The hate for this poster drives me nuts. Starfleet Academy is a COLLEGE. This poster looks like the cover of the admissions pamphlet you get on your first day at any college, showing an oddly-multicultural group of pals lounging around on the quad.

20 episodes into #StarTrek, the Klingons don't exist yet. 20 episodes into TNG, Tasha's alive. 20 episodes into DS9, the Dominion has never been mentioned. 20 episodes into VOY, there's FIFTY episodes to go before Seven of Nine arrives. We'll never know what we're missing with #StarfleetAcademy.

I'm willing to bet that if Star Trek Legacy had gone forwarded, the vast majority of the "No one asked for Academy! We want Legacy instead!" crowd would still have hated it.

Honestly it's mostly me hiding money from myself until later so I can't spend it on candy.

This is wild: a company is secretly scanning the internet for Zoom meeting links and turning them into AI-generated podcasts for $$$. Some meeting participants only found out after we told them. Included meeting on protecting kids from ICE, was supposed to be private www.404media.co/this-company...

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

I find the idea that Gen Z are making large purchases on their phones extremely upsetting. Flights? My friends, get a hold of yourselves, get your lives together.

John Fetterman is a machine for turning gas station burritos into pure divorced guy energy.

Minnesota is set to see its third No Kings protest this weekend, with gatherings around the state. The previous protest in October saw demonstrators in St. Paul filling nearly four city blocks. Organizers expect this weekend's protest to be the largest yet.

Skyrim NPC: Oh, thank the Divines you came along when you did. You've saved our Guild, and can think of no one better to lead this noble organization into a glorious future. Me: Hey. Hey. Buddy. Listen to me: you will never see me again. NPC: But we need- Me: Off to join another guiiiiiiiild!

This show is great and it deserves six seasons and a movie

I aspire to the level of Suburban Brain Excellence required to start a physical fight with Jack Reacher because you perceive him to be in violation of HOA bylaws. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...

Let’s all remember to purchase the Starfleet Academy comic series which debuts on April 15th.

If Kerrice Brooks doesn't have a job lined up within the month we burn everything to the ground.

I'm pretty sure they could have scraped Elvis' corpse off that toilet at room temperature and Trump still wouldn't win.

I didn't think anything could have definitely-not-happened any more than Trump's supposed high-level talks with Iran, but this imaginary landlord's weird fantasy didn't-happen even more than that.

I could not give a flying f—k about Star Trek: Year One. I would take all four seasons of #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy in a heartbeat over one season of Year One. This show was phenomenal Star Trek. A colossal misstep by #Paramount+ and David Ellison.

I know they’ve got the Tyler Sheridan garbage, but I wonder if Paramount knows how many people subscribe to their service ONLY for Star Trek? And how many of us have the old shit on physical media.

Were I running a TV company with a big franchise under its umbrella, I would keep shows connected to said franchise in production until I'm absolutely sure we're ready and able to do another movie like we've been trying since 2016

god the whole s01e03 to s2e10 run of For All Mankind is what i call some Television Writing

I'm not ready to comment. I'm just very, very sad right now. #StarTrek variety.com/2026/tv/news...

I don't know where the term originated, but I know that my deep, clearly-enunciated delivery of the term comes from "Altered Beast."

Bus ride from STL to DC to protest the inauguration in 2017. Car trips from Chicago to Orlando, Chicago to Virginia, STL to Colorado.

Isaac Newton discovers Pink Floyd's Dark Sude of the Moon (1660s)

was reading an article about the heat dome out west and they just casually dropped the line "it's because of the weakening jet stream" and it blows my mind that the jet stream dying doesn't even register a blip on the Crisis Meter these days

I wonder if there was ever a case where a dude died because he liked to wear monogrammed clothing but his initials were "DNR"

Every Friday after market closes trump posts that he is gonna nuke Iran, and the markets drop. Every Monday before markets open he lies that he spent the weekend talking with various world leaders, who all respond "what the fuck, no we didn't." The markets bounce back.

💀

Once again remembering that I can replace "Gaston" with "A Sean" in the song and really gas myself up.

My son, Gaston, is so based when we went to dinner he asked for four dozen eggs to help him get large. Then he asked for five dozen eggs to become roughly the size of the barge. The LA waitstaff was stunned

I normally don't share Substack links and hope that someone will move this *off* of Substack for more ethical sharing. This is important enough that we need to know it exists, even if it's hosted on the Nazi blog site.

The United States caused this. The United States is responsible for the deaths of these innocent people.

Buffy & Supernatural

We need to strip these kids of their wealth and power and force them to wander the land with their wise uncle until they can capture the Avatar.

Listen: If you want a SIGNED hardcover of the next book, those are only available via preorder and only at one online bookstore (they are the same price and they will ship anywhere). It's not out for several months but don't wait or you'll forget: bit.ly/signmycrab

that fake report to ICE helpline the comedian set up to see had basically only 3 kinds of caller- people angry at a neighbour for being happier/wealthier than them, people trying to punish someone at their workplace and (mostly but not exclusively) dudes who are trying for revenge on an ex

The *last* lost episode. We did it, folks.

We have ceded the moral high ground on Nazism. Well done, everyone!

Wouldn't that make the mythical Jody the biggest gold-star guy there is?

Top 10 Video Game Weapons (Sean): 1) Cerebral Bore (Turok 2) 2) Laptop Gun (Perfect Dark) 3) Remote Mines (GoldenEye 64) 4) Gravity Gun (Half-Life 2) 5) Windshear (Skyrim) 6) Holorifle (Fallout: New Vegas) 7) Needler (Halo) 8) Lancer (Gears of War) 9) Fat Man (Fallouts) 10) Service Weapon (Control)

WBBM 780 in Chicago (associated with CBS news radio) can be heard from Springfield IL all the way up to Milwaukee in the right conditions. This is really sad.

Speechless.

Americans have been forced into a situation where if they don't constantly keep their heads down, they will be homeless. They can't take sick days, let alone vacations, let alone get involved in political protests. Gas prices destroy what equilibrium they had left.

Though I will say, given all the recent attention "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls has gotten, that "City of Angels" is also unusually stacked.

The Batman Forever soundtrack outshines its own movie by orders of magnitude.

I was never a Chuck Norris guy, and obviously dude sucked politically, but I did always have a soft spot for the 1992 Chuck Norris/Jonathan Brandis movie "Sidekicks," where Norris is a symptom of Brandis' maladaptive daydreaming.

‘It’s not racist to make fun of Arab names if you’re using it to draw an equivalence between defending Taiwan and killing hundreds of thousands of Arabs in a war of aggression’ is a helluva way to show how not racist you are
