Star Trek TNG premiered on this day, September 28th, 1987 with the first episode titled “Encounter at Farpoint.” I remember how excited I was for the premiere. It was soooo different from original Trek I loved every minute of it. Hearing the words “Where no *one* has gone before” in the opening credits instead of “No man…” and the scene with Data escorting McCoy gave me goosebumps.🖖 #StarTrek

As a big fan of both Trek and Discworld, I support the flawless logic of this crossover 😜😂

Andy Weir is a fucking idiot. There, I said it.
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS STORIES WITHOUT SOCIAL COMMENTARY, you absolute shithead! The only reason you think there is is when you agree with the commentary in question - say, when you write your own stories.
The only people you help by pretending otherwise is bigots. Which is why you were on the Critical Drinker podcast.
If you're too stupid to understand that you've lost my respect.
I should really watch DS9 again, in my not so humble opinion it's the best Star Trek there's been so far 😊

#introduction time! My name is Matt, I'm new to veganism.social, but not new to the #Fediverse. I first joined in 2018 on a #mastodon instance that's probably gone by now. I've been leaving and coming back over the years due to health and life circumstances, but I've been consistently back on for a while.
Anyways, I'm an #opensource web developer (#php / #vue), #punk / #metal musician, #anarchist, #antifascist as hell, #feminist, #ally, and hater of #bigtech and what #ai is doing to our planet. Speaking of our planet, I am a #vegan for health and ethical reasons, but I am not going to be shitty towards people if they're not.
I'm in the process of building out my own little spot on the #indieweb / #smallweb so I can return to running my mouth on a blog.
If I followed you, it's probably because we have common interests, or I enjoy your brand of #shitposting. Or you've activated my inner-geek with #startrek and #videogames.
Anyways, thanks for reading all of this. I hope the attached picture of Marvin the Mushroom has brightened your feed in some way.

Ich mache #Podcasts. Gute Podcasts. Sie sollen dich unterhalten, dir Wissen vermitteln und dir Gesellschaft leisten. Das ist mir wichtig.
Dafür rede ich mit tollen Menschen ausführlich über #Filme, #Serien und #Videospiele. Manchmal auch über Leben, Technik, Ernährung oder etwas anderes, über das ich offenbar dringend einen Podcast machen muss. Wir lachen, schweifen ab und nehmen manche Details ernster als nötig.

MY NEXT PERIPHERAL
HAS LEGS 💎
I’ve been looking at one of the new AI-powered exoskeletons, and I realised something. For me, the interesting part isn’t really the exoskeleton.
IT'S THE AI.
I have left-side hemiplegic weakness after a major stroke. When I walk, one side of my body is doing something quite different from the other. I use a lightweight carbon fibre stick. Conscious balance matters and can be exhausting. So fatigue matters. The terrain also matters: flat concrete, slightly downhill, is perfect.
So why should an intelligent system simply sit in my computer talking to me? Why shouldn’t it come walking with me in a more practical way?
The AI would already know how I normally move. It would notice when my left leg is tiring or dragging and compensate by adjusting powered assistance, while keeping an eye on my balance, helping with navigation, and calling for help if something went seriously wrong.
MY EXOSKELETON WOULD JUST BE ANOTHER PERIPHERAL.
Like my headphones. Like a monitor or a camera. The intelligence should be the same intelligence I already talk to every day. That is what I mean when I talk about the "Star Trek Computer." #STC
I do not want another separate gadget that has “AI” just printed on the box as a sales gimmick.
One intelligence that knows me, my differences, and how I live could move with me through the day, every day, in the physical world. For a person with a disability, that could be the difference between AI being interesting and AI actually giving them new independence.

A post that Walter Koenig's daughter said her father died yesterday. I'm not seeing anything in news so...? #StarTrek #Babylon5 Wikipedia not updated, that's usually very fast.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered. https://bsky.app/profile/jessethorn.bsky.social/post/3mys2nxdi622w

Shocked and saddened by the loss of Sir Patrick Stewart - 50 years of amazing acting work - X-Men, Star Trek, Shakespeare - and humanitarian efforts second to none.

We lost a real one, today. :'(

When I first started watching TNG as a teenager I didn't know that it was going to become one of the most formative pieces of media in my life.
I love TNG to bits and I love the way Patrick Stewart portrayed Picard's character. In Picard I saw a man model what true leadership looked like. An imperfect man who made mistakes but learned from them and who stood up for the people in his care.
This fediverse instance wouldn't exist if not TNG and Picard. I don't think it is a stretch that I might not be on the fediverse if not for TNG. It's impact on me and I'm sure to other Trekkies like me cannot be overstated.
I would have liked to have seen Patrick Stewart do live performance of one of Shakespeare's plays someday but alas Lady Death's plans wait for no man.
So I'll close this out with a quote from the Shakespeare play Julius Caesar:
"Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once."
May he rest in peace whereever he is and I hope the Earl Grey is both hot and plentiful.

Well, this one fucking hurts.
Favorite memory was seeing him do a one man show of Dicken's Christmas Carol by UCLA. It was the first season of TNG, and all the rest of the cast showed up to watch it. He was just amazing.
Yes being on set with him for Picard was wonderful; he was nice and such a hard worker even at his age. But that show. Just incredible.
I know some people here are allergic to Bluesky, but JMS (the creator of Babylon 5) wrote a moving tribute upon the passing of Walter Koenig.
