The tricorder prop we see during Data's "Mr. Tricorder" bit contains a MST3K reference, meaning that Crow T. Robot is canon in the Star Trek universe. www.tng-picard.com/collection/m...

Um, what?

When I was 5 adults worried I would be kidnapped by child-sacrificing Satanists. When I was 8, they worried that drug dealers were giving out free crack on playgrounds. And when I was 11 they worried that MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" would brainwash me into becoming a juvenile delinquent.

Whenever an act of terrorist-type violence happens, officials of the country it was directed against always say "[NAME OF COUNTRY] will not back down" and this is always reported as news. When have officials ever said "We've talked it over, and [NAME OF COUNTRY] will totally back down." ?

Star Trek was so far ahead of its time that Captain Kirk had an arranged passphrase in case someone tried to use a deepfake version of him to give orders to the crew.

Watching “The Menagerie” on PLUTO TV right now, and I always love when Mendez asks Kirk if he ever met Captain Pike. 😜

While we were being sarcastic on the Internet, Neil Breen went and made another movie. It's about—and prepare to be shocked—a fantasy version of Neil Breen who's the bestest secret agent ever, despite looking like an alien who got their human suit on Space Temu. youtu.be/o0DGnxayGFM?...

Now here's a Black Friday deal I can get behind! (Of course, in order to get the "free" case you had to buy a PowerBook, and the cheapest model was $2149 in 1993 dollars—about $4830 today.)

Time to make restaurant reservations!

My favorite Star Trek movie was released OTD in 1986. I love everything about The Voyage Home; it's perfect all the way through. Happy Star Trek IV Day, and a double dumb ass on everyone!

As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.

Adapt “The Tin Woodman of Oz”, you cowards.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

The Cylons were created by man.

Data and Picard on the pad of the Enterprise E transporter room, which is a redress of the Voyager set, which is a redress of the TNG set, which is a redress of the TMP set, which is a redress of the Phase II set.

These Good Morning America segments from 1986 are the last time we ever saw the Star Trek movie sets in their 23rd century configuration before they were massively reworked for TNG. youtu.be/s5XwlZ0knQg?...

Pretty reasonable price, actually.

Introduce yourself with four spaceships. (Only 4? This is hard.)

Park hours are up on the WDW app for the week of our trip (last week in January) and I'm bummed that there's no extended evening hours at MK any day that week. I really wanted to walk around the uncrowded park at night and take footage for this video project idea I have.

WDW website lists Restaurant Marrakesh as "temporarily unavailable" even though they literally turned into a lounge. What else is "temporarily unavailable"? The Contemporary North Garden Wing? Tom Sawyer Island? The Astuter Computer Revue?

A magical Eighties' kitchen in blue. I would love to have a kitchen like this.

This is a really awesome look at the 2 seasons of the Disney Sunday Movie that aired on ABC in the 80s: youtu.be/_32XF-N2pmg?...

Counterpoint: No.

Ever since my first iPhone with Siri, I've been able to say "Call [person's name]" and it would place a telephone call. A few weeks ago I got my first phone with Apple "Intelligence" and when I asked Siri to call someone in my contacts it tried to send them a text with a FaceTime link.

Now THAT'S a room.

So on one hand the agentic AI does nothing useful, but on the other hand it could install malware on your PC! Gee, I can’t imagine the downside.

Hey I've got a crazy idea for a Disney ride. You're on a tour of some kind of "institute" when something goes wrong, and--get this, it'll blow you away--you actually help save the day by passively experiencing the ride! Can you believe it? And maybe a celebrity could make a filmed appearance!

"With the new Model Context Protocol (MCP) on Windows, the company also announced today a standardized framework allowing AI agents to connect with third-party apps and tools to perform various tasks."

We’re dogsitting for my brother-in-law while him and his wife are out of town. Our chihuahua, Leeta, is finally learning to coexist with her energetic younger cousin. His name is Tony.

Finally watched Fantastic Four last week. I'd love to see an entire Stan Lee-Jack Kirby-Steve Ditko MCU set in this universe.

In Star Trek: TNG's "Eye of the Beholder" a character says, with a completely straight face, "It's not like Dan to take his own life" and it's one of the most unintentionally hilarious lines ever.

My WDW trip is a little over 2 months away and I’m looking forward to it but I’m also pre-disappointed that I’m not going to get to do most of the nerdy out-of-the-way little things that I want to do but my wife thinks are stupid.

So, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, who lead very busy lives and are frequently away from home for a day or two at a time, made the brilliant move of getting a dog with separation anxiety.

I am once again asking for one free Lightning Lane per day for all resort stays.

What's your unpopular Star Trek opinion? Gene Roddenberry was a hindrance after 1969. He got drunk on his own BS and viewed Star Trek solely as a vehicle for pushing his loopy ideas and sticking it to any exec who ever told him no about something. The Executive Consultant role suited him best.

Sit back, folks, and let me tell you the true story of an alien who was such a weirdo on his own world that he came to Earth and took human form. Unfortunately that form looked like a bad wax statue of Richard Hatch that was partially melted. Yes, I’m talking about Neil Breen. (1) …
