Ever since I told my old man about this Star Trek posting I've been doing, he's been spamming me with related articles on his Google News feed. Just about all of it is crap, but this was interesting: www.tvline.com/2035419/why-...

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

Star Trek is always so relatable. I’m human and I also don’t have any money…

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

I really like Star Trek: Below Decks S4E7 referencing the tired trope of 'red light robot = evil' and 'blue light robot' = good. "Come on, you can trust me. You're thinking of the old red light Agimus." Fun performance by Jeffrey Combs because it's always Jeffrey Combs.

I keep forgetting how large models can be.
This 1964 photo of the Starship Enterprise studio model used in filming Star Trek was taken outside the production model shop in Burbank, California. It was commissioned by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, a Texan who was born in El Paso in 1921.

Interesting idea. I'm imagining Robert Picardo (played Emergency Medical Hologram on the Voyager series) could be playing a part, but that's probably too silly.
I'm still annoyed we never got the Captain Beverly Crusher medical show especially after All Good Things teased us. 🖖

The upcoming game "Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown" shows promise. The demo is on Steam, and takes less than an hour to experience, or two hours at most. I like what I've seen so far.

Made some Koji. It's a lot easier than I thought it'd be. Saving some for rice wine and the rest for something else. Not sure exactly what yet.

I'm quite surprised, and quite surprisingly happy, to see Star Trek references at the No Kings protests.
Also a great star trek nod
@clairewillett.bsky.social you might enjoy this one

There should have been two Tuvixs. You send two people in and get one person out, you’ve lost an entire person’s worth of matter somewhere.

Or just one really big Tuvix.

I might be using this account for a college course project in future. If I start making lots of posts about Star Trek, then that is why. I might make posts about Star Trek regardless though, so don't make any bets.
