Matthew Perry’s performance in Friends was a unique combination of charm and vulnerability.

I’m Star Trek old school. Like TOS-Saavik-TWOK old school. And I was so down for Strange New Worlds. But I have never been more down for a show than a USS Titan/Captain Shaw series. (Please) make it so, @TerryMatalas. @ToddStashwick @Alex_Kurtzman

.@jonathansfrakes is the best director in Star Trek, bar none. (Okay, Frakes *and* Nick Meyer.) S3 of Picard is next level. @StarTrek @StarTrekOnPPlus #StarTrekPicard #StartrekPicardSeason3 .

I was today days old when I realised @Orla_Brady (Laris in @StarTrek: #Picard) is the nurse in #AbsolutelyFabulous who recognises Patsy and says: "That's that old slag in the papers last week!" Already loved her. Could not love her more. @TerryMatalas @Ferrifrump @LlewellaGideon

“Equal parts nostalgia and subcutaneous menace.” Season three of Picard is Star Trek’s Mandalorian moment. @TerryMatalas @SirPatStew @jonathansfrakes @levarburton @gates_mcfadden @akaWorf @JeriLRyan @ToddStashwick @BrentSpiner #StarTrekPicard #StarTrek

The third and final season of Picard might be the most menacing Star Trek ever written.

So, ten users in one house is okay, but two in two is not? Nuts. (Not to mention terribly analog.) What about a parent and child who do not live in the same house using one account? What about partners who do not live in the one house using one account? 🤷♂️.
We know there’s confusion about sharing Netflix. A Netflix account is intended for one household, so we’re rolling out new features in New Zealand (and AUS in the coming months) to give you more control over your account. .

Kate Winslet is all class. Junkets are quite silly when you’re experienced, but they’re intimidating when you’re the new kid on the block. Such kindness. 🥰.
Kate Winslet reassuring this young girl that her interview will be amazing is the most precious thing I’ve ever seen

This is confusing. According to DFAT, we prohibited the "import, purchase or transport of oil, gas, refined petroleum products and coal" from Russia in April. So how is this a "major blow" to us? 🤷♂️.
Vladimir Putin has placed a ban on the sale of oil to countries, including Australia, that implemented price caps on Russia in an attempt to put a dent in its war chest.

This is extraordinary. Sadly, I think everyone accepts that politicians lie as a matter of course. But to begin a political career on a bedrock of falsehoods is actually shocking.

George Santos invented his qualifications, his career on Wall Street, and even his religion. Now he’s about to be sworn in to Congress.

In my 500 years in this gig, I have seen a *lot* of dumb decisions. But this is surely top five. Not just CNN's best show, but easily one of the best shows on TV. #stanleytucci #searchingforitaly @cnn

No, no, no. A thousand, million times no. 👀.

Not surprising: the #KathandKim two-part anniversary shed audience from night #1 to night #2. (Sunday: 1.29 million viewers, Monday: 809,000 viewers.) Among the problems: lamentably bad green screen.
smh.com.au
There are easy laughs and poignant moments but the first episode of the two-parter is unexpectedly flat, delivering what amounts to a clip show.

.@FIFAWorldCup apologised to journalist @GrantWahl but the key takeout is this: stadium security staff demanded he change his shirt, and confiscated his mobile phone.

A US journalist said he was briefly detained on Monday when he tried to enter a World Cup stadium in Qatar while wearing a rainbow shirt in support of the LGBTQ community.
