I’m re-watching @greysanatomy.bsky.social trying to decide who the worst characters are. So far I’d rank them McDreamy, Maggie and April as the top 3.

I’m one episode in to the Jerry Springer documentary and it’s just reaffirming how vile this show was.

Peter Kraut is the mayor of Calabasas Lana Negrete is the Mayor of Santa Monica Victor Gordo is the mayor of Pasadena Bruce Silverstein is the Mayor of Malibu Lester Friedman is the mayor of Beverly Hills

@cnn.com I signed up to subscribe to see the Luther documentary and nothing is working. Major fail.

I’m watching the Press Conference for the New Orleans Terrorist incident realizing reporters still ask dumb questions.
