Star Trek get's it's own bay at @forbidden-planet.bsky.social London, which is nice. Would like to see more novels in stock though (granted, I'm biased since I've worked on them for over a decade)! Pssst, @daytonward.bsky.social... I turned VULCAN face out.

Five shelves of Trek books, heavy on outsized "art of" type books, light on the novels, which are on only the bottom two shelves.

Maybe Stephen Miller will finally understand his boss's "wonderful secret" with Epstein if he ever has a daughter.

I don’t know who first coined the saying that an Israeli ceasefire means “you cease and we fire,” but it proves reliably accurate time after time.

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

The TrekMovie team is heartbroken by the loss of Subrina Wood, one of the SyFy Sistas. She brought so much to the fandom: a fierce love of Star Trek, a deep knowledge of film and directing, strong and insightful opinions, and a great sense of humor. We mourn her loss.

Speaker Johnson said he has “no strategy” to stop the Republican shutdown.

We can tell. Republicans are cancelling votes, going on vacation, and letting health insurance premiums skyrocket.

Democrats are working and ready to fix this Republican mess.
