I wish Star Trek was real

There’s a certain kind of Trekkie who gags at the idea of a Star Trek musical and let us be very frank about the reality of the situation: Yes, you will absolutely hate . . . . yourself for loving Khan!!! the Musical!

“You can commit no mistake and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.” ~ Jean-Luc Picard A good reminder that setbacks are not failure. What matters is how you respond, rebuild, and move forward with discipline.

Trekkies: if you see this, post your first experience with Star Trek. I watched the episode “Miri” when I was 7 years old and my life has never been the same! 🖖 The TV was B/W with a 7 inch screen.

The SILENCE = DEATH Project was mobilized to spread the word about the epidemic and created the now-iconic Silence=Death poster featuring the pink triangle as a reference to Nazi persecution of LGBTQ people in the 1930s and 1940s. www.brooklynmuseum.org/objects/159258

It happens to the bust of us…

Jurassic World Rebirth felt like a mix of Jaws and Godzilla.

Jurassic Park is a perfect franchise because the question "why would they keep doing this" is answered by simply asking yourself if you would want to go see a dinosaur. Of course you would want to see a dinosaur.

The literary world's prestigious Taco Bell Quarterly has surpassed 22k followers on Bluesky, which is more than the Paris Review, Granta, and Ploughshares combined. I assure you there is no literary world. It's just this contextual silo from like 20 years ago that's still pointlessly gatekept

A moment for the view. 🏔️😍

Happy Captain Picard Day!
