Whew... Blakes 7.
The fourth series of Blackadder.
I was finding season three of The Good Place just adequate, but the finale was a heartbreaking leap back to form.
TNG's "All Good Things" deserves credit for going out so solidly on its own terms and for such a perfect last scene.
"Saul Gone."

Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

Never let a single goddamned person on the Right ever claim again that they’re the party of law and order without laughing in their lying face.
So Capitol Police officers were assaulted and injured on Jan 6th, the White House today is blaming them for the violence, and the people who attacked them have been pardoned and are back to mock and abuse them on the 5th anniversary.
And the GOP is the party of the police? Really? REALLY??

Tech companies are not seriously trying to build sustainable platforms or businesses. We are not the market anymore. Their market is investors and their sole business goal is duping as many gullible investors as they can this quarter.
my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

The vaccine autism thing is bullshit but even if you believed it, it seems incredibly fucked up to then believe that raising child death rates is some sort of worthwhile trade-off to reduce autism rates
BREAKING: CDC announces an unprecedented overhaul of the childhood vaccine schedule, a significant shift that recommends fewer shots for all kids.

BREAKING
The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.
Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.

Somebody online once said of my work "yeah, I like the Gentleman Bastard books but it'd be nice to read one where the plot wasn't just that Locke has a bomb collar around his neck," and I was like- First: rude. But also: Huh. Shit. That is in fact a picture of me committing the crime, officer.

If the Supreme Court had to rule on the constitutionality of the Donald Trump Can Kill Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito's Family Members Whenever He Wants For No Reason Act, I swear to god it would be 7-2 against, Thomas and Alito dissenting.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

A broad spectrum of American voters is fiercely energized against corruption, against fascism, and against the GOP, and this vaguely politician-shaped object is working so hard to calm them back down
A discharge petition to advance a policy ending congressional stock trading was finally moving forward when Hakeem Jeffries sucked the air out of it. By proposing his own bill that no Republican would sign, Jeffries effectively made consensus impossible. From @ddayen.bsky.social:
Jeffries Undercuts Congressional Stock Trading Ban - The American Prospect
A bipartisan solution was gaining momentum, but the House Democratic leader just issued his own bill that will prevent consensus.
