Sure, I just don't find "everybody does it" to be a particularly compelling argument. Wrong is wrong.

That seems like a little much - there's plenty of foreign media that produces worthwhile content.

Blacklisting certain outlets, on the other hand...

"Tariffs are now a global policy of the United States," said David Paterson, Ontario's representative in Washington. "And this is a historic change to global trading patterns, and [the Americans are] very aware of that."

Paterson said the American plan is to impose tariffs by sector across countries all around the world on April 2. From there, the countries that get along with the U.S. the best will be "first in line" to adjust or mitigate the tariffs.

[Ambassador Kirsten] Hillman described the meeting as "concrete" and appreciated the conversations, but she noted that nothing changed in terms of the ongoing trade war between Canada and the U.S.

Normally, this would be more of a c/quarks post, but fuck it, this is important.

It sucks.

All the major American media companies have done this, but that's not an excuse. It still sucks.

If there's any hope at all (and I'm not completely convinced that there is), it's in statements like this:

To be the best storytellers and to continue to drive success, we must have a highly talented, dedicated and creative workforce that reflects the perspectives and experiences of our many different audiences. Values like inclusivity and collaboration are a part of the Paramount culture and will continue to be.

That might be an indication that the policies themselves are sort of still in place, but under a different name. However, if they're discontinuing all metrics related to it, there will be no real way to know whether their "values" have a significant impact.

That trailer seems pretty insistent that this isn't the end...

TNG's costume department had a lot of...interesting ideas.

Scott "Jonathan Archer" Bakula, Alex "Guy In Charge of the Franchise" Kurtzman, and Wilson "Hugh Culber" Cruz.

“While five seasons of any series these days seems like a miracle, it’s no exaggeration to say that every second we’ve spent making this show has been a dream come true.”

Indeed, if even an animated series is ending after five seasons, I expect this to be a pretty firm maximum moving forward.

“We remain hopeful that even beyond Season 5, Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, Rutherford and the whole Cerritos crew will live on with new adventures,”

That's encouraging.

They're regular "no spill" mugs. Pretty useful on a boat.

And, I guess, in space.

Technically true up until about season five of VOY, at which point the only characters aboard the ship were Seven of Nine, the Doctor, and sometimes Captain Janeway.

This is Naomi Wildman erasure.
