7 centuries? I know that star dates in Star Trek definitely correspond to a specific datetime, but other than the vague "a long time ago", was it ever established when Star Wars took place compared to us?

I am referring to this, with Tracy talking directly to the camera and what seems to be Kenneth wearing denim jeans as if he were Theodore Wrangler.

when putting in long text like image links, it gets ugly fast and stuff starts to break.

In that case, I think that tool should prove very helpful. Starting off in a spreadsheet program like Excel is great for keeping things neat/tidy/readable, then you would use that tool to convert to markdown when you are finished and ready to post the table to Lemmy.

That is sort of how I manage my GIF todo list and the markdown list that I publish on Codeberg. I have a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet that I use as my todo list, adding new ideas to it as they come to my attention and then marking them off as I complete them. Then, when I am done for the day, I have a custom Python script that I run that reads all the cells in the spreadsheet, rearranges things a bit, and outputs it as a markdown table into the file you see on Codeberg.

EDIT: @ptz@dubvee.org could possibly even build that functionality right into Tesseract, allowing you to copy from Excel and paste directly into a Tesseract textbox as a markdown table.

I figure the caption is custom, but is the footage behind it from a behind-the-scenes clip or something? I definitely do not recognize it.

Is there a reason to emphasize "skippable" here?

All that I can think of is this tool that someone posted recently:

https://thisdavej.com/copy-table-in-excel-and-paste-as-a-markdown-table/

You copy a range of cells from somewhere like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, etc., then paste into this website, and it reformats it as a markdown table.

But myself, I am comfortable enough with markdown to just type it out manually directly into a Lemmy comment. Though for a markdown table that is relatively large (like the one above), I generally create it from scratch in a separate text editor program and then copy/paste it into Lemmy. A text editor is just a larger space to work in and has things like find/replace to make things go faster.

If you have any specific questions/problems, I am happy to help!

I genuinely cannot tell if there was a joke there or what that was

On a similar note, here are all instances of a different actor portraying a young Liz:

From reading a few articles, it seems the clip was simply a spoof, and no full episode was ever intended to be made. I gather that it exists for two reasons:

  1. As a lighthearted jab at Fey, who (for the first time in eight years) had reprised her famous SNL role parodying Palin a week prior
  2. More importantly, as marketing for Palin's new book that we hear Dotcom complimenting here
