This is one of the more gruesome episodes I’ve ever seen. A good reason never to go outside

Many of you on here have seen me ranting about Greys Anatomy, and I've written about why it is the Perfect Show for my Diseased Brain

Season 4 and they have a faith healer episode. It’s honestly not hard to track the current deplorable state of their country when you realise how many people genuinely believe in insane woo-woo Christianity. Helps you remember they were founded by witch burning puritans

Bluesky is quite bad at long threads, so I guess I’ll start a new one for my greys anatomy commentary.
I’m up to the Izzy and the cheque storyline and I HATE IT SO MUCH

Ok I’m spending tonight filling one of my most egregious culture gaps - I am watching Greys Anatomy for the first time 👩‍⚕️

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Sometimes I wonder what Rayna James from the hit tv show Nashville would think of the rise of fascism

The vet is next to my gym, but closes before I finish working out, so often I’ll pick up basils special food before I go in

Dog food fell out of my bag at the gym today and I said “protein loading” really loudly and cackled, and weirdly nobody would make eye contact with me

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
