I'm getting infinite shuttlecrafts (can they be runabouts tho?), consoles that don't explode (we'll use the Cordry rocks in the arboretum instead), and a hologram doctor (because a Denobulan doctor wasn't an option - #TeamPhlox).
This is a A graphic styled like a Star Trek LCARS display lists ten humorous upgrade options for building a fictional Federation starship, with a budget of seven credits. The options include: Cloaking device (3 credits) Holodecks that don’t try to kill you (3 credits) Consoles that don’t explode when hit (3 credits) Infinite shuttlecrafts — “the Voyager special” (2 credits) Saucer separation (1 credit) Comfortable bridge chairs (1 credit) A counselor who senses “pain” (1 credit) Warp 10 (2 credits), with a warning that it turns you into a lizard Self-destruct sequence that actually works (2 credits) Hologram doctor (2 credits) The header reads: “You have 7 Federation credits to build your flagship.” The overall tone is playful, poking fun at common Star Trek tropes and flaws.

I honestly think this is kind of a clever troll. I'm sure there will be ELEMENTS of this genre in STA, but I think marketing is really just HOPING for all the knee-jerk reactions.

Jon McBrine posted a pic on X of which this the academy poster is almost certainly an homage: x.com/jonmcbrine/s...
A stylized promotional photo for One Tree Hill shows five young adults lying closely together on a bed, arranged in a crisscrossed, almost star-like formation. At the top left, a young man in a dark sleeveless shirt reclines with one arm behind his head. To the right of him, a young woman with curly blonde hair in a green tank top lies on her side, propped up slightly on one elbow. In the center, a young man in a gray sleeveless shirt lies on his back, looking upward. Below him on the left, a young woman in a pink sleeveless top lies on her side with one hand resting near her waist. To the right, another young woman in a deep red lace top lies on her back with one knee bent, her hand resting on the center man’s arm. All five wear fitted tops and jeans, posed in a relaxed, intimate arrangement on rumpled pale bedding. The One Tree Hill logo appears near the bottom of the image.

One of the first cyberstalking convictions in U.S. history has roots in pro-wrestling, #StarTrek, and an actor who refused to be intimidated.

This case helped prove that online threats aren’t “just words,” but something the law has to take seriously.

🦃 #ThePrimeDetective is off for #Thanksgiving, but I still whipped up a special side dish:

An exclusive preview of one of the final @trek365.bsky.social episodes. It won’t air until December, but Izaak Brown gave us early access! 🎧 apple.co/3XdPmZE

Grateful for his friendship & inspiration.
A rectangular promotional graphic with a purple gradient background. On the left is the square cover art for The Prime Detective podcast: a black background with a stylized Starfleet-shaped outline in teal. Over it, the title “THE PRIME DETECTIVE PODCAST” appears in bold gold lettering, with the “I” in “DETECTIVE” replaced by a magnifying glass containing a black-and-gold insignia. To the right of the cover art, large white text reads “Special guest Trek 365: Thanksgiving Special Preview.” Below, in the lower left corner, is the Apple Podcasts logo in white next to the text “Listen on Apple Podcasts.”

There’s just something about #SaturdayInAthens. Friends, fall air, and that stadium roar. #GoDawgs
A man wearing a red “GO DAWGS” shirt and black hat crouches beside a life-sized painted sculpture of a bulldog. The bulldog sculpture is white with black facial features, wearing a red collar with a metal tag that reads “GAGE.” The sculpture stands on a paved plaza with brick buildings and trees in the background. People dressed in red and walking toward the stadium appear in the distance. A selfie outdoors near the entrance of a football stadium on a sunny day. The same three adult men stand close together in front of the stadium structure. The man on the left wears a white shirt and red hat and sunglasses. The man in the center wears a red collared shirt and gray hat. The man on the right wears a red “GO DAWGS” shirt and a black hat. Behind them are other attendees, an American flag and Georgia state flag on tall flagpoles, and stadium seating filled with people. A selfie taken in a football stadium during daytime. Three adult men stand close together at field level with the stadium behind them. All three are wearing red or black University of Georgia clothing and baseball caps. The man on the left wears a red shirt with white text that reads “GO DAWGS” and a black hat. The man in the center wears a red collared shirt and a gray hat with the Georgia “G” logo. The man on the right wears a white shirt with a red sweatshirt tied around his shoulders and a red hat. Behind them, the field, players, band members, red-clad fans, and the stadium video screen are visible.

A brutal murder in Montreal. A defendant who openly admitted what he did.

And a jury that paused to watch #BlackMirror.

Why would jurors looking for facts need to see a piece of dystopian fiction?

