Fox News highlighted the dramatic disparity in the number of interviews, press conferences, and general media availability of the Republican presidential ticket versus the Democratic presidential ticket — and the results were not even close. The outlet shared data published on Thursday morning by Axios under the headline “The Harris-Walz media strategy: Hide from the press.” Counting the total number of interviews and press interactions allowed thus far by Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) — and weighing those against the time remaining until Election Day on November 5 — Axios reported, “The Harris-Walz ticket is on pace to do fewer interviews and press conferences than any major party’s presidential pairing in modern U.S. history.” Spot the difference pic.twitter.com/gpMYVSvbh7 — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) September 19, 2024 According to the Axios report — which only covered media access since President Joe Biden exited the presidential race on July 21 — Harris has only done one local interview and Walz has done three. In comparison, former President Donald Trump has done seven and his running mate, Senator JD Vance (R-OH), has done 15. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! The Democratic ticket did not fare much better when it came to other media formats, either. Harris, for example, has done just one interview for a print publication and one national television interview — a pre-recorded interview with CNN’s Dana Bash — and despite calls for her to hold an official press conference, her tally remains at zero. Walz sat in on the CNN interview with Harris, but has done no press conferences and no print interviews whether alone or alongside Harris. On the flip side, Trump has done one print interview, two national television interviews, and three formal press conferences — more than Harris and Walz combined. Vance bested even Trump with eight print interviews, 24 national television appearances, and 12 press conferences.

The U.S. Air Force pursued a “goal” to reduce the “white male population” in its Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) officer’s applicant program, according to documents obtained by The Daily Caller. The Caller reported on Thursday that in 2022, the Air Force created a slideshow focused on gender and racial quotas, which detailed how it hoped to “achieve” a “goal” of having fewer white men in its ROTC officer’s applicant program. The Caller reported on the documents after the Center To Advance Security In America (CASA) sued the Air Force earlier this year to obtain them. The Air Force previously responded to a 2023 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request claiming it could not find any records related to CASA’s ask. In 2022, the U.S. Department of the Air Force also issued a memorandum, stating, “Diversity and inclusion are an essential part of our society and key to the success of any organization.” One of the slides the Air Force put together is titled “AFROTC White” and shows a chart of the white population in the ROTC officer’s applicant program declining to under 50% by fiscal year 2029, which is marked as the “achieved goal.” “White male population will decline as other demographics increase,” the slide states. Another slide is labeled “Racial milestones” and shows how the Air Force is progressing in its race- and gender-based quotas. For African Americans, the Air Force slideshow says it will “target [the] male population through ongoing programs and marketing.” In the slideshow, the Air Force says it had already met its “female goal” for ROTC officer applicants, according to the Caller. The Air Force documents also show that the military branch requested $500,000 to be put toward “diversity advertising campaigns.” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! The racial goals include the Air Force’s Aim High Flight Academy (AHFA), according to the documents. The AHFA is an aviation scholarship program for students in high school, ROTC, and the Air Force Academy. The Air Force pushed to ensure that at least 35% of the AHFA applicant pool was made up of minorities. The Air Force’s racial quotas are similar to plans workshopped by Federal Aviation Administration officials in 2022. Daily Wire host Matt Walsh revealed footage earlier this year showing FAA brass complaining about a “white-male dominated” industry. Deputy Chief Operating Officer Angela McCullough argued in the footage that the FAA needs to “get a little uncomfortable” and “talk about what the future could look like.”

And if you’re here, then you probably also know that Nala has her own brand of cat food. Love, Nala is a natural cat food and supplement company started by the loving owners who brought Nala to the world’s stage.

