Favorite Trek episode that's not in the usual top 57 lists?

I was reading this list and after I calmed my rage (Because real fans would have a top 47...) I became curious to hear what other episodes might make a personal list.

You don't need to give a detailed rationale, I'm curious to know what episodes NOT on the linked list do you just kinda... Think Are Neat 🫴🥔?

I'll start with some of mine:

  • TOS - The Cloud Minders
  • TNG - Timescape
  • DS9 - The Magnificent Ferengi (how this one is not on the list I have no idea)

They're just neat!

Mastodon will soon begin offering managed hosting and support services for organizations

Here's a TechCrunch article on the topic too.

First of all I love this idea, especially for nonprofits, universities and governments.

My biggest question is how moderation will work. The "point" of federation is that each instance can moderate their own way, but presumably the paid moderation will be in the style of mastodon.social, which isn't bad, but not exactly in the spirit of the Fediverse.

Pro-AI Subreddit Bans 'Uptick' of Users Who Suffer from AI Delusions

Pretty freaky article, and it doesn't surprise me that chatbots could have this effect on some people more vulnerable to this sort of delusional thinking.

I also thought this was very interesting that even a subreddit full of die-hard AI evangelists (many of whom have an already religious-esque view of AI) would notice and identify a problem with this behavior.
