Finally, RockLove have gotten the Picard d’ja pagh restocked! I won’t spoil Picard season 3, but this earring was featured in an episode. Not only was it featured but the actual prop was designed by the CEO of RockLove. The one they sell is made from the same molds.

I had this before but the chain on it broke. So happy I can buy another.

EDIT: If anyone was wondering if they had a Kira Nerys d’ja pagh, yes. It is currently in stock. I wear mine a lot. All my earrings are Star Trek related. https://www.rocklove.com/products/star-trek-x-rocklove-kira-nerys-bajoran-cuff-earring

I want to live in a world where a person like Kor can accept a person like Dax.

If you have not seen this documentary, you now have no excuse. Go watch it.

In “The Ultimate Computer”, the duotronic M-5 computer was deemed a failure which sent its creator Richard Daystrom into a nervous breakdown. Not only did Daystrom experience psychological distress (probably the most polite way to describe it), but was responsible for a machine that killed upwards of 53 people.

Why would a person responsible for the invention of a computer that unintentionally killed (unintentionally as in, not ordered to do so) get their name enshrined? Is there anything to explain why such a troubled person that ended up killing others in a quest to eliminate the risk of human death, would inspire anyone to name an organization after them?

EDIT: I need to add some complicating facts to this. “Chose Your Pain” (DIS season 1 episode 5) gives Daystrom Institute a founding date of 2256, which is before TOS. So based on comments, likely the duotronic computer is why the name was picked.

He probably thinks he deserves it and never actually said he wanted any.

At this point, looking at this vehicle with your naked eyes is bound to cause damage.

If someone falsely accuses you of anything, assume they did that first. Investigate the accuser.

I like to point to Idiocracy (a movie you couldn’t make today but I saw for the first time in 2024; I think it was good) which Crocs are used as shoes for the future because they were not widely available and the costume designer said “There's no way people will wear them.”

I stand vindicated that Crocs are idiotic.

I’m pretty sure this is in response to a recent California bill that forces digital storefronts to disclose if it is a license you are getting. Otherwise the storefront is not allowed to use words like “buy” or “purchase”.

Shouldn’t Church and State doctrine (or whatever it is called) immediately make all of this illegal?

I guess none of you noticed the editorial board has a signature from Ted Kaczynski, aka Unabomber.

I fucking hate Blanco. I live in the county he is in. When the pandemic hit in 2020, he openly reported to the public that he would not enforce the health orders the county was issuing. On top of that he had many, many of his deputies die in the prison system due to COVID, plus the jail system in the county has been criticized for issues under his watch. Maybe worst of all, he was a member of Oath Keepers.

I fucking hate this dude. To make the matters worse again, back in March, the Riverside County Supervisors voted against separating the Sheriff’s Department from the Corner’s office. Apparently there have been a number of unexplained(?) deaths in the jail system that the department has not investigated after receiving complaints from families.

He is one of the worst people in elected office in Riverside County. Somehow people keep voting for him.

No shock here. A majority of the world is on a stance of “anything/anyone against the state of Israel is antisemitism”. This is such a false equivalency. Just because something/someone is against what the government of Israel, does not mean it/they are hateful towards the Jewish people. Hell, making such an equivalency is placing actually Jewish people in an unintended hate group.
