X basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok made it normalized and centralized: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being targeted and dehumanized. Only question now is will X suffer any consequences

Jacob Tierney, if you can see this, maybe some background on Shane’s Japanese identity, please? If he’s going to learn Russian, maybe have him question why his mum never taught him Japanese. It could be a great way to explore the pressure they’re both under to assimilate into hockey’s whiteness.

Like the hatching of cicadas, the discovery that women are human with independent thoughts, emotions, and sexual desire, cycles around and everyone is surprised by it. Then everyone will forget and revert to unsatisfying slop until a new show emerges that we go berserk for, and it will start anew.

I don't mean to get earnest on main but

I've watched so many shot for shot breakdowns of this show and a very simple reason in addition to everything Tal laid out is the show took the source material seriously.

And so much stuff that takes romance and puts it on screen doesn't

Rewatching Pluribus in full, & I’m back to a feeling I had earlier on, but didn’t express: Is this Red Scare media?!🫣Is this a clumsy attempt at showing & ‘debunking’ collectivism? Individuality ≠ individualism, but I don’t see most viewers making that distinction. I’m more suspicious this time

I've never seen Stranger Things. I saw the monsters, the kids, heard D&D, & knew it wasn't for me. But, it's really funny to watch fans scream about the terrible acting & writing. Idk any of the plot lines, but I know they're incoherent & incomplete. Shucks.

To clarify: I'm recently (late) diagnosed, but could always feel the difference. I still resent people who used their ignorance to make my life worse. Those who made me feel less than for social problems, minimised my distress, depression, etc. This is about empathising w decent people who've tried.
I fear for the lazy analysis of Shane in Heated Rivalry due to him being 'canonically autistic.' I believe Rachel Reid when she says she'd written him based on loved ones who were later diagnosed. It's genetic, after all. & I adore H. Williams' using his (family's) diagnostic history with autism.

No one is asking Wes Streeting to be a commentator.

Asking him to be a government minister when the whole world can see Trump breaking international law whilst threatening Greenland next, and the Cabinet (with Nigel Farage) seems perfectly fine with it.
Wes Streeting is asked if Trump has broken international law when it comes to Venezuela. Streeting says he's got nothing to add and he's not here to be a commentator.

I mean, which idiot thinks politicians should answer questions when they're being interviewed in a TV studio!

Its attack on Venezuela is just the latest morbid symptom.

The story of US intervention is a story of suffering, misery and chaos. How many more catastrophic failures will it take before we learn the lesson?

My piece for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social on the illegal invasion of Venezuela.

Starmer’s Passivity on Venezuela is Cowardice
Keir Starmer’s evasiveness towards Donald Trump’s assault on Venezuela is a clarifying example of Britain’s ‘special relationship’ of unthinking submission to the White House’s interests.

One of the best changes to Heated Rivalry was expanding on Svetlana's character. We didn't know how much we needed Ksenia Daniela until we got her. And now I need to see her in more things, including, but far beyond, season 2.

Darren Jones saying repeatedly the Labour Government won't comment on a hypothetical.

It's not hypothetical - Trump is saying very loudly repeatedly what he's done and boasting about it.

And yet the UK Government won't even say it's a breach of international rules. Shameful.

They are this close to just posting “we blew shit up and it was so cool, bro“

The price of not holding men accountable is fascism. It’s also very cringe because these are profoundly stupid men with zero self-control or emotional self-regulation.
This is from the Whitehouse official account.

I've finally come around to watching Challengers (2024). I didn't know this was an Amazon MGM production, & I didn't expect there to be so many visible logos. But, those 2 facts make sense together. More comedic than I expected, too. Not funny 30 mins in, but the tone's there.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.
