I just finished ”Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die” by @greerstothers.bsky.social and feel COMPELLED to sing its praises. Unique and wonderful, I can’t recommend it enough. In all the best ways, it felt like a Terry Pratchett book while still being absolutely and remarkably original.

I know it’s silly to complain about essentially a fanfic movie, but the Love Hypothesis movie was so disappointing. They removed every bit of Olive’s agency and every bit of active consent to shove in shittier plot points. Adam is effectively the main character and she’s just a lonely damsel.

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

Dealing with the flu during this tumult, I’ve been rewatching TNG between coughing and bouts of reading the news. I love TNG but cannot stand how atrociously the crew treats the fantastic and wonderful Lwaxana Troi. DS9 is my favorite show for many reasons, but valuing her is one of them. #treksky

Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: "Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don't let them have the show."
Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," she said. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us."
Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms.
Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room.
"I learned at a young age you don't give in to threats," Ms. Omar said.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.
