Knocked up a quick interpretation of that graphic for Kirk's quarters this morning. Then it occurred to me to check the TMP sticker book and it is indeed in there too, as is Ilia's. No idea if it actually appears in the films tho.

It might not be The Waffle House, but this administration sure is giving The White House an opulent Cheesecake Factory redo.

Port Huron Times Herald, November 12, 1966. I did not know Leonard Nimoy based Spock's speech patterns on Somerset Maugham! Remarkable.
"Spock probably learned English formally. To achieve this kind of speech pattern I listened to recordings of Somerset Maugham reading his own short stories."

You sometimes see a black and white photo of Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard, wearing a #StarTrekTNG season 1/2 uniform, claiming this is from an early 1986/87 make-up test with Stewart wearing a wig ⬅️. Instead this is from the 2353 flashback scenes in "Violations"➡️. 🧵 1/3

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

When they say there’s “no money,” remember there is money, they just don’t want to spend it on us.
Key amendments GOP voted NO on:
1. Use $40B from Argentina funds to extend ACA tax credits for 2 years
2. Remove $500K lawsuit perk for GOP senators whose phones were seized
3. Block $350M taxpayer-funded ballroom

I love all the thought and explorations done for TMP even if none of it every materalized on screen. A lot of futurism went into the film. Much more than any later production.

I agree with Frakes. #StarTrekTNG needed a trimuverate of its own. Originally, GR wanted it to be the three stages of a Starfleet officer: Picard, Riker, and Wes.
But I think it should’ve been Troi, Riker, and Picard. Troi was more Spock-like, plus her relationship with Will adds spice.

I go all Lois Lane on Lt. Ortegas’ brother and whether he’s a journalist in our review of “What is Starfleet?”.
And @mark2000.bsky.social helps me process my visceral reaction to the excellent WEAPONS. More over, Pennywise. Get out, Freddy and Jason. Aunt Gladys is in the hood.

#SNW documentary style episode “What is Starfleet” is less Ken Burns and more Project Veritas. We talk its journalistic merits as well as what side of a conflict should be scrutinize more. Then our discussion of the 2025 film Weapons goes from addiction to school shootings to… the housing crisis?

Morning sketch practice. This feels hurried. Tried experimenting with blending. I prefer crosshatching. Proportions feel way off. I’m gonna have to adapt the head figure technique I’ve been toying with.

From a cost effective standpoint, STAR TREK: YEAR ONE could happen first so long as they don’t destroy the sets
Unfortunately, LEGACY now has costly startup costs since the sets are dust.
Tawny Newsome’s sitcom might also be first, given the development money spent. #StarTrek

What do you think will happen first folks, ST: Legacy or a new series with Capt Archer returning ?
