is it too late to call Bryan Fuller's Hannibal "Eated Rivalry"

Saw Wicked: For Good tonight, and I am dying at how the movie tries to keep a PG rating by having two of their leads sing a song that's explicitly about fucking ("As Long as You're Mine") from 30 feet away from each other while Elphaba puts on an additional sweater

Re The Long Walk: I want to know if Harkness' comments about the "commerciality" of some guy shitting in the road are in the original book, because that ABSOLUTELY feels like the director/screenwriter taking potshots at stupid conversations they've had with some studio executive or another

Seeing Jaws in IMAX: 1) is a 10/10 experience, such a good movie and such a great way to really appreciate it, 2) really cemented how much Quint's death scene gave me a phobia of Big Thing Gonna Eat Me

The most I’ve been read to filth recently: a young queer woman was talking about Tumblr and a friend who’s bisexual and I said β€œso admittedly I’m also a Tumblr bisexual…” and she immediately said β€œoh, I can tell.”

I'm now using the release of Florence & the Machine's new song as an excuse to start building a new Halloween playlist in August

This year’s birthday was weird since, most years, people’s messages are like β€œHere’s to a brand new year!” And this time it’s like β€œWe’re so proud of you for not having some sort of nervous collapse β€” statistically speaking, this year will PROBABLY be less personally disastrous”

I'm reading The Tale of the Body Thief for the first time and boy did I not anticipate how much of this book would be about Lestat remembering how to take a piss

Very vague #WeaponsMovie spoilers:

I saw an advanced screening of Weapons, and
1) it is immediately one of my favorite movies of 2025
2) it'd make a great double-feature with Bring Her Back

Just to add onto the mental health chaos that is my year, it is becoming increasingly clear that my stepmom is sick of me being around her house and my dad is badly trying to hide it lololololololol

The differing levels of stakes on #TheGildedAge is always so funny to me.

Marian: Oscar, I know that you've been hiding your sexuality and lost someone you loved, I'm so sorry and I'm here for you.

Ward McAllister: WHAT do you MEAN that I am exCLUded from this PAAAHRTAYYY

Like it ENTIRELY makes sense if you need to use some period-appropriate settings, Long Island has a decent amount of preserved historical homes, but it is just funny for me personally to be like "I saw a guy do fire-swallowing on that lawn for their Christmas festival"

Something fun for me about The Gilded Age is they keep shooting at Old Westbury Gardens (here it's standing in for the UK, last season it stood in for Newport), and while it does look appropriate for the setting, it's funny knowing that IRL it's down the road from a Benihana's

After all those rounds for Senior Account Manager they apparently were like β€œso we think you’re better suited for a regular-level account manager instead! Also we don’t have any account manager roles open. But we might in a few weeks?”

The fact that Date Everything is only available on Windows and not Mac -- AND it cannot be played on Nvidia or Boosteroid -- is truly, TRULY going to haunt me

Started watching the V/H/S film series, and started off with the Raatma sequence, which is an immediate favorite. Decided to do a quick sketch of my favorite raatma, with the newscaster raatma into the camera after spitting raatma at her raatma. Hail raatma. #vhs94 #hailraatma

I was gonna need to cut back on sessions soon anyway, due to finances. But it's probably for the best when the issue is "when you talk smack about other clients during sessions, it makes me self-conscious to tell you things" and her response is "I'm allowed to find people boring"

I am very curious what cultural historians will make out of a Broadway season with 3 major musicals about corpses

like I'm sure there's societal/psychological reasons for it but I need someone who's smarter than me to write about it #TonyAwards

Me & my friend at a drag event:

Friend: see everyone got a better drink pour than me, look

Me: See, this is how we can tell which one of us is queer and which one isn't, I'm watching the hot lady go-go dancers while you're clocking everyone's beer

Between David Baddiel’s cat, Julien Clary’s friend, and Jason Mantzoukas’ dog, it seems that β€œbringing in the ashes of a dead loved one” is a winning Taskmaster strategy because it scores well every time

Took this from a pile of free books on the curb, which does feel like the start to a really messed-up Magnus Archives episode
