and then it is wise to have a little follow-up prepared for when the person complains some more, where you look deeply into Timmy's eyes and you say "I too have unkind opinions that I am keeping to myself. I am doing it right now. You see? Do you understand now?"

by the time you are 30, it is wise to have a little speech prepared to say "you may have been being honest, and you may have represented the truth as you see it, but that does not mean that what you said was kind or necessary."

misinformation. it's THIRTEEN words and they are "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

all the parts are sad! I was thinking about that time Vyvyan Holland was like, yeah, everyone said my mother had no sense of humor, "but then again, she had little to laugh about." it's just! God! SO SAD.

hahaha yeah, the problem is that I literally can't think about Oscar Wilde for more than five seconds without becoming unbearably sad

Bridgerton’s Frothy Love Story Finally Grows Up in a Layered Fourth Season Finale - Reactor The world of Bridgerton is expanding, resulting in its best season yet.

"It’s ironic, perhaps, that Bridgerton’s most fantastical romance yetβ€”a nobleman in love with a maid!β€”should turn out to be its most grounded and realistic love story."

Lacy Baugher Milas reviews Bridgerton's season 4 finale!

I KNOW. every sentence it's like... what are you TALKING about? ahahaha I love it.

it's such a weird needle to thread and I think about it a lot. I have a post-it note next to my desk that says STAY IN THE TEXT. it is beyond my scope of expertise what the authors intended (unless I can link to where they said it explicitly) or why the readers crave this type of content.

right! this! yes! because I think there's been a backlash to the idea of having an aesthetic opinion, but you're still okay to have a moral opinion.

Lowkey I think part of the problem with book criticism now is that the market rewards universal positivity or harsh takedowns but not, like, developing a critical ethos and maintaining consistent aesthetic standards.

How the Religious Right Won the Trump Era Media failed to reckon with the evangelical support for Trump and we’re all paying the price.

Hey, it's Flytrap Tuesday! This week, worker-owner @thebugbeardispatch.bsky.social writes about how the media ignored evangelical support of Donald Trump--and now, we are all paying the price.

right? like in my adulthood I have come around to, I think, a more nuanced view of the relationship between those two guys... and yet. I have a physical rage reaction to seeing Jude Law's face.

(except for he's very sweet in The Holiday)

and Oscar Wilde lowered his voice and said, of course it's a vicious slander, but what they are SAYING is... that The Importance of Being Earnest is better acted than An Ideal Husband.

and then he alighted out of the cab and went about his way
