Although many reacted with joy to the new revelation that the beloved Star Trek character Hikaru Sulu is gay, the openly-gay actor who became famous for playing him is not supportive of the news. George Takei, who shot to fame as Sulu in the '60s, told The Hollywood Reporter that the decision is a "twisting of (creator) Gene (Roddenberry's) creation, to which he put in so much thought." Takei added that Roddenberry had envisioned Sulu as heterosexual, making this new character development "really unfortunate."

  You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention.
  But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.
