Briefly coming back to this cursed site to let you all know that I have a new podcast! It’s called Enterprisesplaining where each week one of us watches an episode of Star Trek Enterprise and attempts to explain it to the others. Our first two episodes are out today! #StarTrek

George W Bush ran a 5k in under 22 minutes and yet somehow he was still a shit president.

[Francis X. Suarez @FrancisSuarez]

Name another presidential candidate who can place 6th in a 5k with a 24 and a half minute run time.

Go.

@gorskon At least today I don’t smell any smoke. It looks like you’re getting what we had yesterday. I’ve taken to wearing a KN95 when outdoors.

[Jamie Bernstein @uajamie.bsky.social @UAJamie]

@gorskon Same deal in Chicago today! I took this around 1.5 miles from sear’s tower and you can barely see it. It was even worse yesterday.

Slate is just out here recapping episodes of DS9 in their advice columns now

@kathy_godwin I’ve hired people just out of data science degree programs who have been blindsided by the fact that most of their job consists of prepping data. Everyone wants to get to the “fun” part but doesn’t understand the work it takes to get there!

My favorite theory so far for why Fox News finally decided to drop Tucker Carlson is that it wasn’t the white supremacist talking points or transphobia or even the $700M lawsuit, but that Rupert Murdoch just wanted to cancel his ex’s favorite tv show.

Though I recognize that it’s perhaps widely understating the popularity of Formula 1 to call it “niche” when according to this article, its fan-base is double the size of that of the NFL. It just feels niche to me because I know so little about it.

The last-paragraph plot twist in this @AskAManager update letter made me gasp out loud. Someone needs to secure the rights to this romcom stat! https://t.co/qeoFn3SKKP

@BeeBrookshire @FailureAdapt I would love an episode on the absolute mess that is Mel Gibson’s Hamlet.

[Jamie Bernstein @uajamie.bsky.social @UAJamie]

If any other filmmakers are making a tv show or movie set in 2003 and want accurate teenager fashion from that time, might I suggest a little-known documentary series called The OC?

[Jamie Bernstein @uajamie.bsky.social @UAJamie]

I watched The Last of Us premier last night, but it seemed really unrealistic that a teenager in 2003 would be wearing mid-rise jeans.
