Unlike my last two posts on the Mayoral Race here and here, this one is just a note to Star Trek fans everywhere! NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced that he’s donning a Star Trek uniform for Halloween as an homage to Captain James T. Kirk (played by
William Shatner in the original TV series). Aged 90 years, 6 months and 22 days, Shatner recently became the oldest person to fly into space (aboard the Blue Origin NS-18).

The Twitterverse was all a twizzy over de Blasio’s “homage” because he got the colors all wrong.
