Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're on the bridge of the Enterprise, point of view from the captains chair looking forward. Sulu is at his station just ahead and looking back at us if to say "are you seeing this shit?" Beyond Sulu is the main view screen, where Abraham Lincoln is pictured in a large chair with space behind him. Closed caption reads, "I AM ABRAHAM LINCOLN."

This is either really good news (Paramount is out on WBD) or really bad news (previewing government intimidation into taking a bad deal to appease the president).

cannot believe the Register put that op-ed on page 1 online...what a disgrace

Happy Remaster Day to Let It Be (sounds great). When I finished my P4k internship, @markrichardson.bsky.social and Scott P. took me out to a bar and gave me a gift certificate to Laurie's (I think). I bought whichever LIB remaster that had just come out. An actual "that one changed my life" record

I think MG could have run that one but two great throws and catches on that drive with Gill and Howard 🙌🏻

You know it’s bad when even Frontier Airlines is telling you to have a backup plan

Ask A Music Critic: What Was The First Great Indie Album? Also: What’s another album that needs a ’making of’ biopic?

Hey, it's a new Ask A Music Critic column! A reader inquires, "What is the first great indie album?" A simple question that inspired a complicated answer.

So many predicted close races, which is understandable. But turnout favored the anti-kings…. And blew the predictions up. 2026, and 2028….. stand back and stand by

A brilliantly bittersweet classic

Matt Berninger traded his notebook for a baseball. And the words kept coming

This is just a fantastic story and brilliant piece of writing, by @bfquinn.bsky.social, about how The National's Matt Berninger started writing his lyrics on baseballs

www.nytimes.com/athletic/675...

Screenshot from Athletic story: "Dad listened when working in the yard or in the garden or in the garage. Paul Berninger loved hunting, fishing and camping (still does), but always had room for baseball. He coached Matt’s tee-ball team and got tickets to a few games a year at the new Riverfront Stadium. Father and son would watch Pete Rose fly around the field, careen into second base, get up and shake the dirt from the folds of his jersey. There’s no more indelible image of Cincinnati in the ’70s than that. Except then Paul would lean over to tell his son about the Pete Rose he knew. See, Paul grew up not too far from Pete, in the Western Hills section of the city. The two worked at the same golf course as teenagers. One night, the story went, when Paul was trying to close the caddie shack, Pete came in, demanding a candy bar or something. Paul told Pete the shack was closed. Pete, according to Paul, responded by urinating on the counter. “They didn’t exactly get along,” Matt says.

How former can’t-miss NFL prospect Robert Gallery survived a descent into darkness After 10 surgeries and eight NFL seasons came brain fog, ringing in his ears, memory voids, tequila, rage and thoughts of taking his life.

Robert Gallery's journey...I had no idea. Best to him and his family.