Not only did this gray tabby bring her Instagram fame, but she’s the reason Pookie met her life and business partner, Shannon Ellis. Together, the two cat lovers started Love, Nala as a way to honor the cat that has enriched their lives so much. Today, Love, Nala offers cat owners everywhere a nutritious, natural option for air-dried kibble, wet food, treats, and more. Where is Love, Nala Cat Food Produced? Love, Nala dry foods and many of their other products are made in Visalia, California. Their canned food is made in a human-grade processing facility in Thailand. Most of their ingredients are sourced in the US and those that come from abroad must meet strict quality standards. Which Types of Cats Is Love, Nala Cat Food Best Suited For? With so many recipe options, there is bound to be something from this company for just about every cat. Their dry food is complete and balanced for all life stages, making it a great option for kittens, adults, and seniors alike. The air-dried processing makes this food highly nutritious while also maintaining a natural flavor most cats love. The canned food options from Love, Nala include a long list of recipes. Each is made primarily of quality animal ingredients and contains a high moisture content to help support kidney and bladder health. These are all highly palatable and perfect for picky eaters. Love, Nala also has many supplements to help with common kitty issues and yummy mousse treats to reward good kitties. Key Features Check Latest Price Here is a quick overview of what sets Love, Nala products apart from other cat food companies. We’ll look at the ingredients, macronutrient ratios, the different recipe options, and where to order this food. Ingredients Each can and bag of Love, Nala cat food is created using meat-first recipes. For many of the flavor options, the first two ingredients are quality animal products. For instance, the Tuna with Spinach canned food lists tuna and chicken as the first two ingredients. Following the top tier meat ingredients is typically a short list of whole food plant ingredients and additional animal ingredients. Eggs, tomatoes, spinach, sweet potato, and carrots are all ingredients you’re likely to find in these recipes. None of the recipes include grains or other common fillers. Each recipe also includes an extensive list of added nutrients, from taurine to folic acid. While these additions are necessary to make these recipes complete and balanced, the large amount of synthetic nutrients does indicate that the whole foods used are not nutrient-dense enough to support overall health all on their own. The dry food options contain more nutrient-dense cuts, such as chicken heart and liver, but still include a similar list of added nutrients. Macronutrient Breakdown All of the canned and wet food recipes are centered around high-protein meat ingredients. Given this, it’s no surprise that these foods are packed with the protein kitties need to thrive. On average, the canned foods contain about 50 to 70% protein. The dry food options are a little lower, as these recipes require more carbohydrates, but still come in at a respectable 47% protein on average. The fat content is on the lower end for the canned food recipes, with an average fat content of around 10%. The dry food is typically a little higher, around 20%. Protein and fat are both necessary ingredients to help cats grow and thrive. The high protein content of these foods makes them a great choice for kittens and adult cats, alike. Because the recipes are lower in fat and carbohydrates, they’re also a great choice for indoor cats who need a little help staying trim. Recipes There is no lack of variety at Love, Nala. Almost all of their offerings are available in multiple flavors and recipe types. For instance, their air-dried food comes in three flavors, Turkey & Chicken, Chicken, and Beef. You can even opt to get all three flavors in a single order, a great option for varying your cat’s nutrition intake and keeping them interested in their food. The canned food line offers even more variety. You can choose from pate or flaked texture. And from canned or packet packaging. Each option includes multiple flavor options as well, from Mackerel with Carrot & Pumpkin to Chicken with Sweet Potato & Tomato. Overall, there are dozens of options to choose from so you can find exactly what your cat likes or mix it up each month to keep them interested.   Ordering Options There is also no shortage of options when it comes to getting your Love, Nala food. The easiest way is to take advantage of the subscription option on the Lova, Nala website. Not only does this allow you to choose auto-delivery every 2 to 12 weeks, but it also saves you 20% on your order. And each subsequent order is 10% off. You can also find Love, Nala at a variety of other online retailers, including Chewy and Amazon. Many local pet food and supply stores across the country also carry Love, Nala products. Our Reviews of the Love, Nala Products We Received 1. Air Dried, Grain-Free Cat Food Check Latest Price Love, Nala originally started out with a traditional dry kibble offering. They have since replaced their kibble with only air-dried cat food. In my opinion, this was the right move. Air-dried foods are more nutritious since they don’t undergo heat processing, which deactivates enzymes and destroys many sensitive nutrients. Food that is air-dried