I'm Not A Nice Person But I Still Deserve LOK Comic Featuring Kuvira’s Redemption Quest Guided By Avatar

Forgive my bluntness, but isn’t the Myers-Briggs system based off of a deeply simplified interpretation of Jungian psychology that mental health professionals (Jungian psychologists or otherwise) consider littler better than a horoscope? Are companies actually using the test as a way to judge candidates? (Mind you, we could probably say the same things about IQ tests.)

Study Myers-Briggs and learn to fake out the test to thinking you’re an “SP” or “SJ”, preferably extroverted type, depending upon the job that’s giving you a personality test. I suspect that lots of non-professional jobs and non-tech jobs are specifically weeding out people who would map to Myers Briggs NT or NF types, and using iNtuitive Thinker traits as a proxy for autism. Make sure you can fake the test out to your cisnormative personality type expected of your gender; that will be T if male and F if female. I highly suspect that iNtuitive (Thinker or Feeler, but especially Thinker in any retail setting) personality traits are being mapped to unemployable neurodivergence by employment related personality tests.

“Who killed Palpatine?”

Even more than Betterman? How is that possible?

It’s taken me 30 minutes to take down notes on like 2 minutes of this scene happening. I don’t know that an anime has affected me as much as this has.

And yes @dumnhpy​, that is indeed Charles Napier, who returned to Trek with the DS9 episode “Little Green Men” as Lt. Gen. Rex Denning.

What a difference twenty six (or negative twenty-two) years makes.

TOS costume design really said “men in thigh highs with tits out”

I don’t watch Westworld, but I always like hearing people re-orchestrate songs into different genres, and this is a damn fine example from a show full of them.

That modern Captain Planet discussion you guys had at the beginning of the latest @transmediacrity podcast was surprisingly resonant to me, @wyattsalazar. I’ve been chewing on this essay criticizing the first season of Star Trek: Discovery, and it seems like the attitudes and beliefs that the liberal TNG era was built on are now also verboten, and have been replaced by sadder, crueler things.

The important thing to remember about the Star Trek universe is that the formula for Coca-Cola was lost during the Eugenics Wars, while PepsiCo was forcibly nationalized in the 2050s by Colonel Green, who dismantled their bottling plants and had much of the workforce executed on the grounds that they produced, quote, “an impure beverage”. (RC Cola still exists in the 24th century, but nobody drinks it.)

The most unrealistic part of Star Trek Deep Space Nine is the idea that root beer is exceedingly popular. Root beer is gross and a hyper-advanced humanity isn't going to embarrass themselves by drinking that in front of the aliens

“This place is someone’s memory of a town...and the memory’s fading.”

Based on my own experience with Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, Rabbits, and Inland Empire...yep, that’s pretty much it.

Explaining Twin Peaks

What happened? I haven’t been following the show, but I’m vaguely aware they did something with Spock in the latest episode.

Wtf, Strange New Worlds is making me hate Star Trek
