The modernized definition expands the list of positions that count toward the total to include jobs like showrunner, special effects director and head of costuming.

The CRTC says those roles should be staffed by humans, not AI.

I don't think it's that straightforward. They just gave the South Park guys half a billion dollars, and re-upped Jon Stewart for another year.

The CBS News division is a tire fire right now, but I don't think there have been signs of creative interference in the studios.

You know, yet.

I wonder is Lear ever tried to meet up with her Noonien Singh relatives?

With Tuvok's comment about using his position to advocate for augments, I wonder if they're considering a Tim Russ/Christina Chong spinoff.

I think I agree with your overall sentiment - not the greatest thing I've ever heard, but I'm glad they made it.

The highlights for me were the semi-rehabilitation of McGivers, and the fleshing out of Khan's ~~cult~~ followers. And I'm glad they didn't go down the "Khan wasn't so bad" road, instead going with, "Khan was a pretty bad guy who maybe could have turned it around under different circumstances," which...is a pretty Star Trek message, even if it's not one I was very interested in exploring.

Yeah, I lucked out in having nothing better to do at the time. I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch all of the rest of the series, but I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it!

I don't really follow baseball at all, and haven't watched any of the playoffs to date. But I did watch this.

"As the labour movement in this province, our leaders have made a commitment to rise to that challenge, defend the teachers and their rights, defend worker rights more broadly, and to defend our democracy. We have no choice."

[Gil McGowan, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour] stopped short of confirming whether that response would include a provincewide strike, but said, “it’s one of the things that's actively under consideration."

I'm not in Alberta, but pay doesn't seem to be the sticking point here - the union is trying to negotiate on class sizes (which AFAIK the province is refusing to even disclose) and classroom supports.

Abuse of the NWS has been progressively normalized over the last few decades, and I think we've reached the breaking point.

I'm begging you all, please report stuff that breaks the community rules and/or TOS - no one needs to put up with that nonsense.

Oh cool, GFR has finally gone mask-off.

This has always been the case, but I'm going to take this opportunity to state that links to that site are not allowed here, and will be removed on sight.

Thank you - this is what I'm here for.
