At Universal Fan Fest last night, the two Star Trek uniforms I saw most people cosplaying were TNG uniforms, followed by Lower Decks. We even started several "LOWER DECKS" chants while walking around. It goes to show how popular Lower Decks is with Trekkies & how foolish it was to cancel it.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

“I want this in as many theaters for as long as possible,” Johnson said about the third “Knives Out” movie. “We’re going to push for everything we can get in terms of theatrical, because I want as many people as possible to see it in that form.” We need more Netflix filmmakers saying this, please.

From me: The ruling that ended Apple's monopoly tax on the App Store was amazing. But more amazing was how quickly it changed the market, as new tools for app developers rushed in. "Cutting red tape" isn't the only thing that can supercharge markets; preventing monopoly domination works too.

It's really important to let everyone in your life know that Sinners is well worth seeing on the big screen even if you can't see it in IMAX. I saw it on a regular theatrical screen at the Alamo Drafthouse, and it was magnificent. Yes, it's lost IMAX screens. Yes, you should still see it now.

The problem with young men is that, while every generation thinks things are harder for it than the one before it, there is now a fully incentivized and monetized media ecosystem that exists to tell them that they’re right instead of that they’re just growing up. Easy answers are now big money.

Listen to Black women… “The attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity” “The threats & harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government. And they ultimately risk undermining our Constitution & the rule of law” - KBJ

A sure sign of dementia is seeing things that do not exist or are not there. Nowhere in this entire country is any of this happening. The only money pouring in is what will be pouring out of your pockets to pay for anything.

I think the suggestion that any kind of human-to-human interaction should be replaced with human-to-chatbot interaction should be scrutinized as a kind of moral rot. It’s antisocial ideology and should be treated as such

The irony of Marco Rubio backing deportations under the Alien Enemies Act is stunning. His own parents could’ve been targeted under the same law. No empathy. No principle. No leadership. Just blind loyalty and ambition. He should resign in disgrace.
