the whole ‘actually, killing the villain makes us just as bad as him’ trope had done incomprehensible damage to society and i’m not kidding

Would it kill The Bear people to film one scene where the exterior isn't gray or wet?? It's routinely sunny in Chicago cmon!!! Won't be addressing the wetness.

Need to find a nice way to ask friends who say shows or movies they watched were too confusing if they were playing their Nintendo Switch or scrolling while they were watching.

If I won the self publishing lottery with an OK book that leads into an unbelievably dumb pair of sequels, I wouldn't post shit like this.

Hacks is a great comedy series that is going to lose Best Comedy to a drama (The Bear) that evades classification as a drama because it would lose Best Drama to Shōgun, a limited series that won't compete for Best Limited Series so that Fargo, a comedy series, has a chance there. Enjoy the Emmys!

Starting to suspect the children’s animation company that makes the imagination look as much as possible like a workplace in film after film after film may not have its audience’s long-term emotional well-being at heart

It's so weird to see the "hey they're my friend and super fun to chill with" magnified to national politics. It's a bad defense of any behavior! Why do these people especially think it's persuasive!

People who are reading something to provide feedback interact with works differently than people who are reading/watching something to enjoy it. You have to learn to disregard the "but why ~is~ he an International Man of Mystery" questions someone asks when in feedback mode, if you can.

I 100% agree but I think part of the problem is a lot of workshops/writer's groups/power players end up providing feedback that amounts to asking people to include what ultimately could be considered "lore"

Nothing in this country works yet it costs so much. And the people who make it miserable make 30 mil a year and have zero accountability to their customers.

When the NYT and other outlets ask why people feel the economy is bad, I think this is a huge part of it. Not because of air travel specifically, but because we pay $$$ for basic services we don't receive (or receive poorly) in so many facets of contemporary life. And there's nothing we can do.

For the 3rd time in 12 months, we boarded a plane, sat for an hour, and then had to deplane and had our flight cancelled, and now have to scramble to figure out where to sleep, how to get home, who will watch our dog, what to do about work, etc.

if the senate and biden pass this, no amount of browbeating will resurrect his 2024 electoral chances. it's disgusting that in spite of this all, libs and dems continue to say "but trump would be worse" as if gleeful participation in genocide is much worse than willing participation in genocide.

it is sickeningly abhorrent that in the middle of widespread pro-palestinian protests and encampments demanding a ceasefire, the house has responded by passing a bill that legally defines being anti-zionist or criticizing israel as anti-semitic for the purposes of enforcing anti-discrimination laws.
