My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Replying to @aendra.com

I said in this interview that life as a trans person in 2026 Britain is "terrifying", but I honestly don't really feel "terrified" so much as I feel "terrorised". And the industry I work in carries much of the blame.

there's been a worldwide campaign against trans people—nowhere has it been stronger (& less opposed) than the uk latest podcast with @aendra.com www.politicalphilosophypodcast.com/uk-media-trans

YOU - “The people who built this world intended it to be better for you, but they failed. It is easier to live in their failure with this by your side.” (Tap on the tape recorder.)

even abstracted into hypothetical maths this doesn't make any sense. picking the lesser evil still makes things more evil, just by a lesser amount

"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux@bretdevereaux.bsky.social

It is, fundamentally, an exercise of choosing the lesser evil, over and over and over again, so that the total amount of evil in the system decreases over time. And you must keep doing it, because - since evil is easy - good is easily reversed.

Aw man, I fucking love Tom Skerritt. One of those actors who was just everywhere and always memorable. Loved him as a kid in Picket Fences. His big centerpiece in Alien is just immaculate and in large part because you can watch and hear him steadily lose his chill.

RIP Tom Skerritt, a reliable and enduring actor who you probably remember from...everything, basically. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Goodbye, Captain Dallas. "So I went to see The Duellists. And it was a masterpiece. I mean, I have never seen a picture that captured so much production value as The Duellists. Magnificent-looking film, a painting from beginning to end. So I had to do Alien at that point.” Tom Skerritt was 93.

I always loved seeing him in anything, from Alien to Dead Zone to Poison Ivy (lol) to being a huge asshole judge on Law & Order SVU. Another one of the greats. RIP, king.

I know it’s sorta cheesy but someone posted this from Paris on Reddit and I felt this immediate rush of hope

I hope workers in other game studios see WoTC unionizing, and see the mass layoffs and BioWare closing and decide it's time to put their foot down. What do we have to lose by unionizing? A job that you're afraid every day you'll be laid off from anyway? UNIONIZE THE GAME INDUSTRY!

I glanced at Twitter and they're all blaming "wokeness" for killing BioWare. If gamers had even a single brain cell this kind of thing would make them anticapitalist. But alas.

Escape from New York, the glider scene. It's '81, a year before Tron revolutionised CG and Carpenter has 1/3 of Tron's budget...so how did he pull off an absurdly sophisticated wireframe simulation?! It's actually a cardboard city painted matte black, lined with reflective tape and lit with UV.

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

We used to have guys like Bob Fosse and Ken Russell who were gay for pussy and they just don’t make that specific model any more.
