Begging someone out there to write an actual good teen drama. The kids today don’t know how good it used to be.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

BREAKING: A court overturned Ohio's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth.

This is a critical victory for trans rights.

Congress: Save Medicaid Now Politicians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.

URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid β€” eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more.

Tell your representative now: Don't cut Medicaid.

I love The Pitt, but in season 2 I better see some really dumb people come through the ER. I want the idiots who did something stupid and/or embarrassing.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t the billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts, but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

The arts takeover might seem like small potatoes compared to much of what this admin is up to, but it's all part of narrowing whose voices are centered, whose ideas are lifted up, and whose stories are told. This is a national tragedy in its own right.

Shout-out to Ron, who was so upset I spoiled the series finale of Buffy 22 years later that he wrote an email to complain. Hope he finished Veronica Mars already…

What a potential "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" sequel can learn from the failed "Veronica Mars" revival If the Slayer is destined to return, the franchise should heed the mistakes of another WB resurrection

I actually rewatched it for the first time in 20+ years after watching the sequel, and it’s honestly pretty basic. At least the sequel has sharks.

ICYMI: Paramount+’s Joe Pickett Is the Western You Should Be WatchingΒ Amid the Genre's Resurgence Based on novels by C.J. Box, Paramount+'s Joe Pickett is the best Western to come out of the Western resurgence led by Yellowstone.
