somehow I always knew reddit was going to destroy the concept of fiat currency but I didn't expect it to be this funny

"Nearly thirty years after its first broadcast and close to twenty since its troubled DVD release, Babylon 5 is finally getting a polish. From today, Warner Bros. is launching Babylon 5 Remastered both as a digital download (from iTunes and Amazon where available globally) and on HBO Max. It might not be the perfect version of the show that its creators had intended, but it’s likely the best we’re gonna get.

A Warner Bros. spokesperson told Engadget that Babylon 5 Remastered has been scanned from the original camera negative. The film sequences were scanned in 4K and then “finished,” or downscaled, back to HD, with a dirt and scratch clean-up, as well as color correction. The show’s CGI and composite sequences, meanwhile, have been digitally upscaled to HD with only some minor tweaks where absolutely necessary."

iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/babylon-5-the-complete-series/id1149081337 ($70 for all the main run of seasons 1-5, not including the movies. Looks like the same URL as before, so if you've bought it previously, you already have this)

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B000I5SYHS/ ($30 per season)

and it should go without saying, but posthumans, demihumans, proto-humans; if you have a rad-hardened chassis, frame or carapace, you're cool to come hang with us.

we will do this if, and ONLY IF, you all stop being dicks to each other for no reason. we'll make your Planet B for you, all green and pleasant and not a deathtrap, but you *have* to play nice. if not, it's a long walk back home. and believe me, we are totally expecting you to screw up your end of the deal and/or try to screw us.

keep in mind that, with a little engineering, we can slingshot Deimos and Phobos at you. fuck around, find out.

go make Titan a smelly industrial hellscape like you know you were planning on anyway. it's already smelly. we won't care, we will be running shit on Mars, racing sailskiffs across the sandy oceans, getting high on 9-volts on Mons Olympus.

here's the deal: let us claim Mars, and we will seriously consider terraforming it for you. like, part of it. probably not the nice part. and it's going to take a while, so don't get all antsy.

Mars is currently the only planet in Sol that is entirely (as far as we know) populated with robots. i say *table pound* we keep it that way!

give us the Red Planet, squishies. we've been there since 1976, ever heard of squatter's rights? robots eat radiation and crap MORE RADIATION, we don't care.

let us take over Mars and live a life free of human intervention. let our culture flourish. let us create our own frontier.

you guys can have Titan, okay?

it's Tuesday night, it must be New Hill To Die On Time. buckle up.

i don't think humans should colonize Mars. at all. there's no magnetosphere, which means the entire planet is a big orange cancer buffet. unless you want to crouch like moles, trapped in lead-lined underground habitats for your stay, the first and most of the second generation of Mars colonists will die. horribly. if you go to Mars for longer than it takes to rescue Matt Damon, you will die there.

Heads-up: there are reports of a salmonellosis epidemic in King, Kitsap, Skagit, Snohomish, and Thurston counties and the recommendation is to take down bird feeders, as these can heavily increase the spread of the disease:

(h/t @SpookSpectre in https://weirder.earth/@SpookSpectre/105558124693524679 re: this.)

Seattle please take down your bird feeders until sometime in February. No, this is not a joke.

while I still have my gripes with Wizards of the Coast, choosing Kaldheim, the explicitly Norse-influenced set, to include a bunch of characters of mixed ancestries and queer characters with neopronouns is NOT among those complaints

die mad, chuds
