Enjoy your Sunday, #StarTrek friends! (Technically only true after the Sisko rejoins the wormhole aliens, becoming one of the prophets.) #StarTrekDS9 #StarTrekMemes Imagine Bajor having a sacred baseball league. With great games, people think they see the Emissary in the clouds...

I have just been sent the transcript of a deposition my grandmother gave in 1977 while she was serving as an expert witness in a series of tribal rights cases and let me tell you, if nothing else this is proof that I come by it honest for every conceivable value of “it”

Its been almost 50 years, I think we're due another Star Trek sound effects album.

Hadestown pro capture: - excellent camera work - fucking INCREDIBLE sound mixing - I can't believe Patrick Page did that in a full boot with a torn Achilles tendon - AND I only spotted two instances of them having to cut to edit out that he missed hitting his mark on time

I have run into situations where people want to set duress passwords on things and there are really three possibilities.

Over a year ago, a Dutch frog science magazine emailed me asking if they could include my comic in their upcoming issue about dart frogs. They were interviewing the scientist who first described the blue poison dart frog; he had seen and liked the comic. They mailed me a copy, which just arrived:

Once upon a time I decided to cross the US. Flew to DC and drove back to LA. Took me 3 weeks. I kept side questing. Was convinced for 3 days that jackalopes were real. Ended up in Utah THEN in Oregon. This is when I realized Odysseus absolutely had ADHD. Welcome to my Ted talk.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, a West Wing style hyper-saturated but not melodramatic episodic hopecore drama series about a progressive political operation that was just the Mamdani administration with the serial numbers filed off would have endless viewership numbers.

Here's a leaked photo of the upcoming Lego Star Trek TOS bridge set coming in September.

Please? 1) ALT-TEXT GRAPHICS. It's good internet behavior. Accessibility matters. 2) Please do not ask strangers online qs that (basic/non-AI) Google can answer. It's just rude to demand their time. 3) Check someone's profile before you decide you know their deal & start yelling at them? OK?

Pleased to report the Arby’s in Galesburg Illinois still has a working neon cowboy hat sign. Nature is healing.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the artist used the scene where Picard is reciting Shakespeare to the Ferengi Daimon to pretend to be a jealous lover of Lwaxana Troi as the pose reference (Also, the rest of the cards are beautiful: scryfall.com/search?q=set...)