retains nearly the same nutritional profile as dehydrated and freeze-dried foods. Compared to dry kibble, Love, Nala air-dried foods contain three times as much moisture. This is key since most house cats do not drink enough water to offset dry kibble diets. By feeding food with more moisture in it, you can help protect your cat’s kidneys and urinary tract from infection and disease. Love, Nala air-dried food is available in three flavors, all of which contain high amounts of protein and feature real meat ingredients at the top of the ingredient list. The food pieces are a bit larger than traditional kibble and can sometimes be stuck together. But adult cats and larger kittens should have no problem with this food. My cat was very taken by the smell (though it isn’t overly stinky) and was quick to pick this food out of his old kibble while I was transitioning him over to his new diet. Pros More nutritious than kibble High in protein Contains more moisture than kibble Very palatable Fairly affordable for air-dried food Cons Pieces are fairly large Contains many synthetic nutrients 2. Canned Food in Broth Check Latest Price Love, Nala canned food comes in two varieties, pate and flakes. Both options contain a lot of extra moisture in the form of broth or gravy. This is intentional to help ensure your cat gets enough liquid to keep those kidneys working properly. In addition to a higher moisture content than other canned foods, these diets also have a lot more protein than you’ll typically find. Wild cats’ diets consist of large amounts of protein and a decent amount of fat. These Love, Nala diets were made to imitate these natural diets while still taking into consideration the typical lifestyle of pet cats. This means that they contain high amounts of protein to help form lean muscle and support health but only moderate amounts of fat to better control weight. There are a number of recipes to choose from which makes it easy to find something every cat will enjoy. And since these recipes were created to please a very picky eater (looking at you, Nala) you can bet they will win even the most discerning of cats over. My cat is a huge fan of these wet foods. And I am happy to report that they smell a lot better than most canned cat foods I’ve tried. They have an odor, but it smells fresher than most and doesn’t linger. Pros Very high in protein Multiple recipe options Two texture options Enticing flavor and scent Whole-food ingredients Cons On the pricer end Long list of added nutrients 3. Cat Health Supplements Check Latest Price In addition to their food offerings, Love, Nala also has three different supplement options, Digestive, Skin & Coat, and Calming. Each of these products features a long list of active ingredients to tackle issues from the inside out. The Digestive supplement, for instance, contains four probiotic strains, an enzyme blend, and prebiotics. These supplements come in an easy-to-feed chew that is designed to be highly palatable. You won’t have to fight with your cat to get them to eat these supplements! The key to that palatability is in the enticing ingredients, like animal plasma, chicken, and chicken liver flavor. Each little triangular-prism-shaped chew is soft and just stinky enough to get your cat’s attention. Dosing is easy, too. Cats under 10 pounds get one chew while big cats get two. My cat looks forward to his Digestive and Skin & Coat chews every morning. I have already seen a difference in both his litter box habits and his glossy fur since starting them. Pros Easy to feed Soft and chewy Multiple active ingredients Quality inactive ingredients Easy to dose Cons Contain common allergens 4. Mousse Cat Treats Check Latest Price The treat offerings from Love, Nala aren’t your typical dry cat treats. Instead, they are highly palatable, mousse-textured squeeze tubes. Using this delivery method for tasty rewards has many benefits. For one, this mousse is high in moisture. As we talked about above, this is a good thing for house cats, since they have a high incidence of kidney disease. The texture is also very pleasing and enticing to many cats, especially those who aren’t interested in standard treats. These Mousse Cat Treats can be used as rewards during training, occasional treats, or as toppers to make their food more enticing. There are three recipes to choose from, Chicken, Tuna, and Tuna & Salmon. Each contains quality meat ingredients and added superfoods. For instance, the Tuna & Salmon contains collagen-packed fish skin and the Chicken has added prebiotics in the form of chicory root. My cat loves it when I add a squeeze of Mousse to his dry food and these treats have also come in handy during training. Pros Highly enticing Contain real meat Added superfoods Multiple uses Cons Can be messy Leftovers must be stored properly Our Experience With Love, Nala My cat, Makoa, is a big fan of food. In fact, he likes eating so much that he will occasionally eat things that aren’t food. His most recent foray into not-food was when he chowed down on my daughter’s rubber dinosaur. To help curb this strange habit, I’m always on the lookout for nutritious, high-protein cat diets that will help fill him up and satisfy his lust for food without adding to his weight. Given Love, Nala’s high protein and lower fat content, and many recipe options, I thought it might be a good choice for Makoa. I ordered their Turkey & Chicken Air-Dried