Hulu is coming out with something (a movie? a show?) called Phony, which looks like a less scary version of Other Mommy. But I think Phony is about a kid getting some kind of head injury that causes face blindness? Unsure.

It could use less ableism but broadly yes. We all translate what we hear into words and ideas that make sense to us. If we can do it accurately and well, we can be a teacher. If we can do it with little loss of info, we can be a journalist. But if we filter it too much, we'll just be wrong.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Just watched a commercial for Club Med on a youtube video and it was the most repulsive thing I've seen without gore or assault in a long time. It made me want to go to Club Med just to burn the place down. Yikes.

Is Andrew Garfield the most pro-Palestine celebrity who's been a guest on Amy Poehler's Good Hang? It might be a tie with Hayley Williams. Regardless, it was a pretty great episode!

I think if you're a man and you don't do things to make the women around you safe until someone ASKS you to do those things, you're setting a baseline for how safe you are. Now, men can't read minds or predict the future but they can listen to womens' stories and ask questions and TRY. Right?

So there's a new Australian comedy show about to release on their ABC full of cool comedians and Dave Hughes. That guy is such an abusive piece of shit that every OTHER person on the show is spending the entire launch campaign basically saying, "Please watch us despite this guy! 🙏". It's too bad.

Neither my android phone nor myshake app gave me any heads-up there but i guess that was bc the earthquake was 3.0 or smaller? I think there's a lower strength cutoff for those warnings?

Yo, it's me again, getting jabs! I'm no epidemiologist but I do follow a bunch on instagram and bluesky and so I'm aware that at the end of September 2026, the US is experiencing the 13th big COVID surge of infections. Is it happening in your area as bad as... www.instagram.com/p/DduZQq4Su05/

A nurse off the frame to the upper left gives me a shot in my right arm with 2 bandaids on her glove waiting to be applied, implying I'm getting both my COVID 2026 and flu shots.

I try to be chill but the thing that bugs me most at work is email subject lines that DO NOT CONVEY ANY USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT'S IN THE EMAIL. Like, that's what subjects are FOR. Not "re: customer". No kidding, Frank, that's what all our business is about.

I've been watching tons of stand up comedy and like... Why do we keep letting men try that? Did someone tell men they were funny? That is a premise that seems wrong. Sure there are rare exceptions, a Josh Johnson, a Demi Adejuyigbe, but so many are just manosphere disciples. Ew.

I usually don't get into fights on insta but I'm trying to point out on one post that the mystical-seeming line up of measurements containing the same number is actually meaningless because we created arbitrary scales of measurement, like meters and times on a clock. 3am and 3ms? WE MADE THOSE UP!
