I understand what pon farr is, but where is the photo from? Which is the original? When was it taken and why? Is the original negative/print held by a particular organisation?

Seems it's a promo for season 2 of TOS and the show's new timeslot on Fridays. The lettering is a nod to Laugh-In, and the whole timeslot shuffle is a long story.

Also I see Google has completely given up on quotation marks around phrases. So that's fun.

I switched to DuckDuckGo a year ago as an experiment and it's slightly better. Like 10% better. I don't think they've done anything groundbreaking, pretty sure it's mostly just Bing, but I suspect that SEO spammers just aren't targeting their algorithm as much. Regardless, I have no regrets.

Quotes seem hit or miss and minus signs don’t work at all for me. It’s the best option I know of, but DDG’s not great imo

I haven't found quotation marks working on duck duck go either.
