When you see a negative comment about something you love, try this simple test:
1 Did you love it before the negative comment?
2 Do you still love it after the negative comment?
If the answer to 1 and 2 is “yes,”then:
3 Why are you upset? Go love your thing. No one’s stopping you.

Couldn’t Adam Woodyatt have reminded the writers that, back in the day, Ian was bullied for wanting to be a chef? And so maybe he wouldn’t be such a dick about another kid being bullied? #EastEnders

I never watched Dawsons Creek (by the time it was on, I had aged out of its audience demographic), but I really enjoyed James Van Der Beek‘s performance on Don’t Trust the B in Apt 23.

The dentist's office had a plumbing leak, which meant a shop-vac was running loudly and folks were loud-talking over it. So my usual dental anxiety was overlaid with my visceral aversion to sustained noise, and that was a lot of fun.

PSA: If you didn’t watch the game, the halftime show, or the commercials, it’s fine. You’re fine. We’re not in junior high anymore, and there is no cool kids’ table.

I just want both teams to have a good time. And to donate large chunks of their massive salaries to protect vulnerable Americans from the collapse of democracy.

When the water wars arrive thanks to generative AI destroying the environment, people like this slop creator should be required to fight on the front lines.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.
“Why do tenure-track folk who’ve been here a few years get paid more than I do after 25 years?”
“Why do do many educated people unquestioningly embrace AI?”
“How long until I can retire?”

“Let people enjoy things” is one of the most ridiculous parts of toxic positivity. No one needs to *let* you enjoy something. You just do it or not. The only person who can stop you from enjoying something is you.

The best part about people like this is that most of the world doesn’t know they exist, and we can all just ignore them happily. They can simmer and stew in their over-theorized little lives and the rest of us can do our thing in reality.
