Dad, Connoisseur of the Finest Nerditry, Pretty Good Guy. Would love to get off social media long enough to write any of the books I have percolating on Notion right now. Sigh.

Name change, I know, doesn't help.

Seriously. This is BAD.

Horrifically disappointed.

I called my Dad today. He told me he was watching Star Wars.

I’m 50 years old. I don’t know that my Dad has ever watched Star Wars in my life.

And topping it off: he liked it. He said it was good!

Maybe I’m biased, but I see in The Doctor, the Ultimate Girl Dad: fun and whimsical always ready to take his girl(s) on adventures, wise, excited (but not too excited) to see his daughters grow, and all the while ready to bring the fury of all his years down on anyone who dares harm his girl.

Lesson from last night: The future of the Democratic Party is what it’s always been: whatever the locals determine it is. If Virginia Dems want moderates, let them elect moderates. If New York Dema want to elect Democratic Socialists, let them do that.

I’m actually happy they’re not maintaining Trek 4, though I appreciate people being disappointed. It sounds like they’re done with prequels.

Got a new phone. Factory reset my old device, so now I can’t access my Facebook, insta or Threads accounts. FML.

Archer should be prosecuted for piracy. The fact that he was never court-martialednis APPALLING.
what star trek political opinion would you have if you lived in universe? would you still be weird about the xindi? would you be one of the people who protests the Klingon embassy in Paris? Me, i'd be a borg truther

Figured out why I like the original Mass Effect series so much more than Andromeda.

It's Shepard.

Paragon Shep is the best possible version of me/the player. Renegade Shep is the "coolest."

Ryder is just some person. They're just kind of "meh."

It's hard to fall in love with "meh."

Enrolling in insurance at my new job. I have to pay A SURCHARGE to out my wife on my insurance because she is eligible for insurance through her own job. Almost $100 because we want to pay for a more expensive plan.

America, man...

Well there it is.

"Tell me another story about The Shepard."
"one more story."

They're alive in the sequel. I will take no further input on the matter.

What happened to the Husks after Synthesis? Do they get their lives back?

He's spot on. Star Trek audiobooks solidified my fandom as a kid/teenager. They were a great way to engage with the stories (even the abridged ones - James Doohan, George Take and Leonard Nimoy read them!)

Writer friends, I need validation:

I stopped writing comic scripts a while ago because, TBH, it costs more than I can afford to get an artist to work with me on the comics. But switching to prose has been difficult.

So I was thinking: why not keep writing comic scripts and use those as...

When Mark Warner isn't equivocating, you know you messed up.
It boggles the mind. Robbing Peter and Paul to pay Donald.

New idea for Commander Shepard casting.

Same thought: alternating back and forth as FemShep/MaleShep without mentioning it.

Do I have any Gundam fans among my BlueSky friends?

We give too much space and credence to the bigots and idiots among us.

Thanks to my GLP-1s, I'm not weight for my height anymore per the BMI chart. Last time I wasn't overweight, Bill Clinton was President.

I'm rather pro-AI and I think this is a foolish idea. Wills are a thing.
“For more than a decade, researchers have wondered whether artificial intelligence could help predict what incapacitated patients might want when doctors must make life-or-death decisions on their behalf.”
Should an AI copy of you help decide if you live or die?
Doctors share top concerns of AI surrogates aiding life-or-death decisions.

The Burn period is 100+ years., I thought?
I like that the Burn period is a solid 1000 yrs of untouched playground to mess with, when so much of what we get is over the same 100ish yr period (or a thousand years forward now HOORAY!).

Got caught up on all the IDW StarvTrek comics and, well...I'm not sure I'm the target market? I mean, that's the only way I can explain the broadly negative feelings I have for all of them.
