The Confederate flag is literally the symbol of traitors who enslaved humans, renounced their American citizenship, fought against the US, and killed those who defended my country. The pathetic losers who display this symbol of hate do NOT love the United States of America.

My favorite episode of the 1980s Twilight Zone revival is "Profile in Silver," written by J. Neil Schulman, directed by John Hancock, starring DS9's Andrew Robinson as JFK. Lane Smith plays JFK's descendent, who travels back in time to that fateful day. https://t.co/H89ldHbyHc

@rjm_robin @TrekkieGirls @DaveBlass @larrynemecek Most Star Trek starship models were painted in shades of gray. However, when gray is seen against a black background, it often appears white. In the same way, the moon is dark gray, but appears bright white against the dark night sky.

I'm on the Titan-A, being interviewed for The Ready Room with Wil Wheaton for today's new episode of Star Trek: Picard. As Doug Drexler says, it's been a long time since I've looked forward to a new Star Trek episode every Thurs. Check out Picard AND The Ready Room on Paramount+. https://t.co/lXk3vCvm1u

@trianglendrusi @entitled2life "The Omega Glory" was not only written by Gene Roddenberry, but it was one of the three early stories he considered for production as Star Trek's second pilot episode.
