one of the final shots of "star trek: the next generation" finale episode "all good things", an overhead shot of a round poker table around which the main characters are gathered. captain picard finally joins the crew, dealing cards around the table.
you might remember that we had regular “MLT3K” group watches of movies and TV through the pandemic. believe it or not, we’ve kept at least one going in the years since, a semi-regular star trek group watch.
we worked our way through all of TOS, and then through all of TNG. after the better part of 5 years, we are at last coming up on our FINAL TNG viewing, the top notch finale “all good things”.
i know it’s short notice, but if you’d like to join us, we will be convening on the MLT3K slack around 7PM CST. we’ll sync up one last time on the channel and breeze through this gorgeous feature-length episode.
please contact me (comment here with your info, or email nicholasmatthewgarcia [at-a-the] gmail) if you need an invite to the slack channel.
but even if you miss this one, i’m sure we’ll be watching something new after this. i’ll try to keep you updated.
cheers!

Marched in a rally against sexual violence last month after the Cornell 7 case emerged.
I'm pretty disgustipated by the heinous treatment that too many men give to women, from the wink-and-nod given our child-rapist president to the brutish institutional sexism of the Hegseth generation to the porn-trained abuse on dates that folks report too often in online forums https://www.reddit.com/r....
So. Very. Wrong.

Photo of a dark brown cat lying on asphalt, perhaps sleeping. Brightly colored red/orange/yellow leaves are placed along the back from neck to tail, as well as feet, which, combined with the cat’s pose, resemble Godzilla.

A Georgia O'Keefe "landscape," found in a closet in NYC, by nieces of the original owner, who received it for a grafuation gift. Original price, $3,500. Goes up at Sotheby's Tuesday. This is a landscape from around Abiqu, New Mexico, but looks more like nude, female body parts, strewn about. Maybe, even a friend over...

a mystery black control panel with four big rotary switches (labelled OPA, OPB, LC, SC) and many cryptically labelled buttons and lights: Double Tape Parity, ROM Cycle, Overheat, ...
The clean out at my late friend Mike's place continues. We filled a fifth 40 cu yd dumpster, and there's at least one more of junk. We unearthed the wet bar and the pool table, both of which haven't been usable this century. We expected to find, but didn't, the model rail set that Mike designed for the Eaton's Christmas window display.
Mike's stuff, previously: https://mltshp.com/p/1RYB4

So sorry for the loss of your friend. He had some interesting stuff. That panel would be perfect for operating a sound generator/synth/noise pedal.
@pk Thanks. He was a good dude but had a real hoarding problem.
I think it might have been a control panel for a Burroughs mainframe tape drive

Very Apollo 13 looking. Sorry for your loss, scruss.
@BMK thanks.
Very likely Apollo era. We threw away many Burroughs tape drives of an unknown format. So, sadly, that's someone's epic data recovery project scunnered

Photograph on a file card labeled MASTER FILE along the top. It shows a fox in the snow with its mouth open as if yelling. Stamped across the bottom is Alaska Task Force Master File and information that the local is Mount McKinley (now Denali)
In front of the fox, poking through the snow, are stalks of grass which appear to spell FOX

So the worldwide Microsift outage, and the grounding, have no common threads? Putin is applying pressure to our chicken p00p golf course designer-in-chief, to hand over Europe, and the NK's just paid themselves for their part. My 2 r0ubles.
How ironic is this post now that we know it was just one dude replacing one cable that caused this!

A large, greenish, cartoonish ghost with a smiley face soars through the dark blue night sky. A dim green halo hovers above its head. On closer examination, the ghost is attached to a string as though it is a kite. Holding the string and running along the ground is a person. There is a slight greenish glow on the horizon's edge. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

image from the TV show "The Odd Couple." Felix Unger attempts to get in a taxi while bent over with a throw-out back.
On November 13, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence; that request came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right, but he also knew that some day he would return to her. With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his childhood friend, Oscar Madison. Several years earlier, Madison's wife had thrown him out, requesting that he never return. Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy?

