The entire internet right now.

It sure seems like men are too emotional to run the most powerful country on earth!

The reason generative AI is so popular with wannabe creatives is best illustrated by something every pro writer has encountered: getting pitched an idea by someone saying "You write it and we'll split the profits!" because they think the idea is what has value, not the writing. The opposite is true.

AI is Getting Worse, but It's Getting Worse

The beautiful Ranger-class starship, recently remastered in #StarTrekOnline. Thanks to @thomasthecat.bsky.social and @ramonmatas.bsky.social Absolutely stunning and I suspect Matt Jefferies would be proud @mikeokuda.bsky.social @ricksternbach.bsky.social

Star Trek Online’s Heart of the Matter is out now! I had the pleasure of creating the key art for this new release. 🚀🖖 hope you enjoy it! 💓 #StarTrekOnline

The remastered Ranger Class arrives in STO! Learn more about the remaster here! bsky.app/profile/thom... #STO #StarTrekOnline

It’s only right that this seems to be releasing right around the time of @thomasthecat.bsky.social’s birthday. And yes I am claiming dibs on getting this for him

Hope y'all like it!!🙌

I picked up an old book a while ago on prototype and design study cars from the 50s, 60s and 70s because they were fantastic reference for TOS and especially movie-era starship design. Hell, take the wheels off and some of these things are ready-made warp nacelles!

Wanted to share some images of the Ranger remaster. I'm very pleased with how this turned out. The idea was to update the Ranger to be in line with the recent updates we made to the Constitution and Pioneer, but also mixing in more mid-century modern detailing. Model by @ramonmatas.bsky.social

Working on part two this week 👀

Good morning Captains! With the release of Heart of the Matter, the Ranger-Class has received a visual update and remaster to bring it in line with the Constitution and Pioneer-Classes; this update also adds customization options with the Paladin-Class! These were added by @ramonmatas.bsky.social !

Time for a bit of a rant. Got this on my Instagram. You want to use my work regardless of permission. I watermark my work because of theft so I'm ruining it all for them. Then insults. I think I'm doing fine the way I'm doing thing. Guess who is in an official Star Trek publication after all. 😆

Hey Star Trek fans, let’s show that account they’re wrong by checking out all of RJB’s art, liking it where possible, and leaving nice comments! It’s all conveniently linked here: linktr.ee/rjbmallacore 🫡🥰

Everything sucks so I treated myself to a newspapers.com subscription and I’ve already gotten my money’s worth by discovering that in the 1920s and 30s they reported on everything the locals did. Apparently my grandparents went to their friend’s house on a Saturday night in July of 1936.

The best way to support my nerdy beauty brand is to share all of our posts, including the one below! Almost 80% of our sales come straight from bluesky, which is kind of a wild thing to me but so, so awesome and important. Thank you all so much <3

Happy pride, STO players! Hope you like the new pride social banners by yours truly 🖖 And thanks to @counselor-sunna.bsky.social for enabling me :)

When I was working on the Endeavor vanity shield I started off looking at the gold/silver icons of the Endeavor perks but then soon realized it reminded me of the "yellow" Stargazer model from Picard's ready room. Then I just leaned into it, while keeping a metallic/gold feel!

Got a bit more clean-up to do, but sidequestcosmetics.com just got a HUGE design update that I feel very good about.

You really should check out @endeavourgaming.com YouTube channel! So much hard work, and time goes into these videos. But ohh boy does it pay off! 🤩 Especially for #StarTrek fans who love to play #StarTrekOnline too 😍😍

My new series of daily posts about the same topic will feature the ready room window on the USS Enterprise-D. I will highlight how this set piece was used by directors and cinematographers in creative ways throughout the seven seasons of #StarTrekTNG to evoke different atmospheres. Please join me! 🖖

Based Bill Burr giving the most based take

when the AI bubble pops and corporations stop forcing AI down our throats i'll miss stuff like this

final fantasy x really is a game about beating fish to death with a beach ball while the most beautiful music in the world plays

every year we argue about the song of the summer but they fuckin invented it in 2001

I recently scanned these Romulan Warbird plans from a 3-page spread in Starlog Spectacular, June 1993. Non-canonical but pretty good-looking to me, they were drawn by Jim Pearson using Superpaint and MacDraw.
