Wanted to share some unfortunate news with the #FriendsOfDeSoto . Annie Wersching, Nana Borgs from #StarTrek #Picard to #GreatestTrek viewers, has passed away from cancer at the untimely age of 45. She leaves behind her husband and three young sons. #RIPAnnieWersching
Very sad to hear about the passing of Annie Wersching. Her portrayal of the Borg Queen in PIC Season 2 was one of the highlights of that season.

I've been whistling the opening notes to Jeepers Creepers to Scooter all morning, and she's starting to pick it up. She's got the opening stanza, anyway.

โPolice officers are not Navy Seals, Army Rangers or Marines. They do not have the training, leadership, traditions, ethics and discipline of the US Armed Forces, let alone the most elite combat units. The militarization of American policing has been a disaster.โ

Yesterday I continued rewatching Season 3 of Star Trek The Next Generation by watching 'The Offspring'. This episode was aired in 1990 and was ahead of its time in some of the current issues it explores. I found the episode covered issues relevant to today including gender identity, autism, parenting and artificial intelligence. This is a 12 part thread and please Boost. [1/12]
Whatโs your #FavoriteSong and why? I know itโs a trick question, I would be surprised if you only had just one! Perhaps the one that makes you #happiest and feel you have to #dance, even if you are an old #Panda like me? Randomly picking mine, this is the happiest #song of all time: #DontStopMeNow Happy #Sunday! https://youtu.be/HgzGwKwLmgM
#TraitorTrump keeps saying insane shit.
If that monster manages to get to win in 2024, World needs to start considering the possibility of naming #USA as a terrorist state.
Good morning Trekverse happy weekend to you all! Hope it's a good one for you whatever you are up to ๐

Today marks 3 months on #Mastodon. The most delightful aspect for me is our high community engagement.
On #Twitter I suspect my posts got buried. A journalist reached out last Fall to ask why I was shadow banned & I had to search what that meant.
This place isnโt set up as a race for RTs & likes & posts arenโt typically composed to spark outrage. It feels like an ongoing conversation & Iโm even getting to know some interesting new folks.
At least, thatโs been my experience. I like it here.
Nightly address by Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of #Ukraine 28/01/23
Extract
Ukraine needs long-range missiles โ in particular, to remove this possibility of the occupiers to place their missile launchers somewhere far from the front line and destroy Ukrainian cities with them.
Thank you to everyone in the world โ politicians, public figures, journalists, and ordinary people who insist with us that there cannot be any taboo in the supply of weapons

My heart breaks for Black Mothers, Black Fathers, Black siblings, Black grandparents & the Black community as a whole for having to bear witness to police brutality, enduring yet another heartless assassination of a Black young man in the name of the "law" by people just doing their "job" in a systemic racist jerking circle designed to target minorities, ensuring they're at a disadvantage before a fair verdict.
What kind of justice is it when a routine traffic stop becomes a death sentence?

Can't watch the entire video of #TyreNichols brutal murder at the hands of police.
It's too painful.
His family doesn't want you to remember how he died.
His family released a video of Tyre Nichols doing one of his favorite things he truly enjoyed: skateboarding.
Let's remember him as he lived. โค๏ธ

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