Made me what I am
I can hear him clearing his sinuses.
@jpoulos that sinus clearing scene from the film kills me. As soon as I saw "Felix Unger" that's the first thing I thought of.
[picks up discarded cigar butt...]
The opening notes of the theme song popped loudly into my head within milliseconds of seeing this.
for me it was the scene with his ex-wife where she's cooked scrambled eggs for him, and he takes the plate and says he's just going to "tighten these up" on the stove. I don't know why that scene sticks with me over everything else.

A large kale plant, approximately 7.5 feet tall, is held up by a man in a blue raincoat. He also holds an umbrella. They are in a garden. It is raining. His boots are dirty and his pants are wet at the ankles.
and I don't mean my fashion sense.
Reporting in from the edge of the Pacific: this morning's wind and rain conspired to topple my beloved top-heavy Kale tree and so I headed out in the gale to chop it before it molested the chard and spinach. I am just under 6 feet tall for scale. At this point (it is/was maybe two years old) we weren't even eating the upper leaves, letting the birds have at those, and just snacking on the mid-stalk "baby kale" greens. I made filling for many rounds of my famous knishes from this plant.

It's not easy being greens.
I'm just here for the fashion.
It looks like Cavalo Nero.
Back to my, digging up cassava roots, video. Excellent plant. Who knew they will grow so tall?
Didn’t know kale grew into trees in warmer climates. Here it dies and rots completely away in winter.

atop a wall-mounted steel storage shelf, a plastic-wrapped box of 100 memorex branded IBM-compatible diskettes sits unused. next to it is a bowl. the yellow box holding the red diskettes features the memorex logo, as well as the text "formatted IBM & compatible" to the left, and a larger "100 IBM DISKETTES | Lifetime Warranty" to the center and right.
walking past a cubicle someone recently abandoned (thankfully a switch to WFH, not a layoff/firing) and noticed this absolutely pristine box of high density diskettes. cackling at the thought of how long these must have just been sitting here.

the only thing i can think of was an anniversary video where we trotted out a working mac SE to run the 1.0 of our software against the then-latest iteration, but even then we had existing product diskettes.

Screenshot of a post by Derrick: Whenever it does get "fixed", it'll break again minutes later and the same shit will keep happening, because rather than putting those engineers to good use making this shit stable, they're too busy fucking with AI bullshit to give a damn about stability.

My outlook may be fixed after January 5th. Otherwise I have only ever used Outlook grudgingly, strictly on someone else's dime. And didn't Musk recently say he could just buy Microsoft to shut Bill Gates up? So maybe instead he got a warning outage and resulting stock devaluation? There are laws...We should not let big, little boy, pissing contests go unchecked, when national security is at stake,(we are currently stuck at burnt steak.)

Owl and cat eyes next to each other
We’re owl very impressed. I had to paws for a moment.
“I should get a pea green boat.”
@bezt *snort*
Now it needs Spock
Seriously, that pea green boat caper makes every kind of sense to me. They already enjoy the same foods, which is more in common than a lot of couples have.
Once I saw my cat sitting on the deck railing and looking up to the trees with that "I see dinner" look. I checked that, and there was a bigass owl in a branch. looking at her in much the same way. I cancelled deck time.

An open magazine showing an ad with title I FOUND MY NOSE! AND I CAN HELP YOU FIND YOURS!
A large photo shows a man smiling and pointing at his nose.
Ad copy reads:
Recently, I was performing my morning adjustment of my lip wig when I discovered that something on my face wouldn’t let me push it up into my eyes. Naturally, I was frightened and called my neighbor, who is a somewhat famous animal doctor. He told me the blockage was caused by something called a nose, and that they’re very common! Over 80 percent of men (and 35% of women) have some form of nose.
If you think you might have a nose, don’t be scared! Invite me to your home for a steak breakfast and I’ll see if you have one, or if you’re just a deluded freak.
