Should have tiny disclaimer at the bottom that says “*not to scale”.
Here's the new #StarTrek 60th anniversary bumper video that will play before every new episode of the franchise in 2026, beginning with today's #StarfleetAcademy series debut

Watched Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” again and still marveling at how wrong critics got this movie. Not only is it not an epic romance of any sort – every adult in Priscilla’s life failed at keeping her from being groomed into an underage trophy – but I’m sure the film’s thesis is that Elvis was gay.

TNG's Season 4 trailer music. I am thrilled to see the exact dance move I've been doing to it on the album cover.

TNG Season 4 trailer music was a booty shaking banger. I’m guessing this has to be from a stock library. Does anyone know its origin and if the whole stand alone track is available somewhere? @nsbulk.bsky.social?

Three times this week, twice to my face, I was told by a person much older than me that AI is inevitable and, as an artist, I must use it as a tool or I will get left behind. None of these people were artists and one admitted that every graphic designer in their office hates AI.

Ok the Stranger Things finale was pretty good. Hit all the right notes and gave satisfying closure to just about everyone. I whole heartedly recommend. Some spoiler thoughts below. 🧵1/

For Mark so loved the Doctor Crusher season one head gear that he gave it to his only begotten vaccine awareness poster.

One problem with Stranger Things S05 is that no way 80’s kids would just fall in line with creepy Mr. Whatsit and his candle ceremony. We all had stranger danger and satanic panic beaten into our heads.

Sexual choking normalization is getting out of hand in mainstream entertainment. I just saw it in ”I Love LA” and last night in “Marty Supreme”. Especially weird in the latter since it’s a period piece. Interestingly there‘s no sign of it in ”Heated Rivalry”. Funny that…

I love watching old cartoons in high definition. You can see the shadow cast by the cels onto the background by the light shining down during the photo compositing. Sometimes a cel casts a shadow on another cel.

And don't forget

He'll be coming down the chimney, down!

It seems the entirety of Strange New Worlds takes place in 2259. That’s 7 years before TOS S01. Lets calculate how old the TOS crew should be compared to the actors playing them:
Kirk is 26. Paul Wesley is 43
Spock is 28. Ethan Peck is 39
McCoy is 39. Thomas Jane is 56
Kirk is 26. Paul Wesley is 43
Spock is 28. Ethan Peck is 39

Goldsman’s view that there’s evil in the universe isn’t bad. There are plenty of irredeemable villains in Trek: Khan (podcast aside), Chang, Kruge, Satie, Harry Mudd, Gul Madred, Damon Bok, Dr Sevrin. But none of them were a race and all of them had ideologies. The Gorn and Vezda had none. 🧵 1/
I'm STILL peeved about how Star Trek Strange New Worlds treated the Gorn.
