Oh shit that was a bit of a jumpscare when I saw it.

Batel regenerated into the statue. Including glowy regeneration energy hands.
She’s the Doctor and the statue is a portal to another universe, on the other side of which Tecteun finds her. And then, MUCH later, she comes back to spend time with Pelia. That was her in the Tardis in The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail, trying to watch over Pike.
I’m going to stop headcanoning now.

Kirk-Spock interactions
I don’t know, it reminded me a BIT too much of how Supernatural handled (or didn’t really) two certain characters.

The point of advertising is to keep your brand in the public conversation. Whether that conversation is in favour of your brand or not is secondary at best. First and foremost you want people to know about your brand.

It’s kicking upwards. US-American culture dominates globally, the US is the most powerful nation on the globe. It is okay, might even be necessary, to poke fun at it.

Is the mildly infuriating part that “the internet” is not “the US”?

I appreciate the thought but I can manage and I’d rather avoid buying even more shit that’ll be entirely obsolete in a few years. :)

Yep. That sounds about right in the year of Our Lord Yog Sothoth 2025 in the planet’s richest country.

Oh I wasn’t dismissing this as a non-issue or anything, it’s clearly bullshit and yet another reason for you to burn cars and billionaires. But I remember when I first heard about this, specifically the “(file) for free” was INCREDIBLY confusing because as ridiculous many, many things the US does may seem to me, (what I understood as) the notion of paying your government a fee to process your taxes was juuust a bit too far out.
You CAN still do it on your own though, just not online, yeah?

My headphones are at least 10 years old (August EP650), I’d highly recommend them if they didn’t use micro USB. So does my portable mini-fan. Life ruined.
- Comment on Bring out the trumpets and pour out the beer 3 weeks ago:
Fellow non-USians: no they don’t have to pay their government for the privilege of being allowed to file their taxes. “For free” here means “without the help of a tax accountant (and online)”. I was SO SO SO confused.

- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 4 weeks ago:
I agree, definitely. But here we are, the reality is that people read first paragraphs at best (which there can be valid reasons for) and take away “ah yes, Hawking radiation is a thing black holes do, science says so”. A reader who is interested further and has the mental capacities after working 8 hours 5 days a week to scroll down and read about experimental observations might also realise “oh wait, it isn’t actually clear whether it does exist” but you can’t expect that from everybody (unfortunate as that may be).
This particular instance may be harmless because it probably doesn’t affect anything in everyday life. But in general I think a first paragraph in an encyclopaedic source that wants to inform the general public should be very clear about it when a thing is hypothesised and hasn’t been shown to exist.

They… don’t like cars? I suppose?
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 4 weeks ago:
Okay, might have worded tat better. It says “The radiation was not predicted by previous models” and “is predicted to be extremely faint”, not “it is predicted to exist” - and also “[it] is many orders of magnitude below […]” which sounds like a statement of fact. I realise this may be nitpicky but I don’t know if people who don’t know anything about the subject would interpret that as “we don’t really know if it even exists yet”.
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 4 weeks ago:
Yes, I know, but realistically, many (most?) people just want brief, general information, which is what the introductory paragraph is for, no? So I’d argue it should say “hypothesised” or “predicted” somewhere in the, ideally, first sentence.
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 4 weeks ago:
That’s a hypothesis though, right? They haven’t detected any yet afaik (which the article could make clearer in its introduction).

Headcanon accepted. I choose to believe that John Williams spends his time on some bus in (what looks like, judging from the surrounding ten pixels) some central European city reading sheet music.
