I know shit is bleak right now, but we started watching Star Trek Lower Decks with my kiddo and she finds it fucking delightful. However, this may cause her to be more influenced by Beckett Mariner, and that may lead to our downfall.

Some editor's notes for DJT: The Great State of Minnesota is being overrun by fascists. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your Federal Government. Your President is thief, and incompetent leader.

Susan Collins: "We all wrote to the Inspector Generals!" That we allowed Donald to castrate. A useless gesture by a separate branch of government exercising NO CHECKS AND NO BALANCES. Fuck off Susan Collins. Fuck all the way off. Borrow the pair you let them take from the ISGs.

Although the manpower figures are staggering, the numerical advantage in artillery has to be shrinking even faster. Would love to see some estimates on that, and an analysis of what kind of tipping point it would make.

Platinum is a key component of the catalytic convertors in are cars that help filter exhaust gases, making them less harmful. It is one of the densest elements: a cube just 15 cm wide weighs as much as a human being, and a single gram can be stretched into a wire over two kilometres in length.

Ron Swanson is a legend because he never let his comfort zone get in the way of his personal pleasure. If something he thought he wouldn't like ended up being a delight? He adjusted himself rather than deny himself the pleasure. This is a wonderful way to live.

This is, bar none, the stupidest fuckung thing I’ve ever heard. And the idea that there’s nobody in the chain of command - civilian or military - with enough courage to say so is a disgrace.

Star Trek Corrected Captions @startrekcc.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

New contender for the dumbest meme I've ever made (admittedly the bar is low). #StarTrek #StarTrekMemes #StarTrekDS9

Top panel: Dr. Julian Bashir is sitting down to a meal. There is a tray of food on the table in front of him, prominently featuring a plate of Klingon gagh. Julian puts his hand over the food, and with a look of unease says, "Ugh. It's a little early for gagh..." However, to the right there is a comic book word bubble pointing offscreen with the word "NONSENSE!" inside.

Bottom panel: Worf is holding up a box of Bagel Bites with Gagh. He says, "With gagh on a bagel, you can eat gagh ANY time!"

Star Trek IIIs incredible inventiveness. The move to a more modern Klingon look, the star base, the Excelsior class, it may not be loved by the entire fan base, but it introduced many long-lived and well-loved parts to the universe. Genesis? Genisis is planet forbidden! Permits, many, money more.

There's a pernicious belief, widely believed, that if a platform isn't on its way to becoming the biggest platform then it's on its way to failing. That belief is silly. So let's stop talking about Bluesky as if that belief is true.
