Holy crap, I didn't realize how much I needed the Scrubs revival at this point in time.

Discord Launches Teen-by-Default Settings Globally Discord is announcing enhanced teen safety features rolling out globally that reinforce its long-standing commitment to creating a safer and more inclusive experience for users over the age of 13.

Just months after a data breach where hackers got access to some of their stored government-issued IDs, this seems like a brilliant idea by Discord.

Putting a good chunk of recent technical knowledge exclusively on their platform has always been a mistake.

I was going to take my blood pressure, but "Guest Starring Louise Fletcher as Kai Winn" just appeared on my TV screen.

Nominations are now open for the Order of New Brunswick and, I don't want to heavily influence anyone's vote, but I did just have a really good round of Fast Money in Family Feud for the Commodore 64.

Man, I am digging the hell of our Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.

It turns out the secret to good Trek is optimism-driven, classic A-story and B-story character-driven episodes without the focus of the entire season being on one single universe-threatening plot line that barely pays off.

Classic.

I believe tonight was the 20th State of the Province television broadcast that I've produced.

Let me tell you, lugging the gear in and out does not get any easier with age, now how much smaller and lighter it seems to get.

We’re proud to be the third-oldest campus radio station in Canada and one of the founding members of the NCRA. Sixty-five years on air is no small featβ€”especially in a time when local journalism is disappearing and funding for community media keeps shrinking nationwide.

Why does every modern Star Trek ship have to have eye-level pot lights? Ignoring the ceiling-mounted flame throwers, this has to be the most incomprehensible design choice.

Radial Entertainment Completes Purchase of 'MST3K' - Bytes Europe John Latchem

Radial Entertainment, the merged entity of Shout! Studios and FilmRise, has purchased Mystery Science Theatre 3000.

MST3K is one of my most reliable comfort shows, ever since I stumbled onto it with the big C-band satellite dish in the very early 90s.

Getting vehicle maintenance done is the only time I watch any daytime television.

A host just tasted a bit of chicken and rice and the audience gasped and β€œohhh”-ed like she just revealed the cure to cancer.

I think I’m too cynical to properly handle modern day media.

If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of thousands of midwestern comedians dusting off their Jesse Ventura impressions.

I've been enjoying (ironically, I assure you) the amount of security camera footage of vehicles at robbery scenes that might have identified someone if only the front plate had still been installed.

I'm new to this apnea stuff and amazed: The mark-up on prices for CPAP machines and accessories at clinics is, how can I put this... Brazen?

I've dropped and shattered three monocles in disbelief so far.

I can't tell if the current temperament is more "Wag the Dog" or "Canadian Bacon".

NHL'94: Fight Edition NHL'94: Fight Edition "It's the same old NHL94, now with fighting!" After working on this since mid-March of 2025, I am proud to present NHL94: Fight Edition. The ROM in this post is just that: the or...

Kudos to chaos (with support from others) for pulling it off: NHL 94 for the Sega Genesis now has fighting restored in a new modded rom available here: forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/t...

The original game had fighting removed at the request of the NHL. I've waited three decades for this!

I haven't loaded my Animal Crossing town in years. I'm afraid that if I do so now, I will discovery nothing but barrel fires and cannibalism.

You know what I miss about the NHL? Massive two team trades in the 80s and 90s where teams were just like "hey, do you want to swap 1/4 of the top of your roster with us for some reason?".

The Doug Gilmour (CGY->TOR) and Eric Lindros (QUE->PHI) trades are particularly fun to read.
