To Boldly Prep, Like No Prepper Has Done Before
September 8th is National Star Trek Day. A day dedicated to the beloved sci-fi fandom that has been around for decades. Star Trek has been on TV since 1966 and has spun off into several popular TV series and countless movies. The show is so popular that it has parody spin-offs such as The Orville enjoying just as much success as them. As of 2020, there are over 5,500 dedicated fans (or Trekkies, as they call themselves) in over 240 fan clubs, with many more not joining. The fans are so dedicated to the franchise that many have learned the foreign languages made popular on the show like Klingon. Whether your captain is James T. Kirk, Jean-Lu Picard, or Christopher Pike, we can learn a lot about surviving doomsday while on board the USS Enterprise.

#60yearsofJamesBond: Die Another Day
Few Bond films stoke quite the reaction that "Die Another Day" does. The final Bond film to feature Pierce Brosnan was controversial from its release in 2002, and has remained so in the twenty years since. Many fans take issue with a number of elements of this film, including, but not limited to: the plot, the characters, the direction, the acting, the product placement, the CGI, the humour and the gadgets. That's quite a list, sure, but, perhaps, "Die Another Day"'s problems stretch quite a bit deeper. As the first Bond film of the 21st century, "Die Another Day" should have shown how Bond could survive in a new and changing world, with a cinema landscape that was radically different to the one the franchise had emerged into forty years previously. Instead, it reignited the debate that had seemed to have been settled back in the early 90s about Bond being outdated, and that maybe it was time to move on from this 60s stereotype of British masculinity. And it is hard to argue that this film gives this impression: far from being a celebration of the franchise's forty year history, this film nearly kills that legacy by being pretty much a train wreck from beginning to end.

When the Living Bury the Dead . Top Story - August 2022.
Wake up babe, a new 95 Theses just dropped. For those lucky enough to not have your lives inundated by the relentless hellscape that is Twitter, you may have missed the latest discourse. The microcosm of wokescold-eat-wokescold that is Book Twitter (booktwt for short) has once again proven that reading and being utterly illiterate are not mutually exclusive. At 10:39 pm on August 17, a thread dropped which rendered the general atmosphere of Twitter somewhere between uninhabitable and euphoric. The thread–the poster of which remain unnamed to avoid further harassment of her–started like this:

Should you shorten your film?
If considering submitting your film to film festivals, then this is the most important piece of guidance I can give you, it’s the easiest thing to do, but the worst thing to face up to. That is to have some low-level focus groups. This sounds utterly ridiculous, but this could save you a lot of time and money in the long run.

Why the Cookie is Really Crumbling
Cookies are going away! Wait. Oreos? Chocolate chip? Not that kind of cookie. Third-party identifiers, a.k.a. cookies, are going to be deprecated (no longer used) by Google starting this year. That’s not right. Next year. Nope again. In 2024? There it is, or at least that is the latest date Google has given the us. Why does Google keep moving the ball? Because they are not ready; they have not figured out how to deal with the monetary consequences of ending cookies. So then, that probably makes you ask… “Why are they doing away with cookies at all?”. That’s it, that’s the question for today. Sneak peek? Apple.
