If you watch the Steven Spielberg, The Terminal, it has Zoey Saldana. Their character plays a Trekkie. “The Doomsday Machine” is explicitly referenced. Ironically Saldana would go on to play Uhura in the Kelvin Timeline.

“The Doomsday Machine” didn’t have Uhura in it.

Have these people heard of the Internet? What if the children someday stumble onto this article?

To anyone that still believes keeping access to TikTok in the United States, is a matter of free speech, guess again.

You were sadly never on the right side of this issue.

Having worked in a retail environment that sells food, I have been told they can’t be used for hot prepared food. This is California. Somehow I am seeing fast food restaurants display signs saying they accept EBT now.

This makes me think of that one episode of Silicon Valley where a character is gay but Richard calls them out for being Christian, by accident. The joke being that in Silicon Valley (the region of Northern California that technology companies like to congregate), being openly Christian is politically worse than your sexuality.

Finally, RockLove have gotten the Picard d’ja pagh restocked! I won’t spoil Picard season 3, but this earring was featured in an episode. Not only was it featured but the actual prop was designed by the CEO of RockLove. The one they sell is made from the same molds.

I had this before but the chain on it broke. So happy I can buy another.

EDIT: If anyone was wondering if they had a Kira Nerys d’ja pagh, yes. It is currently in stock. I wear mine a lot. All my earrings are Star Trek related. https://www.rocklove.com/products/star-trek-x-rocklove-kira-nerys-bajoran-cuff-earring

Why did Richard Daystrom get a research organization named after them? (startrek.website)

In “The Ultimate Computer”, the duotronic M-5 computer was deemed a failure which sent its creator Richard Daystrom into a nervous breakdown. Not only did Daystrom experience psychological distress (probably the most polite way to describe it), but was responsible for a machine that killed upwards of 53 people.

Why would a person responsible for the invention of a computer that unintentionally killed (unintentionally as in, not ordered to do so) get their name enshrined? Is there anything to explain why such a troubled person that ended up killing others in a quest to eliminate the risk of human death, would inspire anyone to name an organization after them?

EDIT: I need to add some complicating facts to this. “Chose Your Pain” (DIS season 1 episode 5) gives Daystrom Institute a founding date of 2256, which is before TOS. So based on comments, likely the duotronic computer is why the name was picked.
