I just checked, and this is Star Trek's second-ever acting nomination and first writing nomination for the Emmys.
Anyway, Star Trek: Prodigy may have been cancelled, but it managed two close-to-perfect seasons.

Okay, Gorman fixed the problem in less than an hour, I may use my work email for customer service issues forever.
I ordered shoes from Gorman, but they didn't fit. They were on sale, so I had to accept a credit note instead of a refund. The credit note does not work online. The "contact" link goes to a 404. Say hypothetically my boss is one of the ACCC's lawyers. AITA if I email Gorman from my work account?

So now Australia will be making F35 fighter jet parts for Saudi Arabia. A country that Amnesty says ignores people’s basic human rights, restricts their freedoms and inflicts severe punishment. The regime also kills dissenters. No one even asked us.

The Americans seem fascinated by Olivia Nuzzi as a celebrity figure whose sole talent is a shameless willingness to debase herself in the presence of power, and the coarsening effects such a person’s success has on media culture.

It would be crass to include a sponsorship arrangement or paid product endorsement in the eulogy at a State funeral. But in the case of John Laws you can rely on it being there

Just went to cancel my Vanity Fair subscription, because of *waves hands* you know, but that now requires an account number I don't have (because the sub is digital) or an international phone call. Of course, the card I used for it has also expired, and there's no way to update the info, so...

The Olivia Nuzzi thing was funnier before @kattenbarge.bsky.social worked out that her first affair with a much-older man in the media started when she was in her late teens.

Obviously I will be sad for my superannuation and my dreams of eventually retiring, but I cannot WAIT for the AI bubble to burst.

The Twitter YA hivemind are still out there, they're just going after romantasy authors instead.
We can debate all day about who got cancelled and whether or not they deserved it, but one thing I have noticed is that a lot of queer YA written from ~2019-2022 has a kind of sterile after-school-special vibe where you can just tell they sanitized the fuck out of it to appease the Twitter hivemind

We need to agree NOW that we're not letting Ryan Murphy write the HBO limited series about the Nuzzi affair. It should star Sarah Snook and one of the blonde wigs from House of the Dragon, but we have to keep Murphy away from this.

I have decided to become an American political journalist for one of the magazines that no one actually reads except for the monthly free article, if it looks good. I have no qualifications save that I can write a coherent sentence, sometimes, and I do not sleep with people.

I will give so much money to a platform which allows you to pay a couple of bucks just to access specific articles.
I do fully understand that news sites need money and deserve to be paid but man there has to be a better method than paywalling everything. It's literally borderline impossible to stay updated on some topics and when more left leaning ones all have paywalls while fox and right leaning ones don't...

I saw someone describe romantasy as "colonising" "real" SFF, and frankly that construction is abhorrent.
I think the reason romantasy is dwarfing sales of fantasy & sci-fi is that it's a subset of romance.
And romance is the biggest, most profitable category in literature.
Romantasy allowed romance readers, who read very widely, to take cross-genre romance mainstream & it's reaping the rewards.

I was woken up TWICE during the night by Dale standing on me and purring, so even though he doesn't yet accept pats or physical contact, I can be sure he'll eat my body if I die alone and remain undiscovered for a few days.
