Today we remember the events of the day of September 11, 2001. Terror was brought to New York City, Washington DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. It was a day that will live in the memory of people around the world forever. It was a day when people were lost, but a day when people were heroes too. Let’s be mindful of what happened and hope it will never happen again.
Star Trek Day is about celebrating a visionary science fiction TV show on September 8, which had the broadcast premiere of the series on that day in 1966. The day is celebrated by fans across the world to acknowledge the cultural impact of the Star Trek franchise.
Since the original series there have been spinoff series such as The Next Generation, Discovery and Strange New Worlds that continue the story that creator Gene Roddenberry brought to life fifty-nine years ago.
As a fan of the series, I have been impacted by its morality, social justice, and dedication to inclusion. Without Star Trek, the world would be different. It’s ultimate statement of creating a world in which all can take part is the Vulcan concept of infinite diversity in infinite combinations. We need that now more than ever these days. Thank you, Star Trek, for showing us a better way forward. May we Boldly Go as we Live Long And Prosper as we head into Star Trek’s 60th anniversary in 2026.
Star Trek is the story of the future we must find our way towards. I think God would want that too.
Hello fellow Minions, it’s Monday again. Let’s have the best day possible. Love and peace to you all today.
I answered this daily prompt in August of last year. I am revisiting it to say the things that cause me not to relax are still present. I do what I can to relax, but it’s hard for me. Being able to relax is important, and it’s taking me awhile to figure out to do more of it. But when I do relax I like to blog, watch TV, listen to podcasts, and cook breakfast on a Saturday morning. I do enjoy working on computer stuff too.
Visit my post from last year to see how I answered this question.
Hello there Friday. It’s always good to see you again. Have a great day, good people. The weekend is almost here!
I used Fedora KDE for a few days, and it seemed that it was a little buggy. There was an issue with integrating Google Mail, calendar, and drive with it seamlessly. Linux Mint, my long-time distribution, does all of that without a problem. I am using the Cinnamon desktop variation, and it’s well-equipped and feature rich.
I am glad to be back with something I feel comfortable with and has an old school feel about it. Experimenting with something new is always a good thing to do to flex your mind and muscles. Linux Mint is going to release distribution upgrade soon.