food, Tuna with Spinach Recipe Pate, Chicken Flaked with Sweet Potato & Tomato Recipe, Digestive and Skin & Coat supplements, and a sampling of their Mousse treats. As soon as I started mixing the foods into Makoa’s meals, it was clear how he felt about them. He immediately began picking out the air-dried morsels from his typical dry food. And he is a huge fan of both canned food recipes. I like that neither the dry food nor canned food has an intense odor. I actually stopped feeding wet food for a long time because the smell would linger in the house for hours after mealtime. That has not been an issue at all with Love, Nala. The supplements have also been a big hit with Makoa. He happily eats them up before even starting on his food in the morning. This is a very good thing because we all know how hard it is to pill a cat! After just a couple of weeks on these supplements, I have already seen results. Despite his sensitive stomach, Makoa did not have any issues switching diets, which I attribute to the digestive supplement. His fur is also noticeably softer and glossier since starting the Skin & Coat chews. I was very hopeful that Makoa would be obsessed with the Mousse so I could use it to teach him a few tricks. While it doesn’t have Churu appeal, he does like it and the texture makes it easy to use in training. But mostly I have been adding it as a treat/supplement to his meals. I am a big fan of the protein content of these foods and the whole-food ingredients used in the recipes. And I love that they use air-dried food as it has so many benefits for cats. There is a lot to like about the offerings from Love, Nala. They have a huge variety of recipe options and obviously put care into selecting their major ingredients. But I think there is still something to be desired here. The long list of added nutrients would indicate that the whole foods used aren’t providing enough nutrition to meet minimal values. This is not at all uncommon in the pet food industry. But it also isn’t optimal since synthetic vitamins and minerals are not nearly as well absorbed as naturally occurring nutrients. I also found the price of the canned food to be a bit high compared to the competition. The other offerings are more in line with Love, Nala’s goal of providing affordable healthy food. The air-dried food is very reasonably priced for what it is, as are the supplements. Overall, though, I have been very impressed with this company. My cat definitely loves eating all of these products, including the supplements. I have noticed an increase in his energy and improvement in his body condition since starting him on Love, Nala. Check Latest Price Conclusion If you’re searching for better cat food with more variety, I definitely recommend checking out what Love, Nala has to offer. This company has created a long list of recipes in air-dried and wet food forms to help keep cats healthier by providing more moisture and nutrients in every bite. These recipes are specially designed to appeal to even the pickiest of eaters. And they’re very high in protein and packed with quality meat ingredients so you’ll love feeding them as much as your cat loves eating them. Love, Nala also carries easy-to-give supplement chews and fun mousse treats so you can spoil your cat while supporting their overall health.

Click to Skip Ahead About Messy Mutts Overview Key Features Is It A Good Value? FAQ Our Experience  Our Final Verdict We give the Messy Cats Interactive Slow Feeder a rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars. Quality: 4.9/5 Effectiveness: 4.8/5 Durability: 4.8/5 Value: 5/5 Check Price on Messy Mutts If you have a tubby tabby or a food-obsessed Felix, you’ve probably considered using a slow feeder. But finding an effective, quality slow feeder that works for cats can be tricky. I know, I’ve been searching for one for my hungry house cat for months. Thanks to Messy Mutts, I think I’ve finally found it. The Messy Cats Interactive Slow Feeder is the perfect size for cat-sized meals and is made for the short snouts of felines. It is dishwasher safe and works just as well for canned food as it does for kibble. Most importantly, it’s durable and made to slow feeding without causing frustration. Find out what I love about this product, how my cat feels about it, and more in my full Messy Mutts Messy Cats Interactive Slow Feeder review, below. About Messy Mutts Messy Mutts started with a simple vision: Create functional and fabulous-looking pet products that help reduce the mess while blending seamlessly into home decor. This vision grew from dog-centered grooming and feeding supplies to include an entire line of cat products. This “Messy Cats” line includes cat feeders, litter box accessories, and food prep products. Where Are Messy Mutt Products Produced? Messy Mutts, which is owned by Jascor Housewares Inc., is operated out of Toronto, Canada. Most of their products are made in China using food-safe silicone, BPA-free plastic, and stainless steel. Which Type of Cat Is the Messy Cat Interactive Slow Feeder Best Suited For? The Messy Cat Interactive Slow Feeder is a great choice for cats who tend to snarf down their food so fast that they think they’re still hungry after. The bowl’s unique design forces cats to eat slower without causing frustration or confusion. This isn’t a puzzle feeder that forces your cat to actively solve problems to get to their