There was no coffee in that nebula.

The best captains make iconic poses 🖖

Long before the term existed, Star Trek's heart was "woke" & even though that word has been hijacked & made a cudgel to insult, to ridicule & - at the toxic extremes of social media - to justify prejudice & racism, Star Trek's heart is strong & still beating for those listening

Nice touch that Captain Ake in #StarfleetAcademy is as quirky as Commander Pelia in SNW. I guess one of the defining characteristics of Lanthanites is that they're oddball packrats who think protocol is optional. Lounging around in the captain's chair is such a Lanthanite thing to do.

If the worst of the worst scum of the planet hate it it should be an endorsement to watch #StarTrek

Glad Jenrick has been booted out in disgrace, rather than being able to saunter over to Reform whenever he felt it would benefit him most. But honest to god. These dismal, dismal people. All conniving to screw the county over for their own power and enrichment. Repulsively corrupt and inadequate.

Attention, Bajoran workers.

Perfectly noted.

Just watched the Trekcore clip of the Doctor meeting SAM for the first time, and I noticed this. Lower Decks pushed the representation envelope, and Starfleet Academy is keeping it going 🖖

Yep, I think Lura Thok is going to be one of my favourite characters in Starfleet Academy (video credit: @trekcore.com) www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IZo...

I didn't realise that bots are now eligible to vote

Really looking forward to this. Only a few more days to go until it drops. blog.trekcore.com/2026/01/star...

Ffs. These people are without shame. All grunting around in the trough demanding peerages and then sulking off to Reform: home from home for corrupt Tory millionaires who’ve already had one long go at screwing us over and think they deserve another shot. They can all go to hell.

This is essential: a democracy *must* know who is paying its politicians and where that money is coming from. Cryptocurrency is *designed* to make that impossible. The whole point is to lift payments outside the scrutiny of the state.

People will still debate what Star Trek "should" be but, if they do some research, they'll discover what the man who created it meant to convey:" I believe that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day it learns to value diversity in life and in ideas.” -- G Roddenberry

Haunting. Philadelphia stepped up in the most incredible way.

Do it, do it, do it, do it!

Kayak O'Brien is fine, but what about Battle of Britain O'Brien or Alam O'Brien? C'mon, Lego, you know it makes sense.

So let me get this straight. A republican congresswoman is so in much favour of Twitter users being able to create child sexual abuse images that she's prepared to impose sanctions on the UK if we ban it? (Source: The Guardian, 09/01/2026)

Visionary or time traveller? 🤔

Striking how many people currently explaining the state’s right to murder *other people* were quite hysterical about the state’s right to limit *their own* freedoms during lockdowns.

Honestly think that if you pulled twitter from the App Store and shut it down it would fuck up the entire right wing ecosystem at that point. Like the entire media apparatus would fall apart.

Former government minister, Louise Haigh, calls on the UK government to cease using Twitter. We need to go much further and ban this poisonous platform from our country entirely. Cut off the Russian and magat propaganda at source.

Calling all sane Americans - this cannot be allowed to continue. There are more of you than there are of them.

If you missed this question to Nigel Farage from The Critic's Rob Hutton – and it was over an hour into the press conference – then it was a particularly good one. The answer was... vague.

The USS Constellation will return in "Avengers Doomsday."

The Self-Sealing Stembolt will return in "Avengers Doomsday."

This meme has been circulating in various forms.

"Our conflict also started with a fight for freedoms. We called it the Second Civil War, then the Eugenics War, and finally just World War III. This was our last day. The day the Earth we knew ceased to exist." #January6 #StarTrek

We at First Flight wholeheartedly endorse this! If #StarTrek often responds to the moment of its creation, what does our moment need more than unity? #StarTrekUnited

Absolute nonsense. It's impossible to have a counter narrative when you're at the mercy of an algorithm that down hides anything that Elmo doesn't want to promote. Twitter is not a level playing field - withdraw, and ban it in the UK.

Let's get back to posting!

Congratulations, USA. You're Russia now.

That feeling of the first morning back after the long winter/Christmas break...

Whatever one thinks of the attack on Venezuela, you have to admire the skill and strategic precision of the military forces that stormed Madura's fortress and so effectively removed the Epstein Files from the headlines.

On its birthday, with one image, what's your favourite DS9 episode?

Guess who's not saying anything - yep, Kier Starmer. Instead we get weasel words about not having the "full picture" and being an "advocate of international law". No condemnations from Number 10. What is he afraid of? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Spineless! Playing for time to work out how he's going to spin this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

we have not "apprehended" the president of venezuela. we have invaded a foreign country and kidnapped its leader. what the fuck are we doing here, i am going to lose my mind

"So Mr Trump, what was it that first attracted you to the country with the world's largest oil reserves?"

A defining moment for Europe. If it endorses/fails to condemn this flagrant breach of international law, it will have surrendered its core justification for opposing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela. Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe. Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

How, and more importantly, why is he still alive. Walk towards the light. Don't delay, do it now. www.thepoke.com/2026/01/03/d...

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Well, OK. I guess I'm aiming high this year ... with the emphasis on 'high'.
