Star Trek has always been political. On The Lieutenant, Gene Roddenberry's series before Trek, scripts on racial bigotry and the inhumanity of warfare met network censorship. GR designed ST to use s-f allegory to tell stories that wouldn't otherwise be allowed on network TV.

Wednesday is TRANSPHOBES ARE TRASH DAY! Congratulations to those who celebrate this wonderful day. Also, every other day is also Transphobes are Trash Day, I forgot to mention that.

The nutjobs are coming out of the woodwork with a new Star Trek show with a diverse cast coming out this week. It's fucking hilarious to see them complaining about DEI in Trek when its creator literally said the following:

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

WHAT IF the Enterprise line had continued in the form factor of the original NX?

My old friend, @twopancakes.com, put something cool out into the world. It’s always awesome holding something someone you know created. I can’t wait to play it with my group.

If you have enjoyed #Wolf359OnThisDay don't forget you can read the entire book right now for free at wolf359project.com. I will continue to post events through to the end of Best of Both Worlds

Rang in the new year playing some Magic the Gathering with friends. My new Jurassic Park Commander deck worked out well.

Getting into Star Trek Enterprise again and hitting the heartbreak of there being nothing more after season 4 - are the books any good does anyone know? #startrekenterprise

Some of my Star Trek based art. Enjoy. #scifiart #scifi #fanart #startrek

I had a blast playing Commander last night with @vorpalgazebo.bsky.social and teaching a family member how to play with us.

Just once I'd love to see one of these people internalize criticisms and come back recognizing that they were wrong I dunno, I just think it'd be nice

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

On the heels of the failure of big money pushes for NFTs, crypto, wearables, and the metaverse, it is absurd to hold the position of "AI is inevitable and we must learn to live with it." It's also a craven position that suggests we shouldn't fight for what we value. We decide our own fates.

What a difference a year makes over at Larian.

So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.

Sharing some of my thoughts from the other site but man I'm really pissed off about this shit.

A bunch of people followed me these past few days, welcome and thank you!! I mostly draw Star Trek, (but I do get obsessed with other stuff occasionally). I am working on commissions right now and have a few projects I work on when I can 🔗 www.crowlls.com 🔗 www.inprnt.com/gallery/crow...

I’ve been really looking forward to posting these together #StarTrek

my favorite gals

Creating self-contained bubbles of space-time? DID IT www.popularmechanics.com/science/a696...

My favorite is probably this one I made.... "I knew I should have made that left turn at Space Albuquerque...."

Always love to see great talent using their platform for unabashed good.

ADMIRAL AAAAAAAAAAA /incoherent screaming/ #startrek #startrekprodigy

I had fun teaching my friend how to play MtG commander earlier this week. We’re hoping to make this a more regular thing.

Wasn't happy with the transition from the saucer to the secondary hull, so I fixed it!

Thanks again to the fantastic artist Ste for bringing our bridge crew to life for this portrait. You can witness the skill with your own eyes, but he’s also extremely easy going and great to collaborate with. #startrek #startrekrpg #startrekadventures

Been running a Star Trek Adventures campaign for the past year plus and we just completed a refresh in and out of game. Designed our own uniforms and comm badges, redesigned the ship, and made new custom character sheets. Thanks to my partners in crime @fyerfly.bsky.social @flatasabird.bsky.social

Ste is a phenomenal artist to work with. I couldn’t be happier with the art commissions he worked on for my Star Trek Adventures RPG campaign. If you’re in the market for great art, consider commissioning him. #startrek #startrekrpg

Some sketch ideas for a thing #startrek

Man from the 1970s: “I can’t find the Metroid!”

The way the dragon game occludes the imagination of its adherents is indeed a thing to behold. Suggest a design element that’s been successfully accomplished for decades and they’ll tell you it’s impossible.

The latest Drew Gooden video was excellent. youtu.be/W8Z3MfNpJpE

Posting these again - cos theyre spooky and its spooky day - or pumpkin spice day whichever it is you celebrate 🎃 Some lovecraftian inspired Star Trek horror dream sequences for the everso awesome @wolf359project.bsky.social #startrek #horror #halloween

Carl Sagan was a sage ass dude 💪 From 1995:

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

Starfleet Dress Uniform, mess about #startrek #fashionillustration

That being said, I am continuing my Conan/Kahless agenda

My tabletop fantasy dyad, Crescent and Exile, is now available for preorder at the Mythworks store. 🖤 www.myth.works/pages/cresce... All orders (along with crowdfunding rewards) will be shipping in November. Stay tuned. 🌜💫⚔️

Hey #portfolioday!! I'm a digital artist who creates commissioned art for #startrek #fanfiction projects - Had some wonderful opportunities to help out some fantastic folk and love to help others with their projects - even happy to jump star franchises ;) Thanks so much!

Daily bunny no.3121 begins a new chapter

Reading a book is like stealing an extra life from supply. The books we read -- or films we watch, games we play, etc. -- speak to our deepest desires in the one life we actually have. Why, then, do we so often feel shame in acknowledging those needs?

I like T'Lyn a normal amount

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
