10 things to watch while social distancing that aren’t comforting at all

There are comfort-watches aplenty to wrap around yourself like a Slanket in this time of social distancing. Throw on your favourite SchurVerse sitcom for an entire weekend, keep it wholesome with every PG rom com you can find, or finally watch The Good Wife or The West Wing, which technically counts as a fantasy series these days.

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.    Read more...
