It was great to hear @georgetakei.bsky.social speak at the @fccjapan.bsky.social today. I appreciated questions from fellow journalists about how his experiences mirror what is happening in today’s world. A Japanese edition of Takei's 2019 graphic novel “They Called Us Enemy" comes out this month.

Here's a comparison of the animated photon torpedo in the original ⬆️ and remastered ⬇️ versions of #StarTrekTNG's "Half a Life". Notice how the graphic had to be recreated from scratch and the length of the torpedo was increased to bring it up to its regular and proper appearance. 👌

I often see this phrase used in stories by a particular CNN science writer: "a star beyond our solar system." Is this clarification needed? How many stars do they think are in our solar system? Why are these words there? Why does the editor leave them in?
