a close up of a woman 's face with her eyes closed and a slight smile on her face Alt: Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers in Supergirl, smirking

As a long time Supergirl fan, it’s been a bit of a mindfuck as Beloved’s rewatch of Grey’s Anatomy has gotten up to where Lexi appears.

It’s Baby Alex Danvers!

I could not think of a better name or descriptor for Valentines Day than Pink Halloween

Great halls and foyer!

Artwork for DAVID LYNCH: A COMPLETE RETROSPECTIVE at the Music Box

Rest In Peace, David Lynch🌹

Hihi 👋🏻

Annoyed at this, not because I give a fuck about American influencers, but because Trump will bring TikTok back and be everyone’s hero, even though he kicked it off in the first place

I’m trying to train myself to be better about this. 😬

Please take this to heart. I want to be chatting with you but if you’re constantly reposting outrage bait into my feed I will unfollow. I don’t have the capacity to be constantly anxious and freaked out about something I can’t change. I have my own shit to deal with.

"It's a new dawn" he says, referencing terms that were last popular in the 90s.

Our parents ruined social media

282: Brain-Washing Machine Plus, a sea of photovoltaic possibility, good news for the environment in America (seriously), global prices back to normal, 'emergent' collective memory for ants, and some Herculaneum scroll action.

Scroll past all the good news to read the article at the end on sludge:

The challenge is learning to see our information ecosystem for what it has become — a vast apparatus fine-tuned to amplify our darkest impulses — and then having the wisdom to step away from it.

My name is Kiah. I’m a nurse. 😜

Well yours is away more interesting than mine. 😅

People asked Meryl Streep how she could REALLY not have known about Weinstein, and she was basically like “because I’m fucking Meryl Streep, and I didn’t know because he NEEDED me not to know.” she was vital as part of the cover story

Something that is very true of charismatic abusers is that they don't just charm the people they are abusing. They work hard to make sure that the community around them considers them to be of impeccable character it makes it harder for things to come out and harder for those things to be belidved

Yeah. The nature of very talented abusers is that they curate a huge carapace around them of influential and respectable people to whom they are always charming, affable, thoughtful and sincere. Grooming is a thing that happens to everyone in their orbit, not just the victims.

“Calliope” almost seems confessional/autobiographical, in hindsight. 😕

Death of James Cook - Wikipedia

Hah Australians see the name James Cook and think about the coloniser who got ripped to shreds on Valentine’s Day.

This is nicer that what I woke up thinking - the ASL haters are not just Nazis, but they are the dumbest motherfuckers alive. You have to have literal holes in your brain to think sign language is just ‘gesticulating’.

Man...

Hope his victims get justice. Hope his fans find peace. Hope he never gets another untroubled night. Hope he hesitates to walk the streets. Hope his kids aren't fucked up for life. Hope Palmer has a serious long night of the soul over her complicity.

I've consumed art by plenty of horrible people, but they tend to be dead for the most part, or at least had some self-awareness. No sheep's clothing in evidence. But now Gaiman's entire career just looks like a long con to me. Deep cover.

My brain keeps scrambling for some kind of tell - like “he enjoyed writing women suffering too much” or “being so outspoken about feminism was a giveaway”.

But I guess that’s the whole point, isn’t it? There’s no way of telling who’s an abusive creep behind closed doors.

They’re banning TikTok not because it harvests data, the same way US social media does, but because they can’t influence it’s algorithm with congressional hearings or government contracts the way they do every other tech giant. That’s it.

I was wondering if this would arc up again. Realistically, the best case scenario is Gaiman never sticks his head above the parapet again, and while "retired in monied comfort" doesn't sound like much of a punishment, no longer being the dark prince of cosy fantasy will be a wound that never heals.

I can't even begin to get my head around this. It's not that I expect more of famous people, because I don't. I just expect more of people. Full stop, period, end of story.

And yeah, ok, I probably shouldn't. But JFC.
