Acting just a bit odd since April 26th 1988
The difference between Hollywood and Heated Rivalry
is that
most movies will give you trauma
and Jacob Tierney will heal it.

#Glitter by #Arwin is the best #Melodifestivalen 2026 entry — big upgrade from 2025's boring This Dream Of Mine.
I wish Arwin's stage persona would take the performance seriously.
Where's the emotion, the inner struggle, acharacter arc? Arwin acts pompous the ENTIRE time, hard to empathize with.

Well, was the A*Teens' catchy new song on Sweden's national final #Melodifestivalen the most creative ever?
No.
Was it brilliant?
No.
BUT IT WAS ICONIC.

Is it weird to think Copacabana Boy by Junior Lerin is actually super catchy? That song was surprisingly good.

The characterization in Heated Rivalry is brilliant because it never gives Shane autism.
Shane just has it.
And that's the difference.

"Cinema should be seen in a cinema." I nod in agreement to Stellan Skarsgård's speech as I watch the Golden Globes on my phone in a Taco Bell.

I used to love how the hockey players on Letterkenny made up hilarious phrases, blurting out lingo too ridiculous to be real.

Now Heated Rivalry has me listening to the Empty Netters hockey podcast claiming "Scoring dual hattys floor cheese is so swaggy."
Maybe Letterkenny was pretty grounded.

In Shane's defense, 2009 closeted me had no clue what "come" meant either.

If the dictionaries had been patient until December 31st, they would know the true word of the year is "Cottage"

Petition to get Hudson and Connor to joint-host an episode of Saturday Night Live.

Like ASAP. Their energy would kill it on SNL.

And France wins the Junior Eurovision Song Contest for the 77th time in like 5 years.

Now #Spain, #Ireland, #TheNetherlands, & #Slovenia are boycotting the #EurovionSongContest 2026 over today's vote in Geneva of the European Broadcast Union to let a genocidal, cheating nation continue competing.

EBU, PLEASE do the right thing: get genocidal, cheating #Israel out of the contest next year. If the Israeli government tones down its war crimes, maybe they come back in 2027 no problem - but give them at least a 1-year break. #Eurovision #ESC #EBU #EuropeanBroadcastUnion

Why does everyone fucking hate me? All I do is try to live life and not be rude and not get in people's way - but it's like every friend I've had doesn't truly care I exist, and everyone else I meet day-to-day doesn't realize if they don't become my friend I won't have friends.

Growing up is dumb
because what do you mean I just pulled my shoulder muscle trying to squeeze my hand-sanitizer into the too-tight pocket of my jeans that may be the largest size I've ever owned but are still too tight?

Remember:
A man who is
good to his date
but rude to the waiter
is not a good man.

No politician may be *perfect*, but you deserve leaders who don't lie and lie and lie straight at your faces.
