I've created a new account for political stuff, and this arallara account is going to be for fandom/pop culture, maybe some personal stuff on both. If you followed me for anything other than fandom, I suggest you follow @metaphile.bsky.social! I may unfollow some folks here and refollow there.

Dooming just discourages people from caring and drives them further away from investment. CARE. Tomorrow is a new day. It is not necessary to be Pollyanna but maybe find some Anne Shirley in your soul?

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.

Look what happenes when a TV show releases every year, with more than 8 episodes a season.

High potentioal breaks a ratings record.

Forgive me, Chicago, I was not aware of your game

Posted by Block Club Chicago: "Cycling x Solidarity's latest mutual aid effort takes cyclists on group rides through Pilsen and other neighborhoods to buy out tamale vendors so they can stay home as ICE swarm the city. They pass out to food to people in need."

I looooove Coffee Crisp. I always buy a bunch when I go to Canada. Dang, now I want Coffee Crisp.

Honestly, good point!

I love Escape, and I love the performance, but the groping through a sheet choreo actually kind of creeps me out a little 😅

in honor of 🍝 week, here's Yunjin's song about wanting to be a jellyfish! It's a nice gentle bop, deeply relatable. (haepari is jellyfish)

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

Sorry, I hadn’t been able to rewatch yet and wanted to do that before replying. Yes!! That is interesting! Totally contributes to the sense of intimacy. There also was a notable lack of those frequent weird (suspicious) edits we got in the last one. So fascinating again on rewatch!
