At this point, should we just assume that if you were in Get Him to the Greek you’re a human nightmare? Like, has Rose Byrne secretly killed a guy

More of this Cory Booker shit. MORE OF IT. I don’t care if it seems silly, MORE DISRUPTION.
We’re living in an attention economy, and meaningful spectacle does matter.
Be a thorn. Be a grit. Be a stick in the spokes when they’re running over people. BE ANNOYING.

Screaming that “How Bad Do You Want Me” sounds like a Taylor Swift song is “Only You” erasure.

Shower thought: is the “We’re in the middle of a hostile government takeover” song guy the same guy as the “you make a brother plant, a baby brother plant” song guy?
Also if you sang both of those TikTok sounds in your head, let’s be friends

I haven’t been this stressed out by an episode of tv since Breaking Bad.

The idea that anyone would pick a fight with Boston in Feb is hilarious to me. Do you know what mental state New England is in in FEBRUARY?? It’s been 8 degrees with stone-gray skies for literal months, this town is hanging on by a THREAD. We’ll start a bloodbath over a parking spot. Good luck.

I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi.
Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes.

'These kids do not care about romance': Game devs want to know what today's teens want, and surveys say sex and romance isn't it
Young people want stories about friendship more than romance, say researchers and industry execs.

Just opened TikTok for the first time today. First video I was shown was Trump’s speech over stock Americana footage — the kind of video that’s NEVER crossed my FYP. The second: Elon’s salute.
It’s been, what, 4 hours? This is going to be a nightmare.
