HEADS UP—following an 8.7 earthquake off the coast of Russia, the following advisories have been issued: 🚨 TSUNAMI WARNING for the Hawaiian islands and ⚠️ TSUNAMI WATCH for coastal areas in Alaska and in states along the US West Coast More information: tsunami.gov
I am cleaning out my parents' basement and I found this in a box. This is my teenage VHS copy of Tomorrow is Yesterday, The Return of the Archons, The Menagerie parts one and two, A Taste of Armageddon, and Space Seed. That's a darn good tape.
I have a friend who is an artist and she asked me for some inspiration for something to draw. Of course I thought of something Star Trek related, and look at what a good job she did!!
THE LAST OF ITS KIND. There is something special about the connections we make in early adolescence. I fell in love with TOS around age 11, which was 1986. I was among the last generation for whom Star Trek was solely TOS. Had I been born a just bit later I’d likely have been a TNG fan…
This is the sort of thing you cannot admire enough 🤩
Over two decades separate these shots of the Klingon D7 Battlecruiser and it’s amazing how few changes were made to it. The aesthetic of Star Trek changed a lot from the tv series to the movies, but some designs are just too darn good to mess with—I adore this ship!
This was basically The Force Awakens.
Russian drone attack on #Odesa last night damaged a nine-story residential building. Fifty people were evacuated, five were injured, including two children. Several apartments were completely destroyed.

Sometime between the fall of 1963 and the late summer of 1964, the actor and photographer Dennis Hopper stopped at an intersection in L.A., took out his Nikon, and made history.
If there are any gaps in the US support, Europe should be willing to fill in, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said. "All of us hope that the US will continue its support for Ukraine and, because of Ukraine, for Europe.

⚡️“Peace Deal” in name only. While Trump strolls untouched by his own erratic refusal to arm Ukraine 🇺🇦, Ukrainian children are murdered in their sleep by Russian bombs. 👉 Appeasement isn’t peace. Its surrender disguised as diplomacy.

Pursued relentlessly by the government of Vladimir Putin, the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died in prison. He left behind an account of his final years—and an admonition to his country and the world.
This is the best and of course. “What changed:”. Nope not the bill… not anything. The so called “moderates” who always were going to collapse and everyone else got…. A call from Trump. Of course

Y'all might know that I've been leading a mission concept since 2022 to—one day—fly a balloon at Venus. It's not clear when we'll be able to propose, but the clever folks at JPL have continued to work on the concept in the background. And a few months ago, they built this new test balloon.
Well... aren't we humans, just like them in some jobs? At least it's sometimes what we feel. 😕

Europeans need to grow some balls. In 2015 Turkish F-16 shot down a Russian Su-24 aircraft after it breached Turkish airspace for just 17 seconds. Today, Russian Su-35 breached Estonian airspace and interfered with an Estonian military operation to arrest a Russian oil tanker.

❗️It is reported that the Estonian military made an attempt to arrest a JAGUAR tanker of Russia's shadow fleet that was on its way to a Russian port under the flag of Gabon. A Russian Su-35 flew into the Estonian airspace to help the tanker out.

Good. The LGBT/ Feminists/ The Global Left whether went hardcore supporting Russia, embracing the "Ukraine is Nazi" lie, or keeping their mouth shut, while getting loudly screaming lies and deceives about Israel feed to them by Palestine/ Iran/ ..Russia? So I call it sweet justice!
In case you were wondering what's on Russian Duma's (parliament) agenda, it's not the war, inflation or issues with the Russian economics. They are trying to deal with Satanism. On April 8, the Russian State Duma held a roundtable discussion on fighting Satanism that lasted more than two hours.
The representative of the Russian Orthodox Church, Fyodor Lukyanov, connected Satanism with the international LGBT movement, while TV host Anna Shafran said that Satanism is a "funnel of involvement in LGBT and pedophilia." Witch hunts will start any day now in Russia?

Kaja Kallas: ◾️"It takes two to want peace, but it only takes one to want war." It is clear that "Russia wants war." ◾️What is clear is that China is the key enabler or Russia's war. Without Chinese support, Russia wouldn't be able to wage the war in the amount that they are waging"
