I have no beef with Paul Wesley - young Kirk was described as "a stack of books with legs" back in TOS, and I think that comes through in the performance.

But Sam Kirk is an absolute delight.

If the first season wasn't your cup of tea, you might try skipping to season two - I personally think it's the weakest of the five, but it does introduce Mount, Peck, and Romijn as Pike, Spock, and Una.

And then there's the major shift at the end, which sets the stage for some seasons that I really enjoyed.

There was a leak a few days ago suggesting July 31, which has since been retracted by the source (SkyShowtime in Europe).

Interesting, thanks for catching that.

It does seem like a strange "error"...

This will probably be the only remotely positive thing I'll have to say about the CPC during this campaign, but good for them for taking out the trash.

And yeah, there's still a lot of trash left.

I know it was technically the lower bid, but I had high hopes for the Loblaws offer.

Not quite an MP, but Senator Paula Simons has had a presence on Mastodon for over two years.

Anything that focuses on construction is the way to go.

Hiya Toys is pushing their Kelvin line pretty hard, though they also have the license for some SNW stuff - there's an Anson Mount Pike figure available.

I think he could, and would, do exactly that, if Danielle Smith were a federal CPC candidate.

It'd be just as wrong, too.

Historically, SkyShowtime has made episodes available on a one-day delay, so July 31 is likely the date for Paramount+.

With it being called a technical briefing, it's probably pretty benign. But...maybe it isn't?

Liberals will boot this man from the party if what he did was actually bad and deserves a punishment.(which in this case it certainly was)

He made the comments in January. He apologized on Friday. It's now Sunday, and not a word from the party...

Yet another source said the campaign has a "weird fixation" with relatively minor issues, like how the media is reporting Poilievre's rally crowd sizes. This Conservative said this should not be a concern for senior leaders like Byrne, given other issues they are grappling with.

You cannot make this up.

Honestly, I just couldn't find a Canadian news source that had run with a description of the call yet, so I figured I'd go looking for the PMO press release.

The leaders agreed to begin comprehensive negotiations about a new economic and security relationship immediately following the election. In the interim, the leaders agreed that conversations between the Minister of International Trade and Intergovernmental Affairs and President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada, Dominic LeBlanc, and the United States Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, will intensify to address immediate concerns.

It's worth noting that in his statement on Truth Social, Trump dropped the "Governor" BS and called Carney the Prime Minister.

We should never go back

I agree...but at some point, there will have to be normalization. Whatever that new normal ends up being.

I've liked what Carney has said outside of the campaign - in his meetings with European leaders, he's been talking about this new status quo we find ourselves in as a permanent change in the global order, rather than a four-year blip.

On the campaign trail? I can't say that he's been particularly inspiring so far.
