My bad... 3 stops! 🫠

11:47p, 1:43a, and 5:36a only to arrive in an hour ahead (7:29a) of the teams who got the direct train sleeper (8:30a). #TAR38 #AmazingRace

I know the teams who took the 10p overnight direct train to Hungary are happy since they got sleepers and don't have to transfer trains twice during the night. #TAR38 #AmazingRace

Granted I've not been watching #HallmarkChannel much this past year+ as they've cut down on diversity but I would've watched #BuriedAtC if I'd known it was premiering a few days ago. 🤓

It'll air again Oct 16th at 8p ET/PT so I'll DVR it. I did like the first movie in the series. #Hallmarkies #tvsky

Ho! Ho! Holiday Viewing! @sleepykittypaw.bsky.social · 10h

More bad news for Hallmark's mysteries. Even at 8 PM on main channel, ratings are…not good. Tamera Mowry-Housley's HAUNTED HARMONIES: BURIED AT C nabbed only 483k live viewers. That's better than the MYSTERY ISLAND movies, but still similar to numbers that got premieres pulled from Hallmark Mystery.

NBC News eliminated its teams dedicated to covering issues affecting Black, Asian American, Latino and LGBTQ+ groups as part of its layoffs of about 150 staffers.

NBC and parent Comcast have come under federal scrutiny for their diversity-focused efforts.

Has Hallmark hit saturation limits for amount of 🎄 movies + 3 months of it so people are tuning out?

I've switch mainly to other channels and streaming platforms cause the last few years of Countdown to Christmas lacked diversity. I think only one movie had a Black lead & it was Tamera Mowry.

I don’t know how to approach “Republicans weren’t racist in the early aughts” as someone who went to Texas during the early aughts and had to debate whether or not Black students were “stealing” people’s spots in class.

Y'all know I bounced from watching once I realized #Bridgerton showrunners basically put the kibbosh on any of the Bridgerton brothers having a Black woman OTP love interest. They said only white women can have a Black love interest on this show.

So colorism & #misogynoir? 🫩 Pass. #tvsky #booksky

Bridgerton’s Book Covers Fail Their Darker Skinned Leads

Netflix’s Bridgerton built its reputation on a promise of inclusion, but its latest book tie-ins have reignited old frustrations. The repackaged editions, designed to link the show and Julia Quinn’s novels, name white heroines like Daphne Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington on their covers, yet omit their darker-skinned partners, Simon Basset and Kate Sharma. The message is subtle but unmistakable: even within a fictional Regency world that claimed to reimagine race, visibility still follows the same color line.
