I suggest that we start using the phrase "Mr. Beast and the CEO of Salesforce will be there too." as shorthand to explain how little we want to be at any given terrible event.

Okay, I'll ask: Did he make that face on purpose or is this an Ariana Grande situation where the surgeon fucked up and no amount of eyebrow plucking will fix it?

I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

I get that kids are going to be into Harry Potter no matter what, but if you're a content creator showing off the HP related things you bought for your children I'm going to assume that means *you* have no problem with JK Terfling. Because you could just buy that shit quietly and move on.

Been genuinely curious about how many people are even going to *want* to share their Spotify Wrapped this year. Proof you can't even do the bare minimum in an act of protest is not a flex.
If you still don’t want to leave Spotify (despite the fact you can transfer your playlists to other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE), we ask you not to share your Spotify Wrapped this year.
Spotify is running ads to recruit for the regime’s secret police. Stop paying for or using Spotify until the ICE ads stop: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

What reenter? He never fucking left!
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

#WaysToHelp I found a page with a list of book drives for various reservation schools and other needs. You order the book and have it shipped to the school/site. I used my favorite, @roomofonesownbooks.bsky.social, but bookshop.org has free shipping today, you could take advantage of that!

Bluesky and Threads both remind me of old Twitter, but with only one of those do I mean it as a compliment.

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

Fascinating to watch reactions to the Macy's parade online and see people not understand:
1) The parade is largely for children.
2) The parade is by Macy's. The store. The thing they perform in front of.

Fucking EW. I clicked the Google Doodle thinking it'd lead me to a game or something and instead it was an AI prompt about how to throw a Thanksgiving party. Even if I freaking *wanted* that why would I click the doodle to get it?

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.
