The Trump admin is fully powered by the attention economy. A universe of dumbasess talking to other dumbasess, built on the assumption our tastes have grown so rotten and atrophied that we can't even remember a world where we weren't inundated by worthless slop.

I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.

Ify Nwadiwe @ifycomedy.com · 2d

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I could talk about this real/Trek star stuff all day! And pretty much have since I was ... 16?
Yes, THIS was my entre to "pro Trek." I wrote a letter to the Medical Reference editor about their choices, which got me to Geof Mandell, which nearly got me "published" and unpublished...

Are you a #StarTrek fan at #NYCC this Saturday? Go say hi to my bud and check out his new Strange New Worlds novel!

David Mack @davidmack.bsky.social · 4d

For Treklit fans attending #NYCC this weekend, be sure to come to my signing tomorrow, SATURDAY OCTOBER 11, in the Simon & Schuster booth, #3409, from 5PM to 5:45PM! They have brand-new copies of my #StarTrek: Strange New Worlds novel RING OF FIRE for sale. Come help us sell paper!

SNW RING OF FIRE Cover Alt-Text for Bluesky

Book cover for STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS – RING OF FIRE by New York Times Bestselling Author David Mack.

Illustration has a purple-ish space starfield background; very prominent in the center is a black hole surrounded by a reddish-orange-yellow halo of gravitationally distorted light (the titular “ring of fire”). Ghosted and floating in front of this cosmic horror in a pyramid formation are Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush), lower left; first officer Lieutenant Commander Una Chin-Riley (Rebecca Romijn), middle left; Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), top center; science officer Lieutenant Spock (Ethan Peck), middle right; and security officer Lieutenant La'An Noonien-Singh, lower right, brandishing a phaser like the awesome badass she is. It’s a truly badass cover, thought it would have been nice if they’d made my name bigger, but whatever.

I agree with all this. Especially the first two!

I remember football fall *used* to start on the Monday after Star Trek Las Vegas when I'd be loading out, glance at the USAToday on the newsrack in the hotel store, and check the first Top 20 poll there in early August.
Seems like we can blame either climate change or 24/7 media for most everything.

This is me re: YouTubers as well—these 150,000+ -sub channels where the info is unchecked rants or rando urban myth, or murdered misconnected dots...and ESPECIALLY where you never even see a human connection. I get it that not everyone is "made for TV," but c'mon—at least a face to intro, or close!

No— though it needs an update, right?

There's no commercial "PDFs" file... though people with a modem and a printer have been gaming with them for years.... somehow. 😁

The conventional wisdom long before I had the carto-keys just made Ceti Alpha into Alpha Ceti and a real-world placement, and everything in relation has sprung up from there (it was a waaaay long ways out, per the 23rd C speed/distance scales).
