I actually skipped the pilot, I figured that might have led to the reviews – watched four episodes after it

I’m watching FX’s Adults and I really like it. It vaguely remember it getting kind of lukewarm reviews and I feel mis-steered! Great cast and appealingly smutty

COLOR THEORIES. Funniest play I’ve seen in a long time. Julio Torres is wonderful. His play is about the personality of colors and how they describe and influence us. That sounds pretentious, but the play is anything but. Every line gets a laugh. See it. Julio’s funniest work yet.

The fact they jumped straight to AI actors modeled after women when, if I’m not mistaken, male actors are a higher labor cost kind of says it all doesn’t it,

She apologizes, but we’re supposed to think her hometown guy is fantastic simply for being half-decent to the gay friend?? He also gets no romantic life of his own β€” he should have at least hooked up with Nathan Lee Graham

So bad. The opposite of romantic. & kind of a stealth advertisement for abandoning your family & moving to NY?

I am not wild about the new Taylor Swift album, but I loved the last two of her albums and I will probably like the next three

That was a joke, it was about Adrian being Adrian (i.e. oddly abstract). Loved that scene between the two of them

It is a serious question! I just read (maybe misread) your description as a harsh critique of the plot twistβ€” I thought it led somewhere that *was* surprising, not glib

I don’t agree at all, I thought it was a great reveal & and I’ve been enjoying the show a lot! I’m also an idiot like Chris who didn’t see it coming

This is exactly where I fell… and I wasn’t sure what it meant! We didn’t stay there long enough to get the details & Chris himself was too clueless initially to notice any of it, let alone explore the history

I love the show, I think it’s really well done, funny & wild & touching

Yeah, that’s exactly what I was thinking – it’s the logical outcome, but it’s such a grim thing for anyone to state

Crude q, but in the Peacemaker Nazis-won alternate universe, there’s been no mention of Jews (vs other minorities, who are in work camps)… it’s not directly relevant to the team since nobody in it is Jewish AFAIK, but does this suggest that they were all killed when the Nazis won?

The screwy thing is that the Riyadh Comedy Festival is actually a terrific premise for a warped movie

Here is the link to the 1989 SCOTUS decision ruling that flag burning is protected by the first amendment. It was a huge deal back then. I genuinely wonder what John Roberts thinks of Trump posts like this. supreme.justia.com/cases/federa...

I'm trying to read something in an Acrobat PDF & this repulsive bloated purple-peach AI Assistant GROWTH is practically throbbing in the corner of the screen. It's maddening; it's useless; and when I try to turn it off in Preferences, nothing seems to work. So I've come here to pointlessly gripe!!

Donald Trump wanted to give King Charles one of Dwight Eisenhower's swords. The director of the library said no.

He was told to resign or be fired. WTF.

No swords for Kings.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.
