Deanna being so fucking sick of Picard and his horse riding in Starship Mine is like top 5 Deanna moments.

Forget Riker tormenting her with jazz, every day on the bridge she has to put up with Picard thinking incessantly about horsies and ponies 16 hours straight, she’s not even reading his thoughts he is just thinking so intensely about them that it’s inescapable, and then making her come to the holodeck with him for a pony adventure. Enough! She’s had enough!

hi holly! are there any computational devices you find particularly amusing in some sense?

Also the Xerox Alto. It’s one of the first (maybe the first?) personal computers designed from the ground up to support and use a graphical user interface. It’s from the early 70s. It cost tens of thousands of dollars. They only ever made like two thousand. It looks like this.

Look at that fucking mouse. It’s a brick with three buttons. The monitor’s in landscape. The guts look like they’re inside a Wallace and Gromit-ass dehumidifier. I love this thing.
