if people think this is NOT related to #Paramount killing off #MTV & #VH1 and deleting decades of archives from the internet, Americans need to think long and hard about what they have given up as a society by treating art, history and culture as either luxury goods to be owned by a plutocratic kakistocracy, or as charities to be nickled and dimed by a fascist kleptocracy.

RIP Paramount+ —

“To meet requirements set under pro-Trump FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, Skydance said it would ensure diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs remain dead at the new company...”

This is going to sound like I’m working for #Paramount … but I promise – it’s just my genuine love for all things #StarTrek.

And if you’re a fan, you probably already know that “Strange New Worlds” is made by folks who truly love Trek.

Season 3 just began, but we also got a sneak preview of something special planned for Season 4 …

no, it’s not “Pigs in Space,” but the #JimHenson Creature Shop will be lending a hand (many hands, actually).

I. Can’t. Wait!

That face! That hair! It can only be Captain Pike … transmogrified into a Muppet!

I really love it how Matt Stone and Trey Parker gave such an incredible massive middle finger to #Paramount, #Skydance and the #Trump admin all in one

However, it's also super sad it can only be done via a satire cartoon

Take a look big US companies, that's how you stand up, now do the same and stop kissing the ring
