1. Britney’s conservatorship was fucking awful and sounds borderline barbaric, especially as the people running it were simultaneously continuing to exploit her.

I forgot about Billie Eilish too, and yeah, both were solid.

I actually liked The Beach. It’s not the world’s greatest movie but I saw it at an age where I was probably just under the targeted demo, so it seemed better than it was.

I’m not much of a fan of westerns and I am not saying this is the best one at all, but it one that I find actually engaging and entertaining.

I looked at the list, I could have sworn Chance the Rapper did double duty, but thought maybe I was mistaken.

I still like Stewart/Oliver/TDS/etc, but at this point, my attention has shifted away from them. It’s too depressing to be entertained by shows that basically say “the world is quickly burning and there is no solution. Here are some clever jokes about how fucking awful everything is. See you next week if there is…

This is unfortunate, but not surprising. I don’t have Apple+ so I guess I was (ahem) part of the problem, but I did enjoy clips of the show on Youtube. Apple wanting to protect relationships that Stewart wanted to examine made this a natural to axe. I would love to see him join HBO for a block with John Oliver, as I…

Speaking only for myself, my family did not dine-out at all during COVID and had takeout pizza from a chain place maybe twice during that span. When we started going out to restaurants again, my partner and I were both blown away with how expensive everything was. I am not sure this is limited to just pasta dishes.

Gaetz seems like the kind of person that would jaw a lot, puff out his chest, maybe even push the other guy... then immediately get punched in the mouth and turn his stagger backwards into a full on sprint out the door while looking back with a “what did you do?!” expression on his face. Then complain afterwards about…

Keeso was in Elysium though after having seen most of Letterkenney, I would not realize it was him in Elysium.

This. It was definitely a well-intentioned and interesting article, but kids like what they like and that tends to be the familiar stuff.

I can only hope they amount to more than “hey, gop, you’re going to honor these promises in the future, right?”

DeWine’s “rebuttal” reminds of the old point/counterpoint article from The Onion years ago:

I think Radcliffe could mostly pull it off if he wanted to. He’s a good actor, looks the part and has charisma. That said, I am guessing that post HP, Radcliffe is all set with franchises/long term commitments.

“You’re spare parts, Bub”

If the Dems came out tomorrow and said “you know what? Everyone should be armed. And yeah, climate change is made up” There is a small part of me that thinks repubs would start advocating for gun control and limiting climate damage.

Thank you. I feel like the “its a tax write-off!!!!!!” is a bogeyman that has been blown way out of proportion. The tax system is flawed, but this is not studios “exploiting a loophole” or whatever. The studios are doing plenty of shitty things, not the least of which is taking these shows out of rotation to avoid…

Like a number of others, this is the first I am hearing about it and it’s apparently already done? That is unusual these days.

Genisys I could chalk up to Cameron just saying something nice about the franchise in between doing whatever he was doing for Avatar (I assume). I assumed at the time that his assistant or someone gave him a 30 second rundown and Cameron thought “ok, sure” and then talked it up. Dark Fate on the other hand... damn. He…

Hush and Creep are two that pop up so much on my streaming services, I avoid them in protest. Maybe I should change that, even though it feels like giving in.
