I am cleaning out my parents' basement and I found this in a box.
This is my teenage VHS copy of Tomorrow is Yesterday, The Return of the Archons, The Menagerie parts one and two, A Taste of Armageddon, and Space Seed.
That's a darn good tape.

I have a friend who is an artist and she asked me for some inspiration for something to draw. Of course I thought of something Star Trek related, and look at what a good job she did!!

THE LAST OF ITS KIND. There is something special about the connections we make in early adolescence. I fell in love with TOS around age 11, which was 1986. I was among the last generation for whom Star Trek was solely TOS. Had I been born a just bit later I’d likely have been a TNG fan…

This is the sort of thing you cannot admire enough 🤩

Over two decades separate these shots of the Klingon D7 Battlecruiser and it’s amazing how few changes were made to it. The aesthetic of Star Trek changed a lot from the tv series to the movies, but some designs are just too darn good to mess with—I adore this ship!

This was basically The Force Awakens.

If there are any gaps in the US support, Europe should be willing to fill in, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said.

⚡️“Peace Deal” in name only.

While Trump strolls untouched by his own erratic refusal to arm Ukraine 🇺🇦, Ukrainian children are murdered in their sleep by Russian bombs.

👉 Appeasement isn’t peace. Its surrender disguised as diplomacy.

Alexei Navalny’s Prison Diaries The Russian opposition leader’s account of his last years and his admonition to his country and the world.

Pursued relentlessly by the government of Vladimir Putin, the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died in prison. He left behind an account of his final years—and an admonition to his country and the world.

This is the best and of course. “What changed:”. Nope not the bill… not anything. The so called “moderates” who always were going to collapse and everyone else got…. A call from Trump. Of course
