No one will disagree with me when I say that the great cast is one of the main reasons the original Star Trek has endured for so long, and Walter Koenig was terrific as Chekov. My heart goes out to my friend Danielle, his wonderful daughter. Rest In Peace.

A reminder during Prison Banned Books Week: Prisons & jails are the largest censors in the U.S. They say it's for "security," but the most banned book is a cookbook. 🤨 Book bans are designed to isolate and control incarcerated people — not keep them safe.

Frank Gorshin would've had the most tedious podcast of all time. He would've had that Greatest Generation manufactured gravitas. Long pauses. Cigarette exhaust into the microphone. The worst. Then a Frank Sinatra impression.

The increase in frequency of editorials like this and the "Liberal women need to settle for dating Conservative men or face a life of loneliness" is entirely because the tactics are working. Social pressure coming from the enforced loneliness is breaking MAGA and they are desperate to stop the loss.

“Stop Making Sense” premieres 42 years ago today. 🎂 “.. shooting live music is the most purely cinematic thing you can do,” said director Jonathan Demme. “Ideally, the cinema is becoming one with the music. There is little artifice involved. There's no acting. I love it.” [“Slippery People”]

Digger being a financial flop gave it this underdog quality for fans that has led to a constant stream of really strong edits.

Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now

I have a doctorate degree. And I don't recall socialism ever being discussed, much less sold, in any classroom. These people live in a paranoid world of lies they create to justify the unpopularity of their weird, reality-rejecting beliefs.

"Why would a spy agency be openly pro-queer" can only be asked by someone with nearly zero familiarity with the history of espionage

I read this article about men who feel self-conscious going alone to the To Catch A Predator movie. Personally I'd worry more about the guy sitting alone at a movie called Other Mommy.
