The radio station @wtjuradio.bsky.social plans to celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2027 and while this isn't a marathon guide or a show recording, it is ancient

Trekkies: If you see this post your first experience with Star Trek.

A classmate let me borrow The Making of Star Trek overnight, I tried to watch the rerun on WTTG that afternoon, but was thwarted by a sibling, then the next day <- was the "Errand of Mercy" episode. This -> arrives 52 years later.
A scene from the "Errand of Mercy" episode of the original Star Trek series, Captain Kirk is reacting to the Starfleet priority one message while his first officer Mr. Spock stands alongside, the closed captioning reads WAR. A photograph of two tricorder devices based on those seen in the original Star Trek series, on the left a cardboard model I built in the 1980s while on the right the New The Wand Company product.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Dr. Who," or "Transformers."
In the "Kill Oscar Part II" episode of The Six Million Dollar Man, an apparent woman with red hair operates a console, while behind her and dressed in a similar all-black uniform, a humaniform robot with brunette hair is missing its faceplate. In the "Kill Oscar Part II" episode of The Six Million Dollar Man, Oscar Goldman wears a suit and has his hands behind his back, a humaniform robot in an all-black jumpsuit and brunette hair is missing its faceplate and is holding Oscar's arm. The disgruntled Dr. Franklin has turned to confront his captive. In the "Kill Oscar Part II" episode of The Six Million Dollar Man, the face of Oscar Goldman's substitute is seen in closeup, the closed captioning reads ( ROBOT COMPUTING SOUND ). In the "Kill Oscar Part II" episode of The Six Million Dollar Man, a humaniform robot with brunette hair, a neck scarf, and a V-neck top is missing its faceplate, the closed captioning reads "This is a mere warning."

Me and the boys heard you were talking shit.
From the "Kill Oscar Part III" cross-over episode of The Bionic Woman, astronaut and bionic man Steve Austin folds his arms, the lapel points of his unbuttoned shirt reaching the armholes on his jacket (original airdate, November 3, 1976), champion tennis player and bionic woman Jaime Sommers stands more demurely clasping her hands and wearing a paler blue ensemble, while closer to the viewer a suit-wearing, mustachioed, and determined medical professional, Dr. Rudy Wells, also folds his arms in defiance of the military about to do something stupid against his old colleague, the fembot inventor.

In a scene from "The Apple a Day Affair" episode of The Man From U.N.C.L.E., a grim blond (Kuryakin) drives an open top war surplus Jeep through an Old West town, his equally grim brunet fellow agent (Solo) is in the passenger seat, while the voluptuous blonde innocent (Jeannine Riley as Nina) acts nonchalant squeezed between them and sitting on who knows what.

Zuck: The average American has three friends.
In a scene from Bottoms, in a high school hallway, three young women are confronted by an unseen supporter of women, especially if they're hot. PJ (Rachel Sennott) on the left answers, the caption says "Yeah, well, all women are hot to me." Hazel (Ruby Cruz) in the middle has a bit of a blank stare. Josie (Ayo Edebiri) on the right is averting her gaze, she knows PJ is lying.

A scene from Remington Steele has the (Irish) Steele in a leather jacket, Murphy Michaels in a denim jacket, and Laura Holt in a fancier jacket, they're staring into the distance trying to avoid a case of gold-rush fever.

TIL that this is not the first time an honorary name for Little River Turnpike has been opposed
An Associated Press article in The News Virginian of August 15, 1979 describes the opposition at a state highway department public meeting to a proposal to add an honorary name (for John S. Mosby, because of his activities as a Confederate, not as a post-war Republican) to Little River Turnpike. The article also quotes politicians against, for, and indifferent.

Me, read a SF rom-com? A chapter into Full Speed to a Crash Landing by @bethrevis.bsky.social I cast scavenger Ada Lamarr—wisecracking goof hiding techical expertise and an energetic thirstiness—with Ruby Cruz from Bottoms and everything snapped into place. Spoilers, I bought the sequel yesterday.

If you see this and like Star Trek, drop an image from the first Star Trek episode you remember

I would later figure out the bits of the original series which didn't sustain my interest before I read The Making of Star Trek paperback were mostly from third season episodes like "The Cloud Minders"
On the cloud city Stratos a ground-dweller in a blue gown that reveals her midsection is cuffed to a stone column as the High Adviser of the Council, his daughter, and two Sentinel guards await the torture rays when the captive refuses to talk.

A photograph of a set of brick pavers each with an engraved name or two, each was sold to support the renovation of the depot at 701 Main Avenue in Fargo, North Dakota back in the early eighties. The photographer has found the three that share a surname.

I discover that the Wells Fargo at 4651 King Street closed last year, after completing a minifig-scale version in 2016 I asserted that the original was built in 1967. This construction follows the examples of the Pizza Hut by Ames and the Burger Delite on Edsall Road in surviving its prototype.
A photograph of a construction in LEGO elements shows a blocky white building with mid-60s style, it bears Wells Fargo branding. In front of the bank, a gray Brinks truck, also in LEGO elements, waits.

Is this a thing? Scotty actually says “Transporter room, do not engage, do not—” so this is a quick edit.
A screenshot of a dramatic scene in 1979's Star Trek The Motion Picture where Admiral Kirk stands by as Scotty uses the comm in the engine room of the refurbished Enterprise to implore the transporter room operator to not engage the device while it is malfunctioning, the closed captioning has been faked to state BLUESKY POSTER, DO NOT ENGAGE!

Post a picture of yourself to show the newbies what they're dealing with.

I let issues of The New Yorker interrupt my reading of The Divide but that’s not a criticism as I’m reading it again. The protagonist experiences economic marginalization and fragmented identity in LA and beyond and I have but one note on her travails: Jenny never says what her “old beater” is!

I'm not her target audience, but But How Are You, Really by @brosandprose.bsky.social had me gripped from the description of a dorm room at Hein University and never let go. That’s a “bi” pin on the jacket design by Vi-An Nguyen as Charlotte Thorne is back on campus attending her five-year reunion.
An illustration of a woman wearing a blue jacket showing her shoulder with a 'bi' pin and a HELLO I'M label, except it says A NOVEL and the writing is the author's name.
