Post a picture from your first #StarTrek movie I was so psyched for this when I was lucky enough to see a trailer for TMP at the Phoenix Fan Convention (where I was a volunteer "gopher") over a year before the film was released in 1979.

Just pre-ordered the newest MurderBot novel by @marthawells.com. Not sure how to wait until May...

Cover art for upcoming Martha Wells book Platform Decay, the 8th book in the Murderbot Diaries series. The art shows Murderbot possibly transiting a passageway within a spaceship. Murderbot is gripping an orange ladder moving along the grey walls of the passageway. There is a window behind it showing stars in space, and it appears to be in a "zero-G" environment.

I asked Grok "Do the recent public speeches given by Donald Trump show signs of growing dementia?" Grok's response was lengthy, but here's its conclusion:

Conclusion
Yes, recent speeches (particularly the UN address) exhibit growing signs consistent with dementia, per expert consensus: Escalating disorganization, repetition, and motor/behavioral changes suggest progression since 2024. This isn't definitive without medical access, but the patterns—worsening from baselines analyzed since 2016—raise serious fitness concerns for a president handling nuclear codes and global crises. Public discourse on X and in media reflects alarm, with calls for transparency. For deeper insight, monitor upcoming appearances like October policy addresses.

I may have let a review of a certain gulf...

A 1-star review of the Gulf America on Google Maps: "I read great reviews, but there's a lot broken here. The makers of these maps decided to suddenly change the labeling on the Gulf of Mexico. It sometimes says "Gulf of America", which is confusing. The signage also changes as you zoom in and out. Also, it would be more correct to name it the Gulf of North America. It just wasn't what I was looking for... won't be coming back (to Google Maps).
