Meanwhile, I wonder if the Star Trek writers who came up with the Borg got the idea for the name one morning while checking their weight on…a Borg digital scale?

Heads up: Paramount says it will be hiking subscription fees for P+ in the US early next year. Last price hike was summer 2024. If you're someone who watches a lot of P+ keep your eyes out for holiday sales on annual plans if you wanna lock in current rates a bit longer.

Meant to post this earlier, but: As @vulture.com first reported in April, THE PITT is getting a linear run on TNT. Today, we got details on when and how it will run on the network + the news that the eps will not be edited at all for language or graphic content. www.vulture.com/article/the-...

Also: This is the town where MTG grew up. She would’ve have been a kid then. Watch this special and you’ll know why I don’t buy her current shtick for a second.
This 1987 CNN special about some horribly racist citizens of Forsyth, GA is very tough to watch, but also very timely because a lot of what these Klan members were arguing then is now, well…you know. (Content Warning: Repeated use of the N-word.) youtu.be/ZkLxEl2G6hE?...

Apparently Mike here couldn’t thank Laurie enough for all her help in getting him a new car and $10,000. And he got more and more thankful as the show went on. I don’t wanna imagine what his gratitude would look like if he won the $100k.

And this whole thing is about a documentary which aired a year ago, with zero outage. But when someone leaked a memo from a cozy-to-the-right-wing internal watchdog, Mitch Prescott, it becomes a massive scandal.

Bert Find No. 2: This song-- "Hoo Bop De Bow"-- was played on a 1986 episode of Super Password. Apparently, Bert sang in a doo-wop group in the 50s-- The Thunderbirds. As far as I know, they didn't chart. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-N-...

Two fun Bert Convy finds. First, in 1979, he starred with Debbie Allen and Martha Smith ("Scarecrow & Mrs. King") in a "Charlie's Angels"-esque TV movie called EBONY, IVORY & JADE. It is so perfectly 1979. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH1x...

The clue from Michael McKean: “He was the Black leader who was assassinated in 1968.”
Bonnie from NY’s guess: “Efram Zimbalist, Jr.”
The audience couldn’t stop laughing even with 12 seconds left in the round.
Poor Bonnie.

That Salt-N-Pepa are only being inducted in the "Influencers" wing, despite their long string of hits and huge legacy, while one-hit wonder Chubby Checker is receiving a full induction (jn absentia; he's got a private gig in Santa Barbara tonight) is just plain stupid and wrong. #rockhall

…and 15 minutes in, Apple TV appears to be down…again. Another AWS outage?
Haven’t watched PLURIBUS screeners, but have been hearing from critic friends for weeks about how good it is. And with 20+ reviews now tallied, the show is currently at 100% on (the sketchy but semi-useful) Rotten Tomatoes.
First two eps are now on Apple TV…going in now.
