Here's a "pinned tweet" thread because I want to pin more than one.
The 1964-2005 live-action productions are the #StarTrek Original Universe. That's TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, the TMP films through TUC, and the TNG films. (Jeri Taylor also canonized her two VOY backstory novels. No one of higher rank ever disputed it, but many ignore them.)

So it's just like Earth, then.

Generational ships raise serious moral issues. Later generations never chose to live their entire lives and die confined on a ship floating in space. That is a violation of free will. Roughly 16 generations would be sentenced to life in prison for no crime other than being born.

An unstoppable air leak on the ISS' Zvezda module forces permanent closure of its compartment, in turn requiring redocking of all future Russian cargo ships between two ports for cargo delivery and orbit corrections. DETAILS: russianspaceweb.com/2026.htm…

Huhh, so this is what a supersonic sea-skimming target interception looks like (Unseen IR cam Footage from US navy). USS Philippine Sea & USS Mason engaging a GQM-163A Coyote target using AEGIS combat system and SM-2 interceptors during SWATT training in the Atlantic.

Now we learn if a lifeforce sustained by hatred can outlast the man who doesn't think of the other at all.

New footage shows the moment TUI Cruises’ Mein Schiff 3 collided with the docked container ship MSC Victorine in Bremerhaven, Germany. Strong winds pushed the cruise ship sideways despite tugboats trying to assist

I get the idea that Elon is doing so much for the US and the world but he's also just wrong about a lot of things, mostly involving politics where he goes full Dunning Kruger. He also does massive damage to his companies by saying really stupid things in public and doubling down.

I'm mulling over another way the coming generation may be cooked. Outsourced thinking is bad enough, but I've long noted that heavy input of TV and films mean you can end up with large numbers of people whose behavior and responses end up influenced ...

... by, if not emulating altogether, fake behavior and responses from writers, directors, and especially actors. We become unreal. There are several corollaries to that idea. 1. Where the quality and realism of the writing and acting are good, the impact is not terrible.

AI films can impress and will improve, but for the most part are like very bad B movies. 2. The influence is a negative judged against natural behavior, but may also serve as cultural code for widely known media. Think of some well known quotes, but like a pose struck.

How do you say "NATO bastards!" In Russian?
Replying to @Tatarigami_UA
Yeah but it’s so unfair to Russia that there’s more and more countries they can’t annex without triggering article 5 Where are they supposed to invade if everyone around them is in a mutual defense agreement? 😢

9/11 conspiraloon-level engineering and construction ignorance has both deadly consequences and less-deadly ones, like self-disproof of nonsense like "only demolition causes gravity collapse into the footprint".

'Peak VLS' probably happened in 2021 for the US Navy, when around 10,200 VLS cells were available across all Ticonderoga, Burke, and Zumwalt ships (~9400), plus Ohio and Virginia (~800) subs. By 2027, it should fall to ~8650.

Noteworthy. He's right about Buc-ees, though.
One of the most misinformed groups in the world has to be people who watch John Oliver religiously, this is one of the better forum posts on the phenomenon of the "comedic-news" segments
