As with the horse poll, please regard these options as sliders. The extent to which each one deviates from 1/6th of the total will determine the amount that canine aspect deviates from the "average."
I regret to inform you that Discord's new Terms of Service includes an arbitration clause. You can find it here https://discord.com/terms/#16. This clause includes an opt-out, which I have transcribed here:
You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to [email protected] within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.
These clauses are underhanded ways that corporations seek to deprive you of your right to participate in class-action lawsuits and your right to a jury trial. (This does only apply to us users ,other people still spread the word though )
This is taken from the account by Joan Winston (an ABC television employee and Star Trek fan), about her two-week visit to the studios, when they were filming Turnabout Intruder. The account was published in the book Star Trek Lives! (Lichtenberg, Jacqueline 1975).
A selection of some funny anecdotes:
The origin of the set decorations
I wonder if this was the origin of the suspicious stalagmite in What are Little Girls Made Of?
Nimoy avenges his bike
The story of the bike itself can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbHP5FbJNAw
Dr. McCoy’s diagnosis
De boss, he’s De boss.
The chewing gum
“Spock, it’s always been you”
Spock’s silky hair
CCL stands for chopped chicken liver, by the way.
The “thing”
At this point, Shatner was severely ill with the flu, and they barely managed to film the intro scenes of the episode (the last material to be filmed, actually) before he collapsed on a couch.
After this, they started dismantling the sets for the bridge, the transporter room, etc.
Pretty poignant.
What's this? A little calendar teaser and update for everyone??
You betcha! We're getting close, so here are the facts so far:
Calendars will likely be up for pre-order in June/July.
Since they are for 24 months, they will likely be $20-$30 USD.
The charity we'll be donating to this year is A New Way of Life Reentry Project, who provide housing, case management, pro bono legal services, advocacy, and leadership development for people rebuilding their lives after incarceration.
I'm hoping to do a run of 500 calendars!
I'm basing that number off the previous poll I did about the mullet!Stan calendar, so I'm hoping there will actually be that many folks purchasing it.
But that's where you come in. YES YOU! In order to make this calendar a success (and to ensure I don't end up with 300 of them taking up space in my house), I need all of you to be sure you reblog this post, share links on other social media sites, and generally do whatever you can to spread the word.
if Broadway doesn’t want bootlegs floating around then they need to get their act together and make legal recordings. you can say all you want that theater is meant to be enjoyed live, but the fact of the matter is not everybody can get to NYC to go to a Broadway show. not everybody can afford to take the time off of work and buy a plane ticket to NYC and buy a night in a hotel AND get the ticket to the show. people want to see the shows, that’s why there’s a bootleg market in the first place, but it’s unreasonable to expect that everyone has the time, money, and ability to make it out to the one place in the world to see something on Broadway, especially if it’s a limited engagement. so record that shit, slap some subtitles on it, and sell it so we can buy it legally.
The “oh I could definitely write this fanfic in under 5000 words and it really wouldn’t take me that long” voice in your head is actually the devil speaking
