In the PlanEx break room, Bender uses X-ray specs to cheat at poker and win Zoidberg’s coat and stethoscope, Terry’s baby’s milk money, and to win some money off some other chumps. From Futurama, “How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back.”

It’s canon!

Futurama opening title card gag: “IN COLOR.” From season 1 episode 1, “Space Pilot 3000.” Incredibly NOT the show’s first Star Trek gag, as the cold open begins with Philip J Fry (Billy West) in voiceover saying, “Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.” The last part is the first Donkey Kong reference.

Just finished Blood Colony, the third novel in Tananarive Due’s African Immortals series, which I am enjoying a LOT. Has anyone else read them? What did you think? No spoilers for book 4, please!

Very cool that Starfleet has a ship named after @chanda.blacksky.app! From the Star Trek: Zero Point ashcan I picked up from @idwpublishing.com at SDCC ‘26 last weekend, written by @charliejane.bsky.social, art by Isaac Sánchez González & lettering by @longtalljodie.com.

Raffi: “I’ve heard nothing but good things about you.”

Who else is excited for new Futurama?

Adventure Time, “Bad Timing.” So ya got Princess Bubblegum and Lumpy Space Princess, who are in a circle surrounded by blurry undefined abstract imagery in which there are a couple little guys. Listen if you haven’t seen this episode I’m not gonna try to explain it here but it is honestly pretty messed up!

This month’s image is “Broken Mirror” by Alexander Klemm! My interpretation is that it’s the Kelvin Enterprise-A using tractor beams to pull the Mirror Kelvin Enterprise-A’s damaged saucer section out of an interdimensional portal

I like to tape my favorite pages from my Daily Star Trek Calendars to the wall but I think I’m approaching a reset point

A wall with the 2026 Star Trek: Ships of the Line wall calendar hanging amidst a few dozen Star Trek Daily Calendar pages. Also a plush Badgey is there, along with some Chanukah stickers and an eyeshadow palette.
