I had totally missed this bit of set dressing from #StrangeNewWorlds season 1 (?) Captain April with a younger Pike in very retro uniforms.
Good Morning and congratulations You made it to Tuesday
all of the characters in deep space nine are so damn shippable with each other!!!!
I’m sure there’s a perfect legitimate and not at all illegal reason for having 300 bank accounts
"While attorneys for the Trump Organization, led by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, have alleged Capital One closed more than 300 Trump-linked accounts in 2021 over politics, lawyers for the defendants wrote... that the financial institution closed the accounts “for anti-money laundering” reasons."
i’m never gonna be able to fire a cruise missile yet the question of using my tax dollars for them has never been up for debate
Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Look at the cool detail on this closeup of the Klingon bird-of-prey wing, made by ILM for Star Trek III. Love the gas tank "greeblie" details! No wonder TNG/DS9 used this model so often. I shot this photo when the model was on display a Christies in 2006.
The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.
There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.
It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"
never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
Flight of the Navigator is 40! 🥳 Trimaxion Drone Ship, art by Edward Eyth:
Flight of the Navigator was released 40 years ago today! "In 1978, a boy travels eight years into the future and has an adventure with an intelligent, wisecracking alien ship."
BE SO BRILLIANT NONE OF YOUR ENEMIES WOULD DARE LOOK AT YOU.
Lisa Simpson’s wedding, which took place 15 years in the future at the time it aired, now takes place 16 years in the past. #TheSimpsons
There is this nice shot in the TNG episode "Lessons" that I love. In this episode Picard faces a situation where someone he is romantically involved is on an away mission and might die. So, without showing Picard distressed, the show does this unique shot to show him vulnerable and small.
"Let PlayStation have a Wii U generation" goes so hard.

While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.
The book that falls out of Kirk's bag in #StarTrekSNW's "The Griffin Incident" is the 2021 edition of "Master and Commander" by Patrick O'Brian. One of my friends will be very happy when we watch the episode later together on #StarTrek night. He always talks about the similarities between both.
The amount I won't be buying anything like this is all of it
Companies are all in on selling folks the idea that it’s in your best interest for your products to “know you” as if you are getting a dedicated servant but what you are really getting is a spy.
Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino posted this video of the Oval Office and it somehow looks even more embarrassing than I realized
"Property of Hamburger University Athletic Department" might be the best phrase ever printed on a t-shirt (McDonald's SmileMakers Catalog, 1983)
The only man with the skills to track down and recover the movie? Nicholas Cage.
Fortitude, a $45m thriller starring Nicolas Cage and from the director of Con Air, has been stolen from Netflix's offices. Now its producer is suing the streamer for $105m. filmstories.co.uk/news/netflix...
Yeah... No. If I see anyone with a camera hanging out in or near public bathrooms, we're skipping the dialogue and going straight to the quick time event. At the very least, that camera is about to become a physics equation.
