there are any points where you would have to split episodes? Thinking end of TNG and first half of DS9?

A highly detailed, digitally colorized archival photograph of the pioneering experimental physicist Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu. She is positioned in the center of a complex mid-20th-century physics laboratory. Dr. Wu is smiling warmly and looking directly into the camera with an expression of calm, approachable brilliance. She has neatly styled dark hair and is wearing a crisp white laboratory coat over a dark, high-collared shirt. The digital colorization process brings realistic, warm skin tones and vibrant depth to the historic scene. Surrounding her is a spectacularly intricate maze of scientific equipment used for her groundbreaking parity violation experiments. The apparatus includes gleaming silver metal cylinders, delicate glass vacuum tubes, thick electrical wiring, large magnetic coils, and heavy steel framing. The lifelike color highlights the contrast between her confident posture and the massive technical complexity of the supercooled machinery she mastered to rewrite the laws of physics. At the bottom, a credit line reads: Original photograph by the Smithsonian Institution Archives, digital colorization by Seriously Scientific.
Remembering Chien Shiung Wu on International Women's Day!
Physicists thought the universe was perfectly symmetrical. By freezing radioactive atoms near absolute zero, Wu proved them wrong!
She found nature is actually "left-handed," fundamentally shattering the Law of Parity! 🧲⚛️

African American chemist Alice Ball in her laboratory around 1915. She is wearing a white lab coat and a patterned blue scarf, holding a glass test tube and using a pipette to precisely transfer a liquid from a small vial. This scene represents her development of the "Ball Method," where she transformed thick Chaulmoogra tree oil into a soluble, injectable treatment for leprosy. The dark wooden laboratory bench is filled with period-accurate glassware, glass stir rods, and amber-colored bottles containing the raw oil. In the background, a metal centrifuge and laboratory cabinetry are visible. The image captures the specific moment Alice created the medical breakthrough that saved thousands from forced exile. Digital restoration and colorization by Seriously Scientific.
Remembering Alice Ball on International Women's Day!
At just 24, this brilliant chemist developed the first effective treatment for leprosy.
Her 'Ball Method' made Chaulmoogra oil injectable, saving thousands of people from lifelong isolation and exile. 🧪💉

A row of debug PS2 consoles with names including DENNIS HOPPER (reliable, runs old games and test code), RASPUTIN (very old + dead), and JOHNNY CASH (old and unreliable).
Old photo from the PSM days. Debug PS2s were so temperamental that we had to give them names to reflect their personalities. They all had their own quirks and flaws and weird sounds they made. Some would run certain games, others wouldn't. Not pictured: Tom Cruise, the one that always worked.
Macro photo of a brown stink bug in face view on a leaf, guarding a tightly-clustered bunch of eggs that are shaped and colored exactly like a full tray of dark beer with foam on top.
Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.
Finally got round to writing about my favourite PlayStation One game case - the hot mess that is Epidemic...

Watched Stargate (1994) and this mf is 100% the ref for Otacon in MGS:
✅ Same haircut and glasses
✅ Partnered with a spec ops military guy played by Kurt Russell (who played Snake Plissken,known inspiration for Solid Snake)
✅ Named "Hal Emmerich" same surname as Roland Emmerich, director of Stargate
Thoughts after replaying a couple of the SimCity games, and how a single, straightforward decision can change the entire feel of a game
very important video please watch

I did my own commentary on the Olympics live on Twitch in 2021 and within two hours of starting with a grand total of about 100 viewers my stream was cancelled after a complaint by the IOC, I had received a legal warning and was banned from streaming for 72 hours.
That's how you get zero stutters in your game. You're welcome, game industry. #uetips

I recently found some Platinum releases of Final Fantasy VIII and IX have the PSP hologram stuck on the case, so I had to get myself a copy!

Bernie Sanders meme, with text as follows: I am once again updating my mega post about how awful the Cass Review is.
Happy Friday 13th! To celebrate the success of the UK establishment's continued "clarity" on trans exclusion, I am delighted to share a major update to my blog post "What's wrong with the Cass Review?"
The biggest change is an entirely new section on harms caused.

The entire British media fabricated a "scandal" at Tavistock and there were only 8 complaints over an entire decade. Yet the most actual common issues were about access to care and waiting lists.
