WELL YOU’RE IN LUCK. The Tommy Westfall-verse starts at the St. Elsewhere/Homicide crossover, both which crossed over with a buttload of shows (Det. Munchiverse). Crossovers spiderwebbing out to over 400 shows INCLUDING Dexter, Supergirl, IASIP, AND Mad About You

There was a NYC “blackout” storyline that played across Mad About You, Friends, and a short-lived Dabney Coleman show called Madman of The People. The only other sitcom on NBC that night was Seinfeld which didn’t do the blackout story, making Seinfeld Sony Spider-Man?
Mad About You and Seinfeld had a crossover in the first season with Kramer and Mad About You and Friends had repeated crossovers with Ursula so basically the 90s NBC prime time schedule was the marvel universe

Earlier today I saw an AskHistorians post asking how tv sitcoms used to be broadcast weirdly in the 90s with “gaps” in the schedule (they did not know about how tv seasons worked)

and combined with the fact that every single part of this joke is foreign to Gen Z

I am old; I must return to the sea.
Season 1 episode four of Mad About You from 1992. I will never get over this Back to the Future 2-ass timeline.

Sometimes you just want to smash things but the patriarchy is an abstract concept so instead you have to just beat a printer with a stick

After my best friend’s partner left her, we went to a rage room and it remains one of the best things I’ve ever done, everyone should have the opportunity to beat the shit out of a printer with a baseball bat.

I love that for Freakier Friday they said “what if also anti-Parent Trap?” Perfect solution, delightful movie, Manny Jacinto is unbearably beautiful.

Me, a normie: This is a neat thread about the pervasiveness of dominant cultures in a pluralistic society and how attempts to make people conform to it, even with window dressing aren't all that pleasant.

Christian-centric atheists: unlike you I recognize that all religions are equally stupid

Me: I don’t want to wear an ugly Christmas sweater to a work party

In fact, as I discuss in ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR, it's a *feature*, not a bug of white supremacy.

White Northern pastors started preaching Jesus' "unconditional" forgiveness* re: the South just as their supremacy was at risk. For them, white unity > accountability, Black equality.

*see next skeet
Reconciliation without reparation is one of supremacy's greatest sabotages of the act of repair. Whenever abuse is exposed, it offers free exoneration to the abuser at the expense of the abused, and calls it redemption. It's the traditional and popular response to abuse in our supremacist society.
Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.

They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.

Truly chilling, from @jlussenhop.bsky.social & Andy Mannix

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?
