Said it before, said it again: if you want a definition of 'British' it's 'you or a very close friend have a "that time I met Brian Blessed" anecdote'.

Starting a campaign for a Star Trek Scouts crossover.

First look at a new ‘Doctor Who’ animated series for preschoolers. The series follows the Doctor and his friends Hannah, Beastie and Toast-IE on adventures through time and space.

Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

Dr Oz says the Trump administration will kick more than a million people off health insurance because some of them have "never filed a claim"

I'd never seen this Roy Lichtenstein painting before, but it's incredible how he manages unfailingly to make his copies worse than the original comics he's ripping off.

Happy 60 Years of Star Trek. The one time I got to write and draw a Trek story was a great experience. It was set in the alternative "Phase II" timeline which was fun to play with. I'd still love to make more Trek comics. I'd particularly love to do an entire Phase II series.

Make your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title: Former college professors start small business.

I love Kathryn's writing and am excited for this even though I have avoided watching Bluey (saving it in case I ever end up in a Big Daddy situation where I have to care for a child all of a sudden).

I am really, really, really, REALLY excited to be able to share the cover of my book, as well a link so you can preorder it for when it comes out in April. Look at the ears!!!! wwnorton.com/books/978132...

I am not a U.S. citizen. I got jury duty notice from Philly a couple times. The postcard instructs you to take an online questionnaire, which asks if you are a U.S. citizen. After you say “no” you are told you are ineligible for jury duty. That’s why it’s in the “non-juror” records.

Lots of non-citizens are on the jury pool in Philly because they use DMV records and local tax payments to build their master list. (They get out of jury duty by simply notifying the court they aren't citizens.) This man isn't dumb. He's a con artist.

At this moment in The Pitt, Mel returns from the most unprofessional deposition ever witnessed, where the anti-vax mom from last season is suing Mel over the spinal tap for her son. Her lawyers either a nutjob too or a con artist.

Couldn't be prouder of the five we made, but I had at least two seasons more in me. Wanted to hit up the Delta and Gamma quadrants. One more Vindicta holodeck movie. Meet a weirdly nice leftover Weyoun, more stories with the whales and Kayshon, T'Lyn and Ensign Olly. Lots of stuff.

Alex Ries@alexries.com

I know many Trekkies lament Lower Decks ending. But 5 seasons is actually a pretty good run isn't it? That's more than the original series!

PS The netflix series that I worked on had its characters sing "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" as an easter egg in the interactive special and it took all of my self-control not to break my NDA when people complained that the show had no rockapella www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z44o...

Jim Nantz just referred to the "Schuylkill Freeway" during the PGA broadcast and he may never be able to set foot in this region again.

Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium is set to trade gorillas with Boston’s Franklin Park Zoo. Frankie, Pittsburgh’s 7-year-old male western lowland gorilla, will head to Boston, and in exchange, Boston will send 33-year-old Little Joe the silverback @triblive.bsky.social 🦍

More surprise off model episode drops please. I suggest Santos and Whitaker cleaning their apartment.

Alan Sepinwall@sepinwall.bsky.social

Wait... Hulu just surprise-dropped an hour-long Very Special Episode of The Bear (technically called "Gary"), written by and starring Ebon Moss-Bacharach and Jon Bernthal? What?!?!

Star Trek IV. Chris Pine Kirk and Zachary Quinto Spock go back in time to get humpbacks to save Earth from the alien probe but end up in 1986 before the timeline diverged so they have to avoid their other selves in the original movie Back to the Future 2/Trials and Tribble-ations style.

Because Starfleet does universal healthcare, Riker's doctor can go to the absurd extreme of stimulating his dreams to save his life from a virus no one has encountered before and no one worries about the bill.

Sam Kieth did not bend for comics. Comics bent to him. I won't call his manner of drawing merely a style because that implies some level of artifice. Maybe not since Kirby had mainstream comics seen an artist with less filter between his imagination and the printed page.

Sam Kieth has passed. There are so many great comics creators I love, but Sam is on my Mount Rushmore. The Maxx was a revelation when I first read it. What a sad loss. What a great creator. I will miss your light in this world intensely.
