Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I won’t stop reporting the truth. The First Amendment is the bedrock of our democracy, and I’ll continue to fight to protect it 🤝🏾🇺🇸

I almost wish there was a global BIPOC group chat. Because the Imperialist & Friends finger pointing, moral righteousness, grandstanding & dissonance is astounding right now. The specific erasure of POC's experiences with ALL of them in-house & beyond has me staring into space like ... umm.

Characters of the Week: Chicago PD, High Potential & Four Others That Left Us Reeling It's time for our Characters of the Week, and we have some strong entries from Chicago PD to High Potential.

He really does look like he's moments away from taking a 90s style middle school picture with the neon color backgrounds. Temu Throwback Jonathan Taylor Thomas vibes.

Why We Can't Stop Talking About Heated Rivalry We’re still not over Heated Rivalry, so we had to keep talking about it. Read TV Fanatics Whitney Evans and Jasmine Blu's breakdown of the first season!

Had a lovely chat about #HeatedRivarly and why it's such a great, transcendental series that resonates so much.

The Pitt Season 2 Premiere Starts Slow, but It’s Strong Where It Counts The Pitt eases us in with a slow premiere, introducing new characters, conflicts, exciting returns, and teases an intense shift. Our review!

It's good to have #ThePitt back. Even if the premiere was a little slow, and I still have mixed feelings about Baran. 👀

Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

I loved ##HeatedRivarly. It was this quiet, unassuming show that snuck up on me, tapped into my genuine love/connection to characters, and left me emotionally raw in a way that rattles me in the ways I need but don't always know how to deal with. But some of the discourse has been exhausting.

Ginny & Georgia, The Bear, Animal Kingdom: How TV Is Getting Generational Trauma Right From The Bear to Ginny & Georgia, television is tackling the complexities of generational trauma beautifully, and it continues to resonate.

I've been thinking a lot about #generationaltrauma... and of course, I tied it with these great series that showcase it well. #GinnyAndGeorgia #TheBear #AnimalKingdom #TVTalk

Yep. They're shopping it around, so that's a bit of positivity. But NBC basically axed all of their shows except Brilliant Minds, Hunting Party, Law & Order and One Chicago to make room for basketball.

NBC's "Slam Dunk" Is an Egregious Foul Against Loyal Viewers NBC's decision to decimate scripted programming like Found for basketball is deeply hurtful for loyal viewers, and we're struggling.

"As broadcast continues to lean into sports and reality television to curb the cost of producing quality scripted programming, it’s like we’re holding the longest funeral for television as we know it ever." #NBCFOUND #

Big DILF Energy: TV's Obsession with Seasoned Men Is Paying Off It's not just about looks in this Silver Fox Renaissance. TV has captured the universal appeal of seasoned men with authentic storytelling.

"By giving seasoned men room to be vulnerable, complicated, and even sexy, TV finally reflects something closer to real life — and audiences are responding." #ThePitt #ChicagoMed ##NCISORIGINS #ChicagoPD

Death of Ensembles: Networks Are Destroying Their Own Shows One Cast Cut at a Time Networks need to do a better job of keeping their ensembles intact as the cast cutting measures are destroying their series and broadcast TV.

"But more and more, these departures aren’t voluntary — they’re financial decisions disguised as “creativity,” and audiences can tell.

It’s killing trust. It’s killing loyalty. And ultimately, it’s killing shows." #FireCountry #911onABC #ChicagoFire

The Pitt’s B-Team is Just as A-List (And We Need More) Shifts collided during a crisis, and The Pitt successfully introduced new characters late into the season. Now we want more, and here's why!

Listen, #ThePitt will need to pry the Night Shift crew from my fingertips. Can we keep them, too? The B-Team is just as badass.🔥⤵️

There's Not Enough Wine in My Golden Goblet to Make Love is Blind Season 8 Interesting Is it just us, or is Love is Blind Season 8 a snoozefest? From the location to the cast, we discuss why it is falling short. Check it out!

They've outdone themselves on #LoveIsBlind with the blandest, whitest, straightest, most boring contestants yet. Momma's going to need a bigger cup of wine to get through this season.

FOX's Extracted Destroys Families For Our Perverse Entertainment (And Not Nearly Enough Money) Extracted is a hot mess reality show that destroys families for our entertainment and a meager amount of cash. But I'm locked in. Here's why!

There's something perverse AF about #ExtractedOnFox, and I hate how I can't turn away from it...

It was such a big episode of #DocOnFox, especially for all the shippers...

It really does seem across the board, for sure. One Chicago is the most egregious. But oof. Thanks!

It's become increasingly more concerning the lengths and measures taken in the US to control and suppress information. Can anyone help me out with reputable new sources to keep up with news here and abroad?
