I get that this is the middle of the woods, and the only thing likely to see me is a deer, but even so, the 6-foot window in this shower was a choice.

What is it about Threads that attracts the weirdest randos to your replies?

Screenshot from Threads where I shared a picture of my car's license plate which reads "ENT NX01" in honor of Star Trek Enterprise's 25th anniversary. Next to the plate is a plumper sticker of a fish with legs with the name Darwin in it. It is stylized to look like the Christian ichthys symbol. A reply to this post reads "Fed up with atheism being forced down my throat everywhere I look."

My best friend told me to claim a spare bedroom in his new house for my permanent use. I think I did a pretty good job of indicating which bed is mine.

Star Trek Enterprise is 25 years old today. I'm glad to have the NX-01 with me on the long road from there to here.

As it is Bisexual Visibility Day, I have to share the greatest magazine cover ever again.

Newsweek from July 17, 1995. The cover story is "Bisexuality: Not Gay. Not Straight. A New Sexual Identity Emerges."
The image is three mildly sinister-appearing people.

Do I need a $4 action figure of Hugh Grant from the D&D movie in my life?

"Hollow Pursuits" is interesting from a costuming perspective. Generally, in season 3 of TNG, anyone who is not main cast or a guest star with a major role wears a spandex jumpsuit from the previous seasons, but here we have 3 minor characters wearing the new uniforms.

Screencap from the Star Trek TNG episode "Hollow Pursuits showing Geordi La Forge, Wesley Crusher, Reg Barclay, and three other engineering officers. Wesley is in his gray acting ensign uniform, but the others all all in the high-collar back-zipping jackets of later TNG.

Also joining my humble collection of Star Trek props is a piece of Enterprise-E stationery from Star Trek Nemesis. (The action figures are not part of the prop collection. 😅)

A friend gave me a shard of programmable matter that was used in Starfleet Academy. I haven't been able to make it do anything yet, sadly.

Beef. It's what's for dinner, or lunch anyway.

I just got served an ad for physical AI slop.

Someone should tell Paramount+ then.

It always feels a tiny bit weird watching a movie from the 90s set in New York because you get establishing shots like this.

This is much better than the colored dots.

My Saurian brandy from Star Trek Wines and Spirits came with an original TOS film cell. Looks like mine is of Chekov in The Tholian Web.

Added another bottle to my Trek-themed bar.

After months of pushing us to use ChatGPT as much as possible, it apparently started affecting the bottom line at work. They instituted a credit limit and advised us to use it "only when it would be especially helpful."

I can't believe I went all day yesterday without sharing this magnificent work of art.

Screenshot of a tweet from @perfectcows which reads "6th graders assignment today was to make a self introduction worksheet that had to include your birthday and things you like. Imagine my surprise when I'm handed this" followed by a photo of a pencil drawing of Kirby happily waving a banner which reads "September 11th"

My first reaction after watching this week's episode was to text @thegoddesslivia.bsky.social. We haven't recorded the podcast on this one yet, but it's probably safe to assume that it will basically be this but with a couple more words. 😂

Screenshot of a text message sent to Chrissie De Clerck-Szilagyi which reads "That was some good fucking Star Trek." She reacted to the message with a "100" emoji.

I'd just like to take a moment to admire the minifigures in the upcoming Downton Abbey Lego set. The likenesses have been captured so well. www.lego.com/en-us/produc...

Four years ago today, I went to see Wrath of Khan in the theater with @roguemogh.bsky.social and @listeningtofilm.net, and Caleb and I are going back to that same theater this Sunday to see Search for Spock!
