I hope everyone knows about Juneteenth and recognizes its significance. But there's still a lot of work to do. #juneteenth us.headtopics.com/news/what-is...

Captain Kirk is resurrected to deal with The Burn in the new Star Trek comic "The Last Starship," out in Sept. #StarTrek #CaptainKirk #IDW #comicbooks www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/s...

Coming soon to the blog: "Starfleet Starship Recognition Manual." Some parts were cut and pasted from Franz Joseph's Star Fleet[sic] Technical Manual, other parts are more... imaginative. #StarTrek #StarTrekTheOriginalSeries #StarTrekTheMotionPicture #fanzines

Could a Star Trek: The Original Series reboot be coming in the near future? #StarTrek #StarTrekTOS #StarTrekSNW #reboot reactormag.com/would-you-wa...

Very light on spoilers, this review of Strange New Worlds Season 3's first five episodes is fascinating. #StarTrek ##StrangeNewWorlds #SNWSeason3 www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Check out the latest Star Trek in-universe fanzine from my collection: "From the Files of Star Fleet Command". I may have more to say about why "Star Fleet" is incorrect form than the actual fanzine... #StarTrek #fanzines #ScienceFiction ansonisms.com/2025/06/14/f...

The Odesa-class, my own take on the drone ship/Antares from The Animated Series and TOS remaster. [1/3]

Why aren't the Gold Key Star Trek comic books canon when they have stellar content like this? #StarTrek #ComicBooks #GoldKey #TheOriginalSeries

Strange New Worlds ends after its 5th season, and that will only be six episodes. #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds #news gizmodo.com/star-trek-st...

Now playing on the #DVR : Warcraft (2016), directed by Duncan Jones and starring Travis Fimmel and a bunch of other actors. Fimmel should trademark that head-tilt. #movies #fantasy #warcraft en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warcraf...

Think you're too old to be an #organdonor ?? Think again and check the box on your driver's license! #transplant www.aarp.org/health/healt...

I'd like to thank the people who checked the organ donor box on their driver's licenses. I'll carry part of their eyes with me forever. I rcv'd the 2nd partial #cornea #transplant last month for a degenerative disorder. Now my vision is 20/25 in both eyes! #OrganDonor #FuchsDystrophy #DSEK #eye

My next ansonisms.com post will be about another one of my Star Trek in-universe fanzines. I've narrowed the choice down to one of these three (more info in alt text). #StarTrel #InUniverse #fanzines

Now playing on the #DVR: #Batman: #TheDoomThatCameToGotham (2023). Directed by Christopher Berkeley and Sam Liu and based on the #DC Elseworlds comic series, an alt-universe Batman battles eldritch horrors in 1920s Gotham. #horror #movies #animated #Lovecraft en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:...

These are some special fanzines. I have volumes of the original Star Trek Concordance signed by Bjo Trimble and Matt Jefferies. #StarTrek #fanzines #StarTrekConcordance #BjoTrimble #MattJefferies ansonisms.com/2025/05/27/s...

One of my favorite Star Trek fanzines is Starship Design from 1984. Here's my blog post about it. #StarTrek #fanzines #StarFleet #starship #StarshipDesign ansonisms.com/2025/05/23/s...

James Doohan describes the acting in ST:TOS 3rd season episode "Day of the Dove" and casts shade on William Shatner at the same time. #StarTrek #DayOfTheDove #JamesDoohan

Starting this week I am going to have a lot more free time on my hands. That means I can finally get around to all the projects I’ve been putting off. That includes the Ansonisms blog. First up items from my Star Trek collection. Coming up: Starship Design from 1984. ansonisms.com/2025/05/22/t...

We're going on a road trip from VA to KS later this summer. What are some good Star Trek-related sites to visit? We already have Janeway's future birthplace memorial on the agenda. #StarTrek #RoadTrip #attractions

Currently reading These are the Voyages: TOS Season Three by Marc Cushman. The third episode-by-episode volume of the making of #StarTrekTOS. Fascinating to learn that Gene Roddenberry was much more involved in S3 than is popularly believed. Must-read for any Star Trek fan. #StarTrek #MakingOf

Did you know there was a #StarTrek #comicstrip in the German magazine Bild und Funk in 1979? I didn't either! Rich Handley has a great write-up about it on his blog, as well as a PDF of the full eighteen chapter run. richhandley.com/2025/04/30/s...

Victor Laszlo was restless. He paced back and forth in the small bedroom, finally grinding his cigarette out in the butts piling the ashtray. Ilsa sat up in the bed. "You're going back." #Casablanca #fanatic #sequel

Playing on the #DVR : The Bride Wore Black (1968), directed by #FrançoisTruffaut and music by #Hitchcock favorite #BernardHerrmann. #FrenchNoir revenge #thriller which may or may not have inspired #Tarrantino's #KillBill. #NeoNoirFilms #Noir #movies #EuroNoir en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bri...

Playing on the #DVR : The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara (2003), directed by Errol Morris and featuring extensive interviews with JFK's SECDEF. A fascinating portrait of a complex person. #documentary #SECDEF #RobertMcNamara en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fog...

Simon & Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence" in LATIN. #Latin #SimonAndGarunkel #SoundOfSilence #song #translation youtu.be/Wx3c4AjAO58?...

Now on the #DVR: Gate of Hell (1953), directed by Teinosuke Kinugasa. First Japanese color film released outside Japan. It's about a samurai during the Heiji Rebellion whose passion for a married woman leads to predictable results. #JapaneseFilm #samurai #DaieiFilm en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_of...

Now playing on the #DVR : #Eraserhead (1977), directed by #DavidLynch (who made some other stuff later) and starring Jack Nance (who continued to work with Lynch on other stuff before dying of in 1996). A fascinating early film. #movies en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eraserh...

Was there some sort of sports kerfuffle yesterday?

Now playing on the DVR: The Skin Game (1931) directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Edmund Gwenn and Helen Haye. Could this possibly be Hitch's worst movie? Why yes, yes it could. #AlfredHitchcock ##BadMovies en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ski...

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.

YEEAAAHH!
