I can’t imagine a better season finale of #HeatedRivalry than the one we got. I wrote about why I loved it so much, why Shane and Yuna’s scene hit way too close to home, and why this was the best way to end 2025.

*extreme Saoirse Ronan voice*: "WOMEN —"
NEW EP: LITTLE WOMEN (2019)

“Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.”

We’ve been doing a full series rewatch of THE BRADY BUNCH and it’s wild how well the gender politics of “The Liberation of Marcia Brad hold up.

Going on day 3 of not having any internet at home because Verizon is the dirt fucking worst. No updates, just constantly changing the estimated return time in four-hour increments. But somehow the hotspot ALSO through Verizon works? Sure, okay.

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power
