Honestly, they need to make a rule that no one is allowed to say "Biden" anymore when they answer these questions. I'm sick of it too. Every time they're cornered, the reply starts with "When Biden..." Enough. Own your terrible shit, you terrible people.

"...less than a third of American OB-GYN residency programs offer a menopause curriculum of any kind. That’s right: The very doctors who specialize in our bodies aren’t always equipped to support us through a biological event we will all encounter." www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/o...

Insightful, astute, and sad description of making TV today.

The Treksperts line-up this year is amazing as always. Great stuff for the 60th anniversary of Star Trek, plus a few of my other faves: The Bionic Woman, V, and Battle of the Network Stars. bit.ly/treksperts2026

This is delightful.

No notes.

Rubio: I have never seen Trump fall asleep. Lieu: I’m going to show you a video that shows you just lied to congress. Here is a video of him asleep while you are talking.

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

GREAT article, despite being a few years old. Hear, hear.

We lost Jonathan Joss exactly One Year ago today. A neighbor burned his house, killed his dogs and shot him in the street for being Gay. Never forget Jonathan Joss. #KingOfTheHill #JohnRedcorn

Do yourself a favor and listen to (and watch!) this fantastic conversation between Amy Poehler and Paula Pell. And I am now making my way through Girls5eva. open.spotify.com/episode/4v2G...

i dont understand why im supposed to go to work when rich people are just allowed to invent trillion dollar companies that dont do or sell or make anything

This my absolute favorite decorative accessory from my daughter's car.

This is just adorable. I have no cynicism about it. It's just delightful and cute.

It’s no big surprise that Trump’s DOJ is deleting all of the January 6th press releases from its website. Here’s the thing: I downloaded all of them in Feb. 2025 (that’s right, more than a year ago) suspecting that they’d do just that. And we’re working to post them all online, as are others.

Some fun ones today, all free! • queen-size box spring • ramen and seaweed snacks • a gold goat figurine trophy • an "alcohol and mixers" package • fire pit with a broken knob • bbq grill (charcoal) in great condition • ski goggles • a hair clipper (new in box) • an entire dining room set

For all my fellow Gilmore Girls fans, writer John Stephens is posting great videos where he talks about specific scripts and episodes. I’m gobbling it all up. www.instagram.com/johnstephens...

I am playing with Duck Duck Go as my new search engine, but I also learned this good tip: Type "-ai" after any Google search query to avoid the "AI Overview."

This year, the prestigious John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award will go collectively to the people of the Twin Cities “for risking their lives to protect their neighbors and immigrant community members” as federal immigration agents flooded the region earlier this year.

Picking up on Jeopardy after not watching for a while. How did I never notice before that they have incorrect punctuation around quotes? They always put the comma/period/whatever-it-is outside the quotation marks when it should go inside. What the hell? @bcdreyer.social please weigh in.

I will never stop laughing at the fact that Trump calls Springsteen washed-up but his administration just tried to book Milli Vanilli and could not pull it off.

In two weeks, I'll be at SpaceCon San Antonio! 🚀 Our intrepid Starfleet officers have generously agreed to donate a table selfie or signed photo/book to our raffle, which will include two baskets chock full of space and Star Trek goodies. We've got vintage ASP pins, our Cosmic Decoders card game...

Okay, friends and experts: What are your favorite alternatives to using Google as a search engine?

Me too. I really am. I wrote about why... www.momtastic.com/health-welln...

Sorry there's no new episode of the podcast this week! We'll be back next Friday. In the meantime... check out our back catalogue: trekmovie.com/category/pod...

😂

WTF. Again.

Monday...

Okay

Me waiting for congress to stop one thing.

I really liked it too! I hope it’s not a long wait for season 2.

If you can't be in Los Angeles on June 6, you can watch a live stream of my interview with Bryan Fuller, who wrote for #DeepSpaceNine and #Voyager before creating #StarTrekDiscovery. Ticket sales will close before June 6, so don't wait! www.eventbrite.com/e/fred-talks...

I worked on my vacation (and it was the best!). <3

There some interesting ones today: • “Do Not Put Poop In My Trash Bin” Stickers (several available) • brand-new Waterpik flosser • 3 2-foot-high hook stands (I don't know what these are for) • an iron & slate outdoor table (gorgeous!) • hot tub supplies • a Nespresso • a "shimmery" mermaid skirt

Doing research for a panel I'll be moderating and found a great interview with Stephanie Czajkowski by my friend @djkeng.bsky.social. Thanks, Diana! www.tvfanatic.com/star-trek-pi...

It's almost time for @treklongisland.bsky.social! I'll be there all day on Saturday, June 13, and I'm moderating a panel on the main stage at 3 PM featuring five VERY memorable Star Trek guest stars.

And today's free items include: • half a chocolate babka (homemade) • 7 stalks of celery • extendable table with chairs • McDonald's delivered to the wrong address • a lefty baseball glove • some tiny Buddha statues • a stroller • 3 air conditioners

Everything’s fine…

Lifted off food stamps? Trump and Republicans RIPPED food assistance away from millions of Americans to pay for giant tax giveaways for billionaires.

Drop someone BALD.

Those Spelling Bee people...

I'm SO glad we finally got to interview "Beam Me Up, Sulu" directors Timour Gregory and Sasha Schneider; their documentary is great whether or not you're a Star Trek fan. We also round up the latest news on auctions, books, games, the Doug Jones doc, and SDCC. bit.ly/aapod260

i often think about this review

Yessssssssssssssss. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/t...

Hey, anyone who needs a graduation speaker when some smooth brained AI evangelist cancels because they don’t wanna get booed, hire me to come talk to the Youth and I will just yell some version of this, then we can all go out for pizza #fuckai www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

Someone in my local Facebook parents group posted that she's looking for someone who can do a balloon bouquet because "my regular balloon lady is out of town" and now I want a regular balloon lady too.

Quote with a fictional band that's not Spinal Tap... I have one more I can't resist.
