Yeah, I lucked out in having nothing better to do at the time. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to catch all of the rest of the series, but I’m definitely going to keep an eye on it!

I don’t really follow baseball at all, and haven’t watched any of the playoffs to date. But I did watch this.

“As the labour movement in this province, our leaders have made a commitment to rise to that challenge, defend the teachers and their rights, defend worker rights more broadly, and to defend our democracy. We have no choice.”

[Gil McGowan, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour] stopped short of confirming whether that response would include a provincewide strike, but said, “it’s one of the things that’s actively under consideration."

I’m not in Alberta, but pay doesn’t seem to be the sticking point here - the union is trying to negotiate on class sizes (which AFAIK the province is refusing to even disclose) and classroom supports.

Abuse of the NWS has been progressively normalized over the last few decades, and I think we’ve reached the breaking point.

Noted?

Thank you - this is what I’m here for.

I linked to the article!

I took it from a news article from last week, which suggests pretty strongly that that proposal is exactly what was implemented, and they never produced an updated graphic.

But again, I’d welcome a genuine correction.

If you have additional information that contradicts it, I’d happy to see it. I don’t live in Quebec, and only know what I know.

Deadline is actually an American Hollywood/entertainment industry trade outlet, so it’s definitely not a Canadian thing.

Weird metaphor to have in your style guide, though.

Rosalind Lear appears to be hiding some kind of alternative motivation for investigating into Khan and Ceti Alpha

I didn’t find this surprising in the sense that she’s seemed…biased, to say the least. But the scene with Tuvok was nice, even though in the moment I was wondering if it was Lear or Delmonda that was meant to be the liar. Context suggests it’s her, though.

The song the young augments were listening to was Your Touch released in 2021.

Interesting. I wonder if it’s a favourite of Kirsten Beyer or something - I’m a little surprised that they went to the effort of clearing a pop song of any kind.

Khan’s odd mercy towards him

I see it as a means to an end - looking like he’s living up to his end of the bargain with Delmonda. A dangerous game to be playing, though.

the inevitable loss of McGiven’s to the Ceti Eel.

I know this is consistent with the film, but part of me wishes she had met her demise more directly as a result of some choice that Khan made, if only to reinforce just how foolish she had been to join his little cult in the first place.

The Lego thing was officially announced a while back.

I think Star Trek merchandise is decent…when it comes to the high-end, ridiculously-priced market.

When it comes to affordable stuff…less so.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like the decision to add these aliens to the story was a good one. It gives Khan someone to be tyrannical toward, since his cultist followers don’t really give him a reason to do monstrous things.

That’s a pain. I guess a delete and repost might do it, or on desktop you might be able to set a different thumbnail URL.

Wrong link?

No, it says Canadian “beer” killed him. It’s an immediate signal that it wasn’t actually beer.
