  I hate to admit it but Axanar: The Gathering Storm was good much the same as Prelude to Axanar was. The documentary format worked well for them. 8/10 Color me dubious about how an Axanar "film" would turn out. The YouTube clips of action scenes, with multiple actors on screen, don't hit anywhere as well as this documentary format. RIP Richard Hatch and Gary Graham #StarTrek

  I wonder if produce sold primarily in Asian groceries in the US may be safer than all of the produce types being reported unsafe now. Produce in lower demand may not be as factory-farmed as common American household staple produce. Personally, I buy a ton of my produce at Asian groceries. My favorite types of recipes tend to be inspired by Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese cuisine.

  @guinan Question: Any idea why using a VPN to talk to the server is problematic? Thanks!

  You know those moments, in a really good story, when you hit an inflection point and everything changes? I almost wish that I could live within those moments. I think of B5, BSG, and Attack on Titan. If you know any of those stories, you know the moments I'm thinking about. I think it's an autistic thing. Some part of my mind attaches to one of these moments and then I find myself listening to some piece of music from the show on infinite repeat when I'm deliberately try...

  Admission: I find myself increasingly leaning into AI. We've had some *serious shit* come up for our cats, over the past couple years. We've had a couple of them pass during this time. We have three now where two are grappling with serious shit: one with FGESF and another 16 y/o dealing with typical age-related stuff. Claude, in particular, has helped enormously searching for and digging into studies/the underlying medical science to get the best possible treatment. This has he...

  @guinan Sorry. It was my shitty internet connection. My bad!

  iPad Air + Apple Bluetooth keyboard + wifi-tethered hotspot is a surprisingly effective combination. Weighs less than a laptop. Battery life seems on-par with laptops. Use with keyboard or as a tablet. It just *feels* more portable. It's certainly more flexible. Of course, Apple could easily build a MBP with a detachable monitor and Apple Pencil support. They almost certainly don't because they don't want to cannibalize their existing product lines, instead encouraging p...

  @actuallyautistics What follows isn't a cry for help... I don't think? When I'm troubled, I often find myself "info dumping" because I can't identify the need that I'm trying to satisfy. Sitting in this coffee shop, taking my noise cancelling headphones off, I am disoriented. I'm bummed. Grieving. I'm not sure when it will stop. It's been 18 months since the autism diagnosis and 6 years since the ADHD. With the a...

  When they call it "self-storage", I want to imagine a coffin hotel like in Japan. You're storing yourself right? "Self storage" v "self-storage" 😅

  @MostlyHarmless@thecanadian.social @briankrebs@infosec.exchange You mean "1984 Donald J. Trump All Valley Champion" ... says the guy who lives 6 miles from "The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts". I would like to refill my character's timeline, please.

  @autistics @actuallyadhd 14 months since my autism diagnosis. Almost seems as though I've become "more autistic" since. I suspect, though, that's a fresh new hell of autistic burnout setting in perhaps flavored with a splash of depression. Going out on routine errands is exhausting and overwhelming. A simple phone call with a veterinarian's office depletes me. It's difficult to find motivation for damn near anything. There are some relatively n...

  I wish everyone were as considerate of others as so many autistic people I've met. I've known so many where (and often myself am like this) it's so much about putting the other person at ease. Can you imagine a world full of Canadian Standoffs? It'd be terribly awkward but it would also be so much kinder. @autistics @actuallyadhd #actuallyautistic #actuallyaudhd

  If this is more than actual PR, this is so stupidly dangerous. Let's take something fairly random and unpredictable and let it spit out something even more perversely weird and unpredictable. This is going to end so well. /s https://www.axios.com/2026/05/07/anthropic-jack-clark-ai-intelligence-explosion

  @actuallyadhd @autistics I saw a NYT story about autistics working in professional kitchens. It occurred to me to ask folks in /r/kitchenconfidential for their experiences with autistics in kitchens—not for me but for the community here and on autistic subreddits. I think you'll be pleased by the response. In a nutshell: a LOT of folks in professional kitchens are autistic, AuDHD, or ADHD. I imagine that they're L1 or 2. https://www.reddit.com/r/KitchenConfidential/s/rUwpUJBSsJ...

  I wrote "Happy First Contact Day" to my in-laws. It was in jest. They're Catholic. They know about as little about Star Trek as someone with the vaguest notion of pop culture can. You see, I tend to send them humor that they don't understand. At first, that wasn't by design. Now, it's humor that I know they won't understand. Today, I suddenly realized that, now, it's an unconsciously sardonic, passive aggresive, and even perhap...

  Argh. Really want to take the wife to see Hail Mary and really really don't want to go to a movie theater. 🤦‍♂️ Movie theaters have been ruined for me since March 2020. Unless it's a matinee and basically empty, nope. And most of the fun of going to the theater is the social experience. May just wear a Hazmat suit for Avengers: Doomsday. No way I'd miss a "Cap wielding Mjolnir"-type experience in the theater.
