Saw Kane Parsons Backrooms movie https://t.co/3KFx53l3ZD in theatre today on opening day, Thu, 2026 May 28. I thought film was excellent I highly recommend it. I recommend watch Kane Parsons' excellent older shorts first, free on Youtube, that isn't necessary to understand film.

"Kyle Hill - The “Empty Atom” Myth"
The often touted idea that atoms are like solar systems and are almost entirely empty space is an idea a century out of date, and they are actually quite full.

"TREK WORLD - The Enterprise Was Impossible to Build—So They Did This Instead"
Original Star Trek designed sets with purpose, showing what could, implying rest, making ship seem huge, every object having purpose, with labels viewers could read, not random.

p3 - It is already common for businesses to have "winter hours" and "summer hours" so they're perfectly capable of adjusting to varying daylight without forcing clocks to change.

[Darren Duncan @dduncandb]

p1 - The BC Government survey about the time zones was an abomination when it happened, its results are meaningless and not trustworthy, because they didn't even present permanent standard time, the best option, as a choice, so voters could only pick between 2 inferior options.

[Darren Duncan @dduncandb]

p2 - The cited 93% result was only a vote against changing the clocks twice a year, it wasn't a vote saying permanent daylight time was the best option. They need to do the survey again properly so to better know what people really want.

@RobertPicardo @RobertPicardo
January 14th (Wednesday) is the Starfleet Academy actual release date, a day earlier than this ad says. I just watched it on the 14th on Paramount Plus.

[Darren Duncan @dduncandb]

@jondelarroz @RobertPicardo Jon, you changed the subject away from Star Trek first with your claiming that "loved..." belonged to the left wing team, so by your logic you lost the debate.+

[Darren Duncan @dduncandb]

@jondelarroz Yes.

@najones0605 @adrianpaul1 @sciencegirl Don't have to be high, that's clearly Godzilla, or a tyrannosaurus rex.

[Darren Duncan @dduncandb]

@sciencegirl The first thing I saw was a tyrannosaurus rex, but also Godzilla.
