Tired, old nerd, sci-fi & Trek fan. I don't care what era of Trek you like or hate just as long as you treat each other with dignity & respect. Okay? It's literally that easy to do. Gen-Xer with one foot in the grave. Progressive/SocDem till the day I die.

Hi.
I'm Chuck. Actually, I was named after my father but my mother thought "Chuck" was a better name to call me by. Needless to say, it had mixed results.
Anyways - welcome to my Bluesky page. Oh and here's a picture of me at the Kennedy Space Center.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.
Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.
It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

Justice is on our side. This aberration we're seeing right now is the last gasp of white racism, oligarchy and christo-fascism and I am totally here for it.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

Opinion | Stephen Miller's viral 'Star Trek' post is 'beyond parody'
The diversity on display in "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" that has conservatives riled up has always been at the heart of the sci-fi franchise.

I dislike when people reduce important, history-making moments in modern life to pop culture references.
But also fuck it, this is a super great time to rewatch Andor.

Shutting the government down because the president’s thug army keeps murdering American citizens for no reason seems pretty reasonable, IMO!
