Oh also SOMETHING is up with Sam's extendable 'microphone'. There was too much camera focus on it, and look at the S6 artwork. . .
I reckon those screen glitches and 'random' clips in Deja Vu are absolutely coming back in some form later this season. Something tells me they're there for more than just flavour.

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Conspiracy theories are what people use to explain the world when they refuse to acknowledge the existence of systemic injustice.

What fuels capitalism? Greed.
One of the ways we can dismantle the machine is by starving it of fuel, actively fighting against Greed in all its forms. Greed, in short, is wanting more than what we need. It's sneaky, it's subtle, it's been turned into a virtue, and it's damned hard to fight against in our own lives because it's so slippery and so enticing. But it's where the fight begins.
Maybe it means closing that tab for an online store.
Maybe it means putting back that shirt, even though it's thrifted, because you already have 7+ shirts at home.
Maybe it means not buying stuff just because it was on sale.
Maybe it means turning down a draw for free stuff or swag, because you wouldn't actually purchase that thing otherwise.
Maybe it means doing a no-buy month. Or a no-buy year.
Maybe it means wearing out something before you buy a new one (or look for its secondhand replacement).
Maybe it means asking for no presents at birthdays or Christmas, or replacing physical gifts with experiences or services.
An example. I have a zero-waste fashion business, where I sell clothes made from zero-waste designs. I purchased new fabric, some for the first collection, some to experiment with for designs. Which makes sense, right?
But I have like 10 plastic tubs FULL of fabric under my drafting table. I already have way more fabric than I can use for myself. I have so much more than I need. . . but Greed is the voice that told me I needed to purchase more for my business, instead of using what I have.
If you want to dismantle capitalism, fight Greed. Learn contentment. Use what you have. Connect with other people and share and borrow and lend so that your resources can help their lack and vice versa. Give stuff away. View your stuff as belonging not just to you, but as resources that the whole community can access should they need it.
Yeah. It's radical. But that's what it takes. It's unglamorous, unsexy, hurts a bit, and it's boring. But it's what will cause capitalism to shrivel up and die. (AND it doesn't just stop vulnerable people from dying, fighting greed and sharing resources can actively help vulnerable people's lives get better!)
Why do we say that capitalism must be “dismantled”?
You’ll hear phrases like “Smash the state!” “Eat the rich!” and “Smash capitalism!”
And, yes, of course, but… :)
However relevant those sayings are, our work must be careful, highly organized and above all planned.
Because capitalism and all of its associated systems are not discrete, abstracted entities we can attack independently.
It is a structure, like a complicated machine with many thousands of working parts…
And right now it is connected to absolutely everything.
If we do this… [picks up huge hammer and smashes the machine]
Then a lot of vulnerable people will die.
The machine was built and improved and redesigned and patched over the course of generations. It is very good at its intended purpose, which is ultimately to generate profit.
Every human being alive today relies on the byproducts of the machine to survive, without exception.
The machine’s engineers want it to keep working like it does. In fact, they want to optimise it.
That will kill all remaining life on Earth.
So, we must destroy the machine, quickly and carefully
We must examine its deadly programs and mechanics and replace them with alternatives we built together.
The engineers don’t want us tampering with the machine.
However, we make it run…
So we can make it STOP. Together.
How will YOU help us to safely dismantle the machine?

ADHDers, is there a word for coming down from an intense emotional event (whether 'positive' or 'negative') and getting caught in a hyperactivity loop or hyperfocus mode, and not actually being able to get back to grounded smoothly?
