Never watched a Disney channel show. I feel like for people 2-3 years younger than me (I'm 39) that was their childhood
Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?
I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Anyway, it's a beautiful day to stream Bad Bunny.
MAGA have spent all day calling for the NFL to push out Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl halftime show artist and replace him with the band Creed.
These people have no culture.

I have 3 axioms that help me decide when to talk to people I disagree with:
1. To debate a subject is to concede that the subject is debatable.
2. To reason with a person is to concede that the person is reasonable.
3. To ask for evidence of a claim is to concede that the claim might be true.

Since this show is back a reminder to everyone about the showrunner. Also that the female costar of this show, after hearing that this guy assaulted someone, suggested they all hash it out on a podcast
Even if you don’t watch the show English Teacher, hope you'll read this. This is about more than 1 show, 1 guy.
FX just renewed a show from a man facing allegations of assault. I have a LOT of questions about the implications not just for FX but for the whole industry www.salon.com/2025/02/12/f...

FX’s renewal of "English Teacher" sends a dangerous message
FX's decision to look past allegations against Brian Jordan Alvarez signals a troubling disregard for survivors.
