So I'm not really up on the scene in general, let alone for The Pitt, but I can only assume the Garcia-Santos slash fiction is some of the angriest, most emotionally violent literature ever written.
to be clear tho, "sovereignty" over the strait is in fact not legal in terms of international maritime law, so it's unlikely oman will sign on and even if they do it's even less likely anyone will recognize this outside iran
The whole “I’m only here to see the Federation shooting at the Romulans!!” thing is so bizarre that I don’t even believe it’s true. I don’t believe that’s what moved and thrilled and delighted that boy sitting down to watch TNG or whatever every week…
But they never, ever, ever get hired at an R1. Their degree is old, or not prestigious enough, or, God forbid, they've spent so much time teaching.
People outside of academia think this shit is nuts. Everyone inside academia knows this is true.
I feel like people often confuse the actual trilogy with all the supplemental material that has been actually good and has fleshed out the characters and the prequel era. The movies themselves still suck.
Okay folks I've responded to the data center heat island paper. It is the worst study on AI and the environment I've ever read, by far. Thank you to @beijingpalmer.bsky.social for flagging. blog.andymasley.com/p/data-cente...

In April, the health part of universal credit to be halved (or frozen for new claimants) unless their condition is terminal or severe & lifelong. Multiple sclerosis, learning disabilities, bipolar, Parkinson’s, ME may not meet new eligibility criteria. More cruelty towards people with disabilities.
Who watches 80s and 90s sf for the SFX space battles? I posit this does not hold up to scrutiny.
Academia only rewards and celebrates the former. Never the latter. And that's fucked up. Because if you can do it with a 4-4 or 5-5 teaching load, plus service, plus advising, but with no resources or support? Holy shit! Imagine what they could do with a 2-2 and assistants and funding.
