“Together” was good but unfortunately I won’t be able to listen to the Spice Girls “2 Become 1” again without making this face

YouTube video by Still Watching Netflix Soulidified Performs “U Remind Me” | Building the Band | Netflix

Tell me why my millennial ass is obsessed with this random Netflix boy band covering Usher’s U Remind Me 😅

(because I’m old enough to remember the song coming out + N’Sync was my first real concert 🫠)

I just picked up your book from the library today—you are no fraud!

Like, look at the material— she is objectively stunning 😮‍💨

Nic in a cowboy hat licks Olandria’s foot during the heart rate challenge without breaking eye contact—they’re not even a couple at this point 😭

Right?? Meanwhile, her guy that people are saying is “faking” liking her is out here doing this

'Love Island' revives conversation about racial bias in dating Fans and contestants say their concerns about Black women's representation on the show reflect a real-world biases against Black women.

USA S7! It was super frustrating for the most part, but it was all worth it to watch a literal rom-com with her and another contestant unfold. This is a good breakdown—the last bit “Desirability concerns reflect real-world anti-Black sentiments” felt quite relevant to the class discussion

Olandria from Love Island looking like a literal Barbie in a black (Megan Thee Stallion) swimsuit 🔥

Not sure if Prof @karenattiah.bsky.social is a Love Island fan, but seeing the trolls saying Olandria’s ugly/Nic can’t be attracted to her, etc. got me thinking about last week’s class. The media machine really is built on racism bc what in the white gaze hell are you ppl talking about? This woman?!

Connor… #BeyondtheVilla

🚨 Seema stans 🚨 our girl got serenaded in an eye patch this week, we are so up.

Tamra saying Shannon isn’t showing any growth or bringing anything new…girl. the projection is off the charts. Pot, kettle, etc. #RHOC

Who’s gonna tell them that the makers of this “hyperpower” stole images from humans without consent or compensation in order for it to create anything? The AI hype is such a transparent and preventable racket, jfc

Most of us can remember a time when watching reality TV was still fun. But something has changed, and not for the better. Maybe we were never meant to be able to directly reach Rob, 27, snake wrangler from Alabama, with the tap of a finger, after getting mad at something he did on our television screens. Maybe, at the end of each episode, we were always supposed to turn off the TV and get back to reality.

This Jenny G. Zhang article in Slate about the ugliness surrounding the Cierra issue is worth a read: slate.com/culture/2025...

The final paragraph is a banger and encompasses how I feel about the current state of reality tv fandom

she’s probably writing snarky think pieces on her Substack. Im just going to say it, Mitchum Huntzberger was right hahaa

Obsessed with Julian Fellowes and his writers room clunkily wedging in random historical characters to develop his insane cartoon world. I love it, never change #TheGildedAge

Sargent’s Fumée d'ambre gris (Smoke of Ambergris)

Sargent’s Dr. Pozzi at Home

If the Gilded Age peaked your interest in Sargent then you saw *that* painting unveiled, go see “Sargent and Paris” at the MET if you have the opportunity! These are a few of my stand-outs (tell me the man in red isn’t time-travelling Aaron Taylor Johnson)

THIS. it’s so bad 💀

This portrait lacks his signature impressionistic softness, his way of capturing light. I wonder if they did any research for this storyline besides “famous American artist who painted portraits in the Gilded Age”

“I hate it here” part 268 ☹️

💔

This song unlocks a random core memory from high school. Instead of teaching a class, our law teacher put on “Small Sacrifices”—a 1989 movie where Farrah Fawcett played murderer Diane Downs. The prosecutor played “Hungry Like The Wolf” in court to unmask her sociopathic tendencies lol

I think that’s the natural next step

I wonder if Rory Gilmore feels vindicated seeing how openly shitty the NYT has become

Pepe just wants to be in a throuple with TJ and Iris, let’s be real #LoveIslandUSA

Olandria standing behind Austin is making me ill #LoveIslandUSA

Amaya calling Zak an extremely odd individual 💀 Her mind. #LoveIslandUSA

Pure. Important.

Larsa’s scripted FaceTime conversation with her “friend” about Jody “going crazy” was deeply unserious. #RHOM

(She also needs to stop wearing those ill-fitting spaghetti strap onesies in different colours)

Why are there still 800 of them in this damn villa? #LoveIslandUSA
