#Costober2026 begins! This year’s theme is Work of Art. Each day will feature an outfit inspired by a painting, sculpture, or other artistic piece. Day one: Nine Dragons (1244), a handscroll painting by Cheng Rong (China).

Anika stares out behind her light blonde hair. She wears a black top with a white dragon etched in each sleeve and leans over the table.

Anika’s legs up on a tree trunk table with her ankles crossed. She is wearing tights with illustrated dragons and black boots.

Anika poses in her front yard, with her arms out wide like a scroll.

CIA season 2 premieres in eight days, so I finally caught up on season 1. Utterly distracted by this wig in the finale and how much it made her look like Christine.

Two images of Christine Chapel in Strange New Worlds season four and two images of Toni Napier in CIA season one. The two women resemble each other strongly due to their blonde, wavy wigs with bangs (and their cheekbones).

I wanted to join in and rank the episodes of Strange New Worlds season four but it’s mixed feelings all the way down. All very personal and while I figured out a through-line to the season while prepping to discuss the finale on the pod, it didn’t help it make sense. I feel upside down.

My son wants your opinion on something. He is playing Mass Effect and thinks that I would very much like Garrus. Thoughts?

lizbee 10/5/24, 5:34 PM
He is 100% correct
Garrus is Elliot Stabler if he was an alien bird dinosaur dude

There is something so unbelievably bleak about an article that calmly walks readers through how to navigate being laid off after 50, losing your health insurance, and somehow surviving the years until Medicare. What a broken country.

Laid Off After 50, and No Health Insurance? Here’s What to Consider. (Gift Article)

At best, older workers will struggle to find health insurance that bridges the years before they qualify for Medicare at age 65.

This is absolutely mind blowing. The RFK-ization of our nation’s healthcare system encapsulated in one video clip. This was unthinkable even a few years ago. Such a disgrace.

Joseph M’Benga was RIGHT THERE! He knew the stories! He was the pov character the first time around! They could avoid the bad optics so easily and instead they pat themselves on the back for a Princess Bride reference.

I don’t have a clear idea what the fandom will think of tomorrow’s SNW overall, but I think there is one bit we will all agree on.

This is a very big deal. For those who don't know, this is not an opening act. This was the Irish band that backed Ed Sheeran on the tour, including at MetLife, on the song Galway Girl and others. He has lost his own backup singers and band over this. It's huge.

It is so mentally corrosive to try to ascertain, every day, whether the images I am seeing or the texts I am getting or the phone calls I am receiving are real - produced by a human who is trying to communicate something with me, even indirectly. It makes me feel insane and paranoid all the time

When you're constantly just trying to keep the lights on and put food on the table, you don't have the time or energy to fight the system. Keeping people hanging on by a thread isn't a policy failure; it's how they keep us too tired to push back.

Five years ago, I somehow convinced @lizbarr.bsky.social to dedicate an episode of our podcast to my fun game of “insert characters from another fandom into Star Trek”. As part of the result, I pitched Olivia Pope. I’m taking Joe Morton’s appearance in today’s SNW as canonizing my idea.

For #StarTrekDay my son, Cass, bought me “Saurian Brandy” (apple vanilla) and asked me to pick three episodes to watch. They had to feature his three favorite characters and be about “thinking differently.”

Let me be clear what Star Trek means to me (not what we actually always saw on TV). It meant the first adult people I ever saw that didn't pretend to know everything all the time. It meant listening to all people and beings before taking action.

If you’re wondering about the gimmick, it’s Crimson Tide and Training Day and Starfleet’s bad apples and YES it may in fact be market research for the movie concept floated last week.
