This is one of the best episodes of TV I’ve had the chance to be a part of. To all my TREK pals: this is DARK MATTER’s “The Inner Light”. This is what great genre can do.
Dark Matter S2, episode 5 out now! We were so inspired and moved by everyone who asked what happened to the good Jasons who didn’t get to be with Daniela & Charlie end of S1. This story of what happened to one of them is for you. xoxoxo @AppleTV

The last time I interviewed @AriEmanuel in public, he called on Bibi Netanyahu and Bryan Lourd to resign. We met last week to talk about his new book, his favorite feuds, Kanye West, Elon Musk, David Ellison and much more. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Look, the Emmys are broken. The record for most wins for a comedy has been broken 6 times in 8 years. Lazy voting.
Apple TV’s “Widow’s Bay” racked up 14 Emmy awards to seize the crown that previously belonged to “The Studio.” Here are the highlights from last night’s Emmys: wapo.st/4yB3L2D

Amazon spends more on sports rights than any streaming service, according to Bloomberg. Interesting interview by @Lucas_Shaw here with Amazon's head of sports, Jay Marine: bloomberg.com/news/newslette… Marine on if the NBA could shorten its season: "The league feels like it’s just right. I’ve seen the criticism on both sides. Could it shorten a little bit? Maybe. But when I look at the ratings, I don’t feel it."

No cameras permitted in @usopen locker room, but picture the scene: 4:30 a.m , Carlos Alcaraz is on his bench after QF loss. Tournament personnel goes in to check on him. He is smiling, pops up, and says “thank you for the stage.” Proceeds to thank all the remaining staff - practice desk, security guard - before departing into the night/morning ….

Everyone who says the USTA can't do anything about last night's schedule because tennis matches can run long is wrong. Wimbledon hosts quarterfinal matches on both Centre Court and Court No. 1. The US Open should host them on Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong, but they don't because Armstrong doesn't have corporate luxury suites. It's always about money.
