STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES (1966-1969) 2.25 • “The Ultimate Computer”

You know how canaries were historically brought into coal mines, because if the mine was full of carbon monoxide the canary would die first and the miners would be able to escape before they died too?

I just found the greatest thing.

This is a canary resuscitator.

When the miners notice the canary getting sick with carbon monoxide poisoning, they can close that circular hatch so no more gas gets into the canary cage, and open the valve on that oxygen tank to keep the canary breathing. In other words, they made a spacesuit for birds.

By immediately giving the canary access to clean air, the miners can save it from the poison. The bird lives. To be clear, this is not for economic purposes, this was specifically created because the miners felt bad and wanted to save the bird.

Isn’t that just the perfect demonstration of what humans are like? We started sacrificing small creatures to save ourselves, and then felt bad and spent our valuable resources on saving the critters too. Because yeah the canary was the only way to test for CO, but it’s a living creature too, dammit!

I am closer to believing Than I ever was before On the crest of this elation Must I crash upon the shore And with the driftwood of acquaintance Light the fire to love once more I am wind blown…I am times.

To be closer to believing To be just a breath away On the death of inspiration I would buy back yesterday But there’s no crueller illusion There’s no sharper coin to pay As I reach out… It slips away

From the opium of custom to the ledges of extremes Don’t believe it till you’ve held it Life is seldom what it seems But lay your heart upon the table And in the shuffling of dreams Remember who on earth you are

I need me You need you We want us

But of course you know I love you Or what else am I here for Only you not face to face But side by side for evermore And I need to be here with you For without you what am I Just another fool out searching For some heaven in the sky Take me closer to believing Take me forward lead me on Through collision and confusion While there’s life beneath the sun You are the reason I continue So near for so long So close yet so far away

I need me You need you We want us to live forever Don’t let the curtain fall Measure after measure Of writing on the wall That burns so brightly It blinds us all

I need me You need you We want us to be together On Sundays in the rain Closer than forever Against or with the grain To ride the storms of love again

So be closer to believing Though your world is torn apart For a moment changes all things And to end is but to start And if your journey’s unrewarded May your God lift up your heart You are windblown But you are mine…..

Oh! So, confirmed right?

this movie is so fucking creepy jesus fuck

Sometimes it blows my mind that there are people that don’t wear glasses/contacts. Like they can literally see with no aid. Like they wake up and just be out here seeing. What a wild concept.

Aaron Rodgers Praises Simone Biles on Mental Health: ‘I’m Very, Very Proud of Her’

Aaron Rodgers just praised Simone Biles for speaking on mental health and voicing her support all the way.

In an interview Friday with The Ringer, Rodgers credited Biles’ ability to speak freely about her mental health and advocate the same for others.

Via CBS Sports:

“I give Simone so much credit for her ability to speak the truth, her truth, and to answer tough questions, and to have the courage to say, ‘I’m scared’ and 'I don’t feel like I should be out there,’” Rodgers said. “She’s the greatest gymnast of all time. And mental health [awareness] is an issue that is continuing to break down the stigmas that don’t allow us to talk about it or only allow us to talk about it in a super negative, depressive, suicidal way.

"People of all ages and all professions are dealing with mental issues, especially during COVID… it’s something we should be talking about and ways to help people get through it, whether it’s techniques or therapy or just conversations letting people know they’re not alone. And that’s what Simone did. I’m very, very proud of her.”

Biles, who withdrew four finals for mental health reasons, was seen supporting teammates Suni Lee, MyKala Skinner and Jade Carey throughout the process that ended winning the Olympic bronze and silver with the team completion without the gymnast.

As CBS notes Rogers, claims, have higher platforms to deliver important messages such as mental health advocacy Biles has spoken extensively on that subject these games, doing everything from what the “twisties” are to outlying her personals struggles that issue.

“Well, we should keep talking about it,” Rodgers said. “Keep talking about ways that we individually deal with stress and deal with anxiety and deal with pressure and deal with depression or loneliness. I think that would really help. Because we, whether we like it or not, have a platform to influence people.

"And our words are often listened to more than the person who’s not in the public eye as much. So we have an opportunity – not an obligation, an opportunity – to maybe share some of our own ways of dealing with things and break some of the stigma around mental health.”

Biles has a trend in Rodgers who has “gotten to know her a little bit at times over the years,” hopes continues.
