When I started work in 2000, that was my only email, when they changed systems in 2017 we got the chance to go through and save some and I had a similar experience. So I sort of get it.

Wil Wheaton says he's only ever felt parental love from 'Star Trek' costars LeVar Burton and Jonathan Frakes Wil Wheaton said that he's only felt 'what I imagine it is like when your parents love you and approve of you' from his 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' costars LeVar Burton and Jonathan Frakes.

This is a beautiful story from last year, that came across my event horizon today. I genuinely love my Star Trek family, and I am so grateful for their truly unconditional love and support.

Y’know when the characters in a movie go to see a movie and it feels really meta? Well, with an β€œUltimate Double Feature,” we play the first movie up until the point when they enter a cinema to watch a different film… then we play that film… then we go back to the first film to finish that story.

It's been five years since I had a blast (and hurt my back) in the comedy fest critic competition. Do you reckon they'll let me have a second go? Apply now so they don't have to! www.comedyfestival.com.au/news/funny-t...

Stumbled into High Anxiety while knitting tonight and Madeline Kahn is an absolute Goddess. So of course thinking of my beloved @shraaamp.bsky.social because she gets it.

Oh but 2021 was lovely for the local performers, we got to see all their shows and so many of them sold out and did really well. It was a bright spot during dark times for performers and punters alike. I hope they DO give you another go though!

Thinking of Jon Kudelka and those who are in Tasmania today (awful place, never go there) attending his farewell. So very sad that we will never see another new, brilliant toon from him. Love to his family and friends. 🀍
