You know what makes me feel kind of stupid? I don’t really, like, “get” the Domino-hoo-hoo ads

Slowly falling in love with the Ratboys album, but there's some cognitive dissonance in how it sounds like a summer day while I fear the UK may never see the sun again

Loved this series of The Traitors but I feel like the prize money just isn’t that much for the work required and how big a show it is? You can win that much on Beat The Chasers in 10 minutes and these people have to take holiday, do a media tour, etc

I find James quite charming and man it's interesting to see someone so clearly neurodivergent on TV but there's something about him that strongly gives 'hovering around a pool table at a rock bar in a mid size town'

y'know, it's never been perfect, but I've been reading Pitchfork for I reckon 22 years. I'm really really sad they're now paywalling reviews, if feels like an ending

get a perverse thrill out of hate-reading [redacted]'s uniformly awful - both in judgement and writing! - TV reviews in [redacted]

This one was me: watching Spanish horror film The Orphanage, during a very big jump scare about halfway through, I managed to knock the popcorn out of my neighbour (a stranger)'s hand

Real Housewives went downhill as a franchise the moment they collectively learned the word ‘gaslight’

Miriam Shor in Pluribus - imagine being so typecast that you can only play publishing professionals?

Not one aunt gladis at the gay Halloween night last night???

Can’t believe I’m going to vote for a thingbox gay next election

saw this headline and thought 'oh yeah they do look gorge'

literally fall for the rage bait in those mobile game ads every time. sit there watching them mess it up and not, like, move the gem they're supposed to move or shoot the right target, burning with frustrtion. and then i've watched the whole thing, and the algorithm has had its way with me

why do trains make their coffee so hot? the likelihood of spilling is so high, and the coffee is so hot, it's not supposed to be this hot, and i want to drink it now. why do you want to hurt me?

last night i dreamt i acquired several puppies, and as they were all running around me and licking my face i thought 'this is too many puppies, how am i going to look after them all'. allergic to joy even in my dreams

really trying to space out my posts about the pitt because i'm starting to sound like a lunatic but oh my god i would die for you student doctor mel king (except i wouldn't because you'd save my life)

i was about to say let's rank the interns best to worst but that's not fair on them they're all trying so hard and have clear talent and unique barriers to overcome

I'd Rather Be Talking About The Pitt
