  • Projection TVs were a problem to a problem.

    The only good thing about them was that Weird Al wrote a song about a 2,000inch TV that towered over a city.

    “Robert DeNiro’s mole has gotta be 12 feet long!”

  • gravity
  • It’s weird because the voice I created in my head is almost exactly the same as the show, just more nasally.

    But their behavior in the show is way different from how I picture the comic characters would behave.

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
  • I missed the part where Aol. was promoting toxicity and hate while attempting a short-term grift on its users like Reddit and X have.

    That fact that Aol. is still alive is amazing by itself. It’s just another sleazy, beleaguered company that used to be meaningful. You leave because other companies have better products, not because they offend your sense of morality.

    (Or maybe they do.)

  • How Star Trek’s First Space Battle Defined the Genre

    It cannot be overstated how limited budgets led to some of the best writing on TV. And this episode is one of the best-written in the entire franchise.

    It's also my absolute favorite shot of Uhura:

    !Lieutenant Uhura, sitting at the Navigation console, watching the Romulan ship explode on the viewscreen along with Lieutenant Sulu and Captain Kirk at their respective stations.

    Ensign Skippy was getting a little too political, so Uhura replaced him and fired the death blow against the Romulan Bird of Prey. And she just leans back and takes it in during this dolly shot of the bridge. Stone Cold.

    It reads, “ My son just got me out of talking to a door-to-door cable salesman so I guess parenthood was all worth it.”

    Tokyo Disney - a community about Tokyo Disney Resort and More!

    !tokyodisney@lemmy.world

    c/tokyodisney is all about the unique theme parks in Japan, but it’s also about Disney in Japan in general.

    Anything from discussion about Disney’s cultural impact on Japan (and visa versa) to videos and photos and whatever else. Ask questions about vacationing at the resort or talk about the weird history of Disney breaking into the Japanese market.

    I created this community because I missed the Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea subreddits, so I thought why not bundle them together and expand the scope to include all of Disney as it relates to Japan and Japanese culture?

    I hope to see others contribute, or at least pay a visit.

    Private messages keep auto-scrolling to the end of the conversation at a regular interval

    When viewing a conversation in the latest iOS app, you are automatically returned to the current end of it every several seconds, which makes reading old posts difficult.

    As if it’s refreshing or checking for new messages and forgetting where you were in conversation. I don’t remember this being a problem in the past.

    Also, a graphical bug. When composing a long message the text can overlap the send button. The button still works, but it’s hard to see what you’re typing.

    Add: I just checked, both of these bugs occur on the web version of Voyager as well.

    My Star Trek Chronological Viewing Lists

    I made a joke post about watching all of Star Trek again and some people asked me about my viewing order,so I decided to make a more formal post about it.

    (Save this post, I will be updating it as time goes on)

    Let me explain sum up; I ascribe to the idea of three distinct timelines. One involving all of the original set of series and movies, one for the alternate timeline movies ,and one for the current set of series. This isn't a post to argue about what order is more accurate, this is just my collection of lists for others to enjoy if they so desire. I have my rationales for organizing everything this way.

    (I'm really distracted by important things right now, so I will have to add the others later. I also already know that there are a number of errors with the first list, I will update it in the future. Until then, enjoy.)

    Star Trek: Continues can be watched for free on YouTube & here.
