We’re watching an episode of Star Trek?

• Which one?

Troi’s mother is on board. She is horny.

• That doesn’t even narrow down which show it is, never mind what episode

To which god do I need to offer a blood sacrifice to in order to transfer some music files to a god damned iPhone in 2024? Where did the basic ability to sync albums, songs, and playlists go?

I'm re-reading Lord of the Rings for the first time since I originally read it at like age 12. I'm only 5 chapters in, but I'm blown away by how different it is from the films.

I've seen the films dozens of times and on a high level are a pretty representative take on the book. But so many of the actual events are totally different in the book, holy crap.

Honestly makes me appreciate the films even more, they did a great job streamlining the book while keeping the essence.

Looking at some Yen Huh, it's weird how where some other currency would probably put a portrait, the yen just has a blank white oval. Is this a reference to the holes in east Asian coins, or…? Looking closer Wait holds up to the lightbulb Holy shit

The bills are held up to a light. The white circles in the center now show faces within them.

Can anyone explain to me why so many Americans identify as their great grandmother's nationality and also dislike immigrants at the same time?

What's so special about being 12.5% "Irish" or whatever anyway?

Ugh. Sverige now will not offer the updated Omicron COVID-19 vaccines until November 7.

I have to travel internationally for work on November 4. I was hoping to have some factual statement to calm my illness anxiety with.

I’m passing the time while ill with Covid by binge watching Steven Universe. I’m still completely astonished at how good this checks notes children’s cartoon is.

Rebecca Sugar is an astonishing creator, author, artist, and musician.

I made the terrible mistake of dimly remembering that the Portuguese man-o-war is not a jellyfish so trying to find out what they actually are

Anyway turns out they are floating colonies of at least 4 specialised organisms and science doesn't actually know anything about the early stages of their development, and there's at least one bit on the sex module (which they have, and it fucking swims off) that science no idea what it does.
