Oh my, I thought this was a joke!

I’m using 2 extensions from the Firefox store, Simple Translate and Translate This Page. If one goes down, I use the other. Sometimes I use translate.yandex.ru as well.

I’ve had a Twitter acct for a long time, and I still use it. I’ve curated my feed to contain virology/epidemiology specialists, independent journalists, and eye candy. I have 2 ways of finding people to follow. 1. When I’m reading on the internet and find something I like, I look to see whether they’ve got a Twitter acct. 2. If someone comments intelligently on a good post, I check their profile. If they post stuff worth reading, I follow them. As for eye candy, I’m attracted to ancient stuff. There are several archaeologists who post.

I’ve “followed” several people from Twitter on Mastodon. I can’t see them in my feed, but I can view the list of people I’ve followed and click on them. For now, their Mastodon posts come from bots that echo their Twitter posts. It looks like everyone’s hedging their bets. If I need to leave Twitter, I can still access most of the info I’m used to getting from there.

Twitter’s not completely a cesspool yet.

Tried Nostr. Mostly crypto.

I’d love to know how it works out for you. There’s no cell signal where I live, so calling & messaging is all over internet, anyway.

Humor me here, please. Everyone else sang in voices you could expect from their characters. Why was Klingon singing, alone, breaking character?

I dunno. I see Klingons as extremely old-school, culturally. They treasure old ways of fighting (bat’leth, qutlutch), worship (Kahless, dark, candle-lit spaces), being (honor bordering on chivalry, belonging to the house of one’s father), and singing (manly voices–Michael Dorn even lowered his speaking voice for TNG). For me, hearing Klingon high-pitched voices during a crisis was analogous to hearing “Eek! A mouse!” It was funny, but I’m still experiencing cognitive dissonance.

YES!

They played it well. It was jarring, and I laughed, and I was disappointed.

How do I get to bonus features?

Why not? Christine & Nyota had a great time.

I liked seeing La’an’s character develop in this one.

Gosh, will Spock and Chapel survive this time?!

No, that’s how they get back to the canon. Sad. I’m as confused as you about the Gorn, though. I’m also wondering about the affable/bloodthirsty crew and trying to make sense of the title, “Hegemony.” Here’s one way might make sense: The demarcation line was a power play, kind of like NATO moving to Russia’s back yard or Russia reclaiming Crimea. Pike crosses it, another power play. Are we looking at a battle for unipolar power? Depicting the crew as both affable and bloodthirsty might be a way of holding up a mirror to ourselves. The Gorn are from hell. Demonizing people makes it easier to kill them. Interestingly, toward the end of the episode, Pike has a sentence about understanding the Gorn. Don’t groan. All Star-Trek series have included social commentary. (Remember Pelia’s comment, a couple of episodes ago, about holding onto valuable art in case this no-money experiment in socialism were to fail?)

Yandex is working so nicely for me lately–even better than Firefox. I think any possible spying by Russian capitalists or government will have little to no effect on my life.
