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.

Why isn’t Dune a musical? Why didn’t Schindlers List have a dance contest? Why wasnt 12 Years A Slave animated? Questions for our time.

I think in fact that there is a very good “originalist” argument that the founders - who were breaking away from an actual king - did not, in fact, intend to imbue the presidency with the power to order people to do endless crimes on his behalf and then pardon them for it

When it comes to solid recruits that improve the brand, it's tough to beat a Montanan smokejumper and a Tejano star from Texas.

Imagine being ROBERT SHAW who on the word “action” has to convince us (in close up) he’s on a boat with just 2 other people in the middle of the ocean chasing a shark. If you ever thought Acting easy this photo alone should disabuse you of that daft notion. JAWS (1975)

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Joe Rogan suddenly acting like he was an innocent bystander for years and had no idea what Trump was all about until now and did nothing to help get him elected is pretty weak and pathetic. Just own it.

I feel like I can’t *not* say something about Dolly, but also like I’m not good enough with words to do her the justice she deserves. What a pure soul. I’ve heard the only reason she wasn’t a billionaire is because she gave so much away.

And now Moderna may have figured out how to use mRNA vaccine to cure cancer. Dolly Parton helped cure cancer.

The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.

this ossoff guy not only for squarely landed a hit on these freaks, but he gave the absolutely, unassailably correct response to the pearl clutching: these are adult public figures on the public payroll. no one gives a shit about how they feel. that's the only response it deserves. quit if youre sad
