Stop asking the fascists for a reaction to the use of free speech please

The money tracker on the #Emmys is one of the worst, meanest, most unnecessary bits I’ve ever seen and it makes me want to die

I truly do not know. I almost thought he was joking at first but I don’t think Law Roach jokes.

Also the elimination cliffhanger is not it. Completely takes the wind out of the sails.

I looooooove Project Runway unconventional materials challenges and I have been loving s21 but there should never just be one judge and it should never be the one judge who is new and has never judged a soccer ball dress before

Saw Superman a second time and when it ended I was immediately ready to watch again. Gonna need James Gunn to hurry up with more movies so it’s not just one on repeat forever

How do I get the job of coming up with the twists on Love Island? This season is above and beyond

I can’t be sure because I’m still listening but Mike Schur on Amy Poehler’s podcast might be life changing

Let’s just slowly walk everything back. HBO Max, Twitter, “pivot to video.” “AI? Isn’t that the name of a movie?” Bring back SmarterChild and MySpace. Change the Guardians ride back to Tower of Terror. Donald Tr*mp? That guy hosts The Apprentice, which has the highest ratings in the world.

Why did I tear up a little when they got Kathy up? This is incredible

Who are all these people only watching FBI and not the other two?

Ok dang it they have my attention

The Lonely Island Seth Meyers Podcast might genuinely be the best podcast of all time and might genuinely be my biggest source of joy at this moment.

cool creative writer job...for a company called UniteWhite, which is exactly the kind of organization you think it is. (I did report this listing as offensive to Linkedin)

Oh my god give it to me

Doctor Odyssey had to amputate one guy's foot due to a shark attack and now they're using it to save another guy who was attacked by a different shark but yet another shark attacked the ship and now there's a fire in the engine room and the ship is surrounded by orcas!

Both The Pitt and Doctor Odyssey are about hot doctors (both played by beloved 90s/2000s stars) dealing with pandemic PTSD but they're dealing with it in such wildly different ways that basically the 2 shows equal a fully balanced TV meal. I hope they both run for many years.

Ok but also the way he talked Ciara through that challenge with the bugs? Sometimes he deserves to be attractive just a little bit.

The world is already bad enough and here CBS goes, cancelling FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted. Just let me have my little procedurals as democracy falls. 😭

My review hasn’t gone up yet but Suits LA’s pilot is so bad that it’s sort of thrilling. It’s nice to have a shitty, incompetent thing that doesn’t also feel like someone is going to die because of it.

I love to bluesky about sports

I never want to see another shot of Patrick Mahomes with that Invisalign mouth guard thing hanging out of his mouth

I love a well written Super Bowl where there’s a clear villain team and a clear hero team and a bunch of very hot people and random shots of Kevin Costner hanging out with Pete Davidson

Imagine being the guy on The Pitt whose main character trait is that he gets covered in gross stuff every episode. Like did he audition for that? Did they spray him with fake bodily fluids in his screen test?

Many things are bad but not this! This is good!

Few things are more humbling than trying and failing to order coffee at the Paris airport after 3 years of high school French and 2 years of Duolingo French. (My chai latte is delicious but il n’est pas un café)

Lmk when we figure out what app is next

I don’t think I minded being spied on by the Chinese. Better than being spied on by Zuck or Elon. RIP the best/worst app ever invented.

I love to make fun of Bones because it’s called Bones but actually Bones was very good and so far it hasn’t even aged that badly

Has anyone ever tried counting how many times they say “bones” on Bones? (I’m rewatching Bones)
