What I want to see are battalions of CDF cosplayers in full green body paint.

At some point, Vulcan and Romulans living together on Ni’var will have inter-breeded to the point that distinguishing them as separate will become untenable outside of some extremist enclaves of Vulcan and/or Romulan purists. The equivalent of Voldemort’s highly logical (or conniving) followers.

You got me really excited for a minute. I miss working full time on magazine writing and design. Textbooks are fun, but different.

Oof. Though not wrong. Who do you think, as a studio, is leading the animation pack these days?

Are natives of Ni’var called Ni’vari, or do they retain Vulcan and Romulan nomenclature for their lineage?

As ridiculous as its premise was, I still love that movie. Michael Bay at the peak of his powers.

That shuttle launch sequence alone was worth the price of admission.

Ooh. I’m sorry I missed out on this. There’s a lot I loved about the design of Enterprise. It was an almost impossible brief, to try and show an earlier tech that was still futuristic for the time but a plausible prequel to TOS.

I’d certainly hope so, though the parenthetical designation of Terok Nor would imply it’s the OG star base. Which would be incredibly odd. I don’t think they designed those things to remain in service for 800 years.

...I was miffed at how much less familial and warm it felt than the TV show. Whedon talked on the commentary about making use of movie budgets to make the ship a bit bigger and bluer. IMHO that was a mistake. So much of the power of this show was the found-family on their spaceship home.

I saw the movie first, which is obviously not ideal. I completely missed the show when it first aired, but I enjoyed the film, so I went back and watched the show in the proper order on home media, and fell in love with it. BUT when I went back to the movie...

Yes! The answer is always yes, even if you already finished watching it.

You are a clever marketer, sir.

You’re a brave man to admit it. The pain will get better now.

RFK Jr. wants Dunkin’ to prove drinking its iced coffee is safe - The Boston Globe The warning comes as Kennedy is leaning heavily into his agenda to improve American diets.

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

Survival is overrated. LEGO is forever.

Seriously, I’m not sure it ever biodegrades.

Time to dig out a basement bunker.

“No one watched it, but he did it.” That’s a great sentence. That brightened my morning. Thank you, sir. 🤣

I looked up his post-Drive filmography after seeing this, and holy shit… @mattgoldberg.bsky.social what happened? What’d I miss? Was Neon Demon that bad?

I look forward to snagging this @garethlpowell.bsky.social novel just to find out how you turn two gas giants into ashes and then build a habitable sphere from said ashes.

I kid. I kid. In all seriousness, this looks delightful and appears to have all my favorite sci-fi things.

I can’t wait to dive into his Sherlock Holmes novels. I have them coming up from my TBR pile, right after a couple of Vonnegut novels.

As of a week ago, he is apparently polling 40 points ahead of the literal governor of the state in the primary. Maine is fricking weird, man.

Ugh!

Anybody have recent polling on the primary race? Isn’t the state’s governor running? What are the current odds he wins the nomination?

I read a rather good book that talked about building and opening the park: “Disney’s Land.” I highly recommend it.

You deserve some sort of royalties.

Catherine Beecher is the perfect choice to juxtapose with Charlie Kirk. In the era when American women began advocating for suffrage, Beecher was a prominent anti-suffragist.

And it has been ever thus.

I am probably late to the party, but I had not previously heard “Hair Furor,” and I’m dying laughing, and I just wanted to give a hat tip to the good Commodore. 🤣

“Hair Furor” — I am cackling with no way to stop! 🤣😂😭

He does embrace the mobster mentality with great regularity.
