While most of us are probably happy with where Roy and Keeley ended up on Ted Lasso, their relationship deserved so much better than the messy, irritating way they got there.

Roy and Keeley's Love Story Deserved Better Than 'Ted Lasso' Season 4

Look, I'm as happy as anyone that Roy and Keeley are finally (!!) back together and having a baby (!!!). But this season did the pair of them real dirty.

The pacing of this episode is extremely annoying. A two-week cliffhanger to find out who got banished, and now another cliffhanger to find out who gets murdered? What are we doing here, y'all? #TheTraitorsUS #TheTraitorsNewBlood

Victor audibly farting in his coffin just as Kriste was saying how grateful she was to be buried next to him is some genuinely top-tier reality TV editing. #TheTraitorsUS #TheTraitorsNewBlood

Alright, forcing everyone else to watch the prospective victims get buried alive is pretty badass. #TheTraitorsUS #TheTraitorsNewBlood

I swear, if Victor suddenly starts actually catching Traitors, I'm going to lose my mind. #TheTraitorsUS #TheTraitorsNewBlood

Y'all, put me in that castle; I would never in my life feel bad about engaging in Traitor behavior. Crying over murders is ridiculous. #TheTraitorsUS #TheTraitorsNewBlood

Jay has ruined his whole game, though, which is great. (Especially because voting for Sherry, the only other real option, was actually the smart move, and he's getting dragged for it.) #TheTraitorsUS #TheTraitorsNewBlood

Genuinely, I would vote Jay out even if I didn't think he was a Traitor because he is that annoying. #TheTraitorsUS #TheTraitorsNewBlood

Rebecca Yarros's short story collection, Threshing Day, is basically filler that's targeted straight at hardcore Fourth Wing fans. But that's precisely why they'll love it.

Yes, Rebecca Yarros' 'Threshing Day' Is Complete Filler (But It's Fun)

This slim collection of tales is as ephemeral as dragon smoke, but it's still fun getting to know some of the Fourth Wing secondary cast a bit better.

WELL. If you wondered why I had zero things to say about the NYT piece on the HR AI fic situation last month...I had zero things to say publicly then. 🥲 Thank you to everyone who discussed this situation with me and read a draft of this. I tried my best to illustrate these longstanding dynamics:

“The combination of Pugh’s performance and the show’s unabashed insistence that her story is worth telling in its own right—on her own terms—makes for something that’s still deeply satisfying to watch." @lacymb.bsky.social reviews EAST OF EDEN:

My company, OgreAI, harvests the teeth of children in order to plant them and grow our army of ogres. Unfortunately, we are increasingly concerned that the ogres may break containment. The only solution is we need more children’s teeth to grow more ogres to prevent that from happening.

Wow, maybe he should watch an actual episode of Doctor Who, since the show literally just did a story about the dangers of AI and the oppressive threat (to women and society) it represents!?!?

I went behind the scenes on ReelShort's steamy adaptation of Sierra Simone's Lyonesse books to understand how vertical dramas are leading the charge on "trope-forward storytelling," why romance adaptations are boosting verticals in a whole new way, and more:
