Also in the same series:
Implying someone is gay as an insult (and justifying it as “they would hate to be called that”)
Describing evil behaviour in clinical mental illness terms.
Both things just show what you really think and it doesn’t go unnoticed.

SO MUCH THIS, I am also so very tired of this, shaming terrible people is great but shame them for the REASON THEY ARE TERRIBLE and not for anything about their bodies or appearances
look. these people care deeply about appearances and superficial appearance and I get it’s very tempting to dunk on the gap between their displays of suppposed strength and health and YOUR perception of their strength and health. but that’s just putting a different wrapper their (shit!) framework.

shaming people for appearances that don’t appeal to you ain’t the fuck okay—even if it’s genuinely evil middle aged white men you’re shaming!—because the stigma *doesn’t fucking stop with people whose politics you hate*. shame them for their shit fucking politics and evil, leave aesthetics out of it

Also please stop calling The Thing That Happens At The End of Act I in Project Hail Mary a twist. It's not a fucking twist. Stop being perverts (derogatory) and calling every unexpected plot development a twist and every hint of the plot a spoiler.

I was never a huge B-52s fan. I was a little too young for their earlier stuff and only became aware of them later. Which is a shame because Private Idaho slaps so godsdamn hard.

Best dating advice I could give my kids is that 80% of attraction is confidence and vulnerability. Then showed them this video as an example. The comments are as thirsty as you’d imagine.

I just heard the phrase “historically accurate vintage 2000’s fashion” so I will be spending the day lying on the floor with The Sound Of Silence on repeat until the pitiless winds of time scatter my ashes across eternity.

New Muppets make things go good in brain land. So glad they rebooted the old format instead of whatever that edgy bullshit they do last was.
Although I foresee the inverse of when I was a kid and too young to know half the guests and references. Now I’m too old.

Both my Swedish and Australian sides disproportionately pissed at Canada cheating at curling then yelling and swearing about it to try to cover it up. Nauseatingly unsporting imo.

I am not enjoying how Dr Santos’ entire arc this season seems to be just there to serve the AI subplot. Also could do with a lot more Dr King. Season 2 of The Pitt has kind of lost the magic.
