That poster is wrong I’m afraid. Though not every job in animation was impacted (some were non-union, some accepted the interim agreements) Lower Decks definitely was. The cast is all SAG and all struck.

SAG-AFTRA’s strike definitely impacted voice work. Non-guild work exists, and wasn’t impacted, but the main cast of LD are all SAG and have mostly hit the picket line too.

Don’t worry bud, there literally isn’t a good translator for Scots online. It’s a minority dialect.

I wouldn’t call myself an expert, but fash doesn’t make sense in this sentence. Fash means a few things but they are all variations on personal worry.

If the maker was looking for an analogue nonsense or ruckus then Bauther would work.

I think that what the authors, and indeed most fans, think is that TWOK was what made TNG possible. Had the film not captured the cultural attention of its time there’s very slim chance that more trek would ever have been produced. It was a Hail Mary and it paid off.

The demon barber of fifth deck!

Of what I read the author seems to either not understand linear time, or have explained it poorly. The events of SNW don’t happen “before the … 2009 theatrical release”; they happen after that stardate, by 20 something years, and crucially, in a different timeline…

Edit: Apologies to have responded without realising OP is the piece’s author. It wasn’t my intent to be offensive. Basically, OP, the JJ events have nothing to do with the Prime timeline (except the instantiating incident) so marking time based on those factors isn’t common. I might seem like the worst type of sneering Trekkie dork, but Kirk is a living character in his late twenties in Strange New Worlds. The show isn’t taking place before he was born; just before he was Captain. Spock doesn’t require supernatural abilities that defy aging to stay in basically the same job for 10 years.

Oops all Scott Bakula.

Not quite. The Beeb aren’t in the business of studies (outside special reports). If I am thinking about the same article as you, Anglia Ruskin interviewed thousands of workers and found that while most people got over the sense of surveillance, a much higher percentage of women than men didn’t. This was because, seemingly, women were in fact more surveilled by their male colleagues.

So open plans aren’t “sexist” in the sands they were designed in oppression of women; they are sexist in the sense that their design and rationale failed to predict or account for the disproportionate negative impact on women.

Do you get it though? Do you?

I grew up next to Glasgow University, where there’s a big bronze statue of Kelvin on Kelvin Way. I don’t think I ever realised how much he looks like the old neighbour in Home Alone.

Additional Kelvin fact, weirdly, he took his title from the river and area of Glasgow, not the other way around. So a whole timeline in Star Trek is vicariously named for the river that flowed past the end of my road for 22 years.

I find that as Hu-mon using the O word is appropriative. I therefore use the term Aural Sex.
