Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

I have not been much of a jeopardy viewer in the Ken Jennings era, but this is one of the coolest things I have ever seen in Something like 40 years of watching that show on and off
nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

I was trying to figure out who Pam Bondi reminded me of during her congressional testimony and then it hit me

This goes so hard and I made this mistake of watching it at night and now I am not longer sleepy

I’m not going to buy this, but the “complete score to co-op” just shifted this into the must buy for a bunch of people I know

Industry, HBO’s answer to the TV question: How awful can we make all of the characters before the show breaks?

I have at least two friends who have died from adult-onset schizophrenia.

It is one of the most complicated, awful things in the world.

THE PITT corrects/supplements a famous performance in ER the depicted a violent schizophrenic who commits murder. This depiction looks far wiser.

This show is such a comical combination of very subtle performances welded onto some old school tv tricks.
Biker guy on The Pitt: “Four wheels moves the body but two wheels moves the *soul.* You’re gonna be in *heaven.* The trip sounds to *die* for.”

Dr. Robby: “Yes I think I will live a long time.”

Robby, he got tuned up by COs!
February 13, 2026 at 3:52 AM
This would be funny if it wasn’t horrific and disgraceful and embarrassed to be an American rn, you craven fucks.
February 13, 2026 at 3:35 AM
That exchange between Al-hashimi and Robby was almost a Sorkin dialogue in-joke about being on TV in 2002.

So much going on here, wish I could adequately convey to people outside of south jersey how perfect Adelphia is as the venue for the Piven Experience
@normcharlatan.bsky.social know there’s a lot going on but wanted to make sure you saw this

“Let’s get back on the horse” is a v funny and gently fucked up thing to say to a guy who has gotten sober from benzos.

Yet another example of a line only this actress as Dana could pull off.
February 13, 2026 at 3:19 AM
Holy shit, Santos! 👀👀👀 Look at you.

I can’t tell if the young docs realize this guy got stomped by COs or the genuinely don’t know. Bold acting choice.

THEY ARE HITTING THE HELMET THING KINDA HARD.

Also, this show shows more respect for nursing than I’ve ever seen on a medical show? It’s can’t be, right? What am I not thinking of?
February 13, 2026 at 2:55 AM
Honestly, THE PITT leveled the fuck up from ER in its depiction of mental health. Like, CONSIDERABLY. Kudos to the writers and Wyle.
February 13, 2026 at 2:52 AM
Peace and blessings to the recovering addict on the PITT writing staff to give a really fair, non-judgemental assessment of the body horror that is end stage alcoholism.

I am not being cute. That was remarkable.
