This is the first time I've ever been fully nope-nope-nope about a new Star Trek show.

I’m delighted that they have persisted lol

I see a dental chair and I think upside-down margaritas. Then again, I learned that in college in the late 80s, so what the fuck do I know about these days?

The idea of getting advice on how to talk to real people from Mike Allen is hilarious.

I didn’t truly understand what believing in ghosts meant until I married into a SE Asian family

/7 But this is America. There are people who think Lt. William Calley was a war criminal for the My Lai massacre, but also people who think it was treasonous to report and prosecute him.

Those people are barbarians.

Also, Grindr is *insane* there

I liked doing the zip line down the length of the strip but that was pretty much the highlight of my last trip there. I’m not into gambling, aside from the Wonder Woman slot machines in small doses.

I do enjoy spicy Chris lol

Yeah but then they get old and move out and creeping existential dread sets in and, well, that's what social media is for.

Anyway, this is a goddamn embarrassment and item 1,455,6788 on the list of why people hate journalists. Have some fucking self respect for your industry, people. /end

But I sure as hell would not give a full on, glamor shot, reputation-bleaching feature on another reporter who'd done all that. Even if they worked for the fucking Blade or something. At some point standards have to win out over competition or scoring points. /6

Granted, I went to a prestigious journalism school so I paid and borrowed a lot of money to learn that you don't fuck someone you're covering and if you do fuck them you don't keep it a secret and keep on fuckin' them. Perhaps I'd have been more successful if I'd ignored that part. /5

Would anyone have cared that a journalist/editor for a small regional LGBTQ magazine was writing about someone he fucked? Not too many, probably, but I FUCKING WOULD HAVE. /4

Only twice did it come up that I ended up fucking someone after I'd written about them -- DC's a small fucking town, y'all -- and guess what? I never wrote about them again. I didn't even like editing stories that included them, so I kept as distant as I could. /3
