This season of The Traitors feels particularly like people forget they're literally playing a GAME.

When people say stuff like 'I think you're a really good person but I think you might be a Traitor' – as if it's a moral defect or a character flaw?! It's a role in a game!!! 🙄

Love the folks who decided to start 2025 off with a bang by continuing to lose their fucking minds in LinkedIn comments.

Always interesting when someone doesn’t sue the person who accused them of abuse, but instead goes after the people who made it public.
Justin Baldoni, the director and co-star of the film “It Ends With Us,” and his publicists sued The New York Times, claiming the news organization defamed them in an article about allegations by Blake Lively, his co-star, that she had been the victim of a smear campaign.

This was a hard thing to write, but I think it's important to humanise statistics and to share stories behind numbers so we don't become numb to such stark figures all of the time.

I, like so many other mothers and parents, deserved better.

Given all the conversation about puberty blockers this week, wouldn’t it be helpful to hear from… a trans person?!

As in Tennessee, this ban does not apply to cis children, because the drugs themselves are not a safety hazard. The only thing at risk is a society’s discomfort with allowing young people to make their own decisions about their own bodies.

I really wish someone would publish an 'Eras Tour By The Numbers' article or perhaps a video. Nobody had that idea.

This thread by Nathan on the impact, legacy and overall brilliance of The Eras Tour is spot on.

Should add that very few commentators – if any – actually have experienced the show like he has, know the music and understand the ticketing system/business as he does, so listen up tbh.
Fine. I saw it 7 times in multiple countries. My daughters made a cameo in the documentary. Here's what I think are the lasting legacies of the incredible Taylor Swift Eras Tour that ends tonight:

It's my band's end of term performance tonight at an actual pub and I'm super excited but also I had a stress dream that Martin Kemp was in the band and I couldn't ever remember his name and was too embarrassed to try to introduce him to anyone as I just kept thinking 'isn't his son called Roland?'
