I think this season of Ted Lasso is the best since the first. It has definitely won me back after being skeptical about if a 4th season was a good idea or necesssary. It’s had a lot of good jokes and some heartbreaking moments, and I just am really loving it.

I find it strange that some people refuse to believe this is the way our decentralised culture works now, that it's possible to be completely ignorant of hugely popular things that don't match your tastes and interests. People aren't lying about that because they think it makes them look cool.

I was thinking today about early internet when there was a joke regarding the email forwards you’d get from an aunt or grandma. And now I think about how many friends I keep in contact with almost exclusively through memes. It’s basically an email forward but with Aragorn breaking his toe.

Hive Mind! I'm writing a round for International Waters and I'm looking for funny examples of things you're irrationally (or rationally but make it fun) afraid of. Leaning more towards things like "calling to make an appointment" vs. you know, the world as it is.

The Emma Frost x Miss Piggy comic has hit the internet and it's so, so, so much more magnificent than I ever could have hoped for
Emma Frost: "Emma Frost, darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your mind to ascertain if you're telling the truth?"

Miss Piggy: "But of course, darling I am an open book, a tell-all memoir."Emma Frost telepathically witnessing the entirety of Miss Piggy's life.Wolverine: "Frost? She legit?"
Emma Frost: "She's..She's... She's everything. And I would die for her."

Just about every legacy entertainment company at this point is like that moment in Tommy Boy when Dan Aykroyd’s character says he plans to just shut down Callaghan auto and stick his own company’s brake pads in their boxes.

The chokehold IP has on the entertainment industry is such a nightmare. I wish so badly I had the seed money to open an indie film studio because no one in a position to do so seems to see or care about the absolute gold rush potential in Hollywood right now.

Elon Musk agrees with white supremacists and Nazis literally every single day at all hours of the day and no one in the mainstream press or even the independent press writes or reports shit about it and that is EXTREMELY frustrating. White people treat reporting on racism like it's passe and boring

It's the simplest thing, these little videos, to show that government is working, and more to the point, working for you. It kicks the teeth out of that old Reaganism about how the scariest statement is "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

Widow’s Bay is not an example of “a non-comedy won all the awards!” It’s a genuinely very funny show written by comedians. It’d be like saying Ghostbusters isn’t a comedy because it has ghosts in it. Which is an apt analogy since the showrunner has literally written a ghostbusters movie.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

Trans rights becoming a national talking point is bad for us. It's the worst kind of issue for cis people to get involved in: one they don't understand or really care about. There are no consequences for them. They can be face meltingly wrong and it doesn't matter; it won't affect them anyway.

I’ve never paid as close to the lyrics of “Everyday People” before but I gotta say, I don’t think not liking the rich one for not helping the poor one is nearly the same as… ::checks notes:: …yeah. But different strokes for different folks I guess.
There is a long hair that doesn't like the short hair
For bein' such a rich one, that will not help the poor one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and Scooby-Dooby-Doo

(Oh, sha-sha)
(Oh, sha-sha) we got to live together

There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one, that won't accept the white one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and Scooby-Dooby-Doo

The reason that the Harry Potter apologists won't just read better books is because they're not looking for good stories...if they were, they wouldn't have glommed on to Harry Potter. They're looking for the camaraderie and social phenomenon that Harry Potter was in the 2000s.
