Bill de Blasio pretending to be a Trekkie.
Hello cringe.

Make it STOP.
Mayor Bill de Blasio *says* he’s dressed as Captain Kirk, but nerds familiar with the matter tell me that shirt is in fact not what the character wore. This is why attribution is important. pic.twitter.com/bAEWdAg6Ec

Listen to the nerds when it comes to Trek.
Always.
De Blasio, when asked by @C_Sommerfeldt about this:
"I always say I'm going to give credit where credit is due to the media. That's a good catch. I like the blue a lot, but you're right, it's historically inaccurate, but I'm still gonna wear it, because now we bought it."— Sam Raskin (@samraskinz) October 28, 2021
And the only character he likely knows is Kirk.
Painful.

Spock or McCoy, maybe. 🤔
Anyway, it's cringe.

This knit-wit can’t even get Star Trek right. Kirk always wore a gold command shirt. That color is something Spock and Dr. McCoy wore.@awstar11 @KenGardner11
