If you haven't had the pleasure of close-reading the braids of Game of Thrones with Sarah on her (and often Phillip's) recaps, you are in for such a treat, and related treats

my first-ever spec feature script was a union organizing movie with heist beats. unfortunately it was no better than most everyone's first-ever spec feature script

It’s very meta that the watch word for disingenuous white people became a pejorative by white people practicing that very phenomena.
