I’ve come to the realisation that unlike many ex-Twitter (pun intended) users, I don’t care much for replicating that experience and I’m all for a new different one. Hence why I like it here but not so much the Twitter clone that is bsky.
Another realisation I just recently had is that I use mastodon (and Twitter before) more as a platform to discover content. So basically an aggregator. I’m thinking of exploring RSS feed readers…

@drmambobob I recommend the NetNewsWire RSS app.

I logged into my Bluesky account last night for the first time in six months. It was pretty quiet in my feed, and a lot of the accounts I followed when I signed up, even the big names, have become inactive. Are Bluesky users migrating elsewhere, or just quitting social media altogether?

@drmambobob Boo to that.

@SailorDisco I've only logged in two or three times. I downloaded the app yesterday to see if that encourages me to check more often.

@drmambobob Sad but seems to be the case.

@ashtardeza I'm wondering how many of them have gone to Threads. I'm not on there so wouldn't know.

I just got an adjusted benefits check from my former job for eight cents. I’ll have to figure out how to spend my new found fortune.

Ok guy if you were in the captain's chair what would be your thing?

You know your thing, the thing you say to make the ship jump to warp.

Personally I'm quite partial to "punch it!"

Today's 3 good things:

  1. My friend Rick's Chocolate Lab gave birth, and now he has 9 tiny Labrador puppies in the house! (It means he can't come out to watch rugby on the weekend, but that's a very cool excuse)

  2. We have inherited a tonne of leeks. We both love leeks. Leeks will be on the menu all week!

  3. Our local supermarket came good on the 3 for £10 meat deal, so we have duck and venison fillets too 😀

Gonna celebrate Threshold Day by starting a rumour that the lizard babies will join the cast in season 2 of Prodigy.

@lizbarr I can see them making an appearance in "Lower Decks".

I’m considering a migration to tenforward.social at some point.

Pros of joining this instance: it’s well-established, with an excellent admin and moderation, and the code of conduct, server rules, and policies align with my values.

Are there any cons I should be aware of?

@lothcat@mastodon.social avatar

In "Galaxy's Child", La Forge's response to Leah Brahms calling out his over-familiarity and telling him off for creating the holographic simulation of her has not aged well. She didn't give consent, so she has a right to feel violated.

@lothcat@mastodon.social avatar

@ninedragons Ugh. I read the outfit was so form-fitting she literally had to be sewn into it.

lothcat,
@lothcat@mastodon.social avatar

@ninedragons I noticed that too. It was routinely so stereotypical it came across as cartoonish.

lothcat,
@lothcat@mastodon.social avatar

@ninedragons It seems like this sort of thing should have been regulated as a workplace health and safety issue.

lothcat,
@lothcat@mastodon.social avatar

@ninedragons This is the episode/story arc that immediately came to mind when you mentioned cultural stereotyping.

Very insightful review, and it examined the sexual double standards of "Star Trek" really well.

lothcat,
@lothcat@mastodon.social avatar

@ninedragons I hope they do, as dehydration can cause serious complications.

lothcat,
@lothcat@mastodon.social avatar

@ninedragons I just came across this article, and the original costume was even more disturbing than I'd heard before.

@ninedragons Well said. I love the ethos of "Lower Decks", and how openly and honestly they address past issues.

@jxself Real TARDISes. Clean, fast, and inexpensive transportation that doesn't require fuel, and it doubles as affordable mobile housing with no property tax or utility bills.
