happy #caturday

summer is here, and I finally get to code outdoors on the deck 🤩

It’s a real language! This exists! Someone thought this would be a good idea! Plus sign and minus sign in the same programming language name, yes, yes!!

Objective-C++

I mean, it’s been two seasons I can only make a few of the Discovery’s bridge crew.

To contrast: we’re four episodes into Strange New Worlds and we already know the tragic backstories on Uhura, Una, M’Benga and La’an – all the characters feel more real and the world feels lived-in.

SNW is so good! It has no right being this good this quickly!

We wrapped up Star Trek Discovery’s second season last night. Visually stunning, fun, well-acted, with a great score. But also: poorly paced, convoluted, and confusing to follow the plot.

I can’t dislike it, mainly because of Michelle Yeoh and Anson Mount, but I wish I could have liked it more. It was so preoccupied with tying itself into existing cannon that I think it lost itself. Changing show runners halfway through the season probably hurt, too.

Hopefully season three is even better!

90% of why I still use Instagram are the many Star Trek meme aggregators [cw ec]

Because seriously, I made mojitos the other night and wow! Moderate effort for huge flavour!

I need to, like, secure a supply of mint and limes.

I bought some herb plants at the grocery store. Not sure if it works this way, but I’ve potted them and now I’m hardening them outdoors. Hopefully this is the summer of mint, basil, and rosemary!

his character, as a person, is pure garbage. but that slice of his portrayal was spot-on.

I feel like Alan Cumming doesn't get enough credit for his role in Goldeneye

no other actor I've seen has quite captured the triumphant feeling of *finally* convincing a computer to do the thing
