I mentioned that I thought something was “uncanny valley” at work today and NO ONE knew what I meant! We’re talking multiple demographics here, and no one had heard that term before. I felt insane.

Today I discovered that Love You Long Time by the Black Eyed Peas samples Give It Up by KC & The Sunshine Band. I’m sure this isn’t a revelation to anyone but me, and both these songs are old and irrelevant now, but I had a moment where my mind was blown today.

It’s crazy how Taylor watched season 3, episodes 10 and 11 of Sex and the City and then immediately wrote Illicit Affairs.

Last weekend I found myself explaining LiveJournal to my 16 and 19 year old cousins and they were so confused as to how a site like that would be fun or entertaining that I just stopped the conversation. I miss the algorithm-less internet 😔

Hot take: Jaws (1975) is not meant to be watched in ultra HD. If I have to rent it instead of going to a screening in theaters, I’m renting it in SD and pretending I’m watching it on VHS.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

We all need to channel Pedro Pascal 🔥🔥🔥
When asked at Cannes about America’s political chaos, Pascal said:
“Fear is how they win—so keep telling your stories, keep expressing yourself, and keep fighting. F*ck the people who try to scare you. Fight back. Don’t let them win.”

Everyone: How Bad Do U Want Me sounds like a Taylor Swift song.
Me: HBDUWM sounds like Yazoo’s 1982 hit “Only You”, which was given a second life thanks to season 5 episode 2 of the hit tv series Once Upon a Time.

for the love of God. fucking honestly. “controversial salute.” it’s a nazi stiff arm salute. literally everybody knows this. “controversial” is a chickenshit word generally (what purpose does its use serve? hint: an editorial, not journalistic one) but when we’re talking about public nazi shit gah

Another word for "regulation" is...
"consumer protection"
"environmental protection"
"Regulation" means your milk is safe. "Regulation" means toys that harm your babies are removed from the shelves. "Regulation" means chemical companies can't dump waste in your river.

my kingdom for an elected official who will stand up and defend the fact that the government employs people to test wastewater and send old people money and keep an eye on the bears in the park and make sue the people that scammed you

We all know that the Luke/Lorelai slow burn is one of the best of all time, but the ramp up and culmination in season 4 of #gilmoregirls is a master class. There’s nothing like it. It needs to be studied.
