"Me: Politicians should avoid scenes of tragedies as I've written over the years under different governments.

The more I follow certain journalists the more I realize there are many of them that I would never tell where Anne Frank was hiding and Matt is at the top of that list.

"Since I know you've all been eager to know my thoughts here's a single-tweet review of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Five episodes in I think it's uneven. I think the cast is good. I like them more than I thought I would. I am uninterested in whether the show is "woke" or not I only care about whether it's good. It's been good. It's also been pretty meh. The episodes are so far as I said uneven. But I think the fundamental issue is that the show is trying to straddle a really really fine line. Is this a show that's going to be fun and action-packed and sexy to appeal to young viewers Or is it"

Never saw the animated series all the way through. And am not going to place ST:SA on the list this early. @mattgurney You need to do an entire Line podcast ranking all the Star Trek shows and movies.

"This is correct. I understand the politics of this. I just think it's gross and it would be better if we as a public stopped expecting this sort of thing. But I grant that most of us do. @mattgurney Ya but realistically if they didnt do something like that theyd inevitably be attacked for it.

"Hey guys. This is going to be the most personal update Ive ever shared publicly. I live in public view my work does anyway. Ive never been shy about sharing my ideas or passions. But Ive always worked very hard to keep my family out of view. Thats partly for their safety. But also because despite appearances I am an intensely private person. The public part of my job is exhausting and often a little frightening. Im now facing something far more frightening. And I may need your help. Last fall my wife became very ill. A series of medical tests ruled out the non-scary explanations. Just before"
