Mike from Red Letter Media claims less than 40,000 people watched Starfleet Academy per episode:
"I heard from my source. Do you want to know the numbers? The entire first season of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, not individual episodes, the entire season total views, about 400,000. Not per episode. Cumulatively, the entire series. About 400,000 views. Which is an average of maybe 40,000 views per episode."
Do you believe views were this bad?

@hollywoodscifi I’m pretty sure that’s @ThatChrisGore on the right.

I started in video games, spent 12 years in Hollywood, then walked away in 2020— still in my late 30s and considered one of the best digital matte painters and concept artists in the industry.
Worked on The Hunger Games, The Mandalorian, Westworld, Game of Thrones, Hugo, The Amazing Spider-Man, and 5 Fast & Furious films, etc. Over 30 credits to my name.
Now I watch my friends panic about AI taking their jobs.
But I’ve seen this before.
Old-school matte painters hated us when we moved from glass to digital.
We were “ruining the craft.”
Now my generation is doing the same thing with AI instead of embracing it.
Here’s the truth:
AI won’t make Hollywood bigger.
It’ll make it better.
For the first time, creative people don’t need permission, budgets, or gatekeepers to bring ideas to life.
Small teams. Less suits. More originality.
This feels like when I first opened Photoshop—with one layer.
We’re early.
And in the end, more people will create than ever before. The process changed but the results will be better imo. For example, I spent 3 months on this matte painting. Now with ai, it can be done in 2 weeks. 👇🏽

@fandompulse That was the next book to purchase on Audible. Not any more.

Matt Dinniman, author of Dungeon Crawler Carl, has choice words for The Critical Drinker:
"I regret that my books have any association whatsoever with him. I hope one day to have his part in book three removed all together. It's a distraction, and the only edgelord douchebag I want people to think of when they read my books is the AI itself."
Why did he feel the need to do this?

Robert is thirty-six years old. In 1247, this is not young. Robert knows this. His knees know this. His back has known this since approximately 1239.
Robert lives in a village in Worcestershire with his wife Agnes, three surviving children, and two chickens he is not allowed to eat because the chickens produce eggs and the eggs matter more than the chickens.
Today is a Tuesday in March. Robert will describe it as a Tuesday in March. The concept of a 'week' as a unit of leisure is not yet something Robert has access to.
5:00am - Up. Pottage on the fire. The pottage is oats, leeks, and some dried parsnip from the autumn store. There is a small piece of salted pork in it, approximately the size of Robert's thumb. It is mostly flavouring. Robert eats around it for as long as possible, then eats it, then thinks about it for the rest of the morning.
6:00am - Field. Robert works the lord's strip first, then his own. The ground is still cold. His boots have a hole. He has had the hole since October. He has packed it with rags. The rags are wet. They will remain wet until June.
Robert is technically eating a plant-based diet. He is not doing this by choice. He is doing this because meat belongs to the lord, the deer belong to the king's forest, and the last man in this village who was caught with an unlicensed rabbit spent a period in the stocks that his family still doesn't fully discuss.
10:00am - Brief rest. Rye bread, hard. A small onion. Robert thinks about the pig that was slaughtered in November. He thinks about this often. The memory of fat is a specific and enduring thing when you don't have much of it.
1:00pm - Back to the field. Robert's average daily calorie intake is somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 calories, the majority from grain. He is doing agricultural labour that modern exercise scientists would classify as extremely high intensity. He is, measurably, running on insufficient fuel. He is aware of this in the way that you are aware of things that cannot be changed: completely, and without drama.
4:00pm - Home. Agnes has made more pottage. It is similar to this morning's pottage. Robert eats it. Robert's teeth hurt. They have hurt for two years. There is no dentist. There is a barber-surgeon in the market town seven miles away. Robert cannot afford the barber-surgeon and cannot take the day from the fields. His teeth continue to hurt.
7:00pm - Sleep. Robert will be awake again at five. He is thirty-six. He will probably not see forty. The leading cause of death for men in his position is a combination of infection, injury, and the slow arithmetic of malnutrition across a lifetime.
Somewhere, eight hundred years from now, someone will describe Robert's diet as "ancestral," "plant-forward," and "aligned with the earth."
Robert would have a great deal to say about this.
Robert does not have the energy.

Why are we okay with 18% of our healthcare premiums going to administrative overhead, marketing, and CEO bonuses?
That’s money stripped from our nurses, our hospitals, and our families.
California can—and must—do better.
Katie Porter@katieporterca
Donald Trump’s attack on our healthcare funding is a crisis, but it can also be an opportunity. If the federal government won’t protect Californians, we will build a system that does. A single-payer system that belongs to us.

@MrAndyNgo @BillMelugin_ Yes, it’s the only way they show people they are in “serious mode”.
English

@BillMelugin_ Did Democrats get a memo to start using more explicit language? They’ve been intentionally doing it a lot more on official videos and posts in a way that is completely inauthentic.

@cg_pete @PeterGilmoreArt Freddy was, “already dead” in his first movie.
English

@PeterGilmoreArt Freddy is literally the only one out of the three that is actually dead at the time of their respective sequel!

@SicSexSix @F13thFranchise @wompstompfilms The tag line for F13 part 2 still rules, “The Body Count Continues.” Definitely beats, “More of the Night He came Home”

@Sargon_of_Akkad @Sargon_of_Akkad please look up Promethean Action if you have not already. Unfortunately it is the back of the British Banking system that is being broken here. So yes, while Callous, it must be done to preserve the West

@CountDankulaTV You literally talk for a living, I sure you did.

I do stand up comedy and public speaking, and whenever I am in a situation like that, I take the piss and make jokes to relax myself.
Then today at Church (Lenten Hours), a place where you can't do any of that, I was led to the altar and told "You will be reading Psalms 57 to 61, then a writ of Theotokos, followed by the Lords Prayer. Begin."
