Holy crap. Nixle alert warning of an AT&T 911 outage at 9:13 on May 1st, alert clearing that warning today, May 7th, at 8:40. I can hear the collective eye-rolling of my friends who've provisioned mission critical systems...
"sie privatisieren die infrastruktur und wir weichen zurück!
sie kürzen den sozialstaat und wir weichen zurück!
sie senken die steuern für konzerne und reiche und wir weichen zurück!
aber damit ist jetzt schluss, hier wird der schlussstrich gezogen, bis hierher und nicht weiter!" - captain jean-luc #picard #ahv13
MusicBrainz Picard is really good, open source and cross-platform. If your music folder is a chaotic mess of unsorted, untagged files, give it a try, it works like magic.
for last.fm users dragging their feet like me, because all those 'smart' quotes blow up your last.fm stats: there's an option to dumbify them. i wish i had known this a year earlier #MusicBrainz#LastFM#picard#unicode
Made a brief but enjoyable visit to the offices of Simon & Schuster, to chat with my editors both former & current, as well as with the splendid publicist who is helping to promote my #StarTrek#Picard novel FIREWALL.
While there, I signed 20 copies of Firewall for an upcoming GIVEAWAY, which will pair each copy with a free Fansets replica pin of the Fenris Rangers calling-card transceiver chip. More details to come!

I watch this 2 Parter almost every week now and it's still one of the best #StarTrek 2 parters to me that hasn't lost anything to me no matter how many times I see it.
While I feel #StarTrekPicard gave its titular character (and the rest of #TheNextGeneration cast) a fantastic and worthy send-off, I would never be opposed to another #TNG movie.
Here’s my #BestOf2023 list. It’s subjective, I’m not particularly stringent about criteria, and there’s not rhyme nor reason to my choice of categories.
There are four (unless I add more as the day wears on) categories, each will get its own toot.
I was in the mood for some #StarTrek and put on some early #Picard.
To me it seems strange that in this far future, that people would drink intoxicants (not at social events like in early Trek, but alone and self-destructively) and smoke, including cigars and vapes.
I would have to conclude that sponsor money must be coming in from Big Tobacco and the US Booze industry.
Can Picard be 'Too Star Trek?' Paramount says 'yes.' (trekmovie.com)
The executive producer offered some details on how the second season had to be rewritten based on feedback from Paramount+:...