🎧 Get the 10-minute story on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/4oILXOr or wherever you cast pods.
A jury deliberation room with twelve people seated around a long wooden table, all facing a large wall-mounted flat-screen TV at the far end of the room. The screen displays a cracked-glass smiley-face image inspired by the series Black Mirror. A Canadian flag stands on a pole in the back corner. Papers, notepads, and pens are spread out on the table, and one juror near the front holds a remote pointed toward the TV. The room is softly lit by ceiling panels, with beige walls and a dark wooden cabinet in the back.

It is much maligned (and maybe rightfully so) but I have a soft spot in my heart for "Justice." I even got to talk about its influence on me for an episode of @trek365.bsky.social: open.spotify.com/episode/1I2f...
A group of young adults jogs past on a sunny, park-like path in bright, minimal white and pastel athletic outfits. Behind them, several Starfleet officers—Picard, Data, Worf, and Wesley Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation—stand watching them with curious expressions. Lush green trees and shrubs fill the background under a clear blue sky.

Am I doing this right?

If you see this, post a Star Trek!
“Promotional poster for the Apple TV+ series Long Way Up. Two men stand beside heavily loaded adventure motorcycles on a dusty desert road with mountains in the distance. Ewan McGregor is on the right, Charley Boorman on the left. Large text in the center reads ‘Long Way Up,’ with the words ‘Find your outlet’ written in small script to the right.”

Walking the streets of #GreenwichVillage with my own voice in my ears is WILD! Another @trek365.bsky.social episode is out, and it was a trip to experience it in the middle of #NewYork. Thanks, Izaak for letting me be a guest again!
A man stands on a rainy street corner in Greenwich Village, smiling and wearing earphones and a black hoodie over a T-shirt. He holds up his phone, which displays the Trek 365 podcast artwork. Behind him, a yellow taxi and several pedestrians move through the wet intersection, surrounded by classic brick buildings and fire escapes.

Absolutely stunning Saturday in the city!
Two men stand together smiling in front of the Washington Square Arch in New York City on a sunny day. Both wear jeans and casual jackets, each holding a bottle of water. Behind them, the white marble arch rises against a clear blue sky, with tall beige buildings and trees with autumn-colored leaves on either side. The park around them is filled with people walking, chatting, and taking photos.

New episode of The Prime Detective: “Costume vs. Courtroom”

A high-profile trial. A sci-fi superfan. And the real reason she was dismissed from the jury that nobody saw coming.

🎧 Listen: apple.co/3JELaib (or wherever you cast pods)
An AI-generated image depicting a stern-faced woman in a red-and-black Star Trek: The Next Generation uniform, walking confidently past a group of journalists with cameras and a boom mic operator. She wears dark aviator sunglasses and has two futuristic devices clipped to her waistband. The scene mimics a real-life courtroom media frenzy. Overlaid text reads “MEDIA FRENZY,” and in the bottom right is the logo for The Prime Detective Podcast, styled with a magnifying glass over a Starfleet-inspired emblem.

Animated scene from Star Trek: Lower Decks. Two Starfleet ensigns stand on the left in red uniforms, looking toward a group of alien Klingon-like warriors. The warrior in the center wears a wide straw hat and overalls, while another stands shirtless with leather straps across his chest. The lighting is dark and dramatic, like a dungeon or ritual chamber. Subtitles at the bottom read: “*groans* This human is full of words.”

A nighttime photo of five men sitting at a wooden picnic table displaying carved pumpkins lit from inside. The man in the front left is taking a selfie and smiling. Four other men sit behind the table, mostly in hoodies and jackets. The carved pumpkins on the table show various faces and designs, glowing in the dark. The background is very dark, suggesting an outdoor setting at night. Five carved pumpkins sit on wooden outdoor steps at dusk, each lit from inside. The top pumpkin has an angry face with sharp eyes and jagged teeth. On the middle step, one pumpkin has a bumpy surface with a sinister grin, and another has a round carving featuring a bat in front of a crescent moon shape. On the bottom step, one pumpkin shows a wide-eyed ghost with raised arms cut into a circular opening, and the other has a simple smiling face with triangle eyes and an upturned mouth. Gravel is visible beneath the steps.

🎃 Special #Halloween Prime Detective:

You’ve heard the story about the Michael Myers mask. But do you know who proved it came from Captain Kirk’s face, or how far Trek’s #SpookySeason ties really go?

Listen on @spotify.bsky.social or wherever you cast your pods: open.spotify.com/episode/5g3c...
A large orange pumpkin sits against a dark background. Carved or printed on its front is the yellow logo for The Prime Detective Podcast, with the word “DETECTIVE” intersected by a magnifying glass graphic. Emerging from the upper center of the pumpkin is the pale white face of a Michael Myers mask with black eye holes and short brown hair. Above the pumpkin, in bold yellow text, it reads “Skin of Evil” and below that, “The Starfleet Face of Michael Myers.”

