There’s elements of #Paradise I really enjoy, and others that I find cheesy. At times it feels like it’s doing a Lost or The Walking Dead impression, but I also appreciate some of the choices it makes to differentiate itself from those other shows. Idk very odd, but fun second season so far. #TVSky

“Menstruation is a beautiful thing” - Cam Sullivan-Brown #internationalwomensday #bbsky
Last night’s UFC 326 was the first card in years I watched from start to finish, and it really hammered home to me how far the product has fallen. The UFC has long been in wealth-extraction mode, but those chickens are now so obviously coming home to roost with how it presents to the consumer.
Among a variety of other problems, it’s hard to overstate the level of disrepair the UFC product has fallen into. UFC is enshittifying right in front of us and I genuinely think there’s no coming back from this.
I teamed up with the good folks at @moreperfectunion.bsky.social to tell the story of UFC’s monopoly and their attempted boxing takeover. Please share far and wide.

#ThePitt has really seemed to have found its groove in this second season. Ever since about episode five or six, every week has delivered. The characters are continuing to evolve, as well as their dynamics. I just love this show man, one of the best things going on TV right now.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
The amount of hatred in the world and the way the powers at be continue to ruin society, has been hard to deal with lately. Been weighing on me mentally a lot this week. Constantly just feel hopeless.
The race-baiting that is posted over on Twitter on a daily basis across the board, is truly sad to see. It’s not surprising given what that platform has turned into. But to consistently see how much people hate one another, especially during these times, is very depressing.
I definitely agree with you, specifically some of the bigger podcasts for sure. Which genuinely does get under my skin a little bit to be honest. But judging by the reactions to last night, it just makes me realize that again maybe my perspective is the issue idk. #Survivor50
Whether from podcasts or on here, I’ve seen nothing but praise for last night’s premiere and saying it was amazing. So maybe I was wrong about Jeff ruining the show idk clearly the majority doesn’t feel similarly and I might be the problem. Sometimes you got to eat crow. #Survivor50 #Survivor
Like I’m genuinely happy people are having a good time, but seeing fans say they were crying tonight or listening to prominent podcasts or voices within the space, sort of give Jeff any credit for the current state of the show really gets to me. I feel so isolated in that way. #Survivor50
I don’t blame you at all, the last straw for me was the 50 cast reveal and Jeff continuously gaslighting to justify how awful he is as a showrunner. I chose to not watch 49 and 50 because of it. I just get depressed feeling like no else seems to care and just pretends like it’s all good. #Survivor50
Honestly I completely relate to how you feel and it’s why I really appreciate your takes, because it feels you’re one of the only ones who is real about that. That reason you mentioned too is just why sadly I can’t watch the show anymore. It truly bums me out, but I despise Jeff so much. #Survivor50
It feels like a lot of people are viewing the season through rose colored glasses, which I get. It’s just annoying because I’m so tired of Jeff being given the benefit of the doubt over and over again, when it’s so clear he’s the problem. But hey if you’re having fun, that’s awesome. #Survivor50
#Survivor50 #Survivor
Jeff is such a cancer to the show, it’s just sad so many people enable him and kiss his ass. Such a narcissistic, gaslighting, doofus. #Survivor50 #Survivor
And this was the guy production felt we just had to see play again for the fifth time, over the likes of Davie, Jesse, Malcolm, Rob Cesternino, Sean Rector, etc…
#Survivor50 #Survivor
The men on the other hand, I just couldn’t care less about a majority of them. They botched the casting on that end so hard. There’s individuals I like, but collectively it’s such an underwhelming group. Especially given who they were picked over. #Survivor50 #Survivor
I won’t be watching #Survivor50, but I am rooting for most of the women to do well. Mainly Angelina, Cirie, Chrissy, Emily, Genevieve, and Kamilla.
As for the rest, I don’t care how they do, as most of them shouldn’t even be on the season. Specifically the two winners and Aubry. #Survivor
There’s a part of me that hopes the season is a success, because I want all the players involved, fans watching, and covering the show to have a good time. But there’s also a part of me that hopes it fails miserably, so people will stop enabling Jeff’s shitty decision making. #Survivor50 #Survivor
I’m definitely bummed to be missing out on #Survivor50, it truly does kind of suck. But with how badly they butchered and botched the cast, plus the inclusion of things like Mr. Beast amongst other celebrities on the season, I just can’t support what Jeff continues to do to the show. #Survivor
The supporting cast deserves much love too. Bertie Carvel, Daniel Ings, Henry Ashton, Finn Bennett, Sam Spruell, and Shaun Thomas, amongst many others, were the true backbone of the show. I cared about each of their characters. Which is a major testament to the collective performances. #AKOTSK
Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell each gave breakout performances, both deserve Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. They embodied these two characters in a way I’m not sure anyone else could have. Their chemistry is the heart and soul of the entire show. It doesn’t work without them. #AKOTSK
This show nailed its tone perfectly, and unlike its predecessor in House of the Dragon, executed a clear road map to where it wanted to go. It told a condensed story, filled with high stakes, a ton of heart, tragedy, and levity, that managed to enhance the expansive universe it’s set in. #AKOTSK
I have no idea what the hype meter for it was or if it transcended into the cultural zeitgeist, but A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is without question an early front runner for show of the year. Dunk and Egg are one of the most endearing and lovable duos we’ve seen on TV in years. #AKOTSK
The director of our generation, argue with a wall if you disagree. Couldn’t be happier for him and the entire team that worked on the film. Ryan Coogler is one of the best to ever do it.
Really glad to hear you enjoyed it and his performance! He’s a star in the making in my opinion, such a talent.
Isa Briones deserves a ton of credit for the way she’s brought the character to life and displaying the wide array of traits that make Santos so intriguing as a character. Her evolution as a doctor and person, has easily been one of the best storylines of season two. #ThePitt
Santos continues to be my favorite character in #ThePitt and one of the more riveting characters currently on any series. The complexities and layers to her are fascinating to watch. From her singing to the baby in Tagalog to us getting a glimpse of her self inflicted scars, what an episode for her.
