Excited to read the new David Mack hardback, Echoes in Eternity. It clearly takes place in all the sweet spots of my personal Trek.

You have to learn WHY these apps make you continually re-log in and tell you it’s a new device even though it’s the same device you’ve been using that app on for a decade or more.

You never know what you might find in a box in the back of your closet. A STUNNING artifact, amirite?

It’s 106 light years to earth, we got a full tank of dilithium crystals, half a bottle of romulan ale, we’re in a dark nebula, and we’re wearing sunglasses. Hit it.

Leonard Nimoy looking absolutely BADASS in sunglasses.

Apart from that, Ensign, how was your first away mission?

To fight against the proliferation of AI garbage Star Trek “art” out there, I created this 100% human art of a 50% human character. Love long and prosper, suckers.

My beautiful sharpie sketch of Spock with the caption AI is illogical, suckers.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a current headline. But it’s actually from 1948.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy... Dang, this turns out to be 100% accurate.

Hey @nsbulk.bsky.social, I finally got myself a copy of an old Bruce Botnick LP.

Turns out the Professor’s real last name was Forrestal.

Russell “The Professor” Johnson and a young Harrison Ford in a still from a 1969 episode of The FBI. And yes I know The Professor’s name was Roy Hinkley.

I don’t know, but it seems like these outfits aren’t too far from what we’re already seeing…

Friendly reminder from Star Trek the Next Generation that WWIII starts in 2026.

Well, to be fair, I only have the excellent LTK teaser poster (which I paired with the Last Crusade teaser last year as a tribute to 1989).
