Had a dream where Ellen straightened the collar of one of those dumb little shirts she wears, said, "butched up, dripped out" and then walked directly into a brick wall

Really wish we could do timed muting for accounts on here or something. Like, I adore Mara Wilson but I don't give a single fuck about baseball and it is All. I. See.
I know it's over now so it's mostly moot but still. One of those where I didn't wanna mute because I'd forget but damn

Tron Ares has a sex cultist with shark eyes and no personality as the lead, a cameo by Mr Beast, and a sponsorship by Twitter and Grok. It was never going to be good
I'll always be sad we never got the real sequel to Legacy. I wanted to see Tron redeemed beyond that last second act of sacrifice

"I headcanoned this character as trans and Dana said she's not so Dana is a transphobe" is some galaxy brain stupid shit. Also, maybe wait for an episode beyond the pilot to see if there are any trans characters? Maybe?
Oh good, the Knights of Guinevere discourse has started
*reads up on it*
This is the most presumptuous and bad-faith bullshit I have ever seen