🎤 Is Agnes Jurati's show-stopping performance of “Shadows of the Night" the most important 85 seconds of #StarTrek: Picard S2?

I say YES.

Thanks to Izaak for giving me 6.8 minutes on @trek365.bsky.social to prove THIS is the emotional fulcrum of the entire season:

My mom says #ThePrimeDetective Podcast is “so good” she made shirts. I say she’s biased, but I’m not arguing with free merch.

Episode 2: “Danger, Dateline & the Dabo Girl” is streaming now on Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f..., and most of the other pod-places.
Three people standing indoors, smiling at the camera in soft evening light. All are wearing black T-shirts with a large yellow and teal logo reading “The Prime Detective Podcast,” featuring a magnifying glass and stylized delta shape. The person on the left is a tall man with short gray hair and a beard; the person in the center is an older woman with short white hair; the person on the right is a man with short gray hair and glasses. Sunlight streams through the windows behind them.

In case you were wondering…
A man with a gray beard wearing a white T-shirt, white earbuds, and a backward black baseball cap stands outdoors in front of a blue stop sign–shaped sign that reads “YOU ARE HERE.” The sign has been vandalized with graffiti reading “with the TAN,” and several stickers and markings are visible on it. He holds up his right hand, pointing toward the sign, while looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression. Trees and greenery fill the background under a bright sky.

🕷️ Spotted on my walk: Many, many, many Joro spiders. Harmless to humans, pest controller, and honestly beautiful. But if this were to somehow get ON ME? I would not survive. 💀
A large spider with a bright yellow abdomen patterned with red and green markings is centered in a symmetrical orb-shaped web. The spider has long black legs with yellow bands and is suspended against an out-of-focus background of green and brown foliage. The web strands are visible in sunlight, forming a fine geometric pattern across the image.

🕵️‍♂️ This must be the #podcast version of a musician hearing their song on the radio for the 1st time!

Episode 1 of #ThePrimeDetective may cause you to reconsider that vanity licence plate when one woman’s tag puts her on the hook for THOUSANDS in fines.

A man with short gray hair and a trimmed beard stands on a sunny street corner holding up a smartphone. He is wearing a light gray T-shirt and white wireless earbuds. The phone screen displays the podcast artwork for “The Prime Detective,” showing the title and episode information: “The Phantom Crimes of NCC-1701.” Behind him, cars are stopped at an intersection lined with trees, streetlights, and brick buildings under a clear blue sky.

My little neighborhood standing in for Savannah, GA today. Complete with fake Spanish moss in the trees! I THINK this is for the new “Cape Fear” Apple TV show. #Yallywood
“Melissa & Adam Cocina Vacsa” sits beneath mature trees draped with Spanish moss, giving the street a coastal-southern appearance. The mural of a white bull is visible on the left wall, and the restaurant’s warm lighting glows through its windows. Parked cars line the curb in the foreground. To the right, nearby storefronts include one with an orange façade. It is dusk, with the sky pale and trees casting long shadows. A corner brick building at street level in downtown Decatur, Georgia, has been dressed to resemble a restaurant called “Melissa & Adam Cocina Vacsa.” The name appears in white block letters on a large black awning that extends over glass doors and windows. Warm interior lighting reveals a bar and hanging lights inside. The original business sign for The White Bull is not visible. On the side wall, there is a large mural of a white bull’s head painted on dark brick. Several pedestrians walk by on the sidewalk; one man wears black clothes and a hat, and a woman walks beside him. Evening light is visible in the sky. A nighttime photo showing a sidewalk scene with storefronts lit by streetlights. A rack covered in hanging Spanish moss stands on the sidewalk beside orange traffic cones and a pink sandwich-board sign that reads, “BUSY MAKING ‘WOW’ HAPPEN. Keep shopping and dining while the magic happens. Downtown businesses are open.” A large yellow pointing-finger emoji graphic and the words “MOSS RACK” are digitally overlaid on the photo, indicating the rack. The moss appears to be part of set dressing for a nearby film or TV production. Two pedestrians walk past under streetlights. A closer nighttime view of the moss rack shown previously. The rack is made of shiny metal poles arranged vertically and horizontally, with bundles of Spanish moss draped across it. Several orange traffic cones are placed around the setup, one labeled “DPW STREET.” Behind the rack, equipment carts and scaffolding are visible, along with the same pink “Busy Making WOW Happen” sign. The photo is taken on a city sidewalk beside a brick wall, with low yellow light illuminating the scene.
