Years ago, I had a job that involved being the door guy at a theater owned by George Lucas. One day before a screening I realized George Lucas himself was walking towards me & I had a momentarily panic that I was in trouble. And when he got to me he asked, “…can I go inside?”

Incredible. I got an Oura ring to help track some sleep problems, and a few months ago they added an AI nag feature that's been giving me weird, incorrect information. When I told it to stop bothering me with "insights" that were completely wrong, this is what it added to its file on me:

My most obscure lost-media hunt yet: At some point in the late 90s, Star Trek showrunner Ira Steven Behr (pictured here) did an on-camera interview (maybe about Voyager) while wearing a t-shirt that said "NOBODY KNOWS I'M A LESBIAN." Do you have ANY memory of what that was & where I could find it?

I was going to ask if the script for this still exists, but then I realized that's just the Bible

Star Trek: The Animated Series looks like it should be a terrible cheap schlocky mess ... but it actually has some pretty amazing writing and acting. So, why is it so much better than it needed to be? We get into it in this week's bonus video: www.patreon.com/posts/130911...

I always loved Lwaxana. Thanks for this video @mattbaume.bsky.social. It's great to see myself credited as a Patron. All of you followers need to support Matt. Characters like Lwaxana are mother figures to many of us giving needed guidance. As my mother left us in 2023 this is important.

My neighborhood bookstore! Go there! Right now (well, in an hour)! It’s conveniently located right next to a train station and the cafe is grand.

I don't know anyone other than @televisionaryzw.bsky.social who's looking for Barney Miller hot takes in 2025 but I think the show missed an opportunity by not having Wojo be bisexual

One of my favorite Will & Grace episodes -- here's the show making a not-at-all-subtle jab at their own network's reluctance to show any sort of same-sex physical affection:

Hey Seattle, if you enjoy Bea Arthur making snide remarks about homosexuality, come join me this Sunday at the Northgate Barnes & Noble! I'll be hanging out, signing books, and showing some of my very favorite gay sitcom moments, of which about 73% involve at least one Golden Girl

My favorite thing about this image is that it's such powerful gay nerd representation. Look at those socks! And is that a pocket protector???
