One thing I don't get is people saying Lanterns is embarrassed to do GL stuff. It's sparing and grounded but there's not bathos to undercut any of its actual use in a way I'd think meant embarrassment

Lanterns doing such a good job with the Hal/John dynamic it has made me kinda bummed we won't get 5 more seasons where they're actually partners who trust each other. Considering idgaf about Hal before great work

For podcast reasons watching Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. There's not been a Robin Hood since that plays it this straight (even with the American accent)

Genuinely pleased to hear the commentary including former players saying going off the ground is the right thing to do. Last time I watched a game on TV was awhile ago and it was much more 'tough it out' #AFLCrowsFreo

Bank transfer for rent went out Wednesday. Same as last fortnight. Automated email saying I'm behind in rent arrived today. Can't even hell at a bank until Tuesday.

Why would women want to watch romance where no surprise casual misogyny is going to pop up and ruin the vibe?? Why would women want to escape straight men for five minutes???

Whatever Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie are to each other I hope the affection we see in their pr stuff is real and lasting. It feels like something they deserve for all the joy their performances have brought people.

Worth noting the attempt to pull the 'do you denounce radical islam' line on the guy who just got shot saving lives

Of course, everybody wanted to hear his own account of the events of that Bloody Sunday, his motivation, the impact on him.

But what about his opinion, as a man who risked his own life to save Jews, on the rise of antisemitism?

As a Syrian Muslim, what about the apparent influence of radical Islamist terrorists on our way of life?

What did he think about our Prime Minister's stubborn, nonsensical refusal to hold a Royal Commission into the Bondi attack?

One day, perhaps, we will find out what he thinks about those things.

Count me among the HEATED RIVALRY flock. Women are devouring the HBO hit in phenomenal numbers but let's not overlook the gift that the gay hockey romance represents to queer audiences. Some words of gratitude: www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-review...

Critic’s Notebook: In Praise of ‘Heated Rivalry’ and Gay Happy Endings

Get your mind out of the gutter! The sex is hot, but it's the swoony romantic highs and tender insights into queer first love and self-acceptance that make HBO’s breakout hit special.

The level of skill and care I can see on screen in heated rivalry shows me everyone was putting everything into it. Like do I know what a grip does? No. But I know the ones working on Heated Rivalry are the best in the biz because look at what the set and costuming and *lighting* is like

I can't believe Jacob made me shocked and surprised by an episode ending I predicted after episode 2. That's television #HeatedRivalry

Shadowmaster13 🇦🇺 @shadowmaster13.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Because people denigrate the skill of a good sex scene we've been getting so many by the numbers unnecessary sex scenes which is part of why people keep saying things don't need them, and also why so many people can't see how very necessary Heated Rivalry's sex scenes are

Shadowmaster13 🇦🇺 @shadowmaster13.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

I am so happy with episode 3. Jacob Tierney is willing to do something that is not popular (shift focus) in order to tell the story right. I also think the changes make the Scott/Kip story stronger overall #HeatedRivalry

Shadowmaster13 🇦🇺 @shadowmaster13.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

So after re reading I did not realised that Hunter/Kip takes place over like 2 months. That man goes from never fucked inside North America to wifed up in no time. Anyway very much looking forward to episode 3 which will faithfully tell 75% of the story in an hour somehow

The heated rivalry show has me rereading the series even before watching it and just kicking my feet on delight when Rozanoff chirps Hunter. Rachel Reid you were so right to love him enough to write book 2 about him

Knowing the sport would be a detriment to my ability to enjoy hockey as a sports romance. This is also why a US football is fine but Hollywood isn't

Sure, England were humiliated by the First Test loss...but that's not enough is it? We want them to suffer, as well. 😄 #Ashes #Cricket

Get some blokes in there who understand that the best part of winning the Ashes isn’t the winning itself - it’s watching England realise they’re going to lose and still have to turn up the next day. And the day after that. And the day after that. You can’t do that in two days. You need five.

Trust England to let a wobbly aussie team get the job done. Seriously Australia needs to be bringing through the next generation because Khawaja is surely out with his back for Brisbane. Let me not downplay the excellence of Starc, but we can't expect that every time #Ashes

Shadowmaster13 🇦🇺 @shadowmaster13.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

I am still baffled as to why they made the debutant face the opening strike in the first innings. No matter how much the Khawaja stuff put them on the spot that was not a smart move. #Ashes

Considering that the Bond movies are actually pretty clear that he's the same guy it's annoying how much people think the only flaw with the Bond as code name theory is that it's never been confirmed. Roger Moore visited Lazenby Bond's wife's grave! They're all the same guy.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text.
--
Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

In case anyone is less brain poisoned than me; read this ridiculous hypothetical

A quota post. The question posed is: Atheists, imagine you're a famous baseball player and are about to bat the winning hit. Accidentally, the pitcher tosses a Christian baby at you. Would you still hit the baby out of the stadium and win millions, or spare the Christian baby?
