NEW RESEARCH: Parked cars can account for 10 percent of the surface areas of some cities. It turns out that their albedo (reflectivity) can significantly contribute to the urban heat island effect.

Dark-coloured cars are the worst, making the air around them 3.8°C hotter vs nearby asphalt road.

Here are four star charts, focusing on the area to the "East" of Federation space, as seen in four #StarTrekSNW episodes ("A Quality of Mercy", "Strange New Worlds", "Subspace Rhapsody" and "Through the Lens of Time", top to bottom). There's overlap but at the top is "North" and at the bottom "South".

【Fans (and some Picard cast) won't let the Legacy concept die】
During a panel with Picard season three showrunner Terry Matalas and Todd Stashwick (Shaw), were questioned about a ‘30-page outline’ for the Star Trek Legacy concept.


Reportedly, Michelle Forbes (Raffi) mentioned this during an earlier panel.


It sounds as though there’s nothing new in terms of interest from the executives about the concept, just fan interest and an ongoing campaign. Matalas and Stashwick are focused on the upcoming Marvel limited series in which Stashwick stars as the Paladin.


What’s interesting to me is that the more I hear about Matalas original pitch, the more I dislike. Matalas confirmed that it would have a Klingon focus.


While I loved the deep dives into Klingon lore in the 90s, I would prefer something new in the 25th century even a show featuring legacy characters.


As well, Matalas confirmed that they proposed that Shaw would a holographic recreation rather than revived by Borg nanites. We don’t need another grumpy hologram now that the Doctor is back in both Prodigy and Starfleet Academy.


I would find Shaw’s journey as a victim of the Borg with survivor guild to someone who accepts that his own life depends on Borg technology as much more interesting, compelling and new ground in terms of a character arc.

The thing about Palestine Action, in the UK, is as far as I can tell they did the absolutely most precision-targeted, moral action possible; property destruction against actual literal weapons of war - nobody harmed, no disruption to the general public.

No wonder the government is losing their shit and making an example of them.

Melania: "Donald, tesoruccio, stanotte ti ho sognato. C'era una parata tutta per te. Una parata bellissima, enorme. Era tutta piena di persone, erano tutti contenti e quando sei passato tutti applaudevano."
Donald: "E io? Io ero contento?"
Melania: "Non lo so, tesoruccio. La cassa era stata chiusa."

Spock is quoting from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"↘️ (like Picard in #StarTrekTNG's "The Royale"↖️ and Stamets in #StarTrekDiscovery's "Anomaly"↗️ before him) in #StarTrekSNW's "Through the Lens of Time"↙️. Remember: Amanda read to him from the book when he was a child! :-) 🧵 1/2
