I got into Star Trek by watching random Voyager episodes whenever they happened to be on TV. It's from the same era as SG-1 and is overall pretty close to what an "average" Star Trek show would be IMO. You can give it a try if TNG doesn't click with you for some reason. Or go with SNW if you want something that's currently airing with new episodes being made - every other "current" Star Trek show has either finished production or not aired yet.

I feel like there's still a pretty big gap in the drawing / art space. I want something that works like the furry art sites all work, which means (a) art posts and text posts separated into distinct feeds, and (b) thumbnails in a grid instead of a vertical timeline. I built a web app to do this but unfortunately it's single-user (and basically locked to the Azure cloud). In the meantime, Pixelfed works pretty well for following Mastodon artists.

I'm curious to see at the end of the regular season whether any conference besides the Big Ten and SEC gets an at-large bid, and whether any of the autobids end up ranked below 12.

A hot dish? Sounds like Minnesota

I used microblog.pub for a good year or so, worked really nicely (although it did slow down once when Lemmy wasn't honoring my unfollow requests and kept hitting it with Announce activities - ended up just editing the python code to block those domains). I *love* that there's no infinite scrolling. Only reason I moved off it is because I ended up putting the functionality I needed into my personal art gallery app (which is what I'm posting this from now).

The Androrians had left too, but the Tellarites hadn't. It's a fascinating thing for the writers to throw in there, considering that there aren't any Tellarites involved with the story, and I'm intrigued as to what that says about their society and about the Federation in that time period.

That's a good point about the Borg not using telepathy, etc. Perhaps the large mass of existing Borg have a bias towards the usefulness of such abilities that the collective, when acting as one mind, is not really able to self-interrogate? If so, that could be considered one of their major weaknesses.

The one Bally Sports used last year was even worse. It was SO LOUD
