Apparently watching Clare Danes being on the brink of a breakdown is one of my favourite TV genres.

I'm on Ep 2 of 30 Rock and I'm yet to laugh. Alec Baldwin's character is the only light so far. I've heard it's good. Is it one of those "skip the first season" situations?

Watching Beef S2. I delayed because I'd heard it isn't good. I'm loving it. Just really messy people being messy and awful but sometimes sympathetic and vulnerable. It's not as contained as S1 but I'm still thoroughly engaged. The cast is 🤌🏼

This thread on trying to live/survive in academia. So frustrating to hear, especially from someone who does so much to make academia accessible for everyone 😟 Meanwhile it seems intent on only letting a select few thrive.

Tonight's film is... Supergirl (2026). 5 seconds in and it's giving DC does Guardians of the Galaxy. GoG was fun but I got tired of the tone & musical noatalgia of it all. I'm also not into these jaded, hungover, DGAF female characters. I find them a bit one note. But...

Weird how all the ai execs started telling us their own tech will end humanity, just as we all pushed back against data centres & discovered the mass destruction of books for LLMs to hoover up. The scifi future they wants us to worry about instead of the real world data theft actually happening...

I keep seeing this film poster for The Dog Stars and it looks like if Derelicte was a movie. Hot people in the apocalypse with designer sweat sheen... The perfectly arranged scarf is sending me 🙃

The Dog Stars poster. 3 really hot white people (mainly Jacob Elordi), 2 men and a woman, posing with guns against a post-apocalyptic scene of the edge of a city. There's a 4th person in the background, probably because they're not hot. The hot people have really good haircuts considering the hairdressers might all be dead...

Tonight's film is... An Honest Life (2024). It's like Saltburn meets The Secret History but make it Swedish. But instead of being in love with aristos he joins a sexy gang of intellectual revolutionaries.

Watching Lanterns and it's good right out the box, if Ep 1 is anything to go by. I don't know anything about this character (I was a Marvel kid) but the multiple versions and cosmic action is giving if America did Dr Who. Aaron Pierre is really good.

On the apps and the too tight jeans/trousers aesthetic has Millennial/Gen X men in a chokehold. For the love of everything please take style tips from Pedro Pascal/Harry Styles not the Tate brothers (not pictured bc I couldn't bear it)

Photo layout of 3 photos. 1. Pedro Pascal in a loose brown effortlessly cool suit. 2. Harry Styles in stylish wide leg jeans. 3. Three men framed from mid-torso, sitting on a wall in very tight short trousers with blazer, no socks and loafers.

Last night's film was... Obsession (2026). The incel magical wish horror film to end them all. That is top tier horror. At times a hard watch because it is the horror of a psychologically abusive relationship with added blood and gore. The awkward and tension was off the charts...

Tonight's film is... Office Romance (2026). I'm appreciating the scene where the Brit explains the greeting/response "alright" to an American. She's like "but I'm not alright" Him: "nobody's alright, Claire, but we just say it!"
