There's a pretty great Tumblr post about this:
Well I guess the good thing about GMMTV 2026 is that it allowed me to pare down my follows on Tumblr.
Someone just said they boycotted it because it was ridiculous that the actors had to take time out of their busy shooting schedules to shoot the trailers for the new shows.
I....it's their...job?

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING!! 🚨
In a previously unreleased memo, Teamsters President Sean O’Brien throws the FULL WEIGHT of his union behind striking Starbucks workers.
Teamsters drivers have already refused to make hundreds of deliveries to Starbucks stores where baristas are striking.

I feel like I want a weird medieval creature tattoo but I can't decide what variety. Weird looking cat? Weird hybrid creature? Some creature doing something odd? Hmmmmm.

I saw someone on Tumblr insisting 27/28 and I’m just there like ‘Do you have actual rocks for brains.’
The only thing this year that I think might bleed into 27 (and definitely not 28) is the Japanese remake because it’s a HUGE cast who’re all booked and busy.
(As has been the case with Scarlett ❤️)

I am sorry I won't shut up but are people's brains borken? We're not going to see the majority of these shows until late 2026/2027? Are you SERIOUS right now? Shows can air WHILE they finish shooting. Shows can have as few as 25-30 Qs. That's a month.
WAIT.

Another thought: I'm FASCINATED by the BrightGreat/GreatBright pairing (you fucking LOVE to see it) because GMMTV hasn't been the best about sexual politics onscreen, in terms of playing with stereotypes and so on. And Bright and Great sidestepped the question today too.
WHICH: GOOD.

I think people are conflating the immense numbers of trailers we get from Thai production houses that never get made into shows with GMMTV doing that, which to my knowledge, hasn't happened in a while AND wasn't THAT common for GMMTV to do?
Also, they're fairly on schedule, compared to 2024! Welp.

People are so mad at GMMTV and I simply don't get it? Like, who cares if they don't make all the shows?
I realize a lot of it is hardened opposition to the system that GMMTV has basically built (branded pairs, stable ships, longform boyfriend improv) but yeesh.
If it's not for you, fine!

This is a really nice idea
Someone bought a bunch of the turkeys and hams at our local grocery in town and told the manager to make them available for free to folks that need them. There’s a whole freezer case with a sign on it that just says “If you need one take one, if you don’t then leave it for someone else.”

Tomorrow is a month away from Xmas Eve. Please have a look to see if you have any children's clothes, books, toys, etc that are no longer needed & donate them to your local charity shop ASAP. The demand for these items is now, not after Xmas. People are skint but still want to make Xmas special. ❤️

Colleagues and I were just talking about this: The CTA holiday train is the purest experience of joy in the city. -No one- is so jaded that they don’t light up when they see it. Commuters get genuinely excited. People smile and laugh and text pictures to their friends. It’s a delight.
Non-Chicagoans don't realize how fun it is to see the Holiday Train pulling into the station. A little jolt of joy gives you a lift.
CTA Holiday Train!!!

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

We will need tribunals and Democrats need to start talking about that
A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."
