I'm the biggest fan of @TheMidnightLA, but I never thought they'd top "Los Angeles" or "Memories." I was wrong. "Summer's Ending Soon" is the most bittersweet, heart-wrenching tale of times long gone (but always remembered) that any GenXer could possibly imagine. Incredible. 😭

Prepare to throw stuff at your screen! @roddenberry Podcasts presents "CANON SMOOTHING part 1" (recorded at #STLV 2023) — in which @larrynemecek and I geek out about incredibly insignificant Trek minutiae! Cover your ears and listen… if you dare. youtube.com/watch?v=T8aytTBc…

Since "iPods" no longer exist, should we keep using the term "podcast"? Maybe we should call them "iCasts." Or "Please-stop-we-have-way-too-many-of-these-things-now." Anyway, you should listen to mine. 🤣 youtube.com/inisolationwithn…

DS9's Klingon concertina also features quite prominently in @trekonlinegame
Two of the Klingon music instruments in #StarTrekLowerDecks' "A Farewell to Farms"⬆️ were seen before in season 2 of #StarTrekDS9, played by the station's Klingon chef. The string instrument is seen in "Melora"↙️ and the concertina in "Playing God"↘️. Ak'la bella doo-oo-oo-oo! 😊

To the middle-aged dude rolling down the street with his windows down blaring Cutting Crew's "I Just Died In Your Arms"… Mad props, my man.

It’s been said many times… and while Goldsmith will always get his due, McCarthy’s brilliant score herein is certainly the most ethereal of any Trek movie (and my personal favorite). Absolutely 😭-inducing. What a shame he was never asked to do another.
STAR TREK GENERATIONS turns 30 this month. It's hard to believe the film came out that long ago, but I'll always have a fondness for the film. William Shatner's final performance as Captain Kirk, and it was a dream come true seeing Kirk and Captain Picard share the screen.

Are we sure this is a good idea
We’re going on a 1.8-billion-mile journey to an ocean world – Jupiter moon, Europa! @EuropaClipper is set to launch on Monday, Oct. 14, on a @SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket at 12:06pm ET (1606 UTC) from @NASAKennedy. Use #AskNASA to send us your questions. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1DXxydorL…

Once again, proof that the @SawbonesHex / @thenicolabryant title sequence was scientifically accurate. youtube.com/watch?v=oGIu74Vw…
A new glittery JWST image of Westerlund 1, located 12,000 light-years away! It's an open cluster, which are loosely packed groups of stars bound by gravity that formed from the same gas cloud. But this one holds many Wolf-Rayet stars, the most massive stars known, and we haven't found another cluster like it in the Milky Way! WR stars are so huge they burn through their material REALLY fast, with a lifespan of 100,000 years (compared to the Sun's lifespan of about 10 billion years). So this star cluster serves as a cosmic laboratory we use to study the evolution of the most massive stars known in the Universe.

When the water coming out of your “cold” tap is hot. 🥵

When you're stuck at home alone, so you try to make the best of it by finishing a new draft for an upcoming project… but COVID throat-congestion and achey-ness make it hard to get any work done. (Plus, the Paxlovid makes it taste like my mouth is full of quarters!) 🥴 Blech.

Also remember that we all switch to “Celsius” tomorrow! (While reverting to the old Apple Chicago font 😉)
Everyone remember to leave out milk and ration cards for Gabriel Bell tonight.
