So...you just went on TV and said you were Captain Kirk knowing that it was wrong and thought "no one will make fun of me for this"? Because that shows me that you don't know how much New York hates you.

This Year’s Halloween Horror Is Mitt Romney Dressed Like Ted Lasso, Quoting Friday Night Lights

Ted Lasso crying and emotional

Sure, I believe that Halloween is for everyone and if a character speaks to you then you should honor them by dressing like it for the holiday. But when you're a Republican Senator who makes it his life goal to take rights away from Americans at every turn, maybe don't dress like a character who urges us all to be kind to one another because clearly you don't understand what Ted Lasso is trying to teach you, Mitt.

Things We Saw Today: Masters of the Universe: Revelation—Part 2 Trailer Has Dropped

skeletor has the power in masters of the universe part 2

Earlier this year the Kevin Smith continuation series based on the He-Man cartoon that was popular in the 80s. It was met with mixed results for choosing to go against the grain of what people expected from a He-Man series. It ended with a cliffhanger that I have wanted to see concluded since I binge watched it. Plus, the voice cast is spectacular. Right now Skeletor has the power and you know that can't be good.
