Not only do some anti-vaxxers not give a damn if their kids infect your kids with vaccine-preventable diseases, they even think they’re doing you a favor by “building natural immunity”.

Of course they fail to acknowledge that natural immunity only applies if the infant survives the disease.

Morning practice. I keep focusing on faces. But I wanna work on them before moving on to other studies. Trying to get comfortable thinking in shapes for faces and the underlying building blocks. Should do some skull studies.

Vince Gilligan (Pluribus): “It’s harder than it’s ever been to get something made that’s not based on a previous movie or comic book or video game. Every generation deserves its own stories, instead of just the stories of their grandparents.”

Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn unpack the first two episodes of 'Pluribus' and slam AI: 'Silicon Valley' has 'f---ed up the world.'

Fuck the rich. Time to bring back the guillotine.
Hate to think but I can’t not think about this happening here, specifically in Kherson and occupied land

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.
Genuinely thought this said “The Presidential Waffle House”

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.

Post Someone Who looks Great in a Hat…

…because #StarTrek is about putting Spock in funny headgear.
