Also man, is Gillian Anderson the platonic ideal of a tragic, decadent Tennessee Williams heroin in this movie, except what if Stanley never ripped the lantern off the bare lightbulb and Blanche could always live under that paper moon?

I’m an atheist and all, but finding this beauty at a thrift shop for $1.50 makes me wonder if there maybe is a higher power??

Finally got around to watching "After Hours," which I've decided is a low-key "Home Alone" prequel about how Kevin's parents met as downtown weirdos

Copy editing is about more than grammar and formatting; the meaning of words matters. Major outlets like @cnn.com saying "racial" instead of "racist" matters. But I see this particular mistake often enough across the board to know that it's likely quite intentional.

“The Bear” knew exactly what it was doing pairing Marin Ireland and Jon Bernthal—two actors who can tell whole novels with just their faces, falling in love just from a brief hour of feeling Known in a dive bar bathroom

Just realized that Dr. Abbot from “The Pitt” is the same dude who snorted his dead girlfriend’s cremains on “Six Feet Under.” You contain multitudes, Shawn Hatosy

Casting a cis actor as Lev, a character whose entire arc is about being rejected for his transness, is a particularly gross call. Extra baffling given how compelling the show’s queer storylines have been—building and expanding upon the what was already in the game. Do better, guys. #thelastofus

Cannot stop thinking about Jacob Elordi’s performance in “Frankenstein.” Transformative and empathetic and haunting in the kindest sense of the word.

Then the dumbest of all: Ann goes into a coma after drinking a grasshopper laced with insulin. If you drink insulin, it doesn’t get into your bloodstream. At worst, you’d get a stomachache and throw up.

Norma had an embolism because, when she gave herself her (once daily??) insulin shot, there was an air bubble in the syringe that got into her bloodstream. You inject insulin into your fatty tissue, not your vein—so an air bubble wouldn’t cause any harm apart from not getting a high enough dose.

TV shows and movies almost always get the facts of type 1 diabetes wrong (“The Pitt” being a notable exception). But I’ve never seen a script be as cartoonishly inaccurate about it as “Palm Royale.” (Spoilers ahead)

Thinking about this passage from @jarodkanderson.bsky.social’s “Something in the Woods Loves You” as I continue my job search. When I was younger and journalism was less broken, I used to find a sense of purpose in my work, because it *meant* something to me. I don’t know the last time I felt that.

I never thought I’d get the chance to see my all-time fave Rilo Kiley play live, so screaming along to “A Better Son/Daughter” amidst a sea of fellow skinny-jeaned millennials tonight felt pretty goddamn special.

The latest ep of "The Last of Us" was so sweet and epic and harrowing, and it healed my bi-romantic + demisexual heart 🏳️‍🌈
