While they are sore losers, I do partially agree with one point.
The media shouldn’t be calling anything before all votes are counted. The most egregious recent example is calling Arizona for Biden at 1% of the vote.
Back in 2000, they also called Florida for Gore, before the western panhandle he finished voting!
You don’t get to “call” an election. Your job is to report the numbers.
Orville was a good spiritual successor to Star Trek. They had some really excellent episodes and then some really shitty ones.
A few too many woke themes so I won’t be rewatching them. Also, the two kids were very annoying.
If you want to wet your whistle, I recommend watching Astartes 1-5 on YouTube. Captures the feel for the 40k universe quite well.
As far as reading, Dan Abnett is my favorite 40k author by far. He’s responsible for Gaunts ghosts and eisenhorn (among others).

Just be careful, you can get lost for hours here.
Old Man’s War is actually pretty good by itself. The rest of the series falls off substantially after that.
The problem with Scalzi is that he is almost entirely dialogue driven. He can’t describe a setting to save his life.
I tried to like the force awakens and justify all the bad decisions they made.
But after the last Jedi, I gave up. I watched it in the theater once and that was one time too many. I keep replaying scenes in my head and it’s all just so. fucking. Awful.
Even the saber fight in the throne room was bad in retrospect.
I absolutely refuse to watch the rise of skywalker or whatever shit title they gave to Ep 9. Disney is truly a shit stain on everything we grew up loving.
