#oh wow I like her outfit!

at the risk of sounding like a raving lunatic, i think one of my favorite trekkie memes/posts is that one where someone comments on a screenshot of tos and asks if sulu is texting, because it PERFECTLY encapsulates star trek's strange little place at the intersection of pop culture and the tech world:

like listen... 55+ years ago a bunch of actors had to use a mix of existing habits and wild imagination to come up with what they felt would be believable movements and muscle-memory for someone using completely unbelievable tech a few hundred years in the future. like tv had less than ten channels and the screen was a foot across, and they had to go "ok how would someone who's used to a tiny wireless gadget with a screen hold it and use it? how would they talk to a computer? how would the computer sound when she talked back?"

and over half a century later our own tech has surpassed the clunky retrofuture gizmos in so many ways, no doubt inspired by it, that now someone two decades into the 21st century sees an actor in the 60s holding some tiny rectangular plastic prop in both hands and immediately recognizes it as "oh, sulu's texting!" now THAT is a called shot. hell, that's putting your money on a roulette wheel in a casino that hasn't been built yet. i LOVE it. it's so star trek. sulu is absolutely texting.

HUSTLER 6' WOODEN

The futuristic ‘Hustler’ series of cars were designed and built by William Towns between 1979 and 1989. Usually based on the Mini, they featured sharp-edged, angular bodywork in the 70s industrial-design idiom, including sliding glass doors. The ‘Wooden’ used a unique marine-ply monococque chassis in place of the usual fibreglass, and as one of the 80 built that hasn’t succumbed to woodworm, it’s very rare today.

Here's a few photos of other ones I've found:

The Maze Solving Computer by Richard Wallace (1952), L&O Research and Development Co. This electro-mechanical digital computing machine is mounted on wheels, and can explore and solve mazes made from toy train-track. It has sensors to receive information from guideposts alongside the track that signal the start of the maze, up-coming choice-points, dead-ends, and the goal-post that signals success. As well as moving forwards and backwards it can throw a switch to change the points at a junction. "While the present maze solving computer might be said to demonstrate some of the grosser characteristics of animal and human learning, it is far from any of nature's products. The author hopes that the building of it ... will help lead to a deeper and broader understanding of the fascinating subject of brain-like mechanisms, and perhaps of the human brain itself." – Richard Wallace.

This was an old idea. I wanted to do a better animation with it.

Fandom is so different now and it’s becoming un-fun with how quickly shit moves.

I just want to enjoy things. I don’t want to have to play a game of Artist-Race that seems to be afoot lately.

Ya’ll eat up fandoms, leave artists and writers bone dry and then move on so fucking quickly then fucking wonder where all the Good Fandom Stuff is.

Idk Maybe cherish some things for longer. Reblog stuff. Interact with people. Comment and share.

Fandom is Capitalism now and I’m not being nuanced.

people also seem obsessed with only Doing Fandom about currently active works?

“oh, I’m so sad that show ended! I really miss the fandom!” who said you have to leave, coward

Fun fact: You are part of keeping a fandom alive. Every interaction, every person in a fandom has their own part to play. If that’s reblogging art, fanfics or making cursed edits, that’s good enough.
