If @ArcLightCinemas Hollywood were open for The Odyssey they’d make millions of dollars. They have multiple 70MM and 35MM projectors just sitting there abandoned!

30 Rock is the greatest show ever specifically because of avian bone syndrome

The most compelling case for traditional journalism is always made by its critics.

I don't think this is really true at all anymore? I've seen it featured in basically every movie and TV show set in the present in like the last several years

I worked at CBS News for almost 6 years. It was a place that frequently drove me crazy bc of how resistant it was to change. How difficult it was to get things done bc you had to fight so many people and their “Cronkite and Murrow would roll over in their graves if they saw” mentality.

For those who think Scott Pelley was part of the problem, you are wrong. Yes he could be rigid and a stickler for certain traditions. But I will tell you now the Gen Z people I worked w all loved him. Like me, they forgave a lot of his boomer ways bc we were in awe of investigations he did using hidden cameras exposing snake oil salesmen hurting Americans; showing us how Assad was using chemical weapons on his own people; the pain of rural Americans waiting for half a day to get affordable healthcare in a parking lot of a mobile clinic; his searing interviews w survivors of mass shootings.

Yeah he was old fashioned in some ways. I used to tease him bc he always had trouble pronouncing Beyoncé’s name.

But he was willing to be pushed. He was open to new ideas. The fact that someone like me and someone like him got along so well is proof of that. The guy made me a better thinker and a better journalist.

Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate series.

There's not much I can add beyond confirming what's happened. But I will say this...

Creator Martin Gero developed a new Stargate series over two years, ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon. It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family. And based on that creative vision, the new Stargate series was greenlit in November of 2025.

As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters - or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past.

My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. For Martin who maintained an unwavering positive outlook throughout despite the challenges, and who always strove to make a show that would honor the fans while welcoming a new audiences. And for the long-suffering Stargate fandom who waited so long and came so close to getting a show they truly would have loved.

food and drinks consumed in a movie theater doesn’t really go into your body. it goes into your movie theater body which is separate & holy and harm-proof

This is the article to amplify this week.

“Long COVID confirmed a difficult reality: modern healthcare systems are optimized for diseases that can be rapidly diagnosed, categorized, and treated — not illnesses that require uncertainty tolerance, longitudinal care, and deep listening.”

I wrote about the Pope and why Christian tech critics often have a more compelling response to the AI crisis than their secular counterparts. Simply, Christian writers aren't afraid of "human nature" talk, and they understand THE question of the AI Age is: what are people for? 🧵

Every news outlet missed this story: Becerra's social media engagement suspiciously spiked just as Swalwell imploded — and whoever is behind it is breaking the law by running an undisclosed influence operation.

I've covered box office results literally hundreds of times in my career. The mind-blowing success of "Backrooms" and "Obsession" this weekend easily ranks in the top 1% as far as long-term significance for the movie business. My story w/ @johnjurg: https://t.co/rknlAhFvbG

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

I think we're on the verge of a golden age in cardio-metabolic health (thanks GLP1s!) and oncology (CAR-T, daraxonrasib, checkpoint inhibitors).

But let's be real about what average lifespans in the 100s would require.

The oldest documented person died 29 years ago. Jeanne Calment at 122yo. In 30 years, with all of the advances in medicine, NOBODY ELSE has even gotten to 120.

A life expectancy at birth of 110 years would require about 25% of women to live longer than Calment and about 6% of women to live past 150—three decades older than the record. (source: Olshansky et al).

This isn't even close to happening yet.

The good news is that we're getting better and better at eliminating death before 80. We're not (yet) getting any better at extending life beyond 110. Doing so will probably require advances that have nothing to do with GLP1s and cancer therapies. You basically need to build new bodies for humans.

@GinaIppy Heck yeah. I switched to a paid search service - Kagi (https://t.co/v0DfZLtmXR) - because it makes your data and advertising to you no longer the product.

It's nice having search that actually works, feels ethical, doesn't feel like you're being shoved into a money-making box.

@sr_torch I hated the psycho clowns stuff, so great job bringing me down and then making me HYPE.

I've seen the Unwindulax ep, she'd do it.

@sr_torch That promo about it not mattering where you were born - what magical, wonderful stuff.

When there's so much in pop culture today built on tearing people apart, this was such a beautiful way to bring people together, as goofy as it all is.

[Mike Roe @MikeRoe]

@sr_torch I love Chad Gable so much; glad he got a chance at redemption from a gimmick that inspired so much skepticism going in, with Ludwig doing so much to make it his own too.

Well booked, pulled in all the threads so well. Love wrestling storytelling that shows care like this.
