I’m very confused by contestants on The Traitors being surprised to hear that Tara and Johnny are best friends. Are they in the library going, “A Tale of Two Cities…by Charles DICKENS?! What other secrets doth this duplicitous castle hide??”

Accurate captions generated by humans rather than machines should be SOP, not something I compliment streamers on, but I’m rewatching this week’s episode of THE PITT and feeling grateful for the accurate captions that allow me to look up medical jargon so I can learn new words like “dehiscence.”

Supporting Gavin Newsom in the primary is announcing that you'll step over the dead bodies of trans people and unhoused people to get what you personally want. It's a character defect. We can't be friends.

I just signed up for my first acting class. I spent the first half of my life being too terrified to try anything I loved; I’m gonna do my damnedest not to make the same mistake in the second half.

And perhaps most importantly,
5) Trek is about us, in the future. It has a legacy of people seeing themselves, in the future. Any concern about realism comes a distant, distant second to "I want someone to see themselves."
"I promise you, you'll still exist in the future. You're coming with us."

I’m awkward as fuck due to various neurodivergent and trauma-related issues and it’s infuriatingly difficult for me to connect with people, but the greatest sense of community I have ever felt is with fellow queer folks. 💜
I really fucking love queer people, y’all.

If you need a guest to talk about THE PITT on your podcast, I am your girl. (I’m not a medical professional, just a film critic who’s obsessed with the show.)

In all seriousness, I'd love to file copious lawsuits against these companies for an obvious abdication of responsibility to provide accurate subtitles for deaf and hard-of-hearing consumers.
They very clearly don't care about any respectable quality control, but that's just capitalism, baby!

Your daily reminder that subtitle viewers (particularly on streaming platforms) are treated like trash. I have experienced a demoralizing amount of obvious ai subtitles over the last year that clearly didn't get a single check for accuracy.

I went to a local shop for art supplies over lunch and I received nose and forehead kisses from their massive shop dog. It improved my day greatly, so I’m going to run for state office on a platform of transgender for everyone and a shop dog and/or cat in every store.

James Van Der Beek is one of those rare actors who could legitimately be called an icon to my micro-generation, but I didn’t watch Dawson’s Creek thanks to the whole homeschool thing, so what I love him for most is his insane, hilarious turn as himself in Don’t Trust the B in Apt 23. Perfect. RIP.

That the illegal destruction of USAID will kill more than *20 million people* in the next five years, & has ALREADY KILLED 600,000 in just one year, is a world-historical crime that Americans aren't being told about in the terms & with the repetition necessary for them to believe it.
