Musk criticising Starfleet Academy about not having LASIK in the future because Captain Ake wears reading glasses. She needs reading glasses because she’s presbyopic, which LASIK CAN’T FIX. BTW same condition Kirk had in WoK, but you don’t care about that, because this was never about Trek, was it?

I love how @dc.com’s Young Justice grows up with its viewers. Kids in season one worrying about crushes and fitting in are now dealing with school selection for their autistic children. Terrific writing, exceptional storylines and a cartoon not afraid to be real and honest with the audience

I will forever think of this film as one to be experienced, not enjoyed

Rupert Lowe: β€œI’ve never bullied anyone” he says, in a highly bullying tone

Netflix UK has gone weird: Showing Justice League Unlimited on my laptop with an expiry of 8th May, but not showing the series at all on my iPad. Not complaining, as I love JLU, just madly dashing and not turning off my laptop to watch it all

The Crow sure does commit a lot of murders considering there’s only one of him

Can somebody explain to me why THE ALGORITHM has decided to give me loads of Blackadder clips but, more specifically, why (as a BBC show) it’s only available behind a paywall on ITV-X?!

Saw a car with the licence plate S066 ELL whilst listening to @newsagents.bsky.social, and despite the spelling difference I wondered if John Sopel (or perhaps his driver) was choosing to holiday in sunny Winchester for a change

One of my favourite things about watching The Residence is that, despite its political setting, it in no way tries to shoehorn a Trumpian/MAGA archetype into the narrative. I get why a lot of film/TV does that lately, but it t just feels creatively lazy to me.

My wife’s immediate reaction to Spock starting to sing in Subspace Rhapsody was β€˜Oh fuck off’ followed by β€˜he’s got a nice voice’

6:10 is an absurd time for a venue to put their opening act on. Merch table is more full than the pit

I love the idea of the writers looking at the ethical nightmare fuel of grey areas in wartime morality, then deciding to throw in a daft Ferengi episode as a palate cleanse

It’s nice to see a bonus in your paycheck, but then you look at your credit card statement and Rutger Hauer from the end of Blade Runner starts playing in your head

It was sunny and mild yesterday, so I have a powerful urge to buy some Aperol and begin my basic bitch summer early

The school drama from MySpace Top 8 updates back in the 00s was too real

Watching some old school YuGiOh, because nostalgia, and I swear to god I can see Kaiba wearing a MAGA hat with some of the shit he talks. #yugioh

I know everyone in the metal community is losing their minds over the Black Sabbath announcement, but honestly that line up just looks exhausting to me.

Anybody else feel like Section 31 was originally a terrible sci-fi spy film script that they just decided to shoehorn into the Star Trek Universe to try and generate buzz?

I might be oversimplifying, but it seems like the people decrying β€˜censorship’ on socials are the same people wanting Xwitter to be a like a town square public forum. If you’d get in trouble shouting it in a town square, you can get in trouble posting it online

Bands keep trying to do Christmas Metal songs as if Carol of the Bells hasn’t been mining a sense of paralysing dread that Sabbath could only dream of since 1919

It's hilarious that nobody making Star Trek thought of making a warp based torpedo that's just an incredibly fast battering ram, but I guess they thought of calling it something like a "warpedo" and realised oh no that sounds like two bad things

Hate Me by Blue October. Lead singer’s song about recovering from alcoholism, and asking his mum to stay away from him so that he doesn’t let her down again
