After Star Trek Online had spent a good few years presenting its own vision for Star Trek‘s future while the franchise was away from TV, Trek paid it forward over the course of Picard‘s second and third seasons as it brought several of the MMO’s original ship designs into TV canon for the first time. Now, a few years later, Trek on TV is doing it again—with a far-future, Klingon twist. “Vox in Excelso,” the fourth episode of Starfleet Academy, caught us up on what has been going on with the Klingons by the time of its 32nd-century setting, and the answer, for the most…

The Buffalo Bills fired Sean McDermott, who returned the franchise to prominence and guided seven straight double-digit win seasons, only to promote Joe Brady from offensive coordinator to head coach.The decision raised eyebrows far beyond Western New York.AdvertisementBills general manager Brandon Beane apparently wasn’t surprised. Beane, who also received a promotion following the Bills’ AFC divisional-round exit, was prepared for “the outside” to question the anointment of a 36-year-old Brady, the executive revealed in an interview with Go Long.”F*** the outside,” said Beane, now also the Bills’ president of football operations, via Go Long. “It’s about the right selection for…

Well, I don’t even know where to begin about the Richert Beil show, the latest from the label designed by creative and life partners Jale Richert and Michele Beil. It might be one of the most bizarre—in a good way—shows I have ever been to, and God knows I’ve seen a few. Maybe it’s best to start at the beginning, with an email a few days earlier asking for dietary restrictions (no meat, please) and clothing size (I’m tall, so, um, XL?). Cut to the show venue, the new-ish Richert Beil store in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district one bitterly cold night,…

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Arguably the biggest reason why the New England Patriots are suddenly back in the Super Bowl is thanks to the arrival of Drake Maye. The franchise selected the UNC quarterback with the third overall pick at the 2024 NFL Draft, and his Year 2 leap into being an MVP candidate in 2025 has thrust New England into immediate title contention. And none of this may have been possible without Maye’s current teammate and fellow Patriots signal-caller Tommy DeVito.  “Oh, I’ve told him,” DeVito told CBS Sports during Super Bowl Opening Night, acknowledging his understated role in…

Fitbit’s founders have a new startup. Two years after leaving Google, James Park and Eric Friedman announced a new platform that shifts the focus from the individual to the family. They say the Luffu mobile app “uses AI quietly in the background” to collect and organize family health information.”At Fitbit, we focused on personal health — but after Fitbit, health for me became bigger than just thinking about myself,” Park said in a press release. The app is particularly focused on the “CEO of the family” — the person who manages appointments, prescriptions and other health-related tasks.But the definition of…

I found my recipe for fettuccine Alfredo in a spiral-bound community cookbook back in college. The ingredients and instructions were deceptively simple. Melt one part butter into two parts heavy cream. Stir in two parts Parmesan, shredded. Salt and pepper to taste. It made a silky cream sauce that clung to noodles and slices of grilled chicken.It’s a comfort dish I still make on busy nights when I have only a few minutes to cook dinner. I serve it as lunch to my relatives during holidays and to friends who stop by after work or stay over the weekend.That recipe…

A month after the Trump administration began its immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, right-wing creators are turning their attention to a new target in search of fraud: California.Over the last few weeks, right-wing creators who were instrumental in boosting the Minnesota fraud allegations that predated the administration’s surge of federal immigration agents have been going after a number of California’s social welfare programs, making unsubstantiated accusations of fraud—and potentially laying the groundwork for a similar federal crackdown in the nation’s largest Democrat-run state. They’re already getting support from some of President Donald Trump’s key allies too.Nick Shirley, the right-wing influencer…
