My dream “if I had fuck you money” would be to open a combination movie theater bookstore. It’d show mostly indie and old movies, and do special book-themed adaptation nights for half off.

SA means so little that men will commit it, get a slap on the wrist, and then feel comfortable building a public-facing career under their name. The fallout is a bad few months while fans demand we immediately move on. If you call it out, you’re just the bitch who hates restorative justice.

It’s possible he has really changed and grown. But that’s speculation. The hard facts are that he still felt safe building a career posturing as a moral, ethical guy under his name. That just shows how low the stakes were to him, that he didn’t even consider pivoting to a pseudonym.

Meanwhile survivors are stuck seeing his face every time his videos get recommended, forced to remember what happened to them. And he’ll continue raking in views. Because that’s what happens every single time with this shit. Ask me how I know.

Watching Hell’s Kitchen and I’m convinced the lighting crew hates food. All of the plates look SO unappetizing. You’re telling me they can’t get some quick glamour shots in an attached studio before the plate goes out? They literally film out of a warehouse they built JUST for this show.

I LOVE Game Changer, but this season was too much for me. Too many cast members, too many rules, too many twists, too big of productions. The only thing they didn’t have too much of was cutting mid footage to improve the pacing. It was a season of bloat.

the worst is how often they’re just clip farming for shorts instead of having organic reactions. It’s like they want to have a 100 million view TikTok so much they just stopped trusting their cast and started over-engineering everything.

Had to form an alliance with a stranger to capture a wasp in a paper bag on the bus today. Since I was the bag owner, I became the designated bag holder and eventual wasp releaser. So please refer to me as “Becca, Tamer of the Hive” now, ty.

The wasp originally boarded on a person’s jacket. It did not pay the fare. My alliance stranger noticed and was about to flick it off of her. I intervened with the bag so that there wasn’t a live angry wasp flying around a moving bus. It was a team effort.

Ed Sheeran’s tour is falling apart because he’s a spineless piece of shit who is more okay with genocide than he is with upsetting his billionaire buddies. It’s been genuinely awesome to see all of the openers, and even his own backing band, withdraw from the tour to make a stand.

I’m late to this movie but Olivia Wilde’s The Invite might be my favorite watch of the year, idk. Obsession and PHM were both incredible but The Invite was the perfect mix of hilarious and devastating for me.

The best/worst feeling is getting an idea that you know will be sick as hell, but adds 1000x more work to make something only like five people will ever care about. But man, those five weirdos are going to have a blast and you’re one of them.

I hate looking up information on any release because to this day I think Prometheus would’ve been 100x better if they hadn’t revealed it was an Alien prequel and we found out in theaters

Wrapping up a creative project I’ve been consumed by for the better part of a year and feeling that specific type of empty grief you get after you finish a good book :')

Does anybody else have a designated family member you've shared a secret time loop safe word with for years, where if you say it they immediately have to believe you, or is it just me?

I don't mind game devs reaching out to pitch their games, but please at least look at my channel first. Don't tell me how much fun it'd be to share on my stream and how much my chat would love it when I literally am not a streamer.

Whenever I post to TikTok, I do it from desktop because I don't actually use the app. Which means every time, I get hit with two seconds of the most unhinged shortform content known to man and am left deeply confused.

Just saw YouTube is doubling viewership requirements for creators to be eligible for ad/premium revenue, which reinforces slop. Because the easiest way to hit either of these targets is to churn out the most low-effort shit possible. Investing time/effort on a single video is now much riskier.

BTW I’m already monetized and meet these thresholds. I know what it takes, and I know this is just the latest in a long line of decisions YouTube has made that pushes the platform away from quality while hurting small creators.

Also, even if you’re not monetized and don’t have ads you put on the video yourself, YouTube will still sometimes put ads on it. The catch is that since you aren’t monetized, they get to keep 100% of the ad revenue that’s on the video *you* made. Raising the requirements means more money for them.

If you’re a leftist who still gets shocked when the neoliberal science guy does stuff you disagree with, you’re underestimating how different your values actually are.

Whenever I’m on an airplane I think about the Twilight Zone episode where they fly through some bad weather that makes them time travel by accident and then they have to keep flying in hopes of making it back to their original time but their fuel is getting low… my anxiety is fine what do u mean

I’ve seen talk of Dungeon Crawler Carl being a bro-y power fantasy series. A bromantasy if you will. I won’t argue that, I think it is one. But I love it because it’s also a proletariat power fantasy, viva la révolution!

My perfect bookstore would separate Sci-Fi and Fantasy, with a Sci-Fantasy section in the middle. The middle section would be a gradient based on which way the book leans.

I don't know, gang. When the party obsessed with Ai gives me a single photo as proof of life, I'm gonna have to ask for some independent verification from someone *not* trying to game an upcoming election before I believe jack and/or shit.

I got to know Senator Lindsey Graham traveling with him abroad in Afghanistan and Ukraine. We had just met to renew the fight for our Big Tech bill. Even though we disagreed on much, he was always willing to negotiate, with humor and wit. My heart goes out to his loved ones.
