The Fediverse is about to get a lot weirder…

I’m unfortunately not free tomorrow, but Apocalyptica is pretty great. Anyone who has the opportunity to see them should take it.

Well technically that would be a cancellation, not a shelving. 😁

But I’m honestly not worried - even if Disney doesn’t renew, the property is a cash cow for the BBC, and I think they’d keep it going.

I either missed this, or is has been added to the article:

Audio recording from Pearson’s air traffic control tower shows that Delta Air Lines Flight 4819 was cleared to land shortly after 2 p.m. and that the tower warned the pilots of a possible air flow “bump” in the glide path from an aircraft in front of it, according to a report from The Canadian Press.

So wake turbulence could be a factor.

For a plane to completely go over like that, I would have to think it was significantly overspeed…

To say nothing of,

[Cindy] Blackstock said Canada has never provided supporting documentation for its claims of misuse, and that there is no evidence of how widespread the problem is.

For sure, I get it. I wish .world federation was more reliable, but we seem to run into challenges a couple times per year. We’re always looking to improve stuff like that.

dunking on how our instance is a ghost town

Not really your point, but I can’t help but have some thoughts on this:

1. Ultimately, the instance is exactly as active as its users want it to be, for better or worse.

2. If we were overly concerned about size, we’d have stayed on Reddit.

I was able to find a couple of things I found interesting about Section 31, but I had to dig pretty deep to do it.

I don’t think there’s any question that it was well-liked by the fandom.

However, I used to check in with Parrot Analytics fairly frequently - they’re a site that purports to measure the overall “demand” of a series through a variety of means that I don’t fully understand…but the industry uses their metrics.

“Lower Decks” was typically the second-lowest “in demand” new series - only “Prodigy” had a lower score.

That said, the demand for all of the new series was categorized as “outstanding.”

The War Between the Land and the Sea looks to be just that, but sadly Freema-free.

Oh good, my map edits were accepted!

Yeah, the unrequited crush story did not do her any favours, but they left her in an interesting place.

I doubt they use antimatter reactors planetside - very risky, and antimatter don’t come cheap. They likely rely on fusion more than anything.

But hey, the wind is free. Why wouldn’t you use it?

I’ve seen a few episodes here and there. It’s charming, and doesn’t take itself too seriously (or, honestly, very seriously at all).

I will say that S4 gets better as it goes along, and a lot of people would cite it as their favourite.

I honestly think season three is one of the best overall seasons of any Trek series. It’s got good energy, and I’ve talked pretty extensively about why I think the ending is pretty great, actually.

killing Book’s family was kind of idiotic

The poor species was doomed once they were revealed to be spore drive-compatible. They were never going to take away the lead ship’s unique feature.

Also, background character development feels a bit weak.

I’ve probably talked about this before as well, but I think Disco was pretty experimental with the extended cast - they essentially gave what would have been wordless extras on other shows and gave them a bit more to do.

Ultimately, I think it was a bit of a failed experiment, but at least some talented Canadian actors were able to pad their resumes.

Time will tell on that one.

I think I read that Giamatti’s character has a connection to one of the leads, so I’m kind of hoping he’s someone’s Bad Dad.

That is not what this article is about.
