Have a Blessed weekend!

[meanderfall]

decided that the reason why 2003 splinter can be so laid back at times about the adventures his sons get up to is bc he knows he's unleashed hellions upon the world

Sorry it’s really bumming me out that only like a handful of actually powerful and influential people in Hollywood are openly against the use of generative AI in art and the rest are like well this is great let’s get the Forrest Gump gang back together to do a filmed play in the uncanny valley

HE LIVES!!!!

But there are issues, and I’d like to employ the help of any more tech-savvy people.

So while he turns on and starts up and whatnot, I’m stuck on this screen:

No wallpaper or icons or anything.

Anyone know what’s up? And potential ways to remedy this? Any advice is GREATLY appreciated.

The rain washes away sins, but the neon always brings them back

[theoraclej]

well, that was bitterly disappointing to the depths of my soul.

yes, I'm talking about Tech.

he deserved better. the BATCH deserved better. OMEGA deserved better.

I don't like the way they basically just erased any and all grief for Tech except for a couple of fucking off-hand mentions that barely whetted the appetite for more of the only character I really identified with

because I'm the info dumping autistic guy in my irl groups

and to see him shuffled off in the manner they used was a fucking insult

and to be teased about it by the show creators

or worse, harassed by the bad lot of Star Wars fans

and to kill off their autistic guy who DEFINITELY had chemistry and the first hints of flirty bonding with a Black woman is a bad look, v bad look

imo they botched the whole finale, not just the Tech thing because like look:

I guess this zillo beast is just gonna live on that planet now, instead of getting involved in the story they had it fuck off to the jungle - what

CX-2? who was he? too bad we'll never know because he was dropped before he was identified

it was shot so dark, everything was hard to see, and mind you my television set is especially tuned for it to NOT be dark because I hate that shit, I am going to be forced to watch it again despite not wanting to so I can listen to the audio descriptions and better understand the fights

they totally dropped Omega's force sensitivity stuff, like I wanted to know more about that, and about the other kids, will they even be safe? cause we know the empire keeps stealing force sensitive kids

speaking of those kids, what even was the point? the research was destroyed yet we know project necromancer is eventually successful or maybe they're retconning that too, who knows, all the rules are off the table and nothing matters

writing was inconsistent for an episode meant to be important

Crosshair did not deserve to have his hand cut off. I know prosthetics are "easier" and "more accessible" in this universe but also I don't give a fuck, just insult to injury and more, this man has suffered enough from the moment they jacked his chip up to 11

back to Tech: they spent so much time being cute little shits about him that his return seemed inevitable, as I watched the season I kept counting down time left for him to show up, and I had hopes all the way through until the first fade to black, only to be bitterly reminded of his death with the goggles in Omega's ship

--

two highlights I did enjoy - Omega and Hunter at the end, making me wonder if there will be a show about Omega set during the rebellion or if she'll show up in The Mandalorian or Ahsoka

Nala Se killing the shit out of rampart as she herself died, thank you Nala Se

but overall UGH, I will be tender from this one for awhile, I almost want to cancel Disney+ until I feel able to watch Star Wars stuff again

might write some fix-it fic, I'm too hurt right now tho

I'm commiserating with the rest of you who seem to have much the same reaction to this disaster of a finale

so yeah, we all deserved better, fictional folks and real folks and zillo beasts alike

💛 Webring Wednesday #6: Christians of the Internet Webring 💛

Christians of the Internet is a webring made to help fellow believers find each other out in the wild west of the Small Web. It's a welcoming way to build connection and community between Christian-run sites. Whether your site is focused on faith, personal reflections, or something completely unrelated but made with love, this ring is about being present and connected in the digital space as people of faith.

What’s especially nice about this webring is that it doesn’t push a particular denomination or doctrine. It’s more about encouragement and shared values—an internet version of waving to your neighbors from across the street. If you're a Christian with a personal site and you're looking to feel a little less isolated online, this might be exactly the kind of small but meaningful connection you're after.

