I am now legally required to watch "Balance of Terror".

Dang. That must have been an amazing writing opportunity to "rewrite" such a classic TOS episode while keeping it to the series framing.

Since we're doing this...

I took an entire semester of Native Americans In The Cinema, lead by a surly Lakota guy.

I watched an *astonishingly* huge amount of bad films featuring Native Americans and their cinematic tropes in that class. Literally, every class was watch a film, write a paper on it.

I've also watched a *huge* amount of Sci-Fi. I know that aliens are often used as stand-ins for non-white peoples all the time as pop-SF is often aimed only at white people.

So, yes, Avatar was pretty.

It had some great CGI for the time.

You're allowed to enjoy it.

But I can still hear my anthropology professor yelling at the screen each time I watch it.

@thegibson @drwho Who will win?

A multi-million dollar facial recognition system which already doesn't work well and actually just lines the pockets of the wealthy....

...or a small piece of cloth.

New post-tech career plan:

Furniture making is out.

Fabricating weird bicycles out of junk is in.

You're the only thing getting me through this day...

Ummm...guys?

I got most of the cluster case together...

Game idea where you are playing as a gamer gaming in a fictional gaming world which is really a commentary on the horrors of the gig economy and emptiness of capitalism.

Why is there swag? Because I wanted a sticker and T-shirt with my own silly logo on it.

The poll on the Pi Cluster name was more or less matched between "CHERI" and "TCHERI". I didn't vote on it, so I get to choose. :blobsmilehappyeyes:

After thinking about it, I decided to settle on "TCHeRI".

We have swag for sale:

Typing :q in a regular shell session is like saying "Computer, End Program" when you're not on the holodeck.
