How I arrived on Bluesky.

"I've seen things. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate." This is at that level... watch all the way through.

@heatherantos.bsky.social Oh, hey, Heather! Seems like Starfleet Academy dropped a new comic. ;) (Any future chances of... well... you know. ) (Seriously that would be an awesome tie-in/entertainment crossover).

Hey, Jorg, @gaghyogi49.bsky.social I'm going to guess that you're putting together the Classroom for the Unexplained at some point. Because while love the Sisko pic, there were some others I really want to take a hard look at. ;)

So, Star Trek Starfleet Academy... I was expecting the people who showed up. But... yeah. ... If you know, you know. That was... damn good.

@thomasthecat.bsky.social CONGRATULATIONS, THOMAS! You've worked hard over the years for this and have definitely earned the position! I hope you have a fantastic time at work, and the rewards are many. ... ... Having said that. *Pulls out thick scroll* As to the found issues and glitches... :)

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

There’s no practical difference between the people in Nazi Germany who blamed their country’s ills on the Jews without evidence and the people here now doing the same regarding undocumented migrants. Fascism and scapegoating go hand in hand. This is not difficult.

This is a 'years down the line' sort of thinking with the increased intermixing of alien species in Star Trek. After Season 3 of Star Trek, why do I see a human and Gorn coming together and every single Starfleet Doctor screaming, "ADOPT! YOU CAN'T HAVE KIDS!!!" All because of Patel.

Thoughts are coming up about reciprocation of coffee and food for the National Guard. Talk to them first about it. If it's allowed, take a couple of guards with, to prevent interference or sabotage by ICE.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

aww, they love him so much they’re joining him in the hospital in solidarity that’s kind of sweet

Please listen up about MN National Guard and ICE. Stay peaceful, show kindness to the guard. Maybe show extra kindness to them. Bring them a coffee. They're there for you. youtube.com/shorts/JRsL4...

I thought I remembered something familiar...

Jesus Christ. Abolish and prosecute DHS.

Oh no, we've been through THIS before...

Anyone ever notice how fast all the speculative talk about 'smell-o-vision' disappeared as soon as Trump entered the scene?

Okay, I did not honestly see that coming in Starfleet Academy. Not THOSE two! But, okay. Someone to finally keep her grounded. Good on them!

Hey, @therickwilson.bsky.social It occurs to me that the GOP, deathly afraid of Trump and his thugs have gotten the wrong idea here. They'll do everything Trump wants, right? If they don't, Trump will unleash his hounds. Fine. Trump will do that anyway. They're only delaying. They aren't safe.

"Humans have no greater problem than wanting to know more than a single world can provide." ~me.

If ICE is pushing the screed that they're now arresting suspected child-rapists, demand they go after Sascha Boros (Riley)'s rapists.

BREAKING: "Several Democrats have called for President Donald Trump to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment over his Greenland actions," per Newsweek.

Okay, I've been thinking about how people want Pike to get around his fate. There is a way out but he can never show himself after that moment he disappears to save the timeline. If the accident occurs at Starbase 11, the whole thing could be a setup by the Talosians. But he can never leave Talos.

@heatherantos.bsky.social Hi, Heather. I'm sorry to bother you... But are there plans to continue the ST Prodigy stories in comic format at IDW?

Given the way things are right now, I'm going to point people at ALPHA AND OMEGA, my supernatural Middle East thriller. I'm not 100% happy with it, having had some changes forced on me my editorial fiat. But it's more relevant than I ever dreamt it would be. www.amazon.com/Alpha-Omega-...

I hope nobody suggested pouring water all over their rental cars at night, because that would be awful

Sad to see ice on ice violence.

Trump isn't going for Greenland for the minerals. Trump isn't going for Greenland to break NATO. Trump isn't going for Greenland for Putin. Trump is going for Greenland to make a new giant-sized Epstein Island for his uber-rich friends.

It’s hard to know if people outside MN understand how much of life is grinding to a halt here because of Trump’s occupation. Schools have shut down, businesses are scaling back hours or closing because their employees aren’t safe. The whole city is weighted down.

This is how you can be an ally. They need to feel the cost of what they've done.

Every chant in the streets of Iran is a reminder that authoritarianism is never as stable as it pretends to be.

Danish guy gets it

Since we’re renaming things…

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

@thomasthecat.bsky.social Hey Thomas, is this what server maintenance really like? *he asks innocently, ignoring the 1s and 0s passing in a small crack in the wall* www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlTH...

*I'm still here but super busy with anything but Science Fiction... argh! :) For 2026 getting structure and improving work/hobby/life balance is going to be the main goal. Meanwhile, here is a slightly barebone image of the USS Carver.

May you all have a wonderful Krampus Eve, and remember to leave the little brats out for him to partake. ... ... BRATWURST, PEOPLE! I MEANT BRATWURST!

It's sad, but any organization that has the Epstein Files now has power to control their billionaires and oligarchs and whoever else was involved to behave. That they don't is more tragic.

I hope people understand what I mean when I say this: I never want to see a Republican in charge again in my lifetime. I do however, want a modern version of Teddy Roosevelt in charge.

Without watching it, or just skimming it, like they do with all Trek since 2017, because it makes them money. All I'm asking as a Star Trek fan to other Star Trek fans - give it a chance, see if you like it, and see if you get surprised. Prodigy was directly hurt by that type of campaign.

Well in light of the Netflix-WB deal, I did get a laugh when I saw this.
