@oliviawaite.com has written an absolute banger of an essay about Heated Rivalry, romance, and the arc of Jacob Tierney’s work.

Mouth and Muscle - The Rumpus
In Tierney’s shows, hockey runs on two blades: muscle and mouth. You need the athletic strength, speed, and skill — and if an opponent asks you, “Nice onesie, does it come in mens?” You need to be abl...

This is a really nice sentiment, but I cannot think of a better time for Canada to invest MORE in our film/TV sector. We’ve shown we can make international hits for a fraction of US budgets, but that’s not the hard part…
Congratulations again to the team behind Heated Rivalry. Your success is a powerful reminder of why it matters to invest in Canadian content and stories.

Canada's position in the world has never been stronger and we have America right where we want them:
We are now in the position to threaten to withhold season 2 of Heated Rivalry.

💯 things AI replaces aren't worth doing in the first place
like people are feeding it bullet points to write an email, other side asks it to summarize into bullet points which aren't even the same bullet points thanks to errors and made up additions, email the goddamn bullet points wtf are we doing

by far the funniest use case for AI is “I use it for powerpoints because I hate making them and nobody looks at them” because it kinda sounds like the real workflow savings would be to stop making powerpoints

what is a skyscraper?
a skyscraper is a tall office building with a spire, which, being secular and godless, scrapes against the Lord's own firmament, making a horrible nails on chalkboard noise for a full year until a groove is carved into it

Reminder that JK Rowling sees any support of Harry Potter as an endorsement of her political beliefs, and she uses Harry Potter royalties to further her transphobic hate campaign. Your friends and family might not think you're a bigot for buying Harry Potter shit, but Rowling herself certainly will.

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.
Mark Zuckerberg’s gamble on the "Metaverse" has lost his company more than $77 billion.

Also I know exactly who needs to hear this but when Paul Zaloom was not playing Beakman he was making radical queer art in which he opposed the George W. Bush administration and Iraq War with puppets
I don't know who needs to hear this, but all four seasons of Beakman's World are on Tubi.
One of the best science shows for kids ever produced and one that definitely should be mentioned alongside Mr. Wizard, 3-2-1 Contact, and Bill Nye the Science Guy.
