HE DOESN'T LOOK A THING LIKE JEEEESUS BUT HE. TALKS LIKE A GENTLEMAN 🗣️ i haven't heard that song since college & i'm having flashbacks

well. yes. but those people were being mean to HER. that's the difference, hope that helps ❤️

the new taylor swift album was beyond horrendous. just absolutely terrible. anyone who says otherwise is lying to you because i swear to god i was embarrassed just listening to it

everything anymore is so tightly controlled and market-tested and enshittified and seen as launching points for your influencer career or whatever. where can a teenager go to sell human bones on etsy or threaten to carpet bomb northern ohio over a superwholock ship war these days? nowhere.

man sometimes i really do mourn how fun the internet used to be. i get sad that kids nowadays don't really have any equivalent of like, livejournal or 2010s tumblr. they don't have a space where they can just be weird and creative and stupid and anonymous

out of all the things in god's kingdom we could ban on our stupid little app we choose... furries? what the fuck did the furries do. they usually just kind of chill out and... do whatever furries do. politely and with an excess of spending money for art commissions

oh shit wait bluesky banned furries? that's... a bold choice

there was a point in time where "did you google it" was seen as condescending because the assumption was you already *did* try to look it up before asking. younger gens have adopted the boomer mentality of not knowing how to use something as basic as a search engine and it's absolutely infuriating

And fwiw, they did talk all the way back then about how in order to meet the studio deadlines, they'd have to fast-track into production, so they likely had to blast through the writing and didn't get a ton of time with it. Whether it would've been better with time and more tweaking, though? Ehhhhh

They did, actually! I double checked into it, there's news stories and statements from the studio / crew from 2023 talking about the strike. It definitely affected the season, too, there's interviews of Myers and Goldsman both talking about potential strike effects back in '23.

wait, are their writers not union? because WGA was on strike too in 2023, i assumed that was what they were referencing

yeah, i watched lost on streaming after having watched it as a teenager live and it REALLY benefits from the streaming format where you can just watch it straight through instead of having to remember the details for a week

every time they ask i have to be like before you give me the look, it's the capitol of sichuan province, it's real, i swear 😭

i think The Youths think lost was like. ncis or something. like it was a schlock network tv drama. never realizing that like a good majority of the prestige tv of today owes a massive debt to lost

feels like we were all so betrayed by the ending of lost that we have allowed the children to forget that lost was good

i just fine severance hollow in comparison to some of the things it draws from, and it makes me crazy how everyone acts like it's doing something brand new that no one has ever done before when like. it's a mystery box. it's just a mystery box. did we all forgot lost was real

it's like. it's very pretty, sometimes. and in the grand scheme of things it's FINE. but it's not nearly as good as everyone says, and it's really not doing anything half as ~revolutionary as people say considering it's built heavily on the backs of (imo better) programs like westworld or legion

can i be very brave and say that severance is wildly overrated or will i be sent to the gulag

Artwork by @pigsbliss on twitter its a very unusual art piece of FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully from the tv show the X files xfiles it features both agents standing at someone's doorway she is holding her fbi badge and he has his hands in his pockets their eyes are unusually placed its amazing art

i keep forgetting that the mayfair witches show is real until i find out that they got yet another season

the thing that always gets me is like… i don’t really honestly think they’d lose much? the section of the fandom that’s hardcore against kirk and spock seems fairly small and the majority seems like, mostly ambivalent to accepting of the idea. i honestly think canon spirk would go over fine lmao

Louisiana is in its worst whooping cough outbreak in 35 years. 368 cases this year, including 2 infants who have died. Since last fall, 63 have been hospitalized, 65% infants. Most hospitalized were not up to date on vaccines.

As a colleague mentioned yesterday, Gamergate is one of the five most significant developments in US politics since the Cold War

i think a good part of it is that the Brand as a whole doesn’t want to canonize spirk, but they love doing the cutesy wink and nods like the carving in the table in lower decks, the continued nudges in snw, and it’s very like… trying to have their cake and eat it too

If we add the novels, too, then Commander Ael from Diane Duane’s Rihannsu novels, which remains one of my favorite Star Trek tie-in medias of all time

welcome to deep space nine we've got vr porn and the most tortured irish person in history

the skincare routines kill me... what kind of jobless person has time to be doing all of that every day. are you getting up at 4:30 in the morning just to take off all your various random shit you don't need from last night and then using 454534 $90 moisturizers?? cannot fathom

like. ain't no way those are an airtight scene so that's just a waste of honey. the minute i sat that down on my counter, there would be so many ants they'd need to put their name on the lease