food. Rather, the high ridges prevent your cat from taking full bites, effectively prolonging the eating process. This helps cats avoid regurgitation and feel more satiated once they finish their meal. Overview Check Price on Messy Mutts Here is an overview of the Messy Cats Interactive Slow Feeder by Messy Mutts. We’ll look at the materials it’s made of, how it works, care instructions, and the technical specs. Materials The Messy Cat Interactive Slow Feeder bowl is made from food-safe silicone and BPA-free plastic. The central portion, which is dark gray, is made of plastic and features ridges of various heights. This material is chew-resistant and hard enough to hold its shape, making your cat work to get to their food. The light gray outer ring and base of this slow feeder bowl are made of silicone. This softer material around the feeder means there are no hard or sharp edges to worry about. Built into the bottom of this silicon shell are nine suction cups to help hold the feeder in place while it’s in use. How It Works This slow feeder bowl uses the same principles as most dog slow feeders. The raised ridges in the middle prevent cats from taking big bites of food. Instead, they must use their tongue and muzzle to move pieces until they can grab them, effectively slowing the eating process. Unlike dog slow feeders, which tend to have deep ridges and narrow gaps to force dogs to use their long tongues, this feeder features shallower, wider areas. Since cats have shorter, less dexterous tongues and short muzzles, this feeder works much better for them than those made for canines. This feeder can be used with both kibble, canned food, and raw food. Care Caring for this slow feeder bowl is easy. It’s dishwasher safe, which means you can pop it on the top rack whenever it gets dirty. The curved ridges don’t hold food like other puzzle feeders, making it easy enough to rinse off in between deeper cleanings. You will occasionally need to rinse the bottom suction cups, as well. This is especially true if you feed kibble that leaves behind dust and grease. The Messy Cats Interactive Slow Feeder is made to hold its shape and retain its color for years. Specifications This feeder is six inches in diameter, making it fairly small and compact. It can easily hold ¼ cup of dry food or about one 3-ounce can of wet food. It is only available in one color, cool gray. Like most other Messy Mutts products, this one comes with a one-year manufacturer warranty. Pros & Cons Pros Easy to use Dishwasher safe Small and compact Durable yet lightweight Works for all kinds of food Cons Suction cups don’t stick long Only one color available Limited holding capacity Key Features Check Price on Messy Mutts Built For Cats This slow feeder was made for the anatomical proportions of a cat. The ridges are relatively shallow and the areas between them are wider than most dog slow feeders. This allows cats to extract kibbles and tonguefuls of wet food without frustration while still significantly slowing their eating. The small size and gripping suction cups are also tailored to the needs of cats and their owners. Easy to Use and Care For This slow feeder is super easy to use, even for novice kitties and their owners. It’s not a puzzle feeder, which means your cat doesn’t have to struggle to get their food out. Rather, they can approach eating the same way they normally would, but it will take them much longer to get the bowl clean. As far as care goes, this slow feeder is super simple to maintain. It is easy to clean by hand thanks to the wide gaps and curved ridges. Or it can be tossed in the dishwasher for a thorough cleaning without the effort. Works with All Kinds of Food Whether you feed dry food, canned food, or something in between, this feeder is a great choice. It can hold up to ¼ cup of dry, freeze-dried, or air-dried food or a small can of wet. For the latter, simply use a rubber spatula to push the wet food into the crevices. You can also use this feeder with raw diets, just be sure to wash it between each use. Is the Messy Cats Interactive Slow Feeder a Good Value? Yes, at just $10, this slow feeder is a great value. Most comparable feeders cost much more than this. And those that cost less tend to be made only of silicone, which is not nearly as durable as the plastic-silicone combination used for this bowl. Check Price on Messy Mutts Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Is this bowl easy to keep clean? Yes. Unlike many slow feeders and puzzle feeders, there are no areas where kibble and wet food can get stuck in this feeder, making it easier to keep clean. It is super easy to rinse off and dishwasher safe. Is this bowl a good choice for my cat who eats silicone? The ridges and main bowl of this feeder are made of hard plastic while only the outer edge and bottom are made of silicone. My cat, who loves to eat silicone, has been using it without issue. However, I would recommend putting the bowl away between feedings. Do the suction cups work on all surfaces? You will need to use this bowl on a clean, smooth surface in order to engage the suction cups. It will work on smooth plastic or vinyl feeding mats but not the textured kind. It works best on granite, finished wood, and tile. Our Experience With the Messy Cats Interactive Slow Feeder I have been looking for a slow feeder for my hungry cat, Makoa, for ages. He is a big foodie and loves to gobble