Check it out here: https://christian-webring.nekoweb.org

New video up! ✨

Being a Catholic, I think a lot about our role as Catholics now that AI has become an unexpected part of our lives. Sometimes it comes into our lives without choice and sometimes through curiousity.

Some of you might not know that I'm a software engineer who's worked with AI products and applications in the tech industry here in San Francisco Bay Area.

I spent some time wondering how to approach AI while sticking to my Catholic roots and talk about it in this video on my YouTube channel, Catholic Memoirs.

These are first steps on my plan for approaching AI as a Catholic and how I plan to uphold the faith with this new revolution that we're in the midst of.

I hope it will help inspire you to continue on your path to sainthood. If it helps you, please share. Let's stay strong in the faith and keep building each other up. 🙏

Listening to the most recent Sova voicemail, I'm making it a hc that Sova's just as bad with tech as Brimstone is.

Like, he could be just be running into tech above his paygrade coincidentally in a row, with failing to hack the Sunset panel and now not being able to turn off the alarm, but I think it's funnier that he's Brimstone level, or worse.

I mean, the duelists are joking about Brimstone forgetting his password... and Sova decides the best person to call to help with the alarms is Brimstone??

This is why Sova can only use disposable/one-use tech.

OK EVERYONE I SOLVED IT! ALRIGHT SO IF IM CORRECT WE COULD MAYBE POSSIBLY GET ANOTHER STARWARS RESISTANCE SHOW STARTING OMEGA OR AT LEAST HAVE HER IN THE SHOW OR WHEN WE GET AHSOKA SEASON 2 AND THERE WOULD BE A EPISODE WHERE HER SHIP CRASHES ON A PLANET AND MEETS PEOPLE THAT ARE WITH THE RESISTANCE OR JUST SOME RANDOM PEOPLE BUT EITHER WAY SHE WILL ASK THEM FOR HELP AND THEY WOULD BUT THEN THEY WOULD SAY SMTH LIKE “We might not be able to fix your ship but we have a friend who can” THEY THEN GO TO A BASE AND THATS WHEN OMEGA SEES A VERY MUCH ALIVE YET OLDER TECH WORKING ON SHIPS BUT HE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE A SCAR ACROSS HIS FACE AND A PROSTHETIC LEG AND THOSE TWO WOULD LOOK AT EACH-OTHER SHOCKINGLY JUST BEAR WITH ME YALL

[skotiwolves]

Y’all are aware that Omega was gone for six months and their priority was her, right? Or before that when Wrecker nearly started crying, Hunter had to give the news to Omega, and Omega pleaded for them to go back because she thought they could still find him?

What about before Barton IV? When they were all gathered around the table and his name was mentioned and everyone fell silent and hung their heads? Even Crosshair?

If the creators didn’t want to keep his memory alive, they would’ve never mentioned his name again. They wouldn’t have kept his goggles in the show. They wouldn’t have shown very Tech qualities in Omega’s personality.

Instead, he’s seen in their decisions. He was felt in every scene when the Marauder was flown. He’s felt in every scene that involves tech, to any degree (because I know everyone has had a ‘tech could solve this’ moment while watching)

The characters don’t have to cry, hit a wall, and shout to the heavens in some big scene to show their grief. We’ve seen it already, and I think it suffices.

These characters are cloned soldiers who were created for war—nothing else. I think that’s forgotten quite often. Their mindset is different than your regular Joe. How they approach situations is different. How they grieve is going to be different.

They lost Tech, and almost immediately lost Omega. Their priority was finding any leads that could pinpoint them to Tantiss/Omega. Taking jobs, spending resources, and losing sleep until she was brought home. We have no idea what those six months held. We have no idea what Hunter and Wrecker went through without them there. Tech could’ve found her easily, and they know that. His goggles were sat on the shelf, and they probably felt his presence every single day

Omega wanted to preserve his goggles in that room on Pabu for a reason. He is still a part of their team. He’s still a part of their hearts and someone that the people of Pabu knew and appreciated. His character hasn’t been neglected, and the team hasn’t forgotten about him.
