The universe cheated me today in a way that makes me want to publicly post about it for attention and sympathy, but in the spirit of being strong I will instead be very vague in whining about it.

Our toilet has been endlessly running for three weeks and there's no ETA for it ever being fixed from maintenance and this is how wasted water and murders happen.

Dear God. This is like doing a production of "Our Town" with the biggest and flashiest sets possible.

If the Trump administration put as much effort into affordability as it did terrorizing Abrego Garcia we'd be living in a utopia.

At least they finally asked. They could have pushed harder but then they'd be at risk of doing their jobs.

If Kristi Noem can't sit through a hearing and defend her actions she needs to lose her job.

I'm not in AI but to me it seems the guardrails just aren't there yet to protect IP from being represented in a way that hurts the properties.

All I can hope is this journey eventually helps studios learn how valuable their writers and artists are.

I'm a little behind in watching but Millie Bobby Brown's outfit in season 5 is surely some kind of punishment more than homage.

You can tell "The Diplomat" is made up because the VP in it actually does stuff instead of being a racist little asshole all day.

At some point good reporters would ask him if we should be concerned the leader of Congress says he's regularly not informed about the biggest stories affecting our country.

A half an hour of ads enrages me, especially at AMC where I watch several trailers and then a shitty commercial with Pete Davidson and then even more trailers then three ads in a row for AMC when I'm already at AMC.

My BlueSky feed is currently nothing but that Jimmy Fallon clip over and over.

I mostly enjoy the "Pivot" podcast, I guess that's why I listen to it, but the hosts really rile me up with how dismissive they are about creatives in Hollywood and smear the steps and strikes we took to ensure we can make any sort of living at all while studios make billions in profit off our work.

This guy is gay. There's been so many rumors about it forever. Or he's so scared of women he'd rather be with feminine men. Nothing is wrong with either of these things except that he spews hate against the communities he's probably a part of.

I really like Jasmine Crockett. I hope Texas isn't as racist, misogynistic and conservative as I suspect it is to give her a chance. It will be a bummer to lose her service in Congress. She and Talarico both seem like great candidates.

Living in LA is hard but I think I just saw Rhea Perlman at a bookstore and that makes me happy.

I feel like we're gonna find out they've been spending this money in all sorts of illegal ways once the Supreme Court says they have to pay it back.

I guess I'm a bad gay because the 3rd episode of "Heated Rivalry" had me feeling completely OK with the idea of having a secret closeted relationship with a super hot and rich hockey player.

I wish the Supreme Court acted with the same speed for ending the tariffs as much as they cared about dismantling democracy.

It would only take 1 person from the White House to leak the truth that Trump is getting regular IV treatment for Alzheimer's or congestive heart failure and his presidency would likely be over, and the fact the entire media is complicit in covering up that fact is something nefarious & enraging.
