We did it, Joe! The gay fanfiction show is now #1 on HBO Max. Take that, Pennywise!

My entire Instagram feed right now is Heated Rivalry edits to Taylor Swift songs. The algorithm is really making me feel seen.

Wow, the 2025 timeline view of my YouTube Wrapped feels like a cry for help

Truly enjoying people's reactions to Heated Rivalry, although it's amusing me when people are like, "There's never been anything like this on mainstream TV before!" My dudes, QAF US premiered in 2000.

Now if your argument is there's never been a show that hit quite this many AO3 tags before, AGREED

So my fringe #StrangerThings theory is that at some point, Eleven will travel back in time, not to 1983, but to 1979, when she originally sent Henry away. It seems suspicious to me that they keep bringing up Hopper's daughter, so I feel like they're going to go far enough back to save her as well.

One thing that stands out in S5 Stranger Things is how much Joyce does not give a shit about Jonathan. She's like, "You can't go in the van, Will; it's too dangerous! Jonathan can go!"

Not that I blame her; Jonathan is so boring that I just had to Google his name bc I literally can't remember it.

I was looking through my spreadsheet of potential movie marathons (because lists are fun and soothing and so are movie marathons) and lol, I'd forgotten about the one in the upper left, which has to be my most niche movie marathon ever:

It seems like most people aren't doing this, so as a PSA: You need to start squirreling away a backup food supply. Now. This year could bring:

-Trade wars that impact supply lines
-Mass deportation of workers who harvest food
-High unemployment due to govt layoffs
-Recession panic-buying/shortages

How it's going with Amazon AI-generated review summaries! What's hilarious to me is that customer reviews are moderated & no profanity is allowed (I once had a review rejected because I said not to buy the pants unless you want camel toe), but somehow, AI is coming up with profanity all on its own.

To whoever added the feature in Outlook where you can just thumbs-up or heart an email someone sent you to acknowledge receipt instead of actually having to craft a response--I salute you. You have done God's work. Were it in my power to give you a Nobel Prize of some kind, I would do so. God bless.

I was just shopping for sugar-free Jello, and I suddenly remembered that at swim meets when I was a child, our parents and coaches would hand us packages of regular dry Jello mix to guzzle down, which was supposed to give us an "energy boost" so we would win. The 80s were wild.

For me, the sickest possible burn of coworkers is if you use their name as a verb with no other context and everyone understands exactly what you mean. "What's the problem?" "Oh, Jim is Jim-ing." "Ah, gotcha." The best part is, you don't have to actually insult them. Their brand speaks for itself.

I feel like we're sleeping on the #1 greatest potential of AI technology, which is that it could probably read fanfic in the voices of the actors who play the characters.

One thing that 2023 has taught me is that there is a huge segment of the population that seems to have no idea what cookie dough tastes like.
