Tried to follow Shabana Mahmood's mental gymnastics, but think she just broke my brain.
“I do think there is that element of it, which is: ‘How dare you, a brown woman, say a thing that we white liberals think you’re not allowed to say?’ Well I’m saying it."
Shrinking Season 3
But season 3? These characters, once vulnerable and sincerely human are now like avatars from The Sims, bumbling around and mouthing their own Greatest Hits but without any of the authenticity.
Has the show lost half its writing staff or something?

Shrinking
What's the deal with Shrinking season 3?
S1 & S2 were some of the greatest television of the 2020s. Lovingly constructed with fallible characters that let us in on their emotional struggles. More tears in a single episode than most shows will achieve in an entire run...

We're asked all the time to be compassionate to those who blame immigrants. They're angry! Listen to their fears! Find some middle ground where we can all work together.
And then they do this and remind you that they are feckless arseholes. £175 fine? A disgraceful insult to the victim
"Hard to overstate just how much the British press hated Dido at this point ... Writers were obsessed with the idea that Dido was a rich kid, but they also hated that she wasn’t born that rich."

Look, watch WrestleMania if you want.
I’ve been a regular wrestling fan since 1991. I've seen plenty of good and bad. No company deserves your money or attention if they’ve done nothing to deserve it. WrestleMania in 2026 might be the least deserving PPV of all time.
I will happily skip.
I could go on. I haven't even touched the years of Trump and MAGA links.
After a year-long (and extremely disappointing) farewell tour, John Cena RETURNS just four months later.
Remember when even Jon Stewart covered the John Cena turn on The Daily Show?
HUGE DEAL doesn't scratch the surface of how big this was.
CM Punk calls out the high ticket prices while working for the company who could have just reduced their extortionate ticket prices rather than make a last-minute promo out of this.
Even if you don't care about the morality of WWE, these stories are a horrible, bungled mess.
Happy WrestleMania weekend, everyone!
Here's why I won't be watching... 🧵

It would be, as a certain public figure loves to say, TREMENDOUS!
All right, I’m done (for now).
Hopefully that convinces you to go watch some wrestling.
On telly or in your local village hall. You’ll have a blast!
OKADA delivers a picture-perfect DDT on the outside.
Then dresses as his opponents and tries to get tagged in.
“Tremendous.”
“How’s your brother’s dick, huh?”
LOL. He’s having the time of his life.
THE PAIN!
THE EMBARRASSMENT!
It’s all there.
The moonsault by the Young Bucks is impressive.
But the missed dropkick that follows + expression on face of OKADA is, in the words of Tony Schiavone, “tremendous”.
OKADA ❤️
The greatest of his generation. Possibly of any generation.
In this era of his career, he’s having SO MUCH FUN!
Let’s take a look…

This silliness is one of my favourite kinds of wrestling.
I love how wrestling can be serious, emotional, pageantry, drag and also downright SILLY.
Wrestling literally has everything.
You should watch it.
