I was finally able to give to my friend @liladam87.bsky.social’s memorial fund.

I will always miss you my friend. I will try to live my life by how you were a positive force.

Paul Giamatti has also been watching Trek since he was 8 and has longed to be on it.

Diane Keaton, the Oscar-winning star of "Annie Hall," the "Godfather" films and "The First Wives Club," among many others, has died. Watch her light up the screen in a few of her most iconic performances. Read more about her life and legacy: bit.ly/471G72Z

This looks so fun. Glad for retuning crew like The Doctor and Jet Reno.

Rant approved. I take hours to edit my podcasts to what I would enjoy listening to.

Charlynn Schmiedt @ohtheprofanity.com · 1d

Is it just me, or have podcasts in general gotten lazier about about maintaining quality? I mean this in every respect: clean audio quality, quality of information, presentation by the speakers, and especially editing. Holy fuck have I had it with podcasts that don't edit. Ready for a rant? 🧵

As several people have chimed in, yes, Lower Decks also was reaching out to a different demo, and was a masterclass of writing. It was also very steeped in 90s nostalgia (which I am not saying is a bad thing) but does dock it some points on this particular scale

I’ve said before that Prodigy is the best Star Trek of the current era. SNW is fun for modernised faux-nostalgia, Disco was great for pushing into a new era, but Prodigy, and now Academy, reaching out to people who aren’t traditional Trek demographics is actually making the best Trek

Ted (& technically Ro) @brandtandstein.com · 8h

Like we saw with Prodigy, current Trek is actually fantastic at reaching out to groups outside their core base and should be doing more often

Happy for Friday, payday and the weekend ahead.

Every day we face challenges, but we need to find the small things in life that bring us joy.

Grateful for friends, family and another day under the sun.

Absolutely! I love the Tron franchise and want to support it any way I can.

The music and visuals were incredible. The story was good and relevant with AI and commentary on the future of technological advancement. A solid 4/5.

I hope we get another!

Eric Berry @trekkieb47.bsky.social · 2d

Perfect way to end the day.

I loved Tron: Ares!

All that’s keeping me going today is tacos for dinner and Tron: Ares with my friend.

Oh wow! I would definitely watch “Space Seed” from the Original series which takes place before this. Then watch Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan after this series.

Nothing like walking out of your house and seeing the beautiful Harvest Full Moon.

The last pic is with Theresa’s iPhone 17 Pro Max and see took an even closer picture.

Harvest full moon outside our front door as the sun begins to rise.

Great, real talk about the streaming, social media, political era of Star Trek we find ourselves in.
