![]() Around the corner for the rest of the summer is the Futurama revival, and our latest update added the newly announced premiere date for Ahsoka on Disney Plus. June sees premieres for the new season of the best modern Star Trek show, Marvel’s Secret Invasion, the final Henry Cavill Witcher season, and more. While there’s almost certainly no way to get to all of it, we can absolutely start thinking about how to prioritize the things we want to make time for this year. There’s a lot of premiere dates that haven’t been announced yet, so you’ll see some stuff broken up by when you can expect it, with a healthy dose of unscheduled - but expected - premieres as well. This list is a stab at that: some of the biggest, best, most noteworthy, or just generally most exciting new releases in the world of TV coming in the next calendar year. ![]() ![]() ![]() While no one can simply give us all “more time” just willy-nilly, there are certainly ways to make 2023 the year you’re (mostly) on top of new releases. There’s a seemingly never-ending pile of new shows, returning shows, and (god help us) shows we keep meaning to catch up on, in addition to all the best movies, games, anime, and books of last year. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Here are the topics that I have written about so far: Lets not make the same mistake in the opposite direction. “Kissing dating goodbye” appears to be reactionary and going to one extreme. Temporarily “kissing dating goodbye” which could also be called postponing dating might be appropriate especially for younger teenagers. My blog pages elaborate on this and asks if “kissing dating goodbye” is appropriate for all ages. Note: Much of my criticism of the “kissing dating goodbye” approach is from the perspective of a single person in his 20’s and 30’s who was involved in churches where this approach was the norm. If nothing else I hope to encourage people to think about the concept and decide for themselves what is most important for them in their situation. This is my attempt to share some of my thoughts on “kissing dating goodbye” and “courtship” practices. ![]() ![]() ![]() Other pieces include in Bohemia with Du Maurier, Social Pictorial Satire by George Du Maurier, Du Maurier and London Society, etc. Includes material on Du Maurier other than the serial runs of his books, including biographical pieces (see our pictures) from other periodicals, such as McClure's magazine.