up his food as fast as possible and then claim that he’s still hungry. This is an extra problem since he also has pica, which means he likes to eat non-food items as well. Because of this, it’s even more important that he feel full after he eats. A slow feeder is the perfect solution for his issues because it prolongs the eating process (giving him a healthy activity to engage in) while helping him feel fuller once he has finished eating. The problem is, not only does Makoa eat silicone, which most cat slow feeders are made of, but he also can’t smell very well. I have tried a variety of specialty feeder options for him. The puzzle feeders don’t work because he can’t smell the food well enough to seek it out. And the silicone ones just end up becoming food themselves. Luckily, the Messy Cats Interactive Slow Feeder has the perfect combination of features to work for my special little guy. While this feeder does have some silicone on the sides, the food contact points are made of hard plastic that not even Makoa can chew. And unlike plastic feeder bowls made for dogs, the ridges on this one are shallow, which means even my nose-blind kitty can get all the kibbles out with relative ease. While this bowl doesn’t cause any frustration, it still does a great job of slowing him down. He used to finish a bowl of kibble in about three minutes. Now it takes him at least ten. And often, he’ll take breaks in between. This helps stretch meals out for up to an hour. Not only does this help entertain him, but it also seems to help him feel more satiated by the time he finishes. I’ve noticed a significant decrease in his food seeking behavior since he got this slow feeder. On my end, I love that this thing is dishwasher-safe and super easy to rinse off between washings. All the ridges are smooth, so there are no corners for food to get stuck in. There isn’t even a gap between the plastic and silicone edge, which means food can’t accumulate there, either. The size of this bowl is about perfect for the amount of food Makoa gets each meal. However, if he got any more, things would get messy fast. Even with just feeding ¼ cup of dry food for dinner, a few kibbles end up on the counter around the feeder. This doesn’t bother me too much since it only adds to the time it takes him to eat everything, but owners trying to keep a cleaner home might see this as a downside. But my biggest complaint about this dish has to do with the suction cups. These cups are super strong and do a great job of keeping the bowl in place during feeding. This is especially true if you’re using it on a hard, smooth surface like granite or tile. But this suction doesn’t last long on any surface. After about ten minutes, the suction cups release. This isn’t a huge deal since they also act as an effective anti-slip device. But for smart cats, it wouldn’t take much to lift the entire bowl up and dump the food out. For me personally, not having the suction cups stay engaged means I have to be careful to put this bowl away between feedings so Makoa doesn’t carry it off and use it as a chew toy. But overall, this slow feeder has been a big win for my household. I have been and will continue to use it for Makoa at every meal. He seems to enjoy the challenge of getting all the food out and I love that it gives him some quality enrichment while helping him feel fuller. Check Price on Messy Mutts Conclusion If your kitty needs some help slowing down at meal times, I highly recommend checking out the Messy Cats Interactive Slow Feeder from Messy Mutts. This slow feeder was designed specifically for cats to help them eat slower so they can feel fuller while getting some much-needed enrichment. The design is perfect for those short muzzles and makes cleaning the feeder a breeze. Plus, this slow feeder is durable, affordable, and dishwasher-safe.

News Black Mirror Black Mirror Season 7 Cast Includes Paul Giamatti, Peter Capaldi, & Many, Many More By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on September 19, 2024 Screenshot: Focus Features Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Focus Features Netflix has released a cryptic video on the site formerly known as Twitter that, if you’re able to pause fast enough, appears to include the cast for the upcoming seventh season of Black Mirror. The fifteen-second clip is of a 1994 computer filled with pseudo code. Some of what it contains are those involved in the production. Some of those names include Paul Giamatti (pictured above in The Holdovers), Peter Capaldi, Awkwafina, Cristin Milioti (not surprising since we knew the season included an installment set in the “USS Callister” pocket universe), Emma Corrin, and Issa Rae. There are many, many more names listed. Many of them appear to be actors, though some are likely writers and/or directors, such as Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker. Here’s the full list, if you’re interested: Alice Brittain Ally Pankiw Amber Grappy Ami Tredrea Amro Mahmoud Andy Apollo Annabel Jones Asheq Ashtar Ava Galinde Awkwafina Bekka Bowlinglor Ben Ashenden Ben Bailey Smith Bilal Hasna Billy Magnussen Bisha K.

I’m gonna give a long, slow clap here to Black Mirror’s marketing team for making us (me) painstakingly go through that video to catch everyone’s name. Season Seven of Black Mirror premieres on Netflix sometime in 2025. Check out the video below, if you want to watch for yourself.
