I don't know why any Potterhead would watch this show.
Fandom Pulse@fandompulse
According to reports, HBO Max is already going off script with Harry Potter, introducing a scene for Hermione where she receives her Wizarding School acceptance letter, which was not in the books.

It’s jarring how many people I know who couldn’t care less about the NBA right now. Was at a brewery last weekend watching the NCAA and it was like pulling teeth trying to get anyone to talk about the league. The NBA has a serious cultural problem with the American sports fan.

@micarosenberg You’re right. Let’s get rid of birth citizenship. That’s ridiculous.

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵

@alyssamariiee11 They would rather be right and for Americans to die than the other way around

@BriannaWu This is one of those situations where I would much rather have AI write the plot than whatever this is

Unlike most “Star Trek Fans,” I like Trek that isn’t TOS and TNG. I loved Voyager and Enterprise. I thought Picard and even Discovery had great arcs.
And even I think this show is trash.
It’s moralistic and preachy. It’s cringe. The characters fall flat. It’s a complete betrayal of everything that makes Star Trek good.

EXCLUSIVE: “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” will end with its upcoming second season. The show failed to find a significant audience, not ranking on Nielsen’s Top 10 streaming viewership charts at any point during its 10-episode first season. wp.me/pc8uak-1lH3kQ

@PeterMallouk It’s almost like reducing demand through immigration enforcement causes prices to drop 🤔

Hang on… Chicago wants to attract more tourists. It has created a marketing campaign to do that; and, in order to fund it, the city is… making it more expensive to stay in Chicago by raising taxes on hotel rooms? Do I have that right?

@amyknowsball Because you can only watch Steph Curry shoot so many three-pointers

@BlabberingC I mean, this criteria makes more sense than like 50% need to be minority, women, or gays

A Spanish influencer who went to the HBO set of Harry Potter has revealed that "One of the requirements to work on the series was that everyone involved (cast and crew) had to be a genuine Harry Potter fan."
I'm sorry, at what point did the hiring of Andy Greenwald, a writer for the show, who never read Harry Potter PRIOR to being hired be deemed "a genuine fan?"
Hiring Pappa to be Snape...... that was done by genuine fans?!
This is insane, and just straight up gaslighting fans at this point.

@JBPritzker If you care so much about fraudulent elections, why do you insist that voters don’t need to show ID to vote?

Donald Trump’s plan to steal the 2026 midterm elections is already underway.

NEW: Former Trump official Steve Bannon suggested the president deployed ICE officers to major U.S. airports as a “test run” for using them in upcoming elections. According to the administration, they will not assist TSA with passenger screenings but instead guard exit lanes or check IDs. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/ba…

@ShamsCharania Maybe it’s because they had to allocate more money to WNBA salaries
English
The NBA has informed teams that the league is projecting a $165 million salary cap for 2026-27 -- $1M lower than previous outlooks due to a reduction in local media revenue, sources tell ESPN. Minimum salary $149M, tax level $201M, first apron $209M, second apron $222M also $1M lower each.

@bibbopfany Young people are more right wing than any previous generation.
ICE in space would have done better than what Paramount put out.

starfleet academy was paramount's best opportunity to get the new generations interested in star trek and they completely fumbled bc their company's pockets didn't overflow on the first day it aired

NYT confirmed on Friday that Paolo Zampolli used his influence to have her transferred to an ICE facility. She disappeared for 3.5 months & was at 2 different facilities. She has described the horrors of that experience. Amanda’s story is much bigger than anyone realizes. MUCH.
AnthonyAndrews@anthon7yandrews
Amanda’s story is unique. She’s been targeted since she was at least 15 yo & was trapped in a relationship with a powerful older man who spent 20+ years abusing her in various ways. Then when she finally broke free & found freedom, Paolo used his influence to have ICE deport her.
English
@SanDiegoKnight Yeah, you weren’t using B2 for visitation purposes. You were using it to extend your stay while attempting to secure additional employment.
English
This timeline escalated fast:
Laid off on H-1B
Filed B2 near the end of the 60-day grace period
Found a new job
Filed for an H-1B transfer
Then this happened:
B2 denied
Grace period not recognized
Out of status
Final notice from USCIS:
Leave the country
or pay a $100,000 fee and reprocess abroad
Timeline went from employed → compliant → out of status in weeks
This is how the system is currently being applied

@ChinaNipona You have the right to do what you want with your life.
But your friend is right, you’re living hedonistically without purpose. We’re not here just to spend money and travel and eat good food.

Tengo 37 años, gano bien, viajo 4 veces al año y mi casa siempre está impecable y en silencio. Ayer mi mejor amiga, que tiene 2 hijos y vive estresada, me dijo que mi vida 'no tiene propósito' porque no he formado una familia.
Honestamente, veo su vida (pañales, gritos, no dormir, cero ahorros) y me parece una pesadilla. Le respondí que mi propósito es disfrutar mi dinero y mi paz, no ser una mártir de la maternidad. Se ofendió muchísimo. ¿Tan difícil es aceptar que algunos elegimos NO arruinar nuestra vida?

@afrocosmist Yeah, Star Trek always had some liberal slop.
Back in high school we used to call Discovery the USS Politically Correct.

i will readily admit that NuTrek writing sucks & is hamfisted & feels pandering but this is from Deep Space Nine. fuck off